Hi! Sorry about such a late update! My teachers hate me! (Homework should be banned) Anyways, please read and review!

-outside Sapphire's house-

After escaping Ruby's house unscathed (except for a couple of death glares, courtesy of Norman; and the rather disturbing comment, "Bring home lots of grandchildren you two!" from Caroline) Ruby and Sapphire stood in front of the Birch's home.

"I still don't want to let you in my house…" grumbled Sapphire.

"Too bad, it's not like we really have a choice." Ruby was standing next to Sapphire; backpack slung over one shoulder, brushing his clothes with a lint brush.

Finally Sapphire snapped, "WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!"

-in a small clearing near Sapphire's house-

Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Gold, and Crystal were sitting in a circle within earshot of Ruby and Sapphire's conversation, but hidden out of sight.

"Um…not to be rude, but why are we here?" asked Red, scratching his head in confusion. Most of the others (excluding Blue, of course, and Gold who seemed happy to be there) also looked confused.

"Ho, ho ho! Well, you guys followed me here, didn't you?" The others nodded. "Then obviously, you want in on the plan!" Blue smirked evilly to herself.

"You guys are sick of Ruby and Sapphire arguing right?" Again, they nodded. "So, I've devised a fool-proof plan. By sticking those two together, they're going to eventually work out their arguments and get together!" She smacked her fist to her palm. "It's bound to work!"

"But if they argue all the time, doesn't that mean they hate each other?" Gold asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…Haven't you ever heard of sexual tension?" "No." Everyone (besides Gold) facefaulted.

"Well, Gold, sexual tension is when two people argue all the time…"

"Like me and Crystal?" Blue smirked. "Exactly, like you and Crystal, argue all the time because you guys…"

"HATE EACH OTHER!!" Everyone looked at Crystal in surprise from her sudden outburst. She blushed and sat back down.

"Now you know what sexual tension means Gold!" said Blue.

"But if they hate each other because of sexual tension and you stick them together…" Gold clutched his head in pain, "So confusing…"

"So, why are we here if this is between Ruby and Sapphire?" asked Yellow.

"Obviously, someone has to keep watch on those two, to make sure they don't kill each other or something…" hinted Blue. "So, we're going to spy…I mean, monitor them."

"All of us, at the same time?" asked Red.

Blue shook her head. "Silly Red! Of course not! It would be too obvious to spy in a huge group. So, we're going to split up into smaller groups of two."

"…Why should we help you anyways?" asked Green. "I'm not concerned about this." The rest of the group also looked wary.

Blue pouted. "Oh c'mon guys!" She ran over to Yellow and grabbed her hands. "Please Yellow?" Mock tears welled up in her eyes.

Yellow, feeling guilt fill her entire body, nodded. "And you'll do it won't you Red?" She turned on Red. "Since Yellow is too…" Red blushed and nodded while Yellow looked confused.

"Well, I'm not going to be dragged into this." Crystal stood up. Blue put her hand on Crystal's shoulder. "I dunno. If you don't help me, I might accidently show Gold these videos of you talking about how hot he is in your sleep…"

"FINE! I'LL HELP!" Crystal sat down again muttering words like, "Stupid blackmailer…" and "…going to kill her…"

"You'll help too, right Gold?" Gold, who had just finished recovering from his headache, nodded happily.

"…I'm still not helping you…" Green said, watching the rest of his friends cave, or be blackmailed, into helping Blue.

"Please, please, please Green?!" Blue gave Green the biggest puppy eyes she could. Green turned face away, slightly blushing. "…Fine, pesky girl…"

"Yay!" Blue clapped her hands together. "Now the teams are going to be decided using this!" She whipped out a paper with flourish.

The rest of the group peered at it. The paper seemed to have a picture of each of the boys (excluding Ruby) and a line going from the boys to the bottom of the paper; connecting to a picture of each girl (excluding Sapphire).

"We're gonna let fate decide who we're partnered with!" Blue pointed at the paper. "Just trace the line from your face to your partner's!"

"Didn't you draw the lines…?" Green stared at Blue. "Shh!" She winked and smiled evilly.

Everyone put their finger on their photo. "Ready…set…go!"

Their fingers ran over the lines, weaving over and around one another…until they met their partner's finger in the middle.

"What?!"

"Huh?!"

Both Crystal and Gold yelled out when they saw they had been partnered up.

"I don't want to be partnered up with you!"

"Like I'd want to be with Ms. Serious!"

"Why you…Fine! I'm not talking to you!"

"So am I!"

They turned around, backs facing each other. However, Gold was grinning to himself, while Crystal had a small smile on her face.

Yellow and Red had equally red faces, having been partnered by fate (or Blue).

Blue herself was chuckling merrily at her "brilliant" scheme. Then, she remembered she was partnered with Green. She glanced at him and found he was staring at her. She turned away and blushed.

"Hn…" Green also looked away, though he too felt his face get hot.

Well, that was the second ch.! Hope you liked it! Sorry about all the fluff at the end with the blushing... It was kinda short but my teachers believe that we have no lives outside of school...when will they ever learn... Anyway, please review! They help me write more!
