D/A - I do not own House of Anubis. I mean if I did do you think Nina and Amber would've left?!

Chapter 1 - Rise and Shine Superstar!

Nina's POV

"There was a guy who went to a zoo. The only animal they had was a dog. He retold the story saying "It was a Shitzu!" Jerome told us while we were stuffing ourselves with Trudy's meal. Me, Alphie and Eddie cracked up; spitting food everywhere, understanding the double meaning, tears beginning to sprout up from our eyes.

"That was such an original joke." Patricia spat as she continued to eat. I looked around the table still clutching my stomach and spurting laughs to see the rest looking blankly at us. I get Amber, she's a little ditzy, Fabian and Mara book nerds but Joy? She was usually the one to make everyone understand and make the whole gang laugh! I saw her sigh under her breath and look dimly out the window, completely blanking all of us at the dinner table. I knew that look. She was missing something. Her hand steadily held a for that scraped back and forth on the white plate - moving the few pieces of lettuce around in circles.

Everyone was eating heartily - it was the start of a new school year after all! Finally an awaited meal from Trudy! She had cooked her famous Bolognese and her chocolate cake for dessert. Everyone was happy; smiling faces and a bubbly atmosphere. What was wrong with Joy?

I opened my mouth to speak, when a curious chime sprang out. Everyone stopped and stared at Joy, the source of the noise, who was fumbling about in her pocket. She brought out her phone and her eyes scanned whatever was written on the screen.

Anyone could've noticed the change that message had. She sat up straighter, a huge smile plastered on her face and her eyes smiling with happiness, her mouth shaped in a small 'O'. I wonder what it was...

Joy pulled back her chair, excused herself from the table and literally skipped out and up the stairs with everyone looking behind her confused.

"What was that all about?" Eddie asked. A few murmurs went around the table - with Alphie's familiar Alien talk and Patricia's theory about her Dad coming to see her. Besides her strange behaviour, Joy never skipped! I was about to comment when my leg vibrated, making me have a mini spaz attack, attracting the attention of others. Damn phones! I slyly took out my phone and saw a text from Joy - she wanted me upstairs.

"I'll be back, I just need to.. do something." I told them uncertainly. They all looked at me with amused expressions at my lying skills but continued back with their conversation topic: Joy. Gladly they didn't want to know more! I put my phone away as I made my way up the wooden stairs silently. It couldn't be about...

All to soon I arrived at her bedroom door she shared with Mara and Patricia. I knocked on her door - using our secret knock as she indicated in her text. Triple knock, flat tap, knock. As soon as I finished I was pulled into the room quickly much to my surprise and saw a hyper Joy jumping up and down on the spot.

"Guess what Nines!" She screamed using my old nickname. I sighed, how many times did I need to tell her?

"It's Nina or Neens! And what? Your a secret Unicorn who fights crime?" I told her mocking fake excitement, playing along to our old game.

"Nines you already know I'm a Unicorn!" She teasingly replied still using my previous nickname. I give up! I don't think she'll ever use my new names.

"What then?" I asked her. I actually do want to know - I haven't seen her this hyped up since.. Well never mind.

"Were back together! They put us back in! Were going back to the X Off!" Joy yelled. Were what...?

"No way!" I told her.

"It's true! They made a mistake with the votes! Were back in! We have to call the others!" She ran towards the landline phone downstairs but I pulled her back by the collar. This can't be true!

"Let. ME. Go!" Joy complained.

"I thought we were going to give up that dream? We kept it under wraps here and you want to jump back in? After what we've been through?" I explained to her. If you knew the real Joy, you'd know she's a child at heart. Her childish ways and looks, you get used to it easily! After all, Joy was devastated when we didn't get in. Last time I saw that was when her first boyfriend cheated on her, in FRONT of her. I taught that jerk a few things about punch lines.

"But Nines.. We've always wanted this! Too bad we haven't practised in forever! I've missed this SO much! With your amazing voice and my epic drumming skills we'll be back in business! Rise and shine superstar! It's time to show the real you." She grinned widely at me before using my thinking time as an advantage and raced downstairs to the phone.

I reached out to grab her, but being Joy, she slipped through my fingers. She knew all my tricks. We have been Best Friends For Life's since forever!

It would be brilliant to go, it's what we always wished for as kids. To be famous, to perform. But to always stay together. No matter what. If she's ready to go back, I am too. Were stuck like glue and nothing can break us apart.

I guess were going back.

Back to our old dream.

And I'm surprisingly happy about it.


A/N - Hey guys! I'm baaaaack! :D If you haven't been told, I'm going to start a series called The Life Of A Hidden The first one in these series is called Life Of A Hidden Model. No, you don't have to read them in order since there completely different stories. They will make sense on there own! They do not continue off each other.

All of them will focus on Nina and all of them will contain the ORIGNAL HoA cast except Mick. The pairings will vary, but Eddie and Nina will probably be main. Hopefully that won't stop you reading!

On some of these stories, I will ask for own characters. So if you do have a character, PM me!

What did you think of the first chapter? ;)
And do any of you know the site Wattpad?
