"Alright, let us go wait for Zoe to come back from...whatever it is she does after school." Jon said, grabbing the bookmark and heading for Zoe's room.
"Right!" Karyn replied as she half walked half crawled after him.
"Er...Jon"
"What?"
"I'm not sure I can fit through the door.."
Jon groaned.
After several minutes of Karyn's struggling and twisting, and not to mention largely ineffective tugging on Jon's part, she finally crashed through the frame of the door. Jon screamed shrilly as he narrowly avoided being crushed under Karyn's weight. She had smashed the door frame where her shoulders had forced their way out.
"Mother is going to kill me..."
Twenty minutes (and another damaged door) later, Jon and Karyn finally heard the front door open, followed by footsteps leading up to Zoe's room. A few moments later, Zoe entered, seemingly oblivious to the damage Karyn had inflicted. She did, however, notice a hunched over twelve foot tall troll standing in her room.
She opened her mouth to scream, but Jon reached up from behind her and clamped a hand over her mouth. Unfortunately, Jon was currently a five foot tall ninety pound elven princess, so Zoe was able to easily over power him and begin a run for it.
"Zoe, wait! It is me!" Jon called.
Jon felt a huge wave of relief when she stopped.
"Who are you? What the hell's going on here? What the hell is that?"
Karyn bristled at being called a "that". "'Ey!" She exclaimed. Zoe cringed backwards.
"No! We will not hurt you Zoe." Jon tried to calm her down.
"How do you know my name?"
"It is me. Allaria." Oh crap, Jon thought.
"Are you insane? What are you talking about?"
"I am sorry. Give me a moment to try something. Please bear with me." Jon walked over to Zoe's desk and grabbed paper and a pencil. I hope this works.
Jon's attempt to write his name ended with the words "I am Princess Allaria" recorded on the sheet in elegant and feminine cursive.
"Damn it." How can I possibly tell Zoe that it's me and Karyn when neither of us can say eachother's real names? Jon groaned again in disgust.
