Eddie ran upstairs, and knocked on Patricia's door. All the girls were inside, they were anxiously talking about Nina. Patricia was sitting on the bed with her headphones on her head.
Typical Yacker, Eddie thought.

"Joy, Fabian needs you for something. Bring your laptop," Eddie said urgently.

"How's Nina?" Amber asked, she was almost in tears, her best friend was clearly distraught about more than just her hand.

"She's a bit better, Fabian's with her," Eddie's tone calmed Amber a bit.

Joy walked out of the room with her laptop.

"So what was that all about?" Patricia asked, clearly jealous. "Girls don't just say a guy's name in her sleep and have it not mean anything," Patricia snapped.

"Look Yacker, I'll explain everything later. I have to take care of something first." Eddie turned for the door.

"Yeah, Nina," Patricia mumbled. "It's her you really like, isn't it?!" she spat.

Eddie stopped, turning to look at Patricia, there was hurt written on his face for a split second before he shut the door.

"Patricia!" KT couldn't believe Patricia actually believed that.

"What? He does, you can tell just by looking at them."

KT crossed her arms and sat in front of Patricia on her bed. "No, because you don't remember what he said to you when you were on Team Evil."

Patricia looked like she didn't care, but deep down she wanted to know what she was talking about.
KT continued.

"The look he gave you was enough to make anyone believe he was in love with you, but then he tried to remind you of all your memories together. He asked if you still cared, and said if you didn't, it might as well be the end of everything. He doesn't look at Nina the same way he looks at you," KT paused for a second, hoping that would sink in. "So what, they have a connection. Just because people have a connection, doesn't mean that that's who they'll end up with." KT tried to reassure her. "And what you just said to him, it really hurt him. I saw his face."

"You think so?" Patricia asked her.

"Yes, we know so," Amber said, joining KT. "It's you he likes. Obvi…" she rolled her eyes as if this was common knowledge.

Patricia smiled, and playfully pushed Amber.

"I need to go talk to him," Patricia started to get up.

"I don't think you should right now, wait for him to calm down a bit first," Willow suggested. "Otherwise you two might end up fighting."

"Yeah, we do that a lot…" she said, a bit of humor in her tone.

"So, what do you need me for?" Joy asked, standing by the side of the couch.

"I need you to find Nina's family tree," Fabian said, scooting away from Nina so Joy could sit there.

Joy sat down, her laptop on her lap, and quickly opened it. Before she went to work, she turned to Nina.

"Are you okay?" she asked, nothing but concern in her voice.

Nina slightly nodded. "Yeah…I think so, thank you Joy," she smiled genuinely at her.

Joy returned her smile.
Then she went to the website she went to last term, where she found out her and Willow shared their family tree.

Eddie looked at the screen from the back of the couch.

Joy found the Martin's family tree. Her parents were Judy and Markus Martin. They were Archaeologists in Egypt. There were pictures of them in front of pyramids and tombs on the website….
Nina was staring at her parent's faces; she could vaguely remember the sound of her parents laughing.
Fabian recognized Nina's Gran, and looked over on Judy's side of the family and saw a name he also knew.

"Uh…Nina?"

"Hmm?" she said, continuing to look at the pictures.

"Look at your mother's side of the family tree," he said in astonishment.
She trained her eyes on Judy's side of the family tree.

Judy Martin's mother was Sarah Frobisher-Smythe.

"Sarah?!" Nina said in bewilderment. "She was my…my grandmother?"

"Not only that, but you're related to KT as well." Eddie piped in.

"Two Frobisher's…" Fabian quietly said. "That would explain why the picture in the locket looks so much like you."

"So that means Robert is you great-grandfather, like KT," said Eddie.

"Then why isn't KT the Chosen One?" Nina asked.

"The Chosen One has to be a descendant of Amneris, right? KT's not, because Robert isn't a descendant. That would mean Louisa Frobisher-Smythe is…"

The four of them stared at the screen a moment.

"And what happened to my parents?" Nina asked, looking down at the keyboard.

"Fabian and I will see if we can find anything, Nina," Joy said. "You should rest, you had a very busy day," Joy patted Nina's shoulder gently.

"Yeah, just rest Nina. We'll figure it out, don't worry," Fabian and Joy got off the couch and went to the table to continue their research.

"I'm going to go get KT, and explain things to her," Eddie pushed off of the back of the couch, and went back up the stairs.

Only hearing Joy and Fabian's hushed conversation, and keys tapping, Nina was able to start sorting through everything in her head. Her hand stung, but it wasn't too bad at the moment. What needed rest was her mind, but she couldn't get it to settle down.
In one day, she found out her parents were not in fact killed in a car accident. Eddie was the best friend she lost when she was a young girl, who just so happened to be her protector. Sarah and KT were both relatives she never knew she had….

Eddie returned a short while later, and sat on the chair next to the couch. Quietly, he said, "I told her about what we've figured out. She wants to talk to you, but I told her to let you rest."

"Thanks, Eddie," Nina whispered.

Eddie nodded, and started to get up.

"Eddie?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah?"

She held her hand out. "Friends forever, right?"
Eddie looked at her hand and smiled, taking her hand just the way they did when they were kids. They became so different over the years, and spent so long apart that best friends wouldn't be the right wording for them right now now.

"Forever."

"How are you feeling, Nina?" Trudy asked her, setting a bowl down on the table.

"Better, thanks," she put some food on her plate, though she wasn't particularly hungry.

Skylar was quietly eating his dinner again, not bothering to talk to anyone. KT watched him, wondering what his problem was.

Amber sat loyally next to Nina, Fabian on her other side, and Eddie next to him. She had a rough day, and they wanted her to know they were there for her.
Dillan looked up and Amber and smiled, she grinned and looked down at her plate. Alfie glared at Dillan, but he didn't notice.

Everyone ate in silence; Skylar was the first one to leave the table, expectantly. KT had had enough of his attitude, and pushed her chair away from the table and went after him.

"Hey!" she shouted, he was already halfway up the stairs.

"What?" he replied back, venom in his voice.

"What's your problem? Why are you being so rude to everyone?"

Skylar scoffed, shaking his head and continued up the stairs.
"Ugh!" KT groaned, balling her hands into fists and re-entering the dining room. "What is that guys' problem?!"

Everyone stared at her with raised eyebrows.

"What? Doesn't he get under your guys' skin, too?"
Patricia inhaled, looking back at her plate without saying a word, even though she wanted to.

"Yeah, he does mine. He's the worst roommate you could possibly ask for," Dillan grumbled, using his fork to point toward the door. "The guy doesn't even know me, and he treats me as if I'm some sort of villain," He shook his head, and stood up. "I gotta go work on the French homework," he said glumly, his shoulders slumped. "See you guys later."

Sibuna waited until he was out of the room.

"After dinner, we need to have another Sibuna meeting. There's a lot we need to tell you," Eddie said, glancing at Nina who was looking down at the food on her plate, pushing her food around.
