It was another beautiful Saturday morning. The sun was shinning and the Sibuna's were walking down to the clearing in the woods. They had their jackets on and the wind in their faces. Nina, Fabian, Amber, Alfie, Patricia, and Eddie walked down with a basket of food and a Sick Puppies CD.
"Ok Eddie," Amber said with much enthusiasm, "repeat after me. I Edison Sweet,"
"I Edison Sweet," Eddie said with much less enthusiasm as Amber.
"Being of sounds and minds, promise to protect the secrets of Anubis House," Amber stated.
"Being of sounds and minds, promise to protect the secrets of Anubis House," Eddie repeated.
"And stand by my fellow club members Amber Millington, Patricia Williamson, Nina Martin, Fabian Rutter, and Alfie Lewis," Amber said looking at each person as she said their name.
"And stand by my fellow club members Amber Millington, Patricia Williamson, Nina Martin, Fabian Rutter, and Alfie Lewis." Eddie reluctantly repeated.
"Ok!" Amber started "Now throw the CD into the fire."
"What!" Eddie said with alarm.
"Just do it," Patricia said with a sigh.
"Fine!" and Eddie reluctantly threw the CD into the fire. "Happy now," Eddie said with a smirk.
"Yes! Now its time for the fun part!" Amber said with a squeal and a jump.
Everyone else just groaned. Now that Eddie was in Sibuna Amber had decided that it was time for a triple date. This time Patricia wouldn't be left out and Fabina was official. Amber made sure to give Alfie a talk before so there would be nothing mentioned about the "buddy bench." With a little to much delight Amber with the help of Alfie spread out the blanket as Nina, Fabian, Patricia and Eddie got the food from the basket. Then the 6 sat down. Nina with Fabian, Patricia with Eddie and Amber with Alfie.
"Ok guys," Eddie started, "I want to know everything that happened last year."
"Let's see," Nina started, "Joy disappeared the exact same day that I showed up and wasn't very thrilled about it and wasn't very nice about it either."
"Ok, so she treats all he newbies with hate? I though it was just me," Eddie said with a smile towards his girlfriend.
"Ya I guess so," Nina said also smiling at Patricia. "So back last year. So there was this old lady whose name was Sarah and she gave me this locket," Nina said pulling the locket out. "It does all sorts of crazy things like opens doors in the house, it completed he Cup of Ankh…"
"Wait what's the Cup of Ankh" Eddie interrupted once again.
"Well you didn't let me get there," Nina said with a frown.
"It's a cup that we had to find all the puzzle pieces for last year and only on a certain day at a certain time every 25 years the Chosen One can put it together," Fabian said helping his frustrated girlfriend.
"And Nina is the Chosen One right?" Eddie asked with uncertainty,
"Yes but the reason Joy was 'kidnapped' was because she was believed to be the Chosen One." Fabian explained.
"And why did they think it was Joy?" Eddie questioned.
"Ugh," Fabian sighed getting tired of all the questions, "Joy's birthday is July 7th and she was born at 7 p.m., but Nina's birthday is also July 7th but she was born at 7 a.m. which is the true chosen time. That just means that they had the wrong girl all along."
"Wow. Who would of though that 2 girls born on the same day would meet up and one would be born at 7 in the morning and the other would be born 12 hours later," Eddie said somewhat amazed.
"Well who would of thought that the Chosen One and the Osirian would both be American and meet in England," Alfie said, "In the words of the great Jerome Clarke 'It would be the American wouldn't it'," that got a laugh out of everyone except Eddie who sat there with a confused look on his face.
"What?" Eddie asked trying to get what was so funny.
"You had to be there," Alfie replied.
"Whatever, so what else did I miss."
"Well I think you should know that the last Chosen one was Sarah and the last Osirian was Rufus."
"RUFUS!" everyone screamed.
"Ya did I forget to mention that," Nina said sheepishly.
"Ah, YA!" Eddie said not looking happy.
"Well on the bright side we all know what we have to make sure Eddie doesn't do," Nina said trying to lighten the mood.
"Ya turn in to a power hungry monster that kidnaps people and threatens others," Alfie said looking angrily and Nina.
"Well what did I do?" Nina said trying to look innocent.
"Ok let's just forget about that and go back to last year," Eddie said still trying to calm down thinking about what would happen if he did end up like Rufus. Patricia put her hand on his and he looked right in to her bright blue-green eyes.
"Its ok. You are nothing like Rufus. Nothing will go wrong."
"Thanks Yacker," Eddie said with a smirk before kissing her on the cheek. "SNAPP!" Patricia laughed as she saw Amber with her camera as usual.
"What did you seriously think that I wouldn't believe I wouldn't bring my camera on a triple date?" Amber said.
"She has a point," Alfie said trying to defend his girlfriend.
"Well why does she need pictures to start with?" Eddie asked very confused.
"Well you see," Patricia started not sounding very happy, "Miss Millington over here has a scrapbook for every couple in the house and I guess she's getting started on ours."
"Great," Eddie said dripping with sarcasm, "that's all we need, a book full of pink and pictures of us. How many do you and Nina have Rutter?"
"I have no clue," Fabian said not sounding very confident.
"Oh, they have three," Amber spoke up.
"THREE!" Nina and Fabian said at the same time.
"Ya even when you two were apart I took lots of pictures."
"Why?" Nina asked
"Because you to are so cute together," Amber said squealing at the same time.
"Whatever," Nina said trying to change the subject.
"Ok, well I think its time that we play a game," Amber announced.
"Ok, what game," Nina said with a sigh.
"How about Truth or Dare."
"Ok fine," Nina replied with a reluctant tone.
