Me, George, Miah: READ/REVIEW! THANKS!

Okay where was it? I looked through my drawer for the millionth time, this is ridiculous! Fred and Verity were already down in the shop and Miah would be coming soon, I had to find my bloody tie! I gritted my teeth and took a quick peek under my bed, why would it be there?

"GEORGE, YOUR LADY AWAITS" I heard Fred cry from down below. My lady….Miah! I sprinted down the steps almost tripping twice, catching my self unsteadily, and only stopping when I stood beside Fred.

"Run fast enough?" he teased and I caught on, she wasn't there, Fred was just pushing my buttons but I would stay calm.

"Have you happened to see my tie anywhere?" I asked trying to change the topic to the thing I spent the last hour desperately searching for.

"Your tie…" Fred tapped his finger on his chin. "Your tie?"

"Yes my tie!" I cried getting frustrated fast. He smirked and his hand slipped into his pocket.

"You mean this?" he asked pulling my tie from his pocket.

"That would be it" I muttered threw clench teeth and Fred doubled over. His laughing annoyed me and I grabbed the tie from his hand putting it on quickly.

"Fred, its not that funny" I arched an eye brow at him as tears started to dribble down his cheeks.

"I know" he gasped, but didn't stop. "The, ha, Fool's Flowers, haha, are, ha, still buggy" he laughed on and I shook my head.

There she was, coming out of the back with Verity! Clad in a maroon robe, she looked stunning. She wore a plum v-neck and black sweater and tight frayed jeans. Her little bit of makeup that she wore was all she need; I had to hold myself back, but couldn't stop the smile that broke across my face.

"Morning Miah" I welcomed and Fred stopped laughing, biting his lip to keep quite. He brushed the tears aside and punched my shoulder, in a way I thought was for good luck, then he was gone behind a shelf.

"George, you want to give Miah the grand tour?" Verity asked and I didn't think I could say yes fast enough.

"Sure" I didn't want to sound too eager, and Verity thankfully pounced on her new magazine.

I took Miah around the shop, explaining all the products and explaining what they all were. I was touched by how impressed she seemed with them. We only poked our head in our inventing room because I wasn't sure about the Fool's Flowers. They were flowers that you could give to anyone, who doesn't like getting flowers, and they were supposed to making get massive pimples but it was having the strangest affects lately.

"Get all that?" I teased as she seemed to wrap her brain around what I had last said.

"I think" she smiled weakly at me and I felt a pull on my heart.

"Just let me know if you need any help, with anything" I was serious, anything, like maybe with a heavy box or stocking shelfs...or maybe if she needed a boyfriend.

She nodded her head and her eyes showed she would.

"You can just sit with Verity at the counter; Mondays are usually slow so you won't need to do much." She nodded once more and I left her sitting at the counter to join Fred in our "lab".

He was waiting, the fool's flowers were gone and I figured he put them away for testing later. He looked at me silly, smirk playing on his lips, I knew he had thought of something that would bother me and he just couldn't wait to share it. Surprisingly he didn't say anything right away and we worked in silence for some time but he smirked on.

"So what happens when Katie visits?" he finally asked after we had been working for some time.

"I don't know" I said weakly falling into the nearest chair, my brain hurt just to think about it. Katie was an old friend that I had always had feelings for, we were pretty close and I really liked her a lot. Miah, Miah was different, I didn't know her nearly as long as Katie but I felt the immediate connection, she made me feel like Katie never had.

Even though we liked to tease each other we still never liked to see the other hurting and the smirk faded off Fred's face, he moved to my side.

"George, you can't draw this out, I know you don't want to pick but there will be some drama if you don't choose soon. Not that there probably wont be drama after you choose. They will meet each other sometime, better get it over with sooner then later" Fred counseled me and I knew that he spoke the truth, I just didn't know how.

"I know" I whispered.

"Come, on let's take a break" he led us out of the "lab". As soon as I stepped out of the curtain I heard my name shrieked and a lean blonde haired girl jumped in my arms, kissing my cheek.

"Katie" I mumbled into her shoulder. What was she doing here; she couldn't be here, not now! I quickly glanced at Miah and saw she watched stiffly, face unreadable, this was not good at all.

"What are you doing here?" I asked still confused.

I decided to come home from the Falmouth Falcons early!" she cried excitedly smiling up at me happily.

"Hello drama" I heard Fred mumble quietly and I knew this was what he had meant.

"Miah" I spoke to her trying to get her to look at me. "I don't think you have met Katie" I really didn't want to finish but Katie would think it strange if I didn't. "My girlfriend" I saw hurt flash across her face, or at least I thought I did, it was so fast there was no telling what it was.

"Hi" she mumbled nodding her head at Katie not meeting my eyes; Katie smiled brightly at me, her arm in a death grip around my waist.

"I missed you so much!" Katie turned to me; she wore a pink little sundress and brown sandals. She stood taller kissing me slowly on my lips. I heard Fred say Miah's name before our kiss started and when we pulled away they were gone.

Katie went on about how quidditch was but I was only half listening waiting for Fred and Miah to come back. I wanted to talk to Miah but I didn't know what to say. All I really wanted to do was wrap her in my arms and never let go, I wanted to show her I did love her, a lot.

When they did my eyes were only for Miah, her eyes weren't puffy meaning she hadn't cried, the last thing I wanted to do was make her cry. She was stiff and expressionless the rest of the day and Katie just went on and on not noticing I was barely paying attention.

Verity never looked our way and if she ever happened to she would go green, looking disturbed. Fred wouldn't look at me either; I knew they both were mad at me for hurting Miah, I was mad at myself for it.

"So you don't mind if I stay for a few days right?" Katie ran her finger down my arm innocently and I just nodded my head watching as Miah looked away, jaw muscles popping as she clenched her teeth.

I hated how she practically ran out of the shop when we closed, Fred gave me a nasty look, and Verity looked disappointed.

"Men" she muttered before quickly leaving.

After dinner, I grabbed an extra blanket from my room quickly before heading out to the couch, where I was spending the next few nights. I let my eyes close but was unable to rid my mind of Miah, how hurt she looked when I spoke the words, "my girlfriend". I knew I had to pick and soon but I couldn't. I thought I really loved Katie, and thought she just might be the one, until Miah come in my life and knocked me off my chair.

...

I was strong, as strong as I could be at least. I watched stiffly as Katie hung all over George for the next few days, averting my eyes as much as I could, waiting as those few days turned into a week and a half.

It hurt to see the one I thought I could have loved in the arms of another and I made my self a promise. I would get over him, no matter what it was obvious he had Katie and I just had my head in the clouds to think he could have wanted me.

Day after day I worked hard to fulfill that promise, pushing the butterflies roughly away when ever I felt them, knocking him out of my mind and mentally screaming at my self when his face would slip past the walls I built, as much as it hurt I did it.

Fred and Sadona were my strong towers, I could count on them to be there when ever I need them; Fred would take me out for lunch to get away from the shop and the two love birds. He and I talked about nonsense day in and day out, taking my mind off George and making me laugh.

That boy had the gift of funny and he was a true friend.

Sadona would make me dinner and take me out dancing every once and a while. She set up an easel in her shop just for me and we painted on my days off, letting talk about nothing settle gently between us.

Dancing was always fun when she took me, even though I never thought of myself as much of a dancer.

If you wanted to know the definition of true friends, Fred and Sadona would be the best examples.

"You ready?" I yelled up the stairs to Sadona, who was supposed to be getting changed, she was taking me out dancing again for the third time. I wore a figure hugging black twisted halter shirt, a gift from Sadona, and the same jeans I wore my first day working at WWW.

I sat slowly down at the counter in the dark shop, the sun had started to slowly setting and night was creeping closer and closer.

What was taking so long? The hard work of earlier that day was hanging heavily on my eye lids, pushing down to try to make me fall asleep; I would wake up when we would go out, I figured.

BANG! There was a loud crash of shattering glass and smoke immediately filled my nose. Bright flames danced at the door and greedily reached for the paintings.

I was frozen then my thoughts flicked to Sadona, where was she? I stood shakily as the flames moved closer too quickly for my liking. I dodged them and ran for the steps.

Smoke had already charged ahead up the steps to our flat and I clapped my hand over my mouth, then took the steps two at a time to the rooms above. Practically knocking the door down I entered the living room at a run and saw Sadona.

She lay face down on the couch, asleep, worriless.

"Sadona!" I shouted dragging her to her feet, her eyes flew open and she took in the smoke pouring up through the open door.

"What! No!" she screamed as I drug her toward the door to the steps. I stop yanking our shirts over our mouths, I grasped her hand tightly in my own and we descended into the black.

We hurried through the doorway to the shop and stopped as we saw the fire.

The flames were huge, reaching for everything, merciless. I felt Sadona's grip loosen on my hand and I gave hers a squeeze and started dragging her through her store that was being swallowed by flames.

We burst out the door and fell on the cold stones of the road, making shouts erupt from the small group of people watching from the street. The woman who owned the cafe next to us called the Black Hat helped me to my feet.

"I sent for the ministry love, they should send someone out to help." I nodded then turned to Sadona who watched with horror, I wrapped my arms around her shaking body and she cried into my shoulder.

People from the ministry started to apparate and put the fire out and Sadona cried on, her life's work was in that shop.

I watched as the flames that were still alive raged around the painting sitting in the window, it was my favorite painting Sadona had ever made. The horse, wings arched over his head, the flames gleamed on his pure white hide but he showed no fear in his big black eyes. He kept his head high and faced the fire with bravery, I could watch no longer, not wanting to see him burn, I turned away and shielded my eyes with Sadona's shoulder.

"What happened" I heard Fred's worried voice ask after we had stood watching for quite some time and I turned to find him racing over. They had just finished putting the fire out completely and now they were checking the damage that had been done.

Fred took us in, both covered in soot and tear streaks down Sadona's cheeks and he gasped unable to find words.

And he was alone.

Just then I saw a person of the ministry motioning me over, I let go of Sadona and Fred took her in his arms. I glanced back for a moment and saw the way Fred pulled her close and rested his cheek on her head.

"I am Officer Gage, you are quite lucky you have some quick thinking neighbors." Gage started and I had a good feeling things weren't as bad as I dreaded they would be. "We managed to get her just in time to save the shop; there is some minor fire damage and major smoke damage. It could take some time until it could be used again, let alone lived in, but after some fixing up it will be good as new." He reassured me and I smiled thankfully at him, then he sent for a healer to check us out quickly. The Healer let us go with minor burns but besides those Sadona and I were fine.

"Do you happen to have a place to spend the next few nights?" Gage asked then.

"Yes" I heard Fred answer behind me and I smiled at his words and Gage nodded then moved off. I stood gazing in the shop through one of the front windows, thoughts broken and wild, and my small smile slipped from my face.

Paintings were charred black, wilted with holes, and some just frames lying on the floor. Butthere still in the window was the bold stallion, he was unharmed!

"Sir" I asked politely to the man who was checking the damage inside the shop.

"Yes" he looked me, face drowning in pity.

"That painting, could you please get it for me?" I asked pointing to the brave grey horse. He nodded and gently took it down from his stand in the window.

"Thank you" I whispered as he handed it to me and he nodded once more, leaving me to finish what he was doing.

I held the painting in my hand, frame blackened, and some of it melted by the heat, but other then that the stallion was unharmed. He looked onward wings still arched, head high, I couldn't help but find comfort in his strength and he nickered softly to me.

My vision blurred and I wanted to smile but I couldn't. A hand grasped my shoulder and for one exhilarating moment I thought it was George.

Fred's soft brown eyes met mine and he knew what I was thinking.

"Katie was leaving today" he explained and that was all I needed. Good riddance, I thought and Fred pulled me closer under his arm, I tucked the horse painting under my arm and he walked us to WWW.

"Merlin Fred, where were you?" George's worried voice met us as we pushed through the front door. "What-" he started when he saw us but Fred held up a hand and led Sadona and me up the stairs to there flat.

"You want a shower?" Fred asked Sadona and she nodded weakly still in shock. I rested the painting against a chair then took her arm as Fred let her go to fetch a shirt of his and some shorts. George could only watch, mouth opening and closing like a fish but no words poured out, yet. When Sadona had gotten in the shower George exploded.

"What happened?" he demanded sounding worried and his eyes searched me. There were those small burns on my arms and through my clothes; soot covered me from head to toe but no tears left trails on my face. I didn't cry.

"Sadona's shop caught on fire" I wearily explained dropping onto a stool at the counter.

"What, why, how?" he asked looking panicked, he reached his hand out to take mine but I moved it away.

"I don't know" I sighed, events of the last few hours sinking in, Sadona's shop had burned! All our possessions were in that building and Sadona's paintings, gone! The horse, be strong like him, hold your head high and things will work themselves out.

(A/N Oh was this one too sad? Poor Sadona, poor Miah, poor George! Aw! If you liked it remember review! p.s. I LOVE my girls Weasleyobsessed, who gave me this awesome ideal, and Shadowdawn of Shadowclan who reviews, reviews, reviews! LOVE YOU GUYS!)
