Author's Note: Hi there! Erm... well this is a little awkward, isn't it? This is my first fanfic for House of Anubis, and I hope you like it. I came up with this one day when I realised just how much of the friendships are neglected here in , and I just wanted to have a series of one-shots that described the friendships between everyone in Anubis House... There will be some romance, but the focus is on friendships. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter One: Patricia and Joy

Patricia and Joy were a match made in heaven, when it came to best friends. Sure, they were different, what with Patricia being somewhat edgier to Joy's happy-go-lucky demeanour, but it was because of their differences that they were best mates.

It was by sheer coincidence that they happened to arrive at Anubis House at pretty much the same time, with Patricia arriving just a few minutes after Joy when they first met, aged eleven. Patricia and Joy both remembered that fateful day.

Joy and Patricia's parents had just left Anubis house with hurried hugs, and promises of telephone calls as soon as they got back. Patricia, being the bolder one, grinned at Joy.

"I'm Patricia. What's your name?" Joy blinked as she realised that the other girl was talking to her. She was definitely missing her parents, and was worried about whether she would make any friends here. Plus, the housekeeper Victor looked really unfriendly and mean.

"Joy. So... I guess we're going to be housemates then."At that moment, Victor came in and looked at the girls.

"You're the new girls then? You'll be staying in a room together upstairs. All students must be in their rooms by nine o'clock, and by ten all the lights must be off and I want to hear a pin drop." Victor said menacingly. Then he turned around and gestured for them to enter into the living room, before walking in himself.

"He looks like a goblin." Patricia whispered to Joy. Joy giggled. She knew that she had met her best friends already.

From then on, Joy and Patricia were linked together, arm in arm as much as possible. Whether they were at school or at Anubis House, they spent almost all their time together. They were the closest of friends within a few weeks, and there was hardly anything that ever spurred an argument between them. In fact, there were only one thing that they disagreed about.

Twilight.

Twilight was never a problem between the two girls at first, seeing as they were only eleven when they first met at Anubis house. But that Christmas, when Patricia and Joy were thirteen, Patricia, seeing that some of the other girls from the other houses had talked about something called Twilight, decided to get a copy of the book for Joy, hoping that by introducing her to Twilight she would finally be able to get her to watch some of the more gory movies that were about vampires. Of course, at that time she hadn't realized it was a love story, otherwise she wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot long pole. However, Patricia had only heard snippets of the conversation that the girls had held and anyway, how bad could a story about vampires be? It was better than getting her a rom-com, because most likely Joy had already watched the one she would get.

Patricia severely regretted what she had said about vampires later on. Joy had positively squealed when she saw the book, which was a good thing but confused Patricia...until she realised it was a love story. A bloody love story, and not just any love story, but one about vampires. Usually, Patricia would have simply let it go, but within two days, Joy had finished the book and was begging Patricia to read it.

"I'm not reading that book! It's a bloody love story, Joy, a love story, and you know I don't do that kind of books." Patricia said adamantly.

"Oh, come on Trixie! It's about vampires anyway, and aren't you always bugging me to watch movies about vampires anyways? Come on, read it and then afterwards we can watch the movie!"Joy replied.

"I said no."

"You gave it to me for my christmas present anyway, so it's only fair that you read it. I want to talk about how cute Edward and Bella are together, anyways."

"Joy, no meant no."

"I'll let you watch that movie you've been nagging at me to watch for ages if you read it." There was a long silence as Joy looked at Patricia expectantly, while Patricia pretended to think about it.

"You'll hate it though. It's about zombies." Patricia smirked as she said this. Joy had had a rather unfortunate experience with Alfie and Jerome when she first came to Anubis House along with Patricia, and she hadn't been very fond of zombies ever since.

"I'll watch it. But you have to read the book."

"Deal."

Of course, Patricia being Patricia, hated the book. The second she finished the book, Patricia went up to Joy and said,

"Oh gods, I feel so bad now. I should have never gotten you that present. It's horrible! Bella's so whiny and honestly, sparkly vampires? I swear, Joy, I'll get you a new present..." she was cut off by Joy, who looked very shocked at her best friend's response.

"Wait, you didn't like it?

"Bella's so whiny, and what was it with Edward and his family's sparkly vampire thing? Vampires are not supposed to sparkle in the sun. They are meant to burn! Burn! God, they so messed up vampires. Not only that, Edward acts like such an idiot throughout the whole thing, and it was so bloody obvious that they were vampires from the start..."

That conversation ended with Joy refusing to talk to Patricia unless she would read the rest of the series AND watch the movies coming up.

Despite that, they still got along most of the time, and eventually most of the other members of Anubis simply decided that it would be best to just steer the two girls away from any mention of the word Twilight, though Joy would still force Patricia into reading the books and going to the movies because at the end of the day, she did promise, didn't she?

Author's afterthoughts: Hm... I'm not sure I liked the way it turned out. I mean, most of the story just centers around some Twilight bashing, and I wanted to add more of the friendship into it. Anyways, I hope you liked this one-shot. Please suggest what friendship I should do next. I'm starting with the obvious, but I want to do the less obvious ones later on because I think it'll be funny (I've actually thought of a Fabian and Jerome friendship that I find pretty funny, and I've come up with a reason why Jerome hates Mick as much as he does) I'm not going to beg for reviews, but I hope for some. Be harsh, I need the opinions.
