Apologies in advance, I'm not happy with this chapter, but I just had to do it this way! Don't be too hard on me please :)

What I would give to own these 2 I don't know but I don't. So there :P

Jamie explained, as best as he could, the situation to Rosie. Eventually, after about an hour and just when Jamie thought he was going to either cry or hit the brunette in frustration she began to get the hang of what he was saying, 'So, basically, you think my sister is a lesbian. She's in love with Sian. Sian is a lesbian too and is in love with my sister?' She asked, trying to get confirmation

'Give the girl a cigar!' Jamie exclaimed in relief, 'They snogged on a night out a few weeks ago but they've been avoiding each other since then. It got worse a couple of weeks ago when Soph slept on Sian's floor holding hands. So we need a plan to get them together again'

'Awww that's so cute. I love lesbian's' She spoke matter of factly with a grin on her face, 'Are you sure about it though? I'd hate it if you were wrong'

'I'm gay babe, I have an awsome gaydar, I'm not wrong' He assured her as she thought back over the last few years, trying to remember what they had been like with each other.

Finally, almost convinced, she clapped her hands together sharply and asked, 'So, what's the plan then?'

Jamie folded his legs beneath him and faced her on the sofa, 'Right, we've tried getting them on a night out but last night was that first bit of success we've had on that score but they are clearly wary of drinking too much around each other and letting too much information out. So what I'm thinking is we need to push them into talking in a different way'

'And how are we supposed to do that?' Rosie asked confused.

Jamie felt a smirk spread across his face as he began outlining his plan, 'First off. Are you coming back down for Soph's birthday next week?' Rosie nodded slowly, still puzzled and not able to see where he was going yet, 'So this is what we are going to do...'

The following morning, Jamie explained his plan to Chelle, feeling a bit like a master spy, then he went out shopping to get the essential equipment they would need Joined by Chelle as they went round various shops, they discussed logistics like old pros.

'Are you sure Rosie is even capable of carrying this out?' Chelle questioned Jamie, dragging him from one side of the market place to the other to look at a pair of shoes she wanted to buy.

'Capable?' Jamie snorted, 'From what I hear, when she puts her mind to it, she's even more devious than me! Besides, let's face it I've given her the same two very simple jobs to do that I have given you. I'm the one who's got to set everything up'

Chelle laughed at the martyred expression on his face, 'Anyone would think you had to rob a bank with a face like that! And anyway, as easy as one job is the other is not. What if the timing goes wrong?'

'If you two keep in touch properly, we won't have that problem will we?' Jamie linked his arm with Chelle's and with a touch of the drama queen about him, pulled her back on task and towards the final shop on their mission.

Back at the house, Rosie was on the hunt for painkillers, muttering and banging the kitchen cupboards as she went so it wasn't long before she was joined by a sleepy Sophie.

'They're in here' Sophie laughed, pulling out a packet from the drawer beside the fridges. 'What are you looking at me like that for?' She asked as Rosie turned to face her.

'Like what?' The brunette replied innocently. Looking at her in the fresh light of day she couldn't believe she hadn't spotted the signs before. It was so obvious to her now.

Sophie shrugged her shoulders, it was too early for her to be bothered with Rosie's thought processes yet and she dropped it quickly as she moved past her to make some toast. 'You want to tell me what's going on with you and Sian?' Rosie asked, making her sister drop the knife she was holding.

'What do you mean?' Sophie was defensive as she cleaned the floor and got a new knife, 'Nothing's going on between us.'

'Er, yeah I know that, that's why I'm asking!' Rosie pointed out like it was the most obvious thing in the world, 'You're putting way too much butter on that. You don't want to end up the size of a house'

Sophie scoffed at her sister, 'I am not going to end up the size of a house. I am naturally thin!' Grinning, she pointed the knife at herself, before waving it at Rosie, 'It's you that has to watch her calorie intake'

'Er I don't have to watch what I eat! I just care about what I put in my body that's all. My body is a temple. Just look at it!' Rosie said indignantly.

Sophie looked over at her thoughtfully, 'Well if that's what you want to believe...' She loved getting one over on her sister and this conversation was definitely making her feel better. She hadn't slept well over the last few weeks, her every waking thought had been about Sian and she needed a bit of respite from it all. Even if that meant putting up with Rosie for a few days.

The two girls spent the next half an hour pleasantly trading mild insults, just like they had for as long as either of them could remember. That was until Sophie corrected another of Rosie's dubious pronunciations, 'It's grind-stone, not groundstone durrbrain!'

'Are you calling me thick?' Rosie put her hands on her hips and pouted in outrage. How dare she?

'Well if the cap fits' Sophie smiled, happy that she had obviously won this round.

'Oh whatever' Rosie dismissed it with a look, 'At least I'm not blind to...' slapping her hands over her mouth to stop her from saying anything else she jumped up from the sofa with a look of panic on her face. Oooops, she had nearly let the cat out of the bag! Shaking her head furiously she left the room in a hurry leaving Sophie on her own trying to work out what was going on.

The confusion was heightened later that evening when she passed Jamie's room to overhear Jamie, Chelle and Rosie talking, almost in code. Standing with her ear pressed up to the door she heard Rosie speak, 'How are you planning on fitting that? I mean, do you know any DIY at all? Maybe I should get Jason to come down with me'

'No need', Jamie sounded very pleased with himself, 'There was a fit assistant in the shop and when I explained what I needed it for he offered to come and help me.'

'What are you doing?' The voice behind her was full of laughter and questions and Sophie turned to see Sian at the top of the stairs.

'They are up to something and I want to know what's going on' Sophie explained and lent against the door again. They had gone off the topic she wanted to listen to and all she could hear was Jamie gushing about the shop assistant he had met. He was currently declaring that he was in love and no-one anywhere would ever come between him and LeQuan.

'Probably something to do with you.' Sian told her, the laughter falling away as she thought about what she knew Jamie was up to, 'Jamie says he's got some bloke he thinks is perfect for you and they are trying to set you up with him.'

Sophie was disappointed at first, she didn't want a boyfriend, ever! Then her head creased as she thought of something else. She pulled Sian away from the door, 'So what do they need DIY for then?'

'DIY?' Sian queried as she walked down the stairs, 'What on Earth would they need that for? I don't think Jamie even knows what a hammer is!'

Sophie had been distracted watching Sian walk down the stairs in front of her and didn't answer straight away. In fact she only answered when the other girl turned to look at her at the bottom. 'Damned if I know! Maybe it's completely innocent'

There was a brief pause as both girls thought about that possibility. Looking at each other, they grinned, then spoke in unison, 'No way!'

'We need milk. You coming to the shop?' Sian asked when they stopped laughing, nodding her head as she grabbed her coat Sophie followed her out the door.

'So do you know who they're planning on setting me up with?' She probed her friend as they walked down the street.

Sian shrugged her shoulders, 'No idea. He won't tell me anything. All I know is that apparently he is perfect for you and you already know him'

They walked in silence after that, both lost in their own thoughts. Sian couldn't believe it but everything suddenly seemed to be ok again, she was happy when Sophie absent-mindedly linked arms with her and she felt at peace for the first time in a long time. This was where she belonged. Right here with her best friend. As much as she wanted more than that, so much more, she couldn't face her life without the girl beside her and if friendship was all she was entitled to then that would have to do.

Sophie's thoughts were pretty much the same. She still couldn't figure out why Sian had been so off with her for so long but she was glad that things seemed to be back to normal. The night out last night had obviously done the trick. The next thing that went through her head was completely off topic though. Who was this mystery guy Jamie wanted to set her up with? Whoever it was would just have to go swivel anyway!

'What are you giggling at?' Sian interrupted her thoughts, responding to a laugh Sophie hadn't even realised she'd made.

'Nothing much. Just a random thought that made no sense went through my head' Sophie replied nervously, 'That reminds me though, this guy you're after. Have you made any progress?'

Sian didn't reply, how could she really? Not with out telling her the whole truth anyway, simply because she didn't know how much longer she could keep in inside. She pulled her arm gently away from Sophie's and sighed, 'I don't know, I'm trying to stop thinking about them but I just can't'

'Why do boys have to be so flaming awkward?' Sophie groaned in agreement, trying to keep the conversation light. They were finally talking again and she didn't want to go home ever again if it meant it stayed like this. 'Look you should just tell him how you feel. Maybe he feels the same and just hasn't plucked up the courage to tell you for some reason'. Even as the words came out of her mouth, Sophie realised that that was how she felt, but why was she so scared?

'Dunno' Sian replied grumpily not really believing her, 'What about you and Mike? How are things between you two? I know he likes you.' Sian asked, trying to change the subject to one she was more comfortable talking about.

Sophie stopped walking and sat on a convenient bench on the outskirts of the local park, 'I don't know how I feel about him, he's alright I suppose' Leaning back she looked up at the sky, 'He wants to take me out for a meal on my birthday.'

'You don't sound too enthusiastic about that' Sian commented hopefully as she studied her friends face for clues. Sitting beside her as she waited for an answer, she looked into the sky as well.

'That one looks like a rocket' Sophie pointed out a cloud, avoiding the question entirely and then neatly avoided any answer as well by getting up again and walking into the shop leaving Sian to hurry after her in confusion.
