OMA! I got 12 reviews last chapter. You guys are awesome! Think I can get more this chapter?

Anyways, I've decided that this story will probably be about 5+ chapters, since you guys liked it :)

By the way, please excuse the cheesy title... I cringed while writing it.


The rest of the ride home was silent. Eddie was trying to comprehend what Jerome just told him, and Jerome was just too scared to say any more to him. Once they reached the school campus, Jerome parked the car and the two boys began their silent walk back to their dorm. Jerome's hands were stuffed into the pockets of his jeans and Eddie was kicking rocks that were in his path. They finally reached their dorm. Jerome placed his hand on the light switch, prepared to turn off the lights.

"Jerome, wait," Eddie said as he sat down on his bed.

Jerome froze and slowly turned around to face Eddie. "What now?" he asked with a sigh.

Eddie locked eyes with Jerome and put on a dead-serious face. "What were you trying to tell me in the car?" he asked.

Jerome stood under the intense gaze of Eddie. "I… have no idea what you're talking about, junior. Let's just go to sleep and talk in the morning," he stalled.

Eddie stood up and was now full on glaring at Jerome. "No. You were trying to tell me something in the car, and I want to know what it was!" he demanded.

Jerome sighed and ran his hand through his hair, there was no way he was getting out of this one. "Fine, I will. Let's just sit down first," he said as he sat down on the edge of his bed and patted the area next to him. Eddie sat down.

Jerome let out a deep breath before speaking. "Let me ask you a question Eddie. If you were to choose between KT and Patricia, who would you choose?" he asked.

Eddie once again winced at the sound of her name. "That's an easy one, KT obviously."

Jerome scoffed. "And that is why you will never understand anything I would've told you."

"Are you calling me a liar?" Eddie asked in disbelief.

Jerome shrugged. "I don't know, am I?"

Eddie was dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say next.

Jerome shook his head. "Your brain will say one thing, but your heart might say another."

And with that, Jerome turned off the lights and hopped into bed. Leaving Eddie once again speechless and thinking about Jerome's newest piece of advice.


Eddie was still asleep by the time Jerome got up. Jerome wrote down a quick note on a piece of paper and left the dorm. Jerome liked KT, but there was no real chemistry between her and Eddie. So, he took it upon himself to help save the relationship of 'Peddie'. Of course, he will need some help. So he decided to give an old friend a quick phone call.

"Hello?" he heard the friendly voice of Mara Jaffray ask.

"Jaffray? It's me Jerome," he said. The two had a messy breakup back in high school. Despite that, they remained close friends with each other.

Mara squealed into the phone. "Jerome! It's been too long. How are you? How's your relationship going?" He heard Mara gasp. "You and Joy didn't break up, did you? I swear if you broke Joy's heart I will personally come over there and-"

"Relax Jaffray." Jerome called into the phone. Mara was nice and all, but she was scarily good at revenge pranks. He'd been the victim of one last year.

"Anyways, I need your help."

He heard Mara breathe a sigh of relief. "What kind of help?"

Jerome began to explain what had happened to Eddie last night. He also told her how he wanted to help Eddie, and made sure he realized the truth.

After he finished explaining, he waited for Mara's reaction. He got nothing. "Jaffray? You still there?" he asked. He got no response. He removed the phone from his ear, and rolled his eyes. Turns out, Mara hung up on him.


Jerome tried calling up everyone from Anubis, with the exception on Patricia. He got the same response every time, nothing. He was always put straight to voicemail. He gave an annoyed sigh, shut his phone, and began his journey back to the dorm.

The walk back to the dorm was spent with Jerome trying to come up with some plans. Unfortunately, the plans were either too crazy or required at least two people.

Jerome finally reached his dorm and slid his key into the hole. He opened the door and was surprised to see that Eddie was awake. He was sitting on his bed his back to Jerome.

"Eddie, I see you woke up," Jerome joked. He got no reply. Eddie just slowly turned his head towards him, nearly scaring the living daylights out of Jerome.

Eddie's hair was messy, but that wasn't the scary part. Eddie's face had a manic look in it and his eyes looked as if they had grown three times in size. Jerome was surprised that Eddie wasn't foaming at the mouth.

"Um, are you ok there?" Jerome cautiously asked, placing a hand on the door and ready to make a run for it.

"Everything's just peachy Jerome! Why don't you come sit?" Eddie exclaimed as he shifted his body to face Jerome. Jerome finally noticed that there were two items on Eddie's bed. A picture of both KT and Patricia.

"Er, what were you doing with those pictures?" Jerome asked. Eddie flashed him a wide smile.

"I was just following your advice Jerome! I'm going to choose one of them! Although I don't know who…" he trailed off.

Jerome slowly walked over to Eddie and stood him up.

"Ok, why don't we try this. Why don't you go outside and get some fresh air, while I stay here and make you a snack. Sound good?" Jerome suggested. Eddie grinned.

"OK!" He exclaimed as he raced out of the door.

Jerome sighed and leaned against the frame of the bed. What was he supposed to do now?

"Is he gone?" A female voice asked.

"Eddie? Yeah, he ran out of the room a few sec- wait… what?"

Jerome was officially scared. Was there a burglar in his dorm?

The voice had come from the bathroom, so Jerome silently crept towards the entrance of the bathroom and was prepared to jump the criminal. He heard a couple footsteps, and out came… Mara?

"MARA? What are you doing in my bathroom?" Jerome exclaimed. Mara gave him a weird look.

"Didn't you call me earlier? You asked us to come over, remember?"

Jerome was shocked. "I called asking for advice not for you to- wait, what do you mean by 'us'?"

Mara shook her head and pulled out a small whistle. She gave it a blow. And that's when the chaos started.

A rock was thrown through the window, successfully breaking it, and flying in came Willow and Alfie. Joy came bursting out of the closet. Amber seemed to just magically fall from the sky, or in this case, the ceiling. Jerome was waiting for Fabian to come in and make a dramatic entrance, but what a surprise. Fabian was the only one who thought this out, and decided to come through the front door. Typical Fabian.

Jerome closed his eyes. "Guys… what are you doing in my room," he slowly asked. He opened his eyes and expected them to disappear, but they didn't.

Amber laughed. "Mara gave us the Sibuna Signal. She said it was urgent. When we found out the plan we just had to help you out."

Fortunately, these kinds of crazy stunts didn't exactly surprise Jerome. You'd understand why if you lived at Anubis house for the last 3 years.

"You guys. This has to be one of the craziest things you've ever done, but… I guess I'll let you guys stay," Jerome said. Everybody started cheering, or in Willow's case, squeeing.

Mara gave him a mischievous smile. "Looks like Operation Peddie is a go."
