Psychic Fabian

"I cannot believe you talked me into this," Fabian growled as they walked up to the tent.

Amber grinned. "We needed you to do this and you agreed to it." She bounced off to where Alfie was waiting, waving at the Fabian and Nina.

"Yeah Fabian," Nina said, giggling at her boyfriend. "You did agree."

"So? I still look ridiculous." And he did. Fabian was wearing a psychic's uniform: a long orange-and-yellow robe and a purple turban on his head. He was meant to portray a psychic for the fair that the school was hosting, and since he hadn't volunteered for anything, he had been given a role.

Alfie was a magician, Amber his assistant, Jerome and Mara clowns –they lost a bet –Eddie and Patricia a stunt act, Joy the ticket booth operator, and Fabian and Nina were the psychics. Nina had a brightly colored scarf wrapped around her head, a hippie skirt, and several metal bracelets on her wrists. She actually looked like a psychic, while Fabian just looked dumb.

As they took their spots around the school grounds, the Anubis residents prepared to put on a show. Eddie and Patricia had practiced their routine for weeks, Jerome and Mara were ready to make the children laugh with their jokes –though Mara had decided that a few of them had to be educational –and Alfie had perfected his magic act with Amber's help. Fabian however, was not in the least bit ready.

"Come on," Nina said. "Just think about how silly Jerome looks and you'll feel better about your robe-thingy."

Fabian sulked in his chair. "I'm wearing a dress, Nina. I'm a guy wearing one of your gran's dresses."

Nina sighed. "Okay, first of all, it's a muumuu. Second of all, it doesn't belong to Gran. It's Trudy's. Third of all, we only have to do this for today and we all made Alfie and Jerome promise not to take pictures of you. So let's do this."

Fabian's sigh could've been heard across the grounds, but he went ahead and opened the curtain on their tent. Nina smiled. At least he was seeing some sense. Their first customer showed up a few minutes later, a little girl and her exhausted mother.

"Mummy, look!" the little girl cried. "Psychics! Can I go, please, please, please?!"

The older woman sighed and consented to letting her daughter go to the two psychics. The little girl sat down in front of Nina, her brown pigtails swinging happily. Nina smiled at the little girl.

"Hi," she said. "I'm Nina. What's your name?"

"Jenny," she chirped. "Can you see my future?"

Nina took the little girl's hand. She had spent the last two days researching palm-reading, so she thought she could figure it out. Amber had made Nina try it out on her, so at least she had some practice. By looking at the girl's hand, Nina thought that Jenny would live a long, normal life, but she decided to add a few details.

"Well, Jenny, it looks like you're going to live a very long, happy life. You'll meet your prince charming sometime in your twenties, give or take. I really wish I had your future, Jenny. It looks good."

Jenny smiled. "Wow, thanks Nina! Bye!" The little girl slid off her chair and bounced back to her mom. Both teens laughed as she gripped her mom's arm and pulled her away, giving one last wave to the 'psychics.'

The next few hours passed rather quickly. No one seemed to want to come to Fabian for their reading, though. Everyone went to Nina. Eddie and Patricia stopped by after their second show, telling Fabian and Nina about the amazing time they'd had during their tightrope act. After they left for their next act, Amber and Alfie showed up. Alfie had gotten better at his magic show, and lots of people seemed to like it.

When they left, Fabian and Nina went back to their psychic act. Three more people came to see 'the Great Nina,' leaving Fabian to stay in his little corner, alone. Nina was busy with a girl who wanted to know if she should break up with her boyfriend when a teenage couple came in.

They looked over the group in the tent and made their way to Fabian. Fabian felt a little wary about giving them a reading, but he was posing as a psychic, so he had to. The girl gently pushed her boyfriend onto the chair and stood beside him. The guy had Fabian's dark brown hair, and the girl Nina's light brown waves. Fabian looked at the two before introducing himself.

"I'm Fabian," he said. "Who are you guys?"

"Falin," the guy said as the girl said "Nathalie."

"Okay," Fabian said. There was something familiar about the two, but he couldn't place it. "Um, what about your future do you want to know?"

Falin blushed slightly. "Um, can you figure out if the girl I like likes me back?"

Fabian tilted his head. He had thought that Falin was dating Nathalie by the way the two had been acting. But who was he to judge who others liked? As Fabian instructed the guy to place his hands on the crystal ball, he glanced at Nathalie. Yep, Fabian recognized the look that she was giving Falin. It was the same look Nina had given them before they had started dating. As Fabian started his 'reading' he saw Falin give Nathalie a matching look. At least the psychic reading was easy for these two.

"Um, the universe has spoken," Fabian tried, looking at the crystal ball. "The answer is, uh, yes. She likes you."

Falin smiled. "Thanks." He got up and started walking toward the front of the tent. Before they left, however, Nathalie turned around.

"Um, Fabian? Lose the dress and the turban. I think that'll help you out with the whole being-alone-today thing," she suggested, tossing her light brown hair over her shoulder.

Fabian smiled as he reached up and removed the turban. "Thanks."

As the happy duo left the tent, Fabian watched them leave. There was something about them that reminded him so much of him and Nina, but he couldn't figure out what. It might have been how they acted towards each other.

As another person stepped into the tent, Fabian smiled. Maybe this psychic thing wasn't so bad.

Heehee, Fabian's psychic! And I kinda used the names from another story I've written, House of Reunion. Eddie was a writer who used Anubis House as his inspiration and redid their names. Nina was Nathalie and Fabian was Falin. So I think you can kind of figure out why I decided to reuse the names. If not, then I guess I can tell you: they're supposed to be like early Fabina! What would they be called? Natalin? Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks for reading!
