A/N Hey guys! This is just a little two-shot I thought up a couple days ago.. :) Hope you all like it and review if you please! xoxo

Fire. You'd always loved it. Not to say that you were a pyromaniac or anything, just there was something about the way that the flames danced every time a gust of wind passed through that fascinated you. The blinding brightness of each individual spark intrigued you. And the fact that that one teeny tiny little ember could cause a whole room to be lit up within seconds captivated you. It was a mystery to you how such a small, seemingly insignificant little flicker of light could spread so quickly.

Cat Valentine was like that little spark. When she first came to Hollywood Arts, nobody really thought much of her. Even the fact that she had bright red hair wasn't quite enough to interest the other students. It was a performing arts school. Everyone was quirky. She was just another girl attending the school in hopes of accomplishing her dream of becoming a professional singer. But as people got to know her, they realized that she was so much more than that.

Her smile was infectious. Her laughter was contagious. Whenever she sang, her voice cast a spell over you, and you just couldn't help but listen. Everybody loved Cat. But especially you.

It didn't take very long for you to realize that you had a crush on the perky redhead. Or for you to admit to her that you liked her as more than a friend. But to your disappointment (and embarrassment), she simply didn't feel the same way. "I'm really sorry, Robbie…" she had whispered sadly when she realized how heartbroken you were. But you had said that it was okay, and that you would get over it eventually, and then had promised to still be her friend. Too bad you still loved her just as much as you did before, if not even more.

But of course Cat didn't know that. It was highly evident that as far as she was concerned, the two of you were no more than best friends. That's why the two of you (three if you included Rex, which you did) were here, at Nozu, eating lunch and talking about your plans for the remainder of the weekend.

"Have you heard about that new horror movie with the girl from The Thirsty Games? Home at the Beginning of the Road?" you asked her.

The petite girl sitting next to you nodded her head quickly, a small smile on her face. "It looks really scary though..." she muttered sheepishly.

You let out a slight chuckle, and then a light bulb went off in your head. "Well, would you like to come see it with me tomorrow? You can hold my hand if you get too scared," you suggested hopefully.

A small smile broke through her previously worried facial expression. "That would be nice," she finally responded, lips forming into a toothy grin.

"Well played, Rob!" Rex applauded teasingly.

You were about to scold him, when Mrs. Lee appeared. "Is there anything else I can get for the lovely young couple?" she asked, looking towards you. At the last part, Cat's eyes doubled in size, and she half-gagged/half-giggled at the Asian woman's comment.

"We're…we're not dating," you corrected her quickly, even though on the inside, you didn't want to say anything.

"HA! Are you kidding!?" Rex threw in. "She's way outta this loser's league!"

Mrs. Lee seemed taken aback over the fact that a puppet was mocking his owner. She awkwardly handed you the check, then scurried off to the kitchen, probably to see how the squid-chopping was going.

After she left, Cat didn't seem in a very talkative mood, so you excused yourself to the restroom, taking Rex with you. Luckily there was no one in there, because you were about to have a very stern talk with your puppet. "Rex," you began firmly. "I am sick and tired of you talking badly about me. Your teasing is absolutely disrespectful and uncalled for, especially when it involves Cat." Rex just stared back at you, his facial expression blank. Rude!

You quickly realized that nothing you said would be able to get through to him, so you gave up, setting him on the floor as you went to wash your hands. You hadn't even gone to the bathroom. You hadn't needed to. Your hands were just messy from the sushi, and your mom had once told you when you were little that no girls liked guys who didn't wash their hands.

Is it getting hotter in here? you thought to yourself. But you shrugged it off. You had probably just gotten overly worked up when yelling at Rex.

Your thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a high-pitched scream coming from outside of the bathroom. Cat's scream. You immediately sprinted to the doors, hurriedly drying your hands on your jeans, heart beating a mile a minute.

You flung open the metal door to reveal flames. Everywhere. The whole restaurant was covered in shades of red, orange, and yellow. "CAT!" you yelled frantically, trying your best to dodge the blazes, but failing miserably. All of your limbs were in excruciating pain, sweat was quickly forming on your forehead, and you were already choking on the thick, black smoke. "CAT!" you called for your friend again, panicking even more when you didn't receive an answer. What if she was already dead? Don't think like that! you internally screamed at yourself, even though you were almost sure it was true. Who could possibly survive in a fire as big as this?

Then you remembered… Rex was still in the bathroom! Who were you supposed to save!?

A/N Dun dun duuuun. Lol. So who do you think Robbie will choose to save? I'm sure it's kinda obvious, but I feel like this would've been a really hard choice for Robbie, considering that he loves both of them very much. Leave a review telling me what you think will happen. :) xoxo
