Summary: Rose is fed up that her ship isn't canon so she decides to do something about it.

Rose sighed. Juleka looked at in concern "What's wrong?" Rose glanced at Juleka before sighing again "Nothing".

Rose returned her attention to watching Nathanael and Lila, Who was seated far across the room from her. Lila was talking happily about some new movie that was out soon while Nathanael was listening and sketching at the same time. Every so often he would look up at Lila and smile while adding his own opinions.

Juleka noticed where she was looking "You're not still on about that?" Juleka asked. Rose pouted "It's obvious, Juleka! Why haven't they done anything about it?"

"Well, they've been friends for so long…it can be hard to admit to your best friend" Juleka blushed as she glanced away from Rose.

Rose not picking up on her friend's strange behaviour continued "Well that might be true but how can they both be so oblivious! It's obvious they both like each other…The whole class knows…Kim and Alix have a bet about it!" Rose slumped across the table in defeat.

"What? Since when?" Juleka asked.

Rose sat back up and looked at Juleka with large periwinkle eyes "You don't know about the bet?" Juleka shook her head. "Oh, well you see Alix bet Kim that Nathanael would confess first but Kim thinks Lila will"

"That was kind of risky of Alix," Juleka thought out loud.

"It definitely was because he still hasn't said anything" Rose managed to keep her voice to a whisper as she looks across with a glare at Nathanael.

"Don't get annoyed with Nathanael, Lila hasn't said anything either but what will Alix have to do if she loses?" Juleka asked.

"She has to be Kim's slave for a week and also compliment him the whole time and Kim has to do the same if he loses"

"Well at this rate we're not going to find out who will win" Juleka smiled sadly

"I really thought Nathanael was going to confess that time…He told us he liked her but then he got scared and didn't confess to her!" Rose pouted.

"Rose, you can't rush him" Juleka warned. "Give him time," she said when Rose looked at her in annoyance.

Rose sighed "I suppose you're right" Then she smiled at Juleka with twinkling eyes "You're always so smart, Juleka"

Juleka blushed and ducked her head trying to hide under her long black hair. "I'm not really but Thanks" She mumbled.

Rose giggled "You get embarrassed so easily, you're adorable" this caused Juleka to become even more flustered.

Nathanael glanced across the room at Juleka and Rose. 'Juleka still hasn't told Rose about her crush…not that I can judge I can't even admit to Lila I like her'

"What's wrong?"

Nathanael came out of his thoughts and looked at Lila "Oh, sorry…I just spaced out" he chuckled. Lila smiled "I see thinking about what kind of villain Naomi and Leon will fight in your next comic"

Nathanael smiled "For the last time Lila I'm not telling any spoilers. You can see the next comic page when I'm finished" Lila flumped across the table and looked at Nathanael "But you left it on a cliffhanger last time!"

Nathanael laughed "I'm glad you like my comics so much" Lila sat back up and smiled at him "How could I not! They're amazing"

Nathanael blushed "T-thanks" he stuttered. Lila smiled "you're so sweet" Nathanael blushed looking back down at his sketchbook.

Rose walked with Juleka down the corridor they had returned from their lunch break now.

"Juleka I have decided that I shall help Nathanael in his dilemma!"

Juleka sighed "Rose for the last time, just because your fortune cookie said that it doesn't mean that you should interfere with Nathanael's life"

Rose walked to stand in front of her friend, Making Juleka stop in front of her. "It said don't wait for your ship to come in, Swim out to it! It is obviously telling me to set them up"

Juleka rolled her eyes with a chuckle "I don't think they mean the kind of ship you're on about"

"I don't care! I'm going to do it!" Rose look at Juleka with big eyes "Will you help?"

Juleka sighed "Rose-"

"Don't say No, It's for Love isn't that the greatest cause!" Rose grabbed Juleka's hands causing Juleka fight off a blush.

"I can think of greater causes…but fine I'll help" Juleka mumbled.

Rose squealed happily and hugged Juleka, Causing Juleka to become flustered "You're the best!" she said as stepped away from the girl and skipped back to class.

'Why does she have to be so cute' Juleka though with a smile as she followed after the cheerful girl.

Lila walked back into class, Nathanael walking beside her. As she was walking up to her seat she felt like she was being watched. She looked at Rose and Juleka who locked eyes with her before both glancing away. Lila raised an eyebrow in confusion.

She sat down in her seat beside Nathanael. Then she glanced at Rose, Locking eyes with her again.

Rose's eyes widened in shock before she turned away quickly looking away out the window.

Lila looked down at the table in thought 'I wonder what's wrong? Oh! Did I do something to upset her? I don't remember doing anything' Lila panicked before turning to look at Nathanael.

"Nathy, did I do something to upset Rose?" She asked.

Nathanael looked at Lila and saw her eye's filled with worry. "I don't remember you doing anything that would have upset her…Why?" "Well she has been staring at me since I've walked in the class"

Nathanael laughed "we've only got back in the class" Lila pouted "I know that! But still, it's suspicious"

"Stop worrying about it! Maybe she didn't realise she was doing it, Like when people zone out" Nathanael explained

Lila nodded her head "Yeah, like the time's you zone out and stare at me by accident"

Nathanael's face went as red as his hair "Y-yeah, just um by accident" He mumbled looking away.

Lila looked at Nathanael in concern "You okay?"

Nathanael just nodded refusing to look at Lila in case his blush came back. Lila continued to look at Nathanael in concern.

Rose watched all this and though she couldn't hear them she saw Nathanael become flustered and look away from Lila. She shook her head "poor Nathanael, He definitely needs our help can't you see" She whispered to Juleka.

"Yes, but do you really think your plan is such a good idea…You could make Lila angry and you wouldn't want that" Juleka warned.

Rose shook her head "Why would she be angry! She loves Nathanael and he loves her! If anything she will be very happy with me!"

Juleka smiled "Well that's if they even admit"

Rose scowled "They have to admit!

"Well, we won't know until later" Juleka said.

"Right let's focus on the plan" Rose smiled, her blue eyes lighting up with excitement.

Nathanael was walking down the school corridor glad that last class was finally over. Lila was not in his last class so he always met by the school doors to walk home together.

When Juleka rushed up to him "Nathanael"

"What's wrong?" Nathanael asked

"I need you to take these books to the English store, I don't have time," Juleka said pushing a heap of books into Nathanael's arms.

Before he could say anything Juleka was off rushing down the corridor.

He looked down at the books he was now carrying and sighed 'looks like I'm going to the English store'

Nathanael walked down to the English store and saw the door was already open. He looked in and saw Lila was in it putting books up on the top shelf.

"Oh, hey Lila" Nathanael smiled

Lila looked at Nathanael and smiled "Hey Nathanael, what are you doing here"

He stepped into the store and before he could answer the door slammed shut behind him.

Both of them look at the door in surprise and Lila rushed to open it. When it didn't open Lila growled: "Rose, if this is your idea of a joke it's not funny!"

Outside the door, Rose giggled "It's not a joke! I'm helping"

Nathanael put his books down on a low shelf and walked up to stand beside Lila at the door.

"Rose just open the door" He shouted out.

"Just tell how you feel and I will" Rose shouted back

"No way!" both shouted back.

Then they looked at each in surprise and blushed.

"I have somewhere important to go and if you don't open the door I'll be late" Lila lied.

"Well, you'll have to be late I'll be back later" Rose giggled walking away.

"Rose!" Lila shouted when she got no reply she put her forehead on the door in defeat.

"Do you actually have somewhere to be?" Nathanael asked

Lila looked at him and laughed "No don't worry, I was lying but only because I thought she might let us out."

Nathanael nodded "It's okay…so what do we do while we wait?"

Lila turned around leaning her back against the door "No idea…how long do you think she'll keep us here"

Nathanael walked away from the door and into the middle of the store, it wasn't that big of a store.

"I don't know" He sighed.

"It's a pity there are no windows in here I could have climbed out through one" Lila mused looking around the store.

"Lila um when Rose said to tell how you feel why did you say no way as well?" Nathanael blushed.

Lila blushed and sank down to the ground "I have no idea what she was going on about she must be misunderstanding something" Lila looked at the ground not meeting Nathanael's eyes.

Nathanael looked away trying to ignore the sinking feeling in his heart "Oh right" he muttered. He felt like an idiot for hoping Lila might feel the same.

Then an idea came to Lila's mind. "I can pick the lock!" she shouted jumping up.

Nathanael looked at her in surprise "what?"

Lila smiled "I can pick the lock on the door and get us out"

"Wow you must be desperate to get away from me" Nathanael teased.

Lila looked at him shock "What! No of course not I would rather be trapped with you than anyone else"

Nathanael blushed "I know…I was only joking"

Lila laughed "oh, well it's not like you want to be trapped here forever knowing Rose she'll probably forget all about us." Lila reached up into her hair and took out a hairpin. She bent the hairpin out and knelt down to the doors lock. She put the pin into the lock and narrowed her eyes in concentration.

Nathanael watched her as she continued to mess around with the lock. 'I should tell her' he thought after all Rose did say to tell her how I feel and I've already backed out once. He took a deep breath 'I can do this what's the worst that can happen?' Nathanael was about to say something when another thought came to mind 'She could reject you and decided that she doesn't want to be your friend either and then continues to ignore you for the rest of your life' Nathanael sighed "Shut up brain" he whispered out loud.

"Did you say something?" Lila asked she was nearly finished picking the lock.

"N-no didn't say a thing" Nathanael blushed. He sighed this was no good he was going to tell her so what if she didn't like him back. "Lila," he said

"Yeah" she answered back.

"I like you," Nathanael said just as Lila finally made the door open.

Lila looked back at Nathanael in shock "what" she whispered.

'I should not have said that…oh, shit…what do I do?' Nathanael began to get flustered. When Lila finally spoke up.

Lila stood up and walked closer towards Nathanael "Do you mean it…you like me as more than a friend?" she questioned seeming shyer than before as a blush appeared on her face.

Nathanael looked at Lila and nodded. He knew there was no point backing out after all he may as well tell her these feelings weren't going away anytime soon. "Yes, I like you as more than a friend"

"I like you too" she mumbled quietly refusing to look into his eyes as she confessed.

"Finally!" Rose exclaimed as she walked into the storage closet.

Both Nathanael and Lila looked at Rose in surprise. Blushes getting redder across their faces.

"How long have you been there," Lila asked.

"Long enough…but how did this door get open I thought I locked it?" Rose asked staring at the door in confusion.

Both Nathanael and Lila laughed "It's handy to know how to pick a lock" Lila winked.

"So you two are now together! Right?" Rose asked excitedly.

Lila and Nathanael looked at each other both smiling and nodding.

Rose squealed "Yes!" "You have no idea how annoying it was getting! Seriously I thought you two were never going to admit your feelings!"

Lila rolled her eyes "Okay we get it Rose"

Rose giggled "sorry but I'm so happy now!" she skipped out of the store.

Lila watched Rose skip out and a mischievous sparkle appeared in her eyes. "Nathanael I think we should help out Rose and Juleka after all they have been so helpful to us" she smirked.

Nathanael looked at Lila and when he saw the mischievous sparkle in her eyes. He smiled. "I think that's a lovely idea"

Lila smiled and grabbed Nathanael's hand pulling him out of the storage closet "I'm glad you think so. Now let's make a plan"

They both laughed as they rushed to catch up with Rose.

I wasn't actually going to post this one as I'm not the happiest with how it turned out but I decided to post it as I'm not going to be active for a while with preparing for school which is starting again very soon :( I have a heap of more exams so I'll be studying more than writing anything.
