Disclaimer: I don't own the characters here. Tamora Pierce does.

Alanna watched as Jon left the tent, but couldn't stop the parade of tears from falling down her face. She looked down. He stopped, and listened to her sob endlessly. But he just kept walking towards his tent.

The next morning Jon woke to yells from Alanna's tent. "What is she doing now" Her muttered. Jon walked over to her tent and heard voices.

"I know that you want me just to say yes. But it just isn't that easy. I would have to give up soo much, just to say one word." It was Alanna speaking.

"All you have to do is say yes, and then say that you don't want to have the wedding for a year so that you can get your yaya's out. Have one last adventure before you become Queen of Tortall." The voice was obviously Corams.

"Coram, you know that I would have to have way more time then just a year. I mean, I would have to come back and do all of the wedding preparations and all of the stuff, that you know just isn't me!"

There was a pause. "Well, if you aren't going to marry Jon, then who are you going to marry?" More silence fallowed.

Alanna walked out of the tent. "Jon, what were you doing?" She asked in a mocking town.

He wanted to say, 'Ooh just listening to you and Coram fight about why you should and shouldn't marry me!' But instead her replied, "Ooh, I was walking by your tent and heard you and Coram in the middle of a heated discussion. Don't know what it was about."

Alanna looked at him blankly. "Of course Jonathan." she slapped him on the back "I could tell that you were listening. You're horrible at lying."

(Back to Alanna)

Alanna headed to get breakfast. On her way she thought, 'Maybe Coram is right. If I'm not going to marry Jon then who am I going to marry? Gary? Raoul? Or even George. 'She shivered. 'I just don't want to settle down and have a family gust yet. But I know that Jon is willing to wait. What would happen if I didn't marry him, who would I marry then? And who would HE marry? Some foreign woman, that is gorgeous?'

She got her food and sat down at a table, still lost in thought.

'If I love him then I should marry him.' A voice said to her.

'But you would have to give up everything, just for a guy, it's not worth it.' Another voice called. Is not marrying him worth spending the rest of your life living with a man that you don't love?

'Is not marrying him worth wasting your life?' The smallest voice was the voice that made Alanna think. 'Is not marrying him worth being jealous of any other woman in his arms, and still loving him till the end of your days?'

She got up and walked out of the tent, never touching her food. She ran around the camp site. "Jon! Jon!" 'Was he already gone? I have ruined everything! He left and all because of my own selfish self!'

"Did some one call my name?" Jon walked up to Alanna.

She collected herself. "Yeah, it was me."

"Ooh really." Jon looked at her sarcastically.

"Yeah, can I talk to you in my tent?"

"Sure," was his calm reply.

They walked in silence. When they got to the tent they stood and looked around uncomfortably and shuffled their feet.

"Look Jon," Alanna finally spoke. "I was thinking about, well, your proposal and my, well, reaction. I wanted to know if you would give me a second chance."

"Is this the same Alan-I mean Alanna that I went to the palace with?"

"Jonathan, please."

"Alanna, you know what my answer is, and I am really sorry that I pushed you so hard," There was a pause. "Is that all that you want to talk about?"

"No, that is not all, I wanted to say this: Yes."

"Yes to what?"

"Jon. I am saying yes. I want to marry you!"

"Do you mean that?" He held her eyes with his own, trying to gauge
her seriousness.

"Of course I do," She replied. Jonathan's face lit up with boyish delight.

"I love you Alanna." He spun her around and kissed her firmly on the
mouth, sealing the deal.

"But Jon, before the wedding," she said after the kiss ended. "I would have to go on one last adventure."

"Anything for my future bride." He kissed her again happily. Alanna thought to herself 'I hope that I'm not going to regret this later…'

Ok sorry, but that seemed like a good stopping place and OMG a CLIFFY! Well I won't have any inspiration if I don't have any R-E-V-I-E-W-S! So please review! -Megmae
