Welcome!

Thanks! Let's see if I can think of something now.

Fern weaved through the crowd peering around men and women that stood in the crowded square. She just had to get to the tournament. A space opened between two people and she had just enough room to slip through. Her father had just brought silks in from the furthest reaches of the world and he would be selling them in the square during the remainder of the tournament. She smiled. That was not the reason she just had to get to the tournament. There were boys at the tournament! She smoothed her pale blue cotton dress over her hips self-consciously. A hawker hawking his wares pushed roughly past her and she took a step back bumping into someone. Embarrassed she turned around and found a boy about her age frowning down at her. She blushed, "Sorry, I was pushed."

~~~~~~~~~
Uh, I can't think of anything more.

"Hey, someone just called you," Kala looked back.
Oridea jumped a little and spotted the girl with long hair, "Emily!" she shouted, putting up her hand.
She grabbed Kala's hand and started pulling her cousin forwards. Mumbling a sorry as she accidentally stepped on someone's foot, she reached Emily at last.
The two of them collapsed onto the bench. Emily pulled Oridea in for a hug.
"It's been so long!" she said excitingly.

later!

Keisha and Marrco watched as each of the remaining contestants, fired their bows.
"What is it about the jousting that you like?" Keisha asked.
"Well, it's exciting, and there are bigger prizes. Do you like watching the joust?"
"Sord of. I don't really understand the rules."
"Well, then I shall educate you. Only nobles can compete in the joust. In one round, there are three lances. One lance, is for the waist to the neck. Two lances for a blow to the head. The head is hard, because most Knight's life their heads at the last moment. You loose sight of your target, but it protects your eyes. Three lances, is if you knock the opponent off his horse. You also win his horse if you do so."
"I see."

"Huh?" Alex looked around at who pushed him.
"Sorry" She said, looking down.
"No, it's fine" Alex said (once he saw it was a girl).

There was silence between them.

"Trying to get to the tournament?" Alex asked, after a little while.
"Yes" She replied.
"Oh come on, I know a shortcut" Alex said, waving his hand.

"Oridea! I missed you so much! Do you know anybody competeing? I cheering for the red knight (blushing). Are you going to the ball? I'm going, but do not know what to wear."

Fern followed the boy through the crowd. He led her through a small shop and out the back onto a less crowded street. She slowed, out of breath, "Whoa, slow down. I'm not in that big of a hurry."

The boy stopped looking back at her as she dusted off her dress. He walked up to her looking down at her, "What's your name?"

Fern looked up into his green eyes giving him a bright smile putting a hand on her hip she tilted her head slightly to one side, "Well, how kind of you to ask in such a way." He blushed with embarrassment but she waved off his apologies. "Never mind, I'm just joking. My name's Fern Willow. Do you have a name?"

"Ah, Alex. Alex deWinslette."

Fern straightened slightly giving Alex another careful look before dropping her gaze and dipping in a slight curtsey, "Pleasure to meet you, my lord."

Alex frowned in dismay taking her by the arm, "Enough of that. I didn't tell you my name to have you bowing and scraping before me."

Fern examined his face then smiled shyly, "You have beautiful eyes."

~~~~~~~
i gave your character a last name, boy wonder. hope that's ok with you.

Oridea smiled as Emily bombarded her with questions. "What a surprise seeing you here, but yet again, knowing you it wasn't so surprising. Yeah, my cousin Llian's competing at the archery competition. Here, meet Kala who's also my cousin. Kala, this's Emily."
Kala beamed, "Nice to meet you Emily, oh my! You've got such nice hair!" A delighted expression crossed her face.
"You should've introduced her to me cousin, how did you two meet? From my recollection, you haven't been to Aliqua for what? like three years?" Kala said.
"It was quite a story...." Oridea shrugged, noticing Emily's unwavering gaze at the arena. The red knight was standing out in the open and he looked magnificent as the armour shone brightly against the sunlight. The archery competition was beginning and rapidly building up to an intense level as two of the knights both scored the same points. Llian was one of them, and Kala cheered loudly.
With a mischievous glint in her eye, Oridea asked, "So who's that red knight Emily?"

 

[Boy Wonder]

"Uh, we better get moving" Alex said, quickly nervous.
"What?" Fern asked.
"Come on" Alex said as he dashed around a corner.
"Wait for me!" Fern shouted as she ran after him.

WB! AGH!

They arrived at the tournament area. Fern was out of breath. She twitched her skirts irritably. She hated skirts. She'd rather be wearing her pants her father let her wear while they were traveling. At least then her legs wouldn't get tangled in her bulky skirts. She ran her hand through her hair trying to get the tangles loose that running had done. She felt Alex watching her and looked up, "Let's go find a seat."

Alex followed her as she picked her way through the stands until she came to an empty space. She settled down looking around at the crowd while Alex sat next to her. He watched her as she scanned the crowd. She smiled at him meeting his eyes, "Do you always run from girls?"

Alex frowned, "No it's just that I- No, I don't run from girls."

Fern nodded thoughtfully, "I thought all the girls would be after you."

Alex felt his face heat and changed the subject, "Do you like tournaments?"

Fern frowned slightly shaking her head, "No, not really."

"Then why did you have to get here?"

She gave him a shy smile and watched her feet swing as she thought. She sat quiet a moment before she spoke, "My father sent me to find out what the people wanted. He's a merchant."

"Oh, are you going to the ball?"

Fern blinked, "No, why would I?"

"I just thought you'd be going."

She smiled gently, "I am neither the daughter of a knight nor noble born. I am the daughter of a merchant. That is all."

sorry it took so long, boy wonder, i got depressed half-way through. :o

 

[Boy Wonder]

"Ah, well... You could... Oh, never mind..." Alex stuttered.
"What?" Fern asked, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, as long as you go with the son of a knight or a noble born..." Alex explained.
"Oh, I see" Fern said, smiling.
"The 2ed half of archery is starting" Alex said, looking on to the arena.
"Oh, really?" Fern asked looking that way also, but keeping an eye on him.

The two knights started, and the blue/green knight won.

Outta ideas except this really weird plot twist LoL

 

[Calenlanthir]

I'll say! Just one thing, the jousting wasn't until AFTER the ball. I just thought I'd point that out to you.

WB!

 

[Apelila]

Oridea
"Well, my father had a ball two months ago and he was there. He asked me to dance 10 times. And kept on watching me. He even sent me a few letters" replied Emily blushing.
"He is so cute!"

 

[Blessed-one]

hi Calenlanthir, just wondering what this story's leading to, i suppose we need to somehow get Jack and diamond into the story... is there gonna be an adventure or something?
----
"Oh!" Oridea's eyes twinkled.
"That's romantic!" Kala whispered, then she flared suddenly, "One point!" she exclaimed, "Llian lost by one point! How could he??"
Emily giggled and Oridea patted Kala on the back, "So our Llian isn't invincible afterall uh?"

Fern sat in silence. Waiting. Alex remained silent. Sighing, Fern rose, smoothing her skirt. Alex blinked looking up at her, "Where're you going?"

Fern looking down at him, "I've finished what I've come here for. My father wants me back now."

She started along the bletchers and got to the steps. Alex rose and followed her, "When will I see you again?"

Fern paused, "Probably never."

She started down the stairs again and Alex followed closely and grabbed her wrist stopping her, "Wait..."

~~~~~~~~~
take it away wonder boy, i've gotta go.

 

[Boy Wonder]

"Wait..." Alex, said.
Sighing Fern asked, "What is it?"
"I... Uh... I want to see you again..." Alex said.
"What?" Fern said, with a kind of flicker in her eye.
"I said... I wanna see you again... Where is your dad’s shop? We can meet there later..." Alex said, smiling.
"Oh, uh... You can just follow me..." Said Fern.
