This is my first B99 fic and my first Soulmate AU (lots of first!). I'm a sucker for a Soulmate story (and timers). I'm so stressed out by this story for some reason. That's why I posted such a short chapter lol. Let me know if you think I should continue. I have pretty much the whole story mapped out.

Jake, Sophia, Amy, and Teddy were having dinner at an inn in Vermont. Jake and Amy were supposed to pick up a criminal in a prison nearby the following day and they both decided to invite their significant other.

Teddy and Amy had been together for about a month now and Amy was debating whether or not to get a timer. Teddy already had one with dashes, which meant his soulmate didn't have one yet. Amy was not sure if she was his though. As much as she liked Teddy, she kept thinking about Jake who told her twice now, that he liked her "romantic-stylez".

Jake and Sophia had been together for a shorter amount of time but they were both quite happy. Jake, like Amy, didn't have a timer but Sophia had one with dashed just like Teddy. Jake really thought Sophia was the one for him and was waiting for the right time to get a timer and see if they were soulmates.

Dinner was going pretty smoothly and they started talking about soulmates and timers. Some people didn't want them because they felt like they didn't have a choice on who they should marry. Sophia who noticed Amy wasn't wearing one asked her if that was the case for her.

"I don't know, really. I guess it scares me a little," she answered truthfully.

"But, Teddy has one, don't you wanna know if you guys are going to make it?" Sophia insisted.

Amy was squirming in her chair, visibly uncomfortable. Teddy looked at her at that point and decided to join in on the conversation.

"I think Amy is a little confused and if you ask me, I think it's because of you Jake," he said.

"What now?" Jake turned from Teddy to Amy to Sophia. He had no idea what was going on.

"Because of how you told her you liked her before you went undercover" Teddy continued.

"You liked Amy?" Sophia intervened.

"I did, but that was many moons ago." Jake said while looking at Sophia "I mean that stuff is in the past!"

"Is it?" Teddy said "Because I think that's the reason Amy is "confused". I think she liked you back."

"Did you?" Jake turned to Amy.

"Maybe. Yes. A little. I mean, I was confused" she stammered.

"You know what, this is officially too much for me, so I'm gonna go upstairs," Sophia said while leaving the table.

Jake looked at Amy and Teddy one last time and left the table. He wanted to follow Sophia to their room and talk to her. After all, this meant nothing. Sure, maybe Amy felt something at the time but that was just because he told her he liked her and they are very good friends. If she had really felt something for him she would have broken up with Teddy.

Jake arrived in their room but Sophia was nowhere in sight. She was already gone. Probably back to her place. That's when he decided that after work tomorrow, he would go and get a timer to show her that there's nothing between him and Amy and she's the one he loves. Love? He doesn't know yet. The timer will let him know soon enough anyway.
