Author's Note: Degrassi was so good tonight O M G. haha. Anyways I AM SO EXCITED FROM THAT PROMO. SKLDFSKLFJSKDJF FIADAM! Also, this chapter is too long and it's by far my least favorite i've written. I'm going to try to wrap the story up in 6-8 more chapters. Then I already have a squeal planned and maybe one more after that. :) the last little bit of this chapter is really rushed and just a transition. I promise for more "reaction" in the next chapter. I just wanted to get this up.

"Fiona, we need to talk." Declan said as Fiona entered her condo and set her purse down and took her coat off.

She looked over at the dining table Declan was sitting at. She was slightly confused. "What do we need to talk about?" She asked as she took a seat across from him.

"Your friend Adam." he said simply.

Fiona narrowed her eyes a bit. "Okay…why?" she asked carefully.

"I talked to Holly J today. I asked her about him. I saw how you looked at him today in the caf and I just wanted to make sure he was a good guy for you to be hanging around. Especially if you want to become more than just friends"

Fiona's eyes became wide. "Well, what did Holly J tell you?"

Declan softened his face. "She said he was a nice kid."

Fiona relaxed and smiled. "He is, Declan. Really he's so nice. And he's funny and smart and he's a great friend. He's not like any other guy that's ever been interested in me. He's fantastic."

Declan nodded. "You seem to really like him."

She nodded excitedly, her smile growing even bigger.

"He sounds fantastic." Declan said carefully. "Holly J told me he gets bullied a lot. If he's so great, why is that?"

Fiona's smile fell. "Oh, well, you know. You saw him. He's…a lot smaller then a lot of the guys so they pick on him a lot." Fiona said, wringing her hands nervously.

Declan looked at her curiously. "Why are you lying to me Fi? You know I can tell when you're lying. Just tell me the truth."

Fiona sighed. "Can't you just accept what I just told you? It's not a lie. Just, please, can you get to know him? He invited us to hangout with him and his brother Drew tonight. Can you just please meet him?"

Declan glared at his sister then softened his expression. "Fine. But after tonight, you'll tell me what you're hiding."

Fiona nodded. "Promise."

~~o0o~~

"I'm kind of dating Fiona Coyne." Adam said randomly to Drew as they waited for their mother to pick them up after Drew's football practice. The season was over but Drew already started training for next year.

"And pigs can fly." Drew said punching his little brother in the arm then looked at him. "…oh my gosh you're serious aren't you?"

Adam snorted. "Do you think I could make that up and say it with a straight face?"

Drew laughed. "True. So, wow. When did this happen?"

"About a week ago." Adam said nonchalantly.

"You hid the fact that you are dating Fiona Coyne from me for a week?" Drew said, shocked.

Adam shrugged. "We're not exactly dating. There was nothing to tell."

"So, why are you telling me now?" Drew asked, confused.

"Her brother Declan just moved back here from New York where he's been living and I told her the four of us could hangout tonight. She thought it would be a good chance for you to get to know her and for Declan to get to know me."

Drew rolled his eyes. "So, I have to go hangout with you, your girlfriend and her brother tonight?"

Adam sighed. "Please. I told her you'd come. Plus her brother is probably going to be questioning me all night so at least you being there might make it a little less awkward."

"Fine. I'll do it." Drew said as him and Adam stood up and got in the car as their mom pulled up.

~~o0o~~

"Wow, nice place." Drew said, looking around Fiona's condo as him and Adam entered.

"Thank you." Fiona said politely. "Declan, this is Adam and his brother Drew."

Declan politely shook both boys hands.

"Nice to meet you." He said taking in site of both boys. He was shocked that out of the two of them Fiona was interested in Adam. Drew seemed more her type. Adam was soft looking. He looked…pure. Like there was no evil in him and he was incapable of hurting anyone or anything. Declan then decided that was probably a good thing and one reason why Fiona liked him so much.

The four all sat down on the couch and just made a bunch of "small talk" until Declan finally turned to Adam.

"So, I heard you were bullied. Why was that exactly?"

Fiona gaped at her brother and Drew's fists automatically clenched.

Adam, however, didn't look as surprised. He instead looked at Fiona and said calmly. "Do you want to tell him or should I?"

"Adam, you don't have to do this." Fiona said.

"He should know. I mean, if you don't want to tell him…" Adam said looking at her.

Fiona sighed. "Adam, you know that's not…you know I wasn't going to hide that."

Declan turned to his sister. "Hide what?" He said angrily.

"Adam is…different. From a lot of guys." Fiona started.

Declan looked at her extremely confused.

"He was born female. He still is biologically female. But he's a guy between the ears."

Declan sat silent for at least 3 minutes. Right when Fiona was going to say something he spoke. "She's Tran gendered."

Fiona nodded. "Yes, he is."

Declan sat up straight and looked at his sister. "Mom and Dad would never approve. You know that."

Fiona looked at her brother, angrily. "You don't know that. He's a great guy."

Declan ran his hand over his face in frustration and looked at Adam. "Do you love my sister?"

Fiona interjected. "Like me Adam, do you like me?"

Adam looked between the two twins. He decided to look at Fiona in fear of Declan's reaction. "Yes, Fi. I like you a lot."

Declan stood up. "Go home." He said simply to Drew and Adam.

Drew stood up. "Why are you doing this to my brother? He obviously likes your sister and your sister obviously likes him."

Declan took a step closer to Drew. "Which is why you need to go home."

"Why because my brother isn't good enough for your snobby stuck up family?" Drew snorted.

"Drew let's just go." Adam pleaded.

Suddenly they could all hear a key jiggling the lock.

Declan spoke quickly. "I wanted you to go home because that's our mother and I wanted to formulate a plan with my sister on how to introduce your brother to our parents."

"Too late." Fiona whispered as her mom stepped through the door.
