A/N: I understand that I've got numerous stories in the making at this point, and the last thing you want to see is another one with a few chapters, but I just couldn't get this one out of my brain. Thanks DannyFan! I got this idea from DannyFan's story, "Me and the Blue Eyed Butler" (Which is amazing! Go read it!) By the way, all of the things about me, are completely made up for the purpose of the story. Had to be more interesting, didn't I? :)

Disclaimer: I do not own The Nanny, or any of its characters. Nor do I own Last Chance Harvey and/or Kate Walker and Harvey Shine.

Combining Lives

Chapter 1

I sighed deeply as I raised my hand to the door and knocked. I can't believe I'm actually doing this... The real people who live here are probably going to have me arrested, or worse, kill me. Myself and my friend, whom we'll call Harvey simply for fun purposes and because this is in fact the internet where you need to be careful, were playing truth or dare together one day. Both of us being fans of "The Nanny", he dared me to knock on the door of the 'Sheffield' residence in New York. I, being the mature one between the two of us quickly denied.

"What do you think'll happen?" I asked him, shrugging, "Niles will answer the door? I mean, seriously?"

"Hey!" He protested, "What if he did? You'd probably be star struck and hit on him!"

"Would not!" I yelled back, "Besides, we both know he doesn't belong with me."

Harvey, a new "Nanny" fan, crunched his eyebrows. "Who does he belong with?"

"Uh... CC?"

"CC?" He exclaimed, "No way! They hate each other!"

I nodded eagerly, "Yes way! Oh," It immediately dawned on me why he was so confused, "I forgot you haven't made it to season three yet!"

"What happens in season three?" He questioned.

"Not telling." And I crossed my arms, to show him I was serious. "But let's just say that when Max and Fran are out... Niles and CC get a little more... Friendly."

I was brought out of my memory by the white door in front of me opening. "May I help you?" I was asked.

When I looked up I was... shocked. "He-he-hello." I stuttered. There was... well, Niles... in the flesh, talking to me.

He smiled, and I understood what CC saw in him. "Hi."

"Um..." I needed a plan, and I needed one quick! What I didn't know, was how to think of one. Suddenly, as if I was in a movie, everything froze, and a remote dropped into my hand. The remote was black, with all kinds of buttons on it, along with a little screen. On the screen was a 'Guide' to working the remote. I read it carefully.

Welcome to the TV Remote Instructional Booklet!

The Power Button (o)

The Power Button turns the TV Remote on and off.

The Rewind Button

The Rewind Button Rewinds what just happened.

The Fast Forward Button

The Fast Forward Button fast forwards what is happening.

The Pause Button ||

The Pause Button pauses what is happening.

The Play Button

The Play Button resumes play after using one of the above buttons.

The Item Button

The Item Button will give you a selection of items when pressed, and you select the item you wish to have from the list, or use the Speaker function to get an item not on the list.

The Options Button

If stuck, the Options Button will give you a few choices of what to say or do. You may also use this button on other characters for insignificant actions.

The Memory Button

The Memory Button will give the person you wish a certain memory. This can be whatever you'd like, just make sure you speak clearly into the microphone when telling the memory.

Hmm... This remote could definitely come in handy! Quickly, I selected the Options Button, needing something to say to Niles. The screen lit up with suggestions, but I had already thought of one. I pressed the memory button, and spoke into the microphone. Then, I pressed play.

"Hi. I'm Kate Walker, we met at the Butler Association dinner last month." I mentally patted myself on the back for that one.

Niles looked confused for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. "Yes, yes... What can I do for you?"

Hmm, so the remote really does work... "Yes, well, we're picking a Butler of the Year, and you were nominated. So, I've come to observe your work. Is now a bad time?"

"No, no!" He exclaimed, "Not at all. Please, come in."

I entered the house, smiling. "Could I please speak with your boss?"

"Of course!" He exclaimed, and it seemed like his eyes twinkled at me.

He led me into the office, and I immediately saw CC and Max. "Sir," Niles began, "This is Miss Walker. She's here from the Butler's Association. She needs to speak with you."

"Hello." I told Max, as he stood up and came towards the door to me.

"I'm Maxwell Sheffield, and this is my partner, CC Babcock." As CC stood up to shake my hand, I watched Niles' gaze on her, and the way it changed when she looked towards him.

She shook my hand, and Max and I were off. I asked him a few questions about Niles, such as his salary, what his employment included, the rules for him, his days off, and so on.

Eventually, I asked Maxwell if I could watch Niles in action in the kitchen, to which he readily agreed. Soon after Maxwell left, Niles appeared. "Hello, Miss Walker. I hear you want to see me in my work."

"Yes," I nodded, "And, if I could help?"

Niles nodded, looking at me skeptically. "Of course." Then, he smiled, and we started making a dinner salad.

"If you'd like, you can chop the carrots." He told me.

I nodded, "I think I can handle that." I replied, winking. I know what you're thinking, and no, I wasn't flirting with Niles! However, he is way more attractive here than on TV.

When he wasn't looking, I pulled out my remote and pushed pause. Everything froze. I went through the house, looking for CC. I found her in the living room, in mid-stride. Nodding, I went back to the kitchen, and resumed my place chopping carrots. But not before pressing the Options Button and selecting a certain something for Niles to do. Then, I pressed play.

As I kept chopping the carrots, I sliced my finger. "Ouch!" I exclaimed even though it didn't hurt, because I was in TV, and Niles came over, taking my hand in his, and examining my finger. Exactly what I had planned for him to do. Then, CC came through the door.

I figured I could help her out, I mean, us girls have to stick together, right? And I need to help her with her relationship with Niles.

"Let me help you with that." Niles told me, "I'll be right back, I just have to grab the first aid kit."

I nodded, smiling at him as he left.

"Well," CC sighed, making her presence known, "You sure seem a little smitten."

"Pardon?" I smiled innocently.

CC laughed bitterly, "You can go after him all you want, Miss Walker. He's not going anywhere."

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" I thought she was actually going to reveal her feelings! This was my chance!

And then Niles entered the room. "Here you are, Miss Walker." And quickly bandaged up my finger.

After he finished, our hands were still locked, and he was standing very close to me. I pressed pause with my opposite hand. Slipping out of the corner of the counter Niles had me in, I tried to open the door to the living room when it hit CC right in the side of the face. My eyes going wide, I apologized before I realized that she couldn't hear me. Then, I walked back to my spot in front of Niles, and pressing play.

He stared into my eyes, looking as if he was searching for something. It was almost scary. Eventually, he swallowed. And nervously began, "Would you like to... I, um, I mean... Do you like food?" He laughed, closing his eyes, "What I'm trying to ask you is..."

"I'll meet you here at eight." And I smiled, as did he.
