It had been the perfect night- well almost perfect. Nina had nearly been forced into the Underworld with Senkhara, and Joy nearly died, but Nina and Fabian had decided to try out their relationship again.

They danced and shared a kiss when suddenly the whole house had run into the entryway and everyone took part a group hug. Fabian had noticed Mick wasn't there, though, so he slipped away as Amber was screaming at Nina about Fabina being back on again.

Nina had been ushered upstairs to her and Amber's room. She cast a sideways glance as she was herded upstairs at Fabian and he shrugged. He knew he'd probably be hearing something about Nina and him from the guys, so he could feel her pain.

Fabian reentered the common room to search for Mick, but the only students he saw were Patricia and Eddie slow dancing on the dance floor.

Jasper stopped Fabian to briefly say goodbye before he headed to the library to move the boxes of artifacts. Fabian checked the kitchen and surprisingly, Mick wasn't there, either. Only one place left to check- his and Mick's old room.

Fabian cracked open the door and heard soft sobbing. "Mick?" he asked. The sobbing halted and Fabian heard a faint "Yeah?"

He slowly pushed open the door to see Mick sitting on his bed with his face in his hands.

"What's wrong mate?" Fabian asked, plopping down on the bed next to him.

"Mara." He sighed. "She snogged Jerome even when I came all the way from Australia to visit her. We weren't even broken up, I was going to go dance with her and then the weasel just had to ruin it with the kiss. When he asked Mara to date him, she said yes."

Fabian frowned. He hated seeing Mick so upset, Mick had helped him out when he was having troubles with asking Nina out, but he felt anything he said could not ease Mick's pain.

"She's not worth it. I'm sorry she did that to you."

"Yeah." Mick took a deep breath in and out. "I need a distraction- tell me about something."

"What?" Fabian asked.

"How about you tell me about you and Nina. Amber calls you guys Fabina, right?" he smirked.

Fabian smiled, Mick wasn't completely crushed if he could manage to talk about Fabian's love life. "Let's see- I'll tell you the story of Nina's Gran's attempt to make me a poet. I think you were just about to leave so I wasn't able to tell you…"

Nina's POV

"I need to know exactly what happened and yay Fabina it's just so exciting!" Amber gushed as soon as Nina had been forced into their room and the door had been shut.

"Amber, Amber. Get a grip on yourself. Calm down." Nina replied slowly and cautiously.

Amber took a couple of quick breaths and said "Okay, I'm ready!" She sat down next to Nina on her bed ready to hear every single detail.

"After you had forced me downstairs and left, My Perfect Day started playing." Nina paused and Amber grinned, so Nina could safely assume Amber was behind the song choice.

"We danced, of course. It was amazing. Then he got a little serious and said we had got it all wrong when we broke up. I was so glad he felt the same way as me." Nina concluded, smiling as she thought about what had just happened less than an hour ago.

"Well don't just leave off there, there's obviously more you're not saying." Amber frowned, desperate for more information.

"He called me his Chosen One, and we kissed."

"HE WHAT? THIS IS SO GREAT FABINA FOREVER!" Amber shouted.

"This is why I don't tell you this kind of stuff; you get all worked up about it."

"It needs to get worked up about, Nina! This is important! You being American makes things so difficult sometimes." Amber said, getting up to leave. "I have to go plan a quadruple date now- you and Fabian, Alfie and me, Patricia and Eddie, Jerome and Mara. I'll go grab Alfie and talk to him about it- see you later!"

Amber rushed off to go plan some extravagant date. Nina smiled- Amber was crazy but she was her best friend and she really did mean well.

Fabian's POV

Fabian just finished telling Mick about Nina's gran and the poem. He was cracking up, and Fabian was glad that even in his sadness Mick was still able to have a sense of humor.

Mick stopped laughing to look over at the clock- it was nearly midnight but Victor hadn't yelled at anyone yet since he was distracted with the party. Mick's eyes widened.

"Oh great I forgot my dad said he was going to get me at midnight. We're staying in a hotel not too far from here for a few weeks but he's still keeping me under a curfew. Catch ya later, lover boy." Mick said, standing up and ruffling Fabian's hair.

Fabian grinned and Mick walked out of the room. He got up from his bed and decided to pay Nina a visit before he turned in for the night.

Fabian made his way upstairs and knocked on Nina's door. "Come in!" she exclaimed.

He opened the door and smiled at Nina. She stood up from her bed and engulfed him in a huge hug. He returned the hug with just as much strength.

"How was Amber?" Fabian inquired after they hugged and were both relaxing on Nina's bed. Nina groaned. "She's planning a quadruple date; she had to rush off to go tell Alfie about her genius plan."

Fabian laughed, Amber would do something like that. "I was thinking… want to go into town tomorrow? Catch a movie or go out for a bite to eat?" he asked.

Nina smiled. "I'd love that." Without hesitating she kissed Fabian. He kissed her back and she almost anticipated Amber running into the room at that instant. Thankfully, she didn't, so Nina and Fabian continued to kiss for a few more minutes.

"I kind of love you, Fabian Rutter." Nina said when they pulled apart.

"I kind of love you too, Nina Martin." Fabian replied. They both smiled and sat there smiling and blushing at each other until they heard Victor warn that everyone should be in bed in five minutes.

"I guess that's my cue." Fabian said, moving towards the door. He paused and returned to Nina for a moment. "Goodnight." He kissed the top of her head and headed downstairs.

Nina felt like she was floating – Fabian was absolutely amazing and she knew she was lucky to have him.

That night, Nina fell asleep feeling happy and safe. Senkhara was gone and she had a fantastic boyfriend. Best of all, Gran was okay.
