First of all, thank you fabinAnubiSwiftie4eva and PhantomRoses397 for both reviewing AND pointing out that in the description I stated that this was a one-shot whenCLEARLY it isn't! I have changed it now and have learnt from my embarrassing mistake! Anyway, here is the ending to Take a Chance on Me…
Nina was sitting in the attic with her arms around her knees. She often went up there to think because it was the only place she could really clear her head. Had she made the right decision? Was Fabian going to hate her now? Only time would tell but so far he hadn't come looking for her so that probably meant Nina had hurt his feelings and Fabian didn't like her anymore. Boy was she wrong (although she didn't know it yet)! As Nina thought about what she had done and how it would jeopardize her relationship with Fabian and the others, a faint sound of music and yelling could be heard. Nina just assumed that it was Eddie playing his music to loud again and Mick/Fabian telling him off. Little did she know what was really going on.
"Alfie for the last time it is step click then spin, not spin click and step!" Fabian shouted at the joker. He was getting very frustrated at the guys because he needed this to be perfect. Nina needed to realise that he wasn't like the other jerks she had been with and that she could trust Fabian.
"Sorry dude but is Nina really going to care if there is one tiny mistake?"
Fabian took a deep breath and tried to calm his temper, "No Alfie, Nina wouldn't notice one tiny mistake. However, you have made a mistake in every single thing we have done which yes, I think she would notice!"
Mick came over to Fabian to try and calm him down. Honestly, he felt bad for the guy, he had been the one telling him that Nina was madly in love with him so the least he could do was help Fabian out.
"Look man, we nearly have it. If we just have a couple more hours practice then it will all be fine ok? I mean, we already know the order; Eddie, Alfie, Jerome, me (Mick) then you Fabian."
Fabian sighed and looked at the other guys' faces. After thinking for a while he decided, "OK two more hours of practice and then it's show time. I am just going to run through the plan with the girls then I will be right back" he started to leave the room but called back, "Keep on practicing!". He made his way to Amber and Nina's room and thankfully, Nina wasn't there so he went called the other girls in and went through the plan another 10 times before they could all recite it perfectly backwards! Fabian took a deep breath and then turned to face Amber.
"Listen Amber, I am going to go take the guys over to the school now and I need to you put the plan into action right now ok?"
She nodded abruptly and shouted, "Sir yes sir!" before going up to the attic in search of Nina.
Just as Nina was about to get up and leave the attic, a familiar blonde suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Nina! I need you to come with me now! IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" Nina was confused and tried to calm her best friend down.
"Wait Amber, what's happened? What's the matter?"
"Trust me Nina me and Patricia need you to help us right NOW!"
Next thing she knew, Nina was being pulled out of the attic only to be greeted by Patricia who grabbed Nina's other arm and started pulling her off to the school along with Amber.
"Patricia will you please tell me what is going on?" Nina asked. She didn't really like the thought of where this was going and would rather be back in the house under her covers. Then again, at least she wasn't going to be in sight of Fabian right now.
The red haired girl glared at Nina, "Honestly, why do you have to whine so much! Mara just needs us in the school hall for some sort of announcement thing and she wanted us to help her with her speech for it. Now look, we are here now but I am going to need you to put this blindfold on."
Looking at Amber and Patricia who were both excitedly smiling at her, Nina warily put the blindfold on and allowed her to be led through the school. Suddenly, a masculine hand was placed in hers and music appeared along with what sounded to be a group of boys singing. Now Nina was really confused.
Ah Ah Aaah
Ah Ah Aaah
Ah Ah Aaaaaah Aah
Just then, her blindfold was taken off to reveal the school hall filled with students all smiling and clapping as if they were at a concert. There was a stage that had been put up and flashing lights were everywhere. Now, Nina just wanted to know where that singing was coming from. Suddenly, Eddie appeared in front of her holding a microphone, and started singing.
[Eddie]
You're so scared to fall in love
Cause you end up in the dust
Every time
Every time
Nina found herself smiling and before she knew it, Eddie had gone on to the stage and started step clicking and Alfie had taken his place.
[Alfie]
Now you see us all the same
Like our words are just a game
Spitting lies
Dirty lies
Nina still had no idea what was going on but she found herself smiling and blushing. As Alfie went to join Eddie on stage, Mick and Jerome came up to her and she giggled as Jerome twirled her around. She caught sight of Mara, Patricia and Amber all giving her the thumbs up before Jerome and Mick started to sing.
[Jerome]
I know you know there's something here
[Mick]
But you cannot get past the fear
[Both]
We can help you make it clear
Jerome and Mick then finally joined the other two on stage and Nina felt a tap on her shoulder. As soon as she turned around and she saw him, she finally understood what this was all about. This song was for her as proof for earlier on. Now she understood what was happening, Nina blushed even more as Fabian took her hand and led her on to the stage so that the school could see her.
[Fabian]
So when you feel
Like trying again
Reach out take my hand
See how great it could be
[All]
To fall in love
With someone you could trust
Who would never give up
Cause you're all that he needs
[Fabian + others]
Baby take a chance on me (whoah)
Baby take a chance on me (whoah)
You give 100 percent
But you never seen a cent
There so blind (so blind)
There so blind (so blind)
Now I'm looking at your face
And the world's a better place
In your eyes (your eyes)
Lovely eyes
Fabian could tell from the look in Nina's eyes that this was going well. She was smiling and blushing at the others as well but her main focus was Fabian.
[Jerome]
I know you know there's something here
[Mick]
But you cannot get past the fear
[Both]
We can help you make it clear
[Fabian]
So when you feel
Like trying again
Reach out take my hand
See how great it could be
[All]
To fall in love
With someone you could trust
Who would never give up
Cause you're all that he needs
[Fabian + others]
Baby take a chance on me (whoah)
Baby take a chance on me (whoah)
You got nothing to loose baby
But you won't know if you don't try
Please don't leave me asking why
[Fabian and Jerome]
So when your ready to choose baby
[Fabian]
I'll be here with open arms
With the same love in my heart
Suddenly, the boys surrounded Nina and she couldn't see Fabian anymore. She got really confused and tried to find him when a hand grasped hers and twirled her round.
[All except Fabian]
So when you feel
Like trying again
Reach out take his hand
See how great it could be
To fall in love
With someone you could trust
Who would never give up
Cause you're all that he needs.
There was a pause and everyone looked at Nina who was twirled around so that she was face to face with Fabian. He leant forward so that their noses were touching and softly spoke 6 words to Nina.
"Baby, take a chance on me?"
Nina knew there was only one thing to do in response, so she gently tilted her chin up and closed the gap between them. All of the school cheered and clapped and Amber squealed while snapping her first picture of Fabina for their scrapbook.
The kiss was the perfect end to a perfect song and the perfect beginning for a perfect relationship. It was a story that Nina and Fabian retold whenever they could, at their wedding, to their children, even to their grandchildren when the time came! Nina took once small chance with Fabian and it changed their lives completely. It goes to say that sometimes, taking risks are for the better…
