Chapter 1: Welcome back

Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis, but if I did, this would be season 4

Finally the new school year had begun and the residents of Anubis house looked forward to whatever adventures awaited them this their final year. Fabian and Eddie were the first two to arrive seeing as they had shared a cab from the train station.

They grabbed their things and headed straight away to Anubis house to get settled in and wait for the other Anubis residents to arrive. Once they had their bags in the room they would be sharing this year, they headed back out to the main hall to see who would be next to arrive. Within fifteen minutes the next arrival entered Anubis house and Eddie was excited to say the least to see her. "Hey yacker" he greeted. Before she could say anything her lips were caught up in his.

Only moments later he would learn the error of his ways as the true yacker came in and interrupted their moment. "Seriously, we haven't seen each other in two months and already you're kissing my sister" She almost shouted at him. "Patricia, I can explain" he got out before she cut him off. "Yeah, yeah, we look alike, you thought she was me, don't ever do it again" she said finishing with a stern look on her face.

Just then Joy and Jerome walked through the door. The four already in the hall greeted them in the normal fashion until all had been greeted. Then it was Joy who brought up the elephant in the room.

"So Piper, what brings you to Anubis house" She queried. "Well, there's an interesting story behind that" Piper answered. Almost as if on cue Patricia cut in and informed the group that Piper would be attending here due to the fact that she dropped the music program she was in and their mum decided it would be best for the girls to spend their last year in school together.

"Well, that's great, it's always good to have new faces" Fabian said in a tone that almost seemed too happy that Piper would be living under the same roof as him. Piper acknowledged his comment but then suggested that they should start unpacking and claiming their rooms before they ended up with roommates they couldn't stand.

At this the group went their perspective ways and started getting settled in. Eddie and Fabian went to their room where Eddie closed the door behind he and Fabian. "What are you doing?" Fabian asked. "Ok dude, I just have one question to ask you, do you have a thing for Piper?" Eddie asked Fabian. "What do you mean?" Fabian asked in response. "oh come on, like no one could see you like Piper, I think I can get Patricia to set ya'll up" Eddie said in his ever cocky manner.

Then Eddie thought for a bit and said "But didn't you have a thing for Mara at the end of last year?" "What are you talking about?" said Fabian. "Oh come on, you're gonna tell me that wasn't flirting you were doing with her when you said you couldn't see her with a guy who didn't know pi to at least five decimal points" Eddie countered. "I was just making an observation" Fabian countered back. "Right, and then you didn't quote pi to five decimal points" Eddie retorted "Alright fine, I may have had a thing for Mara, but we soon realized it was all just part of me getting over Nina and her being vulnerable after breaking up with Jerome" Fabian shot back. "Ok," Eddie said, "but I still think you have a thing for Piper."

Fabian wanting to get out of this uncomfortable conversation suggested that they head back out to see the rest of the Anubis residents had arrived. Eddie agreed only to appease Fabian knowing that he might be able to get the truth out of him later about him and Piper. They headed back out to the main hall to find that all except one Anubis resident had arrived. Piper who had just shown up saw that one was missing and asked "Where's Mara?" Already knowing the answer, Fabian chimed in that Mara wouldn't be attending this year as her parents had enrolled her in a school closer to their residence so she could be back everyday to take care of Letdown.

"Oh" Piper said, "I thought I might have more than one person I knew very well this year at school." Knowing Piper felt uncomfortable in this environment, it was Fabian who extended an invitation to make her feel more welcome. He recommended they head over to the music room for a little back to school jam session to which she happily agreed.

They prepared to head out the door and over to the school as Victor exited his office instantly asking where they thought they were going. Fabian explained that he was taking Piper to the school to give her a tour before classes started. Victor simply waved them off and instructed them to be back before lights out.

Knowing they had his permission they headed out the door off to the music room. Surprisingly it didn't take long for the whispers to begin as Patricia gave Eddie a knowing look. They then headed over to the common room where the conversation started between the two.

"So do you think Fabian likes my sister?" Patricia began. "I couldn't see why not" Eddie responded, "they have so much in common." "Well, it's good to see he's moved on from Nina" Patricia continued. "Yeah, I was starting to get tired of him pining over her last year" Eddie replied. "I wonder what ever happened between him and Mara last year" Patricia said to Eddie. Eddie knew this was his cue to spill all he knew being Fabian's roommate so with Patricia he had no choice but to betray him in a sense. "Well, he told me he was flirting with her at the end of last year, but it was a result of him getting over Nina and her being vulnerable after breaking up with Jerome" Eddie answered.

Patricia just couldn't help herself, she had to see what Fabian and her sister were up to, but she wasn't going down alone. She grabbed Eddie and led him out the main door so they could spy on Fabian and Piper. Luckily they made it out under Victor's radar so spying on these two should easy.

They quickly made their way to the music room which wasn't much of a surprise, but what they heard next was a surprise to them all.

Ok, there's chapter 1. Ok, so I had to make it a cliff hanger, but I think you'll understand why when I write chapter 2. Let me know what you think good or bad. BTW I am not British so if I make any British references and they are not correct I encourage those from the UK to correct me.
