Albert was standing at his locker while Bree and Gabby watched from a distance.

"I don't think of it as snowboarding," he said to the people around him. "I think of it as forming a mystical connection to the mountain, entering that place where your soul flies. It's the sensation the Inuit people call cuvea sungna."

"Where did he come from?" Gabby asked Bree. For the first time in her life, Gabby didn't understand something. Albert just appeared out of nowhere, there had to be some sort of explanation. He isn't even supposed to exist! "We have to figure this out."

Bree glanced over at Albert who was currently taking of his jacket to reveal a tight shirt that revealed his body. The girls around him squealed in delight. "Uh, huh," Bree said staring at his body in a trance.

Suddenly Marnie and Ella came running over towards the girls.

"I'm sorry," Marnie said as she reached them. "But Ella and I just have to tell you, Albert is so evolved. He's sweet, but he's a boy, boy too. He's emotionally ambidextrous!"

"Marnie, it is so much more than that. Albert is like," Ella paused trying to find the right words. "Huuuuhuah! You know?"

Gabby was taken aback by her strange description; she looked at Bree expecting her to be just as confused. To her surprise, Bree squealed and said,

"I know what you mean!"

Sighing as the other girls ran off Gabby said, "People don't just appear out of thin air!"

Just then, Albert walked over to them. "Ladies," He said. "May I escort you to class?"

Bree nodded and he put his arm around her. Together the two started off down the hall. Gabby looked after them before saying,

"Hey, guys. Wait up!"

They arrived at biology, and that day they were going to do a frog dissection. Their teacher had asked Gabby to explain how to properly dissect the frogs. She stood at the front of the classroom, before the chalkboard, explaining and referencing to the pictures she drew. As she finished, she picked up a frog to show everyone.

Albert stood up suddenly, catching Gabby completely off guard. He ran to the front of the room, grabbed the bucket of frogs and the frog she was holding and rushed out of the room. Gabby watched in surprise as everyone followed him out the door and outside into the fresh air.

The tall blonde carefully turned the bucket over into a nearby bush, releasing all the frogs into the wild. Bree smiled at him, proud to call him her boyfriend. He smiled back and took her hand, leading her back inside.

"There goes my lesson plan," grumbled Gabby as she watched the couple walk down the hall away from biology.

She sighed, grabbed her books and left the classroom to go to her locker. Gabby couldn't help but feel a little left out around the two. Albert was supposed to help Bree, but now he's just stealing her away.

Gabby was so lost in thought; she didn't notice Adam turning the corner and the two collided. Adam remained upright but Gabby, unfortunately, stumbled and lost her footing, falling to the ground.

"Oops," he said offering her a hand up. "Sorry, Gabby. I didn't see you."

"It's okay, Adam," Gabby said as she took his hand, stood, and then dusted herself off. Picking up her books, she asked, "Where were you going in such a hurry anyway?"

"Oh um, nowhere," Adam said slightly blushing. "I just was walking the new girl, Zoey, to class.

Gabby didn't know anything about romance, but she could sense something happening here. She shrugged it off though; it wasn't something she wanted to get involved with. She had her own problems.

"Hey, have you met Albert?" she asked changing the subject.

"No, why?" Adam asked as the two began walking to lunch.

"It's just," Gabby paused, at a loss for words. Today was too weird for her. First she didn't understand something, and then she was at a loss for words. What was happening to the universe? "You know that boy I created for Bree last night, on my laptop.

"Yeah, what does that have to do with Albert?" Adam asked curiously.

"That's the thing. Albert is the boy. Only, today he shows up and he's real. Could you explain that?" Gabby asked looking up at him.

Adam gave her a blank look. He never did much thinking. Gabby's question must have just gone through one ear and out the other.

"No, of course not, because that doesn't just happen!" Gabby exclaimed.

"But it did," Adam said.

"Yeah, that's what I don't understand," Gabby told him. As they approached her locker she said to Adam, "Just keep an eye out for him. I don't know why but, I have a bad feeling about him."

Adam nodded and walked away. Gabby assumed he was going to lunch, but instead of heading straight, which led to the cafeteria, he turned right. The only thing down that hallway was the band room, the chorus room, and the art room. She didn't understand why he went that way, but she didn't question it. Instead, she opened her locker, threw her books in and headed to lunch.

Gabby bought her lunch and sat at her and Bree's usual table. Adam never showed up and Chase was still trying to fix the mess the girls made in Davenport's office. When Albert and Bree walked outside, practically everyone moved over to make room for them at their table. As Bree approached Gabby, she smiled but didn't sit down with her. Gabby's own smile fell when she saw the small table, umbrella and violinist all on a picnic blanket formally set up on the football field. Gabby stood up and watched as Albert took Bree's tray and put it down for her. She sighed as the two began eating in the romantic setting.

"Guess it's just me now," Gabby said to herself, feeling like she just lost her best friend.

After lunch, Bree had art class with Albert and Adam. She was currently painting a girl wearing a blue polka dot dress. As instructed by Gabby, Adam kept an eye on Albert. Though, he saw nothing wrong with Albert, he seemed to be a nice genuine guy. Bree looked over to Albert and smiled, and then she saw his painting. It was a perfectly painted portrait of Bree. He looked at her and grinned.

During free period, the two walked out and sat in the front of the school on a bench near the parking lot. Bree was showing Albert her favorite book, War and Peace, they laughed together as Bree tried to read it to him. At the moment Bree felt better than she had in her entire life. Albert was everything she could ever dream of. And now, because of him, she was the most popular girl in school, even more popular than Nevaeh. She couldn't have been happier.


Gabby found Albert alone in the library with a stack of books in front of him. She sat down beside him, figuring the best way to figure out where he came from was to ask him. So far, she had many good theories of how he got here.

"War and Peace," Albert said picking up the book. "Bree's favorite!"

He began flipping through the book. Gabby looked at him oddly, wondering what he was doing. She shook her head and turned to look at him.

"I figured out who you are!" she exclaimed. "It's so obvious."

"Wow. That book is deep," Albert said as he finished flipping the pages. He put the book aside and picked up another.

"You're from the video game company!" Gabby concluded.

Albert looked at her strangely.

"This is like, a viral marketing campaign," she explained. "Right? Its genius. They let someone hack into their game, and then the next day an actor shows up in makeup as the character you designed. I am totally gonna buy this game!" Gabby said proud of herself for figuring it out.

"So what is this?" She asked grabbing at Albert's face. "Volcanized rubber?"

"My name's Albert Banks," he said. "I'm from Glacier Falls Al-."

"Alaska," Gabby finished. "I know. You must've studied for this all night. And, you've done a great job; the look on Nevaeh's face was epic."

"Anything to make Bree happy." Albert said as he picked up the stack of books and brought them over to a cart. Gabby followed him, continuing.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about," she said. "You're going a little overboard."

"Pride and Prejudice," Albert said as he picked up the book. Gabby watched as he flipped the pages of the book, yet again. He paused a few times and made comments. "Scoundrel." He paused again, "Marriage proposal?" again, "Spit it out Mr. Darcy!" and again, "Yes."

Gabby watched in amazement at his accuracy. She had read that book a million times, and the pages he paused at were the exact pages those things occurred.

"This is what I mean," she said as he put the book back. "You're being a little too awesome. And when you go home, Bree will be crushed. And I'll be left to pick up the pieces."

"I'm not an actor," Albert explained. "And I'm not leaving here until I complete my mission. I'm going to kiss Bree at homecoming, the perfect kiss."

"There you go again with the sappy stuff!" Gabby said becoming annoyed.

"Thanks for setting me and Bree up, but I can take it from here," Albert said, and then he sat down with another stack of books.

Gabby's phone rang, causing her to snap out of her confused trance.

"Hey Chase," Gabby said picking up.

"Gabby, what is going on?" Chase asked.

"How's everything going with the computer," Gabby asked ignoring his question.

"Oh the computer, oh it's, you know, its," he said. "It's horrible! Okay, I was gonna give you a call, but then I saw a picture of this muscle based man angel on my sister's photo feed."

Gabby sigh, "Okay, Chase, don't freak out. But, the boy we designed, he kind of… showed up."

"What?" Chase shouted through the phone.

"There's an explanation for this, I just haven't found it yet," Gabby said trying to calm him down.

"I'll explain it for you," Chase told her, still freaking out. "You have created life from the prime evil void!"

"Thanks for not freaking out," Gabby said sarcastically.

"This-This will cause chaos of epic proportions! It will tear the fabric of space-time!" Chase explained. "Don't you see? There is no version of the logical universe, where my sister should have a boyfriend!"

"Chase, climb down from the ceiling!" Gabby told him. "We can't figure out what's going on until you've fixed that computer. Have you switched the memory chip?"

"Yeah, I tried that, okay? But the transceiver-," Gabby cut him off.

"No, the refractory memory chip."

"Oh…" Chase said now understanding. He'd missed most of school that day (which he hated since the only reason he woke up in the morning was to go to school) to fix the stupid computer. Davenport had millions of passcodes and security locks. He got the computer up and running in now time, all he had to do was fix the memory chip and get through all the security blocks.

"Call me when it's done," Gabby told him, hanging up the phone.

She looked over her shoulder to look for Albert, but when she did, he was gone. Just then, the bell rang signaling the end of free-period. Gabby hurried out of the library to find Bree. She bumped into her in the hallway, after Bree was apparently being swarmed by her new-found 'fans'.

"I have been looking everywhere for you!" Gabby nearly shouted at her.

"Sorry," Bree said guiltily, "I was just hanging out with Marnie and Ella."

Marnie and Ella? Gabby thought. When did she start hanging out with them?

"Listen, I wanted to talk to you about Albert," Gabby started, but Bree cut her off.

"Okay, let me stop you right there. I get it; you're upset that I'm spending so much time with Albert. Look, I'm sorry, okay? But in my defense, he just got here from Alaska today. We needed to catch up."

"Catch up?" Gabby as incredulously. "He didn't even exist two days ago!"

Bree shrugged and walked past her. Gabby huffed and then followed her.


Here's chapter 7, I tried to make it a bit longer to make up for the shorter chapter yesterday. Also, there's a tiny subtle hint for the next fanfiction I'll probably write. Maybe you found it, but if you didn't, oh well. Review, follow, and favorite please!
