Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Greek characters…but I do own Chris…and would love to take Cappie off the hands of anyone who's selling

He wasn't sure why he hadn't told anyone anything more about Chris than he had. He certainly wasn't hiding anything, there was nothing to hide...he hadn't told anyone because no one had thought to ask. Why was he worrying about this? It wasn't like he hadn't kept things from people before. Casey…he had defiantly kept things from Casey….like the fact that he loved her more than she could ever know….and Chris. Of everyone, he probably should have told Casey about Chris….

He looked over at his best friend, who was currently singing along to whatever lame 80's song it was that had come over the radio. Typical Chris. Why was Chris coming with him back to Cyprus Rhodes with him now anyway? There had never been an interest to visit him there before, why now? Wasn't the there some huge University somewhere waiting for its genius to return?

"Hey, you alright?" Chris turned off the radio and turned to face him smiling. "You haven't said anything since we the Ohio boarder."

"I'm fine…really." He tried in vain to hide his inner battle from his friend. It was so easy with everyone else, but not with Chris.

"You don't seem fine. Is this the Casey and Rebecca thing again? I told you we'd fix that…I'm here now, everything will work out, I promise." Chris's optimism made Cappie smile as they passed the sign welcoming them to Cyprus Rhodes, and he decided right then not to let the secret bother him anymore, after all everyone would find out eventually anyway…

Casey sat on the bed of her new room in the ZBZ house…alone. It wasn't like she hadn't had here own room before, growing up she had slept alone…apart from the sound of Rusty grinding his teeth from the next room. But now she missed Ashleigh. They'd been roommates since freshman year, and now…the hall really did seem long now. As President she did get the best room in the house, her own bathroom…a full fridge…and no roommate to chat with in the middle of the night. Maybe this was why Franny had lost her mind.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE HERE!!!" Now there was a squeal she recognized.

"Hey BFF! How was your winter break? You didn't run into Travis again since the last time me talked did you?" Casey jumped off her bed and hugged Ashleigh.

"No, but I do need some air." Ashleigh pretended to choke and the two laughed. "Hey lets start this semester off right, none of the other sisters will be here until tomorrow, let's go to Dobbler's!"

Casey pulled away from he friend and went back to sit on the bed. "I don't know…I'd hate to run into a certain ex of mine."

"Which one?" Ashleigh looked slightly put out at the prospect of talking about those two again…

"Evan…Duh." Casey knew she would be going with Ashleigh whether she liked it or not, so without arguing or taking the conversation further she went to one of the many boxes she had yet to unpack and grabbed a coat. "Let's go."

Cappie and Chris walked into Dobbler's shortly after unpacking at the Kappa Tau House and grabbed a table. Cappy's attention was immediately drawn to the blond at the bar while Chris babbled on about something.

"I can't believe you didn't tell Beaver. For two and a half years I've heard everything about these people, and they don't even know the most basic things about me. You're ignoring me again." Chris turned in the seat in the direction Cappie was staring. "So I take it that's her. That's Casey, right?"

"Yea, that's her. My only problem in life…"

Chris laughed. "Trust me pal, that's NOT your only problem in life….we could start with your love for Lyle Lovett songs. "

"I don't love them…I like them…" Cappie looked around hoping nobody heard the content of their conversation.

"Tell it to my stereo, you freak." Chris looked back at Casey. "If you keep staring at her like that she might get some more inspiration to make fun of you."

Cappie turned his stare to Chris instead. 'Even a little information in your hands is dangerous in your hands Chris."

Casey sat at the bar in Dobbler's alone. Ashleigh had been asked to dance by some guy Casey was sure would turn out to be crazy. This had been a fun trip so far, they hadn't been there five minuets when Ashleigh had abandoned her with her lemon drop.

She laid her head on the bar. This was ridicules. Two and a half years, that's how long it had been since she had been on her own. It was amazing to think that within three weeks of coming to school she had met and fell for Cappy, then a few weeks after breaking up with him she had ended up with Evan. Maybe she just needed some time to herself.

"Hi!" Casey jumped at the greeting as girl with long dark brown hair and kind eyes practically threw herself into the seat next to her.

"Hi….Can I help you with something." Casey moved her head, still on the bar, to face the girl.

"No…but maybe I can help you." The girl smiled warmer and more sincere than Casey had seen in anyone but…in a long time. "Your name's Casey, right?"

"How did you know that?"

"Cap talks about you all the time. I just wanted to meet you face to face and tell you that…it's not all your fault."

Casey sat up and fully took in the girl. This wasn't Cappie's usual type. Sure she was pretty, but instead of the usual low cut pants and high cut shirts, she wore a thick practical sweater and dark blue jeans. She also had an air of intelligence about her, like she might study on Friday night. "You know Cappie?"

"In ways you never will…but then again you also know him in ways I sure as hell never will." The girl turned to the bar tender. "Can I have another beer…and send another to the guy I came in with…He'll be mad enough at me when he gets back from the bathroom, I don't need him harp'n because his alcohol has run down…So Casey as I was saying…"

"You seem to have a lot of privileged information…" Who did this girl think she was any way?

"Well, all the guys go to Cappie for help and support. Didn't you ever think that maybe he had someone on the sidelines that he might go to when he's down and out?" The girl took a deep swig of the beer the bartender had just set down. She looked back at Casey again surprised. "Don't tell me he didn't ever tell about his best friend Chris?"

"Of course he did. Chris is his best friend from home. They grew up together. He's at some University think tank working with some world famous physicist."

"Well you got it mostly right" The girl turned on her stool to fully face Casey and held out her hand. "Christina Davidson."

"Christina?" Casey took the hand apprehensively.

"Chris." Christina shrugged the minor clarification.
