A/N: Okay, so here's a new Fic from me. This one is about a task Mr Winker sets the students.

Couples Start as:

JeromexPatricia

MickxMara

FabianxNina

EddiexAmber

BUT THEY WILL CHANGE! TRUST ME!

Eddie is the new person who is (very likely) in season 2 of House of Anubis. I came up with his last name, since I didn't know his.

Alright, here it is!

Then Comes The Marriage. . .

Chapter 1

The Assignment

Amber wasn't really listening to what Mr Winkler was saying. I mean, so what if he was a little cute? It wasn't like she listened much anyway.

"And maybe it would help you all to get along. Any questions?"

She jolted back into attention. What had he been saying?

"Erm, Mr Winkler," Amber put up her hand, "What was that again?"

Her boyfriend Eddie smiled. Amber was such an airhead. But, she was pretty. And Eddie liked pretty girls.

Mr Winkler sighed.

"Amber, weren't you listening? I said that we are going to do a little 'exercise' for two months, in which you will pretend to be married to someone. The girls will pick a boys name out of a hat, and whoever that is, you will be married to," he explained.

"Ooh, I get it Mr W. So, when will we pick?"

"Now, actually. Can all the girls get in a line please?"

Amelia Pinches raced to the front of the line, hoping to get Alfie's name. Sadly (for her at least), she got a boy called Dayton Wood. Alfie sighed in relief.

Nina was up next, and she was hoping to get a certain someone.

"Fabian Rutter," she exclaimed with a grin.

Fabian smiled hugely.

Next was Patricia.

"Eddie Conway," she said with disappointment. Eddie, even though he was dating Amber, had been pestering for her to go out with him. Eddie grinned until Amber turned around in the line.

Mara was after Patricia. She was hoping for Mick, as they were still dating.

"And I've got. . . Jerome Clarke?" she frowned. Jerome smirked. He knew Mara wasn't really a big fan of him, and this would be a chance to annoy her. Plus, he did still have a tiny crush on her, even though he was dating Patricia.

Amber grinned as she stepped up. The remaining boys were okay, Mick, Alfie, and some others from different houses.

"Alfie Lewis."

She grinned brightly at Alfie, which got him a death glare from Eddie.

Finally it was Joy, who was upset that Nina had Fabian. She grabbed a name out of the hat.

"Mick Campbell."

Joy didn't mind Mick. They hadn't really talked much, and they were hoping to keep it that way.

"Alright, now it's time to pick your jobs," Mr Winkler explained, passing another hat around, this time with job names in. Jerome put his hand inside.

"Shopkeeper."

Mara put her hand in next, as she was now sitting next to her 'husband'.

"Author."

That made Mara grin. She'd wanted to be an author when she was younger.

Nina was up next.

"Teacher."

"Doctor." That was Fabian.

Mick put his hand in, hoping to be an athlete.

"Dustbin man?"

Joy stuck her hand in. Nothing seemed to be going right for her. I mean, her husband was a dustbin man!

"Archaeologist."

Patricia and Eddie were on the desk next to them, so they put their hands in next.

"Businesswoman," Patricia read out.

Eddie looked at his slip of paper.

"Architect."

Alfie grinned as he stuck his hand in.

"Singer. Well, I'd better get practicing then!" he said, striking a pose. The whole class grimaced at the thought of him singing.

"And I'm a. . . Housewife?" Amber frowned, "Hey, Mr Winker, what's a housewife?"

"It's a wife who stays at home and does the cooking and cleaning," Mr Winker explained.

"Oh. Okay. One problem. I can't cook!"

"And that's why our teachers will give you a helping hand. Now, Amelia?"

Amelia stuck her hand in. She was a swimsuit model.

"Okay, you have each been assigned a cottage to live in. . ."

"WAIT! I have to live with him?" Patricia screeched.

"Don't worry, you'll have seperate rooms," Patricia sighed in relief and allowed Mr Winkler to continue.

"Anyway, I have assigned each boy a cottage, where he will live with his 'wife'. Boys, come up now to collect your key and cottage name."

"16, Daisy Cottage," Fabian smiled.

"18, Willow Cottage," Jerome said.

"20, Ivy Cottage," Eddie said.

"22, Marigold Cottage," Mick smirked.

"24, Lily Cottage," Alfie said, "Hey, we're neighbours!"

"Very good Alfie," Mr Winkler sighed slightly, "All your cottages are on North Street, which you should all know where they are," The class nodded, "Good. Now, pack your stuff, settle in, and come back next lesson for a surprise."

The class filed out as the bell rung.

"Eddie," Amber grabbed his arm.

"Yeah Ambs?" he asked.

"I think. . . since we're going to be apart. . . we should break up."

"What? Why?"

"It's hard, I know, but trust me, it's for the best."

"Okay," Eddie blinked away the tears that were coming. He cared for Amber, he did, but he'd always known that there was no spark.

"Bye, boo," Amber said that word to him for the very last time.

"Bye, Amber."

Meanwhile, Jerome and Patricia were having troubles.

"How are we gonna be together if you're 'married' to Mara?" Patricia asked him angrily.

"I don't know. I mean, we've only been dating for a few days, and. . ."

"So you want to break up," Patricia said forcefully.

"No! No, I mean. .. well, yeah, kinda."

"But why?" Patricia tried not to cry, she never cried, but she hadn't had a proper relationship in ages, and she felt lonely. A few tears fell from her eyes.

"I don't know. Maybe it's for the best."

"Maybe."

Jerome hugged Patricia close to his chest.

"It's okay, we're still friends. It's better that way. Besides," he said, "You've got Eddie for a 'husband'," he joked.

"Great," Patricia grinned, wiping the tears away.

"Now go," Jerome smiled.

"You want me to leave?"

"No, it's just, right now you look like a panda."

Patricia grinned and hugged Jerome once more, before running to the bathroom to fix her mascara.

Married life was not going to be easy. . .
