"Can you remind me why we're doing this, again?" Lizzie asked, leaning back against the arm of the living room couch and craning her neck to look at her step-brother, who was currently nestled between her legs (which were wrapped around his lower back in a rather… suggestive manner) and hovering above her, his face mere centimeters from her own.

She unconsciously swallowed.

Edwin, in the meantime, sighed in exasperation, but explained anyway.

"Like I said before… if we want Teddy gone, we'll have to go to extremes because obviously… dropping subtle hints just isn't working. You dig?"

Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"So… what? We break his heart?" She inquired, raising an eyebrow.

Edwin smirked.

"Precisely." He said, "And hopefully, when he sees his fiancée -" Lizzie visibly cringed at that, "- making out with her step-brother of all people… he'll be brokenhearted enough to take a hike and leave. Or just weirded out. Either way, the result will be the same: no more Teddy."

"Which means you'll finally be able to go back to being Derek's puppet." Lizzie quipped.

Edwin grimaced. "Something like that. Now, uh… we have to make this look legitimate, so if I… umm… touch you the wrong way or anything like that… can you wait until after Teddy leaves to hit me?"

Lizzie opened her mouth to object, but changed her mind about midway through and settled for a forceful and reluctant, "Fine. But I feel anything -- anything at all -- I swear I'll castrate you myself."

The dark-haired boy winced at the thought, but nodded in agreement. Then he inched forward, pushing his step-sister further into the crook of the sofa and causing Lizzie to make a face of discomfort.

"Do we really have to do this, Edwin?" She asked, second thoughts beginning to swarm through her head. "I mean… it's really risky. We could get in a lot of trouble if my mom caught us. Or Casey, for that matter."

"They won't." Edwin assured her. "Casey's out with Truman and probably won't be home until around ten, and as for Nora…" His dark eyes twinkled mischievously, "She won't be back for a while. I made sure of that."

Lizzie furrowed her brow. "What do you mean? What did you do?"

Edwin shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that we won't get caught. Kapeesh?"

Before the McDonald girl could even reply, the doorbell rang. The two step-siblings stared at one another, wide-eyed, for a few seconds before Edwin snapped out of it and swooped down, pressing his lips against hers. He felt Lizzie go rigid, and was about to break the kiss and apologize when her arms suddenly slid around his neck and she started to respond to it, kissing him back with such force that it almost left him stunned, although it probably shouldn't have given the fact that it was Lizzie and she was, by nature, an aggressive and dominant and demanding young girl.

Both heard the door swing open moments later, but by that point, the two were far too consumed with what they were doing to pay any heed to their surroundings. Edwin groaned when Lizzie's tongue darted out to graze his bottom lip, silently begging for entry while she tugged gently at his hair. He complied without question and allowed his hands to wander -- down her arms and sides, over her hips (she sucked in a sharp breath when his short, blunt nails dug into her bottom, and arched), kneading her inner and outer thighs before finally ending at her knees, hooking his fingers under them and encouraging her to wrap her legs even tighter around him.

She did, and he smiled before breaking the kiss and burying his face in the crook of her neck instead. He could hear her panting against his ear and drew back briefly, gazing down at her flushed face with a newfound sense of admiration. She stared up at him through lidded eyes, clouded over with… lust? He wasn't entirely sure, but it certainly seemed that way.

Just as he was about to resume where he'd left off, however, Lizzie sat up and peered around.

"He's not here anymore. Did he leave?"

"No." Edwin frowned. "His shoes are still here. Our plan didn't work." He let out a frustrated yell. "WHY? Why didn't it work? It was infallible!"

"Clearly." Lizzie deadpanned, unwrapping her legs and pushing him away. "Maybe he didn't like me after all. Maybe it was just all just a ploy to get to Derek."

"Good." Edwin blurted without thinking. When his step-sister looked at him strangely, he cleared his throat and changed the subject. "Time for Plan B! Go get Marti and assume your positions!"

"Right." Lizzie nodded and got up, and Edwin watched as she hurriedly adjusted her clothes and hair before bounding up the stairs to retrieve the youngest Venturi.

When she was out of eyesight, Edwin sighed loudly and fell back against the sofa, licking his now-swollen lips and subconsciously savoring the strawberry-flavored residue left behind from Lizzie's lipgloss.

"Wow." He murmured, still a bit breathless from the make out session, before reaching over and grabbing the remote from off the coffee table.

As he turned on the TV, he couldn't help but grin lazily as he thought about what had just happened between him and Lizzie.

Things… were about to change.

He'd make sure of it.

I choose to believe that this is what happened off screen, and what WE saw was merely Plan B.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
