Two Princes

By: Riley

Summary – Stephanie and Jo talk about having boyfriends, but having another guy like them as well. Very short one-shot, could be considered a drabble.


"Hey Jo!" Stephanie called as she went into Jo's apartment, closing the door behind her. "Are you here?"

"Yeah, I'm over here!" Jo's voice came from behind the counter. She stood up with a vase before turning to the sink to fill it water. "I was just looking for a vase to put those in." She pointed over her shoulder to a bouquet of flowers that were sitting on the counter.

"Wow, these are really pretty." Stephanie smiled as she sat down at the counter and picked up the bouquet, gently smelling them. She gave Jo a pointed look. "Did James have to apologize for something? Did he forget your date?"

"Not that I'm aware of." Jo laughed as she turned off the water. She turned back around and removed the flowers from the plastic wrapping and stuck it into the water. "But if he does forget our date tonight, you girls will be the first to know." Stephanie laughed along with her. "No, actually…" Jo pushed her hair behind her ears. "Patrick gave these to me after he heard that New Town High got renewed for another season."

"Aww, that's cute!" Stephanie said with a smile.

"Yeah, it is," Jo agreed. "But…to be honest, it's kind of confusing, sometimes. I mean, I'm really into James and I'm sure Patrick is happy with Katie, and don't get me wrong, his crush on me is cute, but sometimes I don't know how to act around him."

"Yeah, I get what you mean," Stephanie said. She gathered her hair in a ponytail and brought it over her shoulder. "Noah's crush on me is cute too, especially since he gives me space when we're with Carlos. And it was really sweet when he told me that he liked me, but didn't do anything about it because of Carlos. I don't want to hurt his feelings with anything I do with Carlos though, even though I know he's into Lizzie."

"Exactly," Jo agreed. She smelled the flowers again. "But they're both so cute. Especially when they're talking about something they're really passionate about or just working on their music."

"Yeah." Stephanie rested her elbows on the counter. "And they can be a lot more mature than Carlos or James. Even though they can be immature as well." She rolled her eyes. "Especially when they're going along with whatever plan the guys have come up with."

Jo nodded. "I'm glad that they can still be our friends though." She slowly smiled. "Though if I wasn't with James…who knows what would have happened."

"Oh, you've thought about it too?" Stephanie laughed. "So've I. Promise not to tell Carlos?"

"As long as you promise not to tell James," Jo agreed.

"Deal."

THE END


A/N: I just wanted to do something that showed the girls' thoughts on Patrick's and Noah's crushes on them since I haven't really done that before. And I wanted to do a bit of Jo and Stephanie friendship, so here you go.

Cheers,
