It's... sort of set after Season one but Eddie is there so... yeah... not too many references to Season Two. It's like the mystery hasn't started yet or something. Just read it!

My first Peddie fanfiction. Enjoy, Peddians! After it all, it might have a happy ending! The poem at the beginning is for... well, just keep reading.

Just Step Away

There's nothing left to say
So why don't you just step away?

Don't think of runnin' after me
Your face is one I don't want to see

I don't care what's in your head
or what was in the books you read

I don't want to know what could have been
Because this will never happen again

I'll be like stone
I'll be alone

If you won't, I'll go
Out into the snow

At least I can try
So you won't see me cry

Chapter One, Christmas Break.

Patricia

"No way," I said.

"Come on, it'll be fun!" he begged.

I looked at him doubtfully. "Christmas break. In the snowiest part of the country."

"You're just too wimpy to come." Eddie announced.

"Am not!" I protested and stood up.

"Then come with us!" he said.

"Us?" I asked.

"Fabian, Nina, Jerome, and Mara. Alfie didn't want to because Amber wouldn't and Joy is mad because she said she'd go somewhere else. Please Patricia? It'll be great!" Eddie tried once again to convince me.

"But really. Scotland?" I was still dubious.

"Come on, don't crush the tin can." he said.

I smiled at his blond hair. Wait, why on earth would I be smiling at his blonde hair? "Alright, alright, I'll come!"

"Hah! I knew I could convince you!" He triumphantly swaggered away.

I frowned. Scotland?

*.*

"This is so not funny," I growled.

The cab driver looked back at us. "Sorry mates, we're going to have to go the long way around."

A massive snow drift had piled up in front of us. I cursed under my breath. Why, oh why? I was cold, even in the car. Luckily enough the taxi driver was english so Nina wasn't gawking at his Scottish accent yet.

"That warm cabin will just seem all the warmer after a long wait!" Jerome said mockingly.

"Hey, how was I supposed to know this would happen?" Eddie asked angrily.

"Okay, just calm down guys. We still haven't figured out who takes which rooms in the cabin." Nina said, trying to divert their attention. I gave her the thumbs up behind Eddie's back one he had turned.

"But how can we discuss that when we haven't even gotten there yet, genius?" Jerome scowled.

"Blueprints!" Fabian handed out the blueprints of the building.

Mara finally stared out of her book. "Wow. Look at all the different types of wildlife and plants around here! It's a totally different ecosystem." she announced in amazement.

Fabian smiled. "Yeah, it's pretty cool how it can change that quick."

Jerome was busy planning pranks over the blueprints.

Nina sighed. She had probably been hoping to withhold that information for as long as possible.

*.*

"Ahrg!" I screamed as my foot slipped on the thick sheet of shining ice.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

Why did he have to catch me?

I could almost hear Amber saying, "Awkward."

"Wow," he said.

I looked up; maybe the cold would help cover for the fact my face was burning.

He actually wasn't looking at me. He was looking up at the cabin.

I quickly pulled myself up. Ohh, I was going to have to buy a really thick black sweater soon, unfortunately. Somehow my casual shirt with lace over the arms just wasn't keeping me toasty warm. But maybe I could make do?

Wow. That actually was pretty cool.

"Whoa," Mara said.

Fabian and Nina both had a slightly distrustful expressions on their faces. I guessed they were hoping their vacation wasn't going to turn into yet another mystery.

Jerome rubbed his hands gleefully.

Looking back at the first day of our vacation, I wish I had turned away from the squat log cabin with all the lights out and ivy growing all over it.

I didn't know Fabian and Nina were going to get their mystery after all.

Hmmm! Please review! If I get 3-5 reviews I will update!
