Fiona Coyne walked over to where Peter Stone, her boyfriend, Riley Stavros's, best friend stood. He was talking to his friends Danny Van Zandt and Sav Bhandari. She assumed they were talking about their band.

She walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder. "Peter? Can I talk to you for a minute, it's about Riley." The dark haired beauty said and shot him a smile. Peter nodded and Sav and Danny walked off.

"What's up?" Peter asked once his friends were gone and clearly out of earshot.

"Is Riley -I don't really know how to say this- gay?" She asked, whispering the last word.

Peter stared at her with wide eyes. How'd she figure it out? He'd known Riley was gay ever since he kissed him at his house, but they hadn't told anyone else. And judging by the fact that Fiona was asking him about his friend's sexuality, meant that he hadn't told her, but she was definitely suspicious.

"Why do you ask?" Peter asked, hoping to by himself a little more time. He didn't want to out his friend to someone that might tell the whole school about him, even though he didn't think Fiona was like that. She seemed… different.

"I just… if he IS I don't want to be his beard, you know? And I wouldn't out him, I actually want to help him. I know this guy, Zane, and I think they'd be really good together. You know if was IS… like that."

To say Peter was shocked was putting it mildly. He was completely flabbergasted. Fiona wanted to HELP Riley come out AND already had a potential boyfriend for him? This girl was good. But he still had some doubts, even though at this point he was pretty sure he had already blown his friend's cover.

"How do I know I can trust you?" He asked, giving her a distrustful look.

"My cousin, Andrew, is gay. I saw how much it hurt him to not be honest with all of the people he loved about his sexuality. I don't want Riley to go through the same thing Andy did. Okay?"

Peter sighed. He could tell Fiona was telling the truth. "Okay, he is… like that. But how are we going to get him to admit it? He probably won't even admit it to you."

"I know. Which is why I'm going to tell him that I think we should break up because we're better off as friends. And then, a couple weeks later, I'm going to introduce him to Zane. It won't be in a this-is-a-potential-boyfriend for you kind of way either. Just a friend kind of way. And then, hopefully, things naturally progress from there."

Peter was actually impressed. This girl seemed to know what she was doing. That just left him one question. "Okay, it seems like you've got this all figured out. What do you need me for?"

Fiona looked at him for a minute before responding. "You know Riley's gay, like he's actually told you. I know he's gay because I figured it out and you confirmed it. I can't talk to him about his sexuality or his -possible- feelings for Zane when the time comes or coming out, but YOU can. You can show him that nobody will treat him differently."

Peter was a little skeptical. Riley didn't like talking about the whole "gay" thing with anybody, even him, and he talked to Peter about almost anything. "I don't know Fiona…" He said, his voice trailing off.

She grabbed her hand and looked up with him, a pleading look in her eyes. "Please Peter. I know I might sound a little nuts with this plan, helping someone 'come out' and everything, but I really think this could work. And, we could do a good thing for Riley and possibly Zane too. Just, please?"

And just like that, she'd won. Peter had looked into her blue eyes once and he was sold, even though he wished he had more strength than that when a pretty girl was by him. He really needed to work on that. "Fine. But this better work."

Fiona smiled and nodded. "Thank you, you're awesome Peter!" She said and walked away to get to class. Peter's eyes following her until she was out of sight.

So… I'm probably discontinuing "Love in the City". I've kinda lost interest in it. I'm sorry to everyone that really liked it. I'm leaving it open for anyone to take, just PM me if you want it.

ANYWAYS, this fic is inspired by YourScu's AMAZING Peter/Fiona vid on YouTube. It made me like the couple. The plot? Came out of nowhere. But I totally think Fiona's the kind of girl that would do this. It's sort of AU because (obviously) none of this happened the way it did on the show. Sorry if the characters are OOC too. This is my first time writing for Peter (and Riley and Zane when it gets to that point) and I think Fiona is a very complex character. So, we'll see how this goes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi if I did, the events of "99 Problems Part 1" wouldn't have happened and Zane and Riley would still be together (I don't know if they got back together in Part 2) and there would be lots of kissing scenes with them! =D
