1 week before…
"Keefe!" Biana yelped as Keefe swung her over his shoulder and started running away to talk about a plan for Base Quest. It was couple vs. couple.
Sophie and Fitz were seeking first. They made the Panakes tree their base.
"Should we read Keefe's mind and find what they are planning?" Fitz asked teasingly.
"His plan probably consists of him flying and shooting gulons out of hands." Sophie joked.
"That's odd…" Fitz said, reaching up and putting his hand on her face.
"What?" Sophie said now self-conscious.
"You're blushing!" Fitz laughed.
"Not funny." She said silently hoping she was not as red as a tomato. Fitz leaned down and kissed Sophie on the cheek. So much for hope.
"Umm. Thanks." She said not having the courage to ask for any more. Sophie had a mega crush on Fitz, he was the cutest boy in the whole Elvin World. With dark hair and those gorgeous teal eyes. The eyes that studied her response closely.
"You remember when we were like fourteen and sixteen, and you won that contest to find more things that related to the Neverseen in Keefe's room?" Fitz said.
Sophie knew where this was going, "Yeah, I do."
"And we made a deal that if you did not use the privilege in a month it was mine?" Fitz raised a joking eyebrow.
"Maybe." Was the only word that Sophie could think of. Her mind was racing:
Could she tell him? What would he say? Would-
Her thoughts were broken when Fitz continued, "And when I said that I wanted to know the secret that you have kept. But, Keefe interrupted. TWICE!"
"Keefe is going to be Keefe." Sophie squeaked.
"Well, I want to know now. What is your secret Sophie?" Fitz asked, locking his eyes to hers. She had to tell him.
"Fitz there is a reason I have been reluctant to tell you," Sophie said taking a few deep breaths.
"Whatever it is, I can take it." Fitz winked.
"Fitz, I like-" Sophie started but Keefe yelled, "We WIN."
