Hey! Audrey here with the first installment of our new story! This started with, "Liz, I'm bored. Lets make up a story." It was originally about a carrot/granola bar named Alfred, two grapes named Monica and Georgina, a coconut named Jaque, a pineapple named Nico and a lime named Maragrita. It took place in Colorado, and a Steak 'N Shake in Paris. It got so entertaining that we decided to actually tweak it up a bit and make it a legal fanfiction. So... Happy reading!

"I'm gonna get banana ice cream." Caitlyn said as she and Nate walked hand in hand to the ice cream parlor.

"Why?" Nate looked puzzled. Caitlyn usually stayed safe with chocolate or vanilla. Occasionally she went for a more dangerous swirl. But she'd never tried anything other than that in all the time Nate had known her.

"Because Alex looked like a banana and hated them. I'm going to live in all things banana for a few days." Alex was Caitlyn's ex-boyfriend who had humiliated her the night before at a party with old photos of them when they were dating. He wanted her back but Caitlyn was beyond over him.

Nate laughed. "Okay, then. I'll get banana too."

Caitlyn smiled, her smile not quite touching her eyes for some reason, and squeezed his hand.

As they sat down to eat their ice cream they heard a laugh behind them.

"Caitlyn? Nate?!" It was Sander.

"Yeah?" Caitlyn remembered him. Her old friend from camp.

"I never thought I'd see you two together!" He remarked.

Caitlyn's brow furrowed, but Sander continued.

"You're just total opposites! Like so opposite you'd repel each other. Caitlyn you're so… you! And Nate you're so… quiet! How does that work? Nate, how do you get Caitlyn to shut up?! Are you out of your minds?!!" He went on laughing.

Caitlyn frowned. She'd forgotten that about Sander. He always said way too much. But this time, it really hit a nerve. She didn't know why, but she let it get to her.

"Excuse me?" Caitlyn asked in a cold voice.

"Oh, Cait, it's the truth! You'll never work out!"

Caitlyn was furious. How dare he say that!

But it was kind of true… Caitlyn could be bossy, and Nate was so sweet. They probably wouldn't work out in the long run. Caitlyn had thought about it before. They didn't match up. But, still, for Sander to say that…

"I'll give it a few weeks." Sander said, betting his friend at his table how long Caitlyn and Nate would last.

Caitlyn was on the verge of tears.

"Nate… I, I, I…" She started.

"Sh, Caitlyn, don't listen to him." He tried to take her arm, but she shook him off.

"He's right…" She choked out.

Nate made a hurt face. Caitlyn turned and took off running, leaving her banana ice cream behind.

"I take that back," Sander said to his friend, "a few minutes."

…………………………………………………………………………………

Nate had given her about an hour before he showed up at her apartment with her frozen banana ice cream (he'd stuck it in his freezer for a bit before he came over). He knocked on the door.

"Caity? I want to talk to you."

"Just forget it!" She yelled from somewhere far away from the door.

Nate twisted the door handle. It wasn't locked. Just like Caitlyn to forget something like that.

He made his way back to her room where he found her, sitting on her bed, her eyes dry, but tell-tale mascara smears on her cheeks from crying.

"I'm not going to just forget it. I want to know why you let him get to you so easy." He said as he sat down next to her. She frowned.

"Because…" Her lower lip trembled a little.

"Because?" Nate encouraged.

"Because I'd been thinking the same thing earlier!" She yelled, her voice cracking and tears welling up in her eyes.

A look of hurt flashed in Nate's eyes. "…Really?" He asked in a quiet voice.

"Yes!" Caitlyn said shrilly and turned to hide her face in her pillow. "Yes! You're just so nice and sweet and quiet and I'm so loud and obnoxious and different! And, God, I love you so much but I just… I just don't see how we can keep this up!" Her voice was muffled by the pillow but Nate could hear her loud and clear.

"Caity…" He trailed off.

Caitlyn sat up with a tear-stained face. "Really, I'm sorry… but I just can't do this." She sniffled.

"Okay…" Dazed, Nate walked out of the room.

Nate was sure he and Caitlyn would last forever. How could it have ended so fast?

I was sad that I made Sander mean, but I had to. And I know Caitlyn seems a bit out of character, but it's for the best. If you liked this PLEASE stay tuned for more because trust me- there is SO MUCH more to come and it'll be action-packed. I really hope you liked that!
