Chapter 1

Erzsebet and Felix sat in the kitchen of her apartment, sipping cheap champagne and listening to Madonna.

"I mean," Erzsebet continued after a sip of her drink "is there something wrong with me?"

"No sweetie," Felix crooned "there is not one thing wrong with you. That man has something wrong with him. I mean, what man wouldn't want to sleep with you? What straight man, anyway"

"I just keep wondering if I did something. I mean, I'm not some kind of nymphomaniac, but it's normal to want to have sex with your boyfriend, right?"

"Honey, I have, like, always said that there was something weird about Roderich. I'm glad that you left him before you found out that he masturbates to sheet music or something"

"No! He's a really nice guy, he is. We're gonna stay friends and everything. I just…" she trailed off.

Erzsebet had moved in a week prior, but thanks to diligence and help from friends, she was almost entirely unpacked. A few cook books still lay in a half open box by her book shelf and some crappy gay romance novels had yet to be liberated from their box. The walls smelled of new paint.

A kitchen timer shaped like a chicken buzzed shrilly and Erzsabet popped up and hurried over to the oven.

"Have I mentioned that I want to bear your children?" Felix remarked as she withdrew a quiche from the oven.

Erzsabet smiled.

"I mean seriously, your cooking is like, better than sex. I am so ready to leave Toris and marry that quiche," he drained his glass.

"Hit me baby"

"We're gonna be smashed by the time Toris gets here if we keep going on like this," Liz chided, without feeling.

"Fuck," she groaned "gotta get started on the lobster boats"

She turned to the cutting board and started shelling a lobster tail.

"If Toris doesn't get here soon, I am like, totally, going to eat that quiche myself,"

"Shut up and make yourself useful setting the table," she teased.

Erszabet finished cooking, and in moments, there was a knock on the door.

"Speak of the devil,"

"Coming," called Felix, and he darted to the door.

Toris appeared at the door looking windswept and tired, muttering about Saturday parent functions.

Felix pecked him on the mouth and told him to take off his coat and sit his sweet ass down for dinner.

Toris sighed and did as he was told.

"That smells good Lizzy," he said.

"Thanks babe, I made it special"

"So," announced Felix when they were all seated and the food beaconed invitingly from the center of the table.

"A toast, to Lizzy, for leaving that looser: Now I get to bug her more!" They laughed and clinked glasses, Liz a little bitterly.

"So," said Toris, a piece of tomato dangling from his fork "how's work?"

"It's good," Liz said, "chef is being less of a bitch, and my class is doing really well. They're doing the most beautiful chocolate work,"

"I'm so happy for you," Felix squealed. 'The last bunch were, like totally brats, weren't they?"

"Oh god yes!" Liz exclaimed, swallowing a bite of spicy lobster. "Toris, how's principle Varges treating you?"

"Mr. Varges is… himself," tori answered diplomatically,

"So bat shit?"

"Erm, yes?" the remark was followed by the raucous laughter of the slightly drunk.

Dinner ended, and the three cleaned up together.

Erzsebet waved them out with many "thank you for coming," and "oh thanks for the meal!" "Do get home safely,"'s.

Liz sat down at her table and pushed her hair back with her fingers, sighing.

Alone again.

She flicked off the lights and crawled into bed.

She was cold and curled up around herself for warmth. She hated sleeping alone.

"It's okay Lizzy," she whispered to herself. "You've been alone before, you'll be fine."

A/N: well that's chapter one! I'll be updating soon. Prussia shows up in chapter three. Please do review, and I hope you liked it!
