Hey guys! This is my first Fanfic, so try not to be too harsh with the flames if you hate it so much. But if you LIKE it, please review! This takes place RIGHT after Nina and Fabian get elected Prom King and Queen.

(And sorry it's kinda short. I'll try and make it longer if people think I should have another chapter!)

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Waking Up

~Nina's POV~

I was dancing with Fabian, his arms around my waist, and my hands at the back of his neck. I was blushing like crazy, partially because I had just been elected Prom Queen, and partially because I was dancing on stage with the Prom King. Fabian Rutter.

"Well, that was embarrassing," I said.

"Yeah ... Very," Fabian added, just as embarrassed as me.

He looked at me for a second. "Nina, you look-" he started, but I interrupted.

"I look ridiculous," I added, rolling my eyes and tossing my messy dirty blonde hair over my shoulder.

Fabian looked into my eyes. "I was going to say beautiful," he whispered.

I couldn't believe it. I stared at him, blinking in disbelief that he had just said that. He said I was beautiful. Me.

"So, are you going to tell me what happened?" Fabian asked.

I was still stunned by his compliment. "Did you just call me beautiful?"

He stared down at his feet, then returned his gaze to mine. "Yeah."

I gave him a small laugh, and blushed some more. To make the scene even more embarrassing, there was a slow song playing. Great. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Alfie tapping Amber to get her attention. They both looked at me and Fabian.

I returned my eyes to Fabian. He got an excited look to his eyes and asked, "So why did you go back down to the cellar?"

I shook my head at him and he gave me a confused smile. I was finally going to do it. I was going to do what everyone at the house had hoped we would do from the moment they realized we liked each other. I felt courage stir inside of me, and I said my best line yet, "All that can wait. This can't."

I closed my eyes, and leaned toward Fabian. He met me in the middle, and then we kissed in front of the entire student body.

Of course, since all of Anubis House expected us to kiss eventually, so they started the cheering that ran through the crowd. Whistles and squeals from the girls reached my ears, and lots of clapping that was almost deafening.

I broke away from Fabian to look at them. I was as red as a tomato. At the edge of my vision, I saw Fabian's eyes still closed and his lips half-parted. I don't think he realized I had stopped kissing him.

We both started laughing, my hands fell off of his neck and down his tuxedo front. I locked eyes with Amber, who just smiled at me and I grinned back. The music changed to an upbeat song, the name I couldn't remember, and my best friend turned to dance with her date, Alfie.

I turned toward Fabian once more, and put my hands round his neck again. He smiled and curled his arms around my waist.

About twenty minutes later, the time spent swaying and talking, I asked, "Do you think we can get off of the stage now?"

Fabian chuckled, and he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Let's just go now. It's weird being up here so long."

I unhooked my arms from around his neck and he took his hands from around my waist. He grabbed my hand and we walked offstage to meet our excited house. It was hard to tell who was talking at me or Fabian, since everyone exclaimed their happiness that Fabian and I were finally a couple.

Amber squealed: "I am so happy! You two kissed! And it was so romantic and perfect! Eeep!"

Alfie applauded: "Nice job, Fabian! It was about time you kissed her!"

Mara was ecstatic: "Alfie, Nina kissed Fabian, not the other way around. Besides that, I am just as happy as Amber right now!"

Patricia smirked: "Yeah, about time, too. It took long enough!"

Jerome announced: "You owe me ten, Mick!"

I stared at him. "You two bet we would get together?"

Jerome smiled smugly. "I bet that you and Fabian would get together at the Prom, and Mick bet that Fabian would pluck up the courage to ask you out before Prom. So I win."

Patricia smacked him on the shoulder, but she didn't seem too mad that Mick and Jerome had bet on me and Fabian's relationship.

I rolled my eyes at the Jerome, but Fabian squeezed my hand. We started walking across the grass toward Anubis House. By the sound of grass being rustled, I could tell the other members of the house were following.

Fabian took me up to my room and at the door, he pulled me into a hug. His voice whispered in my ear, "Nina, what did you say . . . down in the cellar . . . when, we were putting the cup back together?"

I knew exactly what he was talking about. When he told everyone he had thrown away the real elixir, that Rufus Zeno wasn't really immortal, and that one of the Seven Acolytes (meaning everyone in the house) was not going to die. In the heat of the moment, I had exclaimed that I loved Fabian and then hugged him.

"Um, what do you mean?" Playing dumb may just tell me if he loved me as much as I loved him.

"I-" Fabian started. Then he pulled away from me, his hands on my shoulders. When I looked into those brown eyes, I swear I saw tinges of the hurt he felt. But his smile deceived any of the feelings he showed in his eyes. "Never mind."

"Fabe, wait." I grabbed his hand as he started walking away. He turned to look at me. "You know I can tell when your feelings are hurt. I'm one of your closest friends."

He looked down, his face red. "I just, wanted to know what you said. I mean, if it was what I thought you said, I mean . . . um . . ." Fabian kept stumbling over his words and I finally put a finger to his lips.

"Relax," I said. I removed my finger and took his hand. "I said, 'I love you,' right? Well, I do."

His expression instantly brightened. "Y-You do?" I nodded. "Nina, I love you."

My face formed a soft smile. "I love you, too, Fabe."

And he gave me one of those cheesy-yet-romantic goodnight kisses. It was slow, sweet, and gentle.

As soon as he pulled away, I smiled and said, "Good night, Fabian."

"Good night, Nina." I opened the door, and stepped inside me and Amber's room. Fabian gave my hand one last squeeze before it slipped through my grasp.

I got ready for bed, then heard Amber talking from outside the door. She said, "Thanks Alfie. I did not want to be stuck in bed during Prom! You helped me get out of bed and into my beautiful dress, so, thank you!" I heard Alfie sigh, and knew Amber had kissed him.

Amber waltzed into our room, and before the door shut, I saw Alfie staring dreamily at her. She got into a pair of pink pajamas, and snuggled under the covers with her pink sleeping mask covering her eyes.

"I had the absolute best time at Prom. Alfie is so sweet! I have no idea why I spent all of my time going after Mick," she scoffed. "I must have been delusional or something, because Alfie is funny, cute, smart-" Amber sat up for a minute, putting a finger to her chin in deep thought, "-well, he's a little smart. Smarter than Mick, I think. And he is just . . . Ahhh." Amber sighed heavily and fell back against the mound of pillows that took up much of her bed.

I smiled. "Glad you had fun, Ambs. See you in the morning."

"Nins, shopping tomorrow, okay?" she asked.

I was glad Amber couldn't see me rolling my eyes, but I did sigh a little. "Okay, Amber. Night."

"Night."

In a few minutes, I heard Amber's breathing deepen, so I knew she was asleep. I laid in my bed, and my eyes started to feel heavy. I knew sleep was on the way. I was about to succumb to dreamland when a soft vibration from my bedside table jolted me awake. I looked at my phone sitting there, and it said: 1 New Msg, so I opened the phone. It was Fabian.

Hey, r u up?

I replied, Yep. Y r u?

Can't sleep.

Want to come up into the attic? I asked.

I could just imagine Fabe shaking his head. Nins, just go 2 sleep. I may b able 2 knowing that ur ok.

I smiled, and felt so unworthy. Fabian was so sweet. I did not deserve him. Thx. I don't deserve som1 as gr8 as u.

I'm the lucky 1, he replied.

A second later. I love u, Nina.

I love u 2, Fabian, I replied.

I slid my phone shut and laid my head down once more. I fell into a calm sleep, knowing Fabian loved me and that everything would be okay.

The next morning, I woke up in my bed, with no Amber searching for clothes in her closet, no smell of Trudy cooking breakfast, no birds chirping outside. I heard the traffic zoom by on a three-lane road, passerby chatting, and the smell of lilac around me.

I opened my eyes. And found myself in my old room in America.

Ok that was Chapter 1. Please review! And if you hate it and/or think its awful, just tell me. Thanks! (:
