A/N: I have no idea if anyone has done this idea yet. Chances are there have been, so…Ya. Sorry about that. Also, if it's in italics and underlined that means that they're using their connection. Mmkay?

The Circle in King Jonathon's Court

"I know you all just got back from a court disaster, but I need you all to accompany Sandry again. This time it is to a place called Tortall across the Emerald Ocean." said Duke Vedris.

I don't know…What if the same thing happens? thought Daja.

Allow me. thought Briar.

"Does Sandry have any land claims there?" inquired Briar. The Duke shakes his head. "Is there a treaty that needs to be signed?" Again, the Duke shakes his head. "Then why, in the name of Lailan, are we going?!"

"Sandry wants to go." expalined the Duke calmly.

"If she wants to go, why does she need our protection?" asked Tris crossly. She was grumpy because of all the winds that were winding through.

"She doesn't, but she is your sister. Also, I've heard that Tortall is rather…interesting." answered the Duke.

There he goes playing the sister card again. thought Briar.

Don't they always? Maybe I should read up on this 'Tortall'…thought Tris.

You just want an excuse to read Coppercurls. thought Briar.

Oh will you two stop arguing! Just let me handle this, okay? Okay. thought Daja.

"Sir, this is very sudden. I know I can speak for us all when I say that we're tired from our journey back. All we ask is three days in order to recooperate. After that, we'll give you our answer." explained Tris.

"Of course! That's perfectly reasonable! After all, I did come to you on your first day back. Good luck with your reading Tris. I assume you can spell 'Tortall'." answered Vedris. And with a wink and a smile he left.

You've been bargaining with Traders too much. thought Briar.

Admit it, you were impressed. thought Daja.

Ok…I was impressed, so what? thought Briar.

I'm going to read. You two are giving me a headache. thought Tris.

Have fun Coppercurls! Try not to get too much ink on your nose! thought Briar.

Three days later:

"What will you answer be?" inquired Vedris.

"We'll go." answerd Tris, Daja, and Briar.

"Good! Sandry will be very excited! Your ship leaves in three days." explained Vedris.

"We'll be there, Sir." answered Daja.

"Perfect! Then I'll be going! And…Sandry will probably be here later. She just finished a book on Tortallian fashions." said the Duke. They groaned. "Excellent! Good bye."

"Good bye." they said.

Later That Day:

"Hello my darling sisters and brother!" Sandry exclaimed.

Uh oh. Who wants to distract her? thought Briar.

Good luck! thought Tris and Daja.

Hey! Get back here! thought Briar. But it was too late, they were already gone.

"Uhh…Hi Sandry. What are those pins for?" asked Briar, while gulping at the sight of all the pins Sandry carried.

"Oh nothing, but could you stand still for a minute? I just need to check the the size of this shirt…" she asks while jumping at Briar.

"You're gonna have to faster than that to catch me Duchess!" he exclaims over his shoulder, while running to his room.

"Oh no you don't!" yells Sandry. At that moment Briars pantlegs rearranged themsleves, so that they were connected. Because of this, Briar fell.

"Oww! Can't you warn me before you do that?" he asked while rubbing his head, which happened to hit when his body collided with the floor.

"But if I did that then you wouldn't stop, now would you? Stand up and hold still!" she ordered. He did, but he grumbled the whole time.

A/N: Aaw! Poor Briar! Anyways, I need you to review! Please? Pretty please? Just one little review is that too much to ask? Also, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
