Note: This chapter was posted on July 7th. Let's wish those fictional characters out there a very happy birthday:

Happy Sweet Sixteen Nina and Joy! May season two be produced ASAP.


Nina's POV

Bowling was great. Fabian and I tied if you can believe it. I got a few strikes and he was always getting spares with a couple strikes of his own. "That was great!" I laughed as we walked up the path to the House.

"Look at the stars."

I looked up. "They're beautiful," I marveled.

"Just like you." Then Fabian kissed me. To you it was probably only five seconds, but to me...

When we broke apart, Fabian, ever the gentleman, held the door open for me. We both wished each other good night. Even though it was ten o'clock, I wasn't that tired, so I decided to continue my email to Gran. Sadly, Amber was talking in her sleep, so I ended up taking my laptop downstairs to the dining room. Do you know how hard it is to concentrate when your roomie is nearly screaming about knock-off purses?Satisfied with what I had written so far, I continued typing.


"...and we were all dancing. Then Amber announce that she would be the one to pick the Prom King and Queen. We all thought she'd choose herself and Alfie, but she called Fabian up to the stage as king. Guess who was Prom Queen...ME! Can you believe it, Gran? I have to have the best BBF in the world. Well, that sums up everything major.

Call me when you get a chance.

Love,

Nina,"I muttered to myself. Then I hit send. "What time is it? 2:31 am! Wow. I'd...*yawn*... better get...*yawn*...to...bed." I made a move to rise up from my chair, but was too tired. "Just five minutes of rest," I told myself,"then I'll leave."


7:00am

Amber's POV

"Has anyone seen Nina?" I asked as I bounded into the room for breakfast.

"No," Mick replied. "Trudes, is breakfast ready yet?"

"Nearly, dearie."

"What's Nina's laptop doing at the table?"

"Umm...hey, Ambs?"

"Yeah, Alfie?"

"Found her." He pointed down to his seat. I walked over for a closer look. Yup, Nina was sound asleep, using the three seats as a bed. I'd hate to be her when she awoke. I wonder what kept her up.

Trudy interrupted my thoughts. "All right, Mick. Here's your share. Oh! Nina, sweetie." Trudy gently shook her.

"Mmmhmm," murmured Nina lazily as she sat up and stretched. "What time is it?"

"Breakfast time," Mick answered. "Now, Nina, if you don't mind getting your stuff off my placemat..."

"Sorry." Nina stood up and took her laptop upstairs.


9:09am

We were in French class. Mrs. Andrews was writing this week's vocab on the board as Mr. Sweet walked in.

"Excusez-moi, Daphne. Pardon the interruption."

"What is it?"

"Nina, there's someone to see you in my office." I watched as Fabian and Nina shared a confused look. I was bemused, too. Who, besides moi and everyone else at Anubis did Nina know in England? Well, there was Sarah, but she's dead, so she doesn't really count. Slowly she rose. "Hurry up, please. Tempus fugit."

I watched as Nina walked out the door, wondering why all of a sudden I had the most horrible feeling in my gut.
