A/N HELLO! I am now being called Peace (as my profile says) instead of Moon. Soooooooo, thank you all so much for reading and giving me such nice reviews! :] I'm not really sure what time this is... I guess it's some time around where the show is now, (Joy's not back yet). Love you all!
~Peace
"Look at what?" Nina asked.
"Look at this." Amber pulled a full bag of chocolate hearts out from under her pillow. "You see, last night, I woke up because I heard the door shut. That's when I felt these under my pillow! It was totally Mick!" Amber was smiling like crazy, "Then I tried to wake you up but you must have been in a really deep sleep. I got up a little earlier this morning, I know, crazy right? So I would have time to think about the wonderful thing Mick did!" Amber finally finished.
"Wow. That's great Amber. But, can I tell you something?" Amber shook her head yes. "I found two of those chocolates in my locker today."
"WHA? Mick did not go there! I'm going to kill him-"
"I don't think it was Mick, Amber. I've seen a ton of people walking around with those, since it's almost Valentine's Day." Nina explained.
"Oh, good. Who put them there then?"
"I have no idea."
"Was it Fabian?" Amber said with a smile.
"What? No! I asked him if he knew and he said no."
"That's because Fabian's too shy to tell you he put them there!" Amber started to get excited, "Oh this is great! Me and Mick, you and Fabian! We could go on a double date!"
"No! Amber! I don't think it was Fabian. And if it was, you're right, he probably wouldn't tell me... Maybe... You could ask?"
"Oh yes! B-"
"But don't let him know that I wanted to know, because that would be weird."
"Rrrright. Got it. Bye!" Amber left the room for supper. Nina sighed. Amber was great, but maybe she shouldn't have asked her, of all people, to ask Fabian.Besides, it could have been Alfie or Jerome pulling a prank on me and Amber. Who knows.
Nina left the room and ran into Patricia and Mara. "Oh, hey guys."
"Hey Nina. Oh, guess what I was just telling Patricia!" Mara said.
"I'm guessing you got some heart shaped chocolates?" Nina said.
"How'd you know? I hope they're from Mick! He said he still likes me, but we aren't dating, so I hope he asks me to be his Valentine." Nina knew not to say anything about Amber thinking the same thing.
"D'you know what's weird? I got some chocolates." Patricia said. "Probably just Jerome or Alfie playing a prank. Besides, who in this house would like me?"
"You never know Patricia, this house is full of surprises." Nina said as they entered the dining room.
When Mara sat down, Mick smiled at her, and she smiled back. Amber glared at Mara. Jerome glared at Mick, even though no one saw. Alfie waved to Patricia, and Nina and Fabian smiled at each other. But no one said anything. Finally Amber broke the silence.
"Soooo. Everyone's been getting lots of presents, most likely for Valentine's day... Who put the bag of chocolates under my pillow?" she batted her eyelashes at Mick.
"Wasn't me Ams. We're just friends now, remember?" Mick said.
"Of course it was you Mick! No wait. Alfie! You did not do this as a joke, did you?" Amber yelled. Jerome started cracking up.
"No! I didn't! I mean, I did! But, it wasn't a supposed to be a joke! And, I only put one, someone else must have put the whole bag." Alfie tried to explain.
"What? So now I'm not good enough for a whole bag! You disgust me Alfie!" Amber threw a piece of bread at Alfie and stormed out of the room. Jerome was still laughing so Alfie threw the bread at him to make him shut up.
Mick started to feel angry. Why would Alfie mess with my Ams? No, wait, we aren't together anymore. But still he should know not to mess with my ex-girl. Mick didn't know his own feelings. He thought he loved Mara, but he couldn't decide because they're so different. And deep down, he still loved Amber.
Mara caught Jerome looking at her, and he immediatley looked away. Probably just staring into space... she thought.
"My, aren't we quiet today." Trudy said from the kitchen. Nina decided that if she started a conversation soon everyone would be talking.
"So. Fabian, did you figure out that thing for math class yet?"
"Uh. Oh! Yeh, yeh! I'll have to show you later!" Fabian replied excitedly, "Actually, I'm done eating, are you?"
"Yeah! Yeah, totally."
"Then let's go look at it." Fabian looked at Patricia as if to say Upstairs, now and then Fabian and Nina went upstairs to Nina and Amber's room.
"They really need to stop being so boring." Jerome said after they left.
"They have serious problems, they totally like each other but they won't admit it." Alfie said.
"I bet they already have, but haven't told anyone!" Patricia said, "Actually, I'm going to go ask them!" She raced out of the room and upstairs. She had only said that as an excuse to go talk to them about the latest clue.
"Well then... Who wants to make a bet?" Jerome asked.
...
Upstairs, Nina went into her room to see Amber putting on some make-up. She had told Fabian to stay outside for a sec.
"You ok, Amber?" Nina asked.
"Never better!" Amber said, "In fact, I'm going do something I've never tried. I'm going to get back at Alfie! And I'm going to find a way to win Mick back!"
"Uh, Amber, I think Alfie really likes you. I don't think he was pranking you." Nina said.
"That's silly! Alfie likes Patricia now!" Amber said. Nina gave up.
Outside Patricia was listening in through the door.
"Patricia, I don't know if you should be eavesdropping." Fabian said.
"Shh!" she said, "Alfie doesn't like me! We're just friends!" Patricia whispered angrily. She heard the door opening and started talking to Fabian.
"Uh.. And that's why you should ask her out! Oh, hi Nina!" Patricia walked into the room, with a slightly angry Fabian behind her. Why did she have to say that? Nina was also wondering what they had been talking about. Ask who out?
Sibuna got right down to business with the clue.
...
Downstairs in the common room Mara was talking to Mick about sports while Jerome told Alfie how to get Amber to like him.
"So, I was wondering if you could help me with my training again?" Mick asked Mara.
"I'd love to. What time?" Mara said.
"Tomorrow after school."
"Oh, um, Jerome and I were going to play some chess tomorrow..."
"Chess? Jerome? HAHAHAHA! You crack me up babe!" Mara remembered when Mick would say that to Amber. It was sort of weird having him say it to her...
Jerome stopped talking to Alfie and glared at Mick, who then stopped laughing.
"Can't you just do it some other time?" Mick asked Mara quietly. Mara looked at Jerome with a face that said Rescedule? Jerome just walked away.
"Um, Mick, I'll talk to you later, yeh?" and she left the room. Mick was so confused. He then remembered how often Amber cracked him up. Mara didn't as much. He was secretly missing Amber more and more.
...
Later that night when Amber came out of the bathroom and ran into Nina. "Oh, hi." Amber said, "What're you doing?"
"Um, brushing my teeth?"
"Oh, right! Duh. So, have you gotten any more chocolates?"
"Actually, yes." Nina said, "I found one on my bed... with this note." She handed the note to Amber. Amber read it and got so excited.
Just then, the two heard their bedroom door slam.
A/N I hope you liked it! I actually don't know if I liked this one... I made it longer! lol. Anyone have any suggestions for me? You also asked for more Fabian, sooo, yeah!
~Peace
