A/N: Hey! I'm not a stranger to this site, I've been reading on it anonymously for a year, and finally decided to make an account! I posted a tiny drabble a couple days ago which I accidentally labelled 'prologue' when really, it was just a stand-alone.

SO, yeah...hope you like this!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own House of Anubis.

Alfie burst into the apartment that wasn't his in wild excitement. Eddie paused the game on TV and looked up to see the dark-skinned boy. He almost groaned- Alfie and he were great friends, but sometimes, he could be the most annoying person ever, and Eddie strongly regretted giving him the spare key to his and Fabian's shared apartment. In all truthfulness, he had given the key to Jerome, but Alfie lived with him, and had obviously snatched it off of Jerome.

The worst thing about Alfie occurred as of two months ago- he got a girlfriend. It was a shock to everyone, for Fabian, Jerome, and Eddie were still single, and Alfie of all people got a girlfriend?

Unfair.

The guys had all met her once- Piper Williamson. And that just left Jerome, Fabian, and Eddie even more confused…how had smart, sensible, Piper, practical, sometimes stern, Piper date crazy, fun, prank pulling Alfie Lewis? How she even tolerated Alfie Lewis was the real question.

So, as Eddie paused the game, he thought this over. Alfie was probably here to brag, something that had become one of his favorite past times now that he actually had a proper girlfriend. He liked flaunting it in their faces- jokingly, of course, because that was Alfie's nature- but every joke reminded them they weren't like Alfie was, in love and on cloud nine.

Again, this was just unfair.

"Dude, are you okay?" Alfie waved his hand in Eddie's face, and the blonde snapped back to reality. "You spaced out."

"Sorry," Eddie nodded. "What'd you come for?" It might've sounded rude- but that was Eddie, and each one of the boys had gotten used to it after being friends with him for several years.

"Okay," Alfie jumped up and grinned. "So, guess what? Piper has a twin!" Alfie waited for a bigger reaction than a blank stare- maybe Eddie would stand up and jump too, maybe he'd let out a long whoa, maybe he'd even let his eyes widen perhaps? But he didn't do any of that, so Alfie took it upon himself to elaborate, "Completely identical!"

"So?" Eddie shrugged. Alfie sighed, knowing the reaction he expected would never come.

"So, Piper wants to come over with her for a proper dinner and all that."

"I still don't see how this concerns me."

"I want to use your apartment, man! Mine is so messy," he groaned. "And since Fabian's this super neat freak, I was just wondering if Jerome, Piper, her twin, and I could all come over for dinner tomorrow night?"

Eddie shrugged again, "Sure. Just ask Fabian."

"Okay, where is he?"

"FABIAN!" Eddie yelled, and Fabian rushed out of his room in a panic. His eyes darted for something dangerous, but his eyes locked on Alfie, and he let his shoulders go slack.

"Do you really have to yell?" Fabian groaned. "I get scared to death, every time!"

"Good to know," Alfie said quickly. "So, listen, we're friends right? Like best friends, like closer than-"

"What do you want, Alfie?" Fabian interrupted, sitting next to Eddie. Alfie looked at him with pleading puppy eyes, "Can I please use your apartment? See, Piper has a twin, so her twin and she are coming over to have dinner with Jerome and me. But our apartment is way too messy, so I was wondering if we could have dinner here with you guys."

"Sure," Fabian laughed at Alfie's pleads. "We were just planning to order pizza, is that okay?"

"That's perfect!" Alfie's face broke out into a smile as he sat down next to Fabian and gave him a one armed bro hug. "I knew you'd come through for me!"

Fabian smiled, "So, Piper has a twin?" He had really liked Piper- not in the way Alfie did, just on an intellectual level. The girl was a musical genius, and Fabian was happily surprised to talk about Beethoven with someone, since Eddie was completely uninterested in any classical music whatsoever.

"Yeah," Alfie nodded eagerly. "I think her name's Patricia or something."

"Are they alike?"

Alfie shrugged, "I dunno. Guess we'll find out tomorrow night." He made no move to get up, and the three sat in silence before Jerome burst in as well.

"Oh, yay, it's a party," Eddie commented drily. Jerome sighed as he spotted Alfie, "Dude, where were you?"

"Here!" Alfie beamed. "Guess what? They let me keep the dinner here!" Jerome rolled his eyes. Piper was really boring, in his opinion, based on the time before when he had met her- Alfie had insisted she was 'just shy', but Jerome doubted it. No one could be that shy and be dating Alfie.

"I really don't want to meet her twin," Jerome groaned.

"I told you she's shy!" Alfie's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. Jerome didn't even bat an eye at his comment.

"I found Piper to be very nice," Fabian interjected.

"Ooh," Jerome's eyes widened playfully. "Looks like Fabian's out to get your girlfriend!" Alfie gasped loudly and turned to glare at Fabian, who raised his hand in surrender.

"I think Jerry's right," Eddie shrugged. "She was kind of mellow, I guess." Jerome high fived Eddie in agreement.

"You all are just jealous because you don't have girlfriends!" Alfie got up and stamped his foot indignantly. Fabian slowly sat him back down, and then faced Jerome and Eddie, "You don't even know the girl. Stop stereotyping Patricia."

"So her name's Patricia?" Jerome's head lolled back. "Patricia and Piper- even their names are similar. Can't wait to meet them."

And if looks could kill, Alfie's uncharacteristic glare would have sent Jerome to the coffin.
