DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything!
*Amber's POV*
After Nina fell asleep, I ran down to the common room and called a meeting.
"Attention everyone. This is operation "Welcome back Fabian". We have to get everything planned for the party so we are ready. Nina really needs this."
"I'll make a banner and some decorations." Mara spoke from behind a huge history textbook.
"Good." I smiled at her.
"Boo, we can do food and drinks. Patricia, you can be in charge of music. Jerome, Alfie." I looked at the two boys wrestling on the floor. "Just stay out of the way."
They looked up, shrugged, and went back to Stupid Land. Population: 2.
"Alright. We have a day and a half. Get busy! Oh, and don't let Nina find out!"
Mara and Patricia ran upstairs to their room. Mara had huge sheets of paper to make the banner. She was really artistic like that. Patricia took to her laptop to make a rockin' playlist. While they did that, Mick and I went to the kitchen to see what we had.
Two bags of chips, a two liter of soda, and a bag of skittles. We were going to have to make do with what we had and what we had was pathetic. Then I remembered Nina's cookie recipe. She would always make them for our picnics. Better yet, they were Fabian's favorite.
I ran around the kitchen happy to know that the party wouldn't be a total flop. I gathered the ingredients, and put on my pink apron. The recipe was simple, but Nina added extra flour. These cookies were to die for.
I baked three batched and stored them, with the rest of the food in the pantry. After that, I went up to Mara and Patricia's room. The banner was drying, and the playlist was burnt onto a CD.
When I looked at the clock, it was 9:00. I didn't realize how long it took to bake cookies. I felt myself yawn.
"Good night, Boo! I'm going to bed!"
"Night, Babes." I kissed Mick goodnight and went to my room.
Nina was still asleep. I couldn't wait until Monday! Romeo meets his Juliet!
When I woke up the next morning, I knew I had a lot of work to be done for tomorrow. I unwrapped myself from the covers, and went to tinkle. When I came out of the washroom, I heard Trudy on the phone.
"Yes, that would be just perfect. Okay. 11:30? Great. Thank you very much." Trudy realized I was standing above her. "Amber, great news! Fabian is coming home today!"
I nearly fell over! There was so much to do! We had to decorate, set up the music, and get the food ready. On top of that, I had to do my hair, makeup, get dressed and do my nails all within... I stopped my thoughts to look at the clock …An hour and a half!
I answered Trudy quickly. "YAY!" Then I ran to Patricia and Mara's room. They were both still asleep. I picked up some dirty clothes that had been left on the floor and smacked them hard.
"AMBER! What are you doing?" Patricia rolled over and gave me devil eyes.
"Fabian isn't coming home tomorrow! He's coming home today! In less than two hours! Get up and ready, and bring the party things to the common room! NOW!"
I left the room assuming they were getting up. I went through the same scene with Mick, Jerome, and Alfie. They all got up and ready. We met in the common room 45 minutes later.
I came down in the purple dress I had bought when we went to town so many weeks ago. "Alright troops. Mara, but your decorations up. Patricia set your things up, Mick put the food out! I'm going to go get Nina."
Everyone scattered around the room, and I went to get Nina ready for Fabian.
When I walked in the room, Nina was in her bed writing in her diary. When she saw me, she put it away and sat up.
"Nina, this is a very special day! Get ready!"
"Amber, I don't want to!"
"Too bad!" I pulled Nina off the bed and sat her down at my vanity. I straightened her long curly hair, and put on some blush, mascara, and lip gloss. After that, I told her to put the romper on. But she wouldn't.
"Amber, what is this about?" She gave me an annoyed look.
"I already told you that silly. It's a surprise! Now put it on!"
Nina gave up and did as she was told. I finished it off with the fedora. "Now stay in here until I call for you."
"I wasn't planning on leaving in the first place." Nina thumped onto her bed.
I left the room and looked over the railing into the common room. "Very nice everyone! Mick, when will Trudy be back?"
"She left twenty minutes ago, so she should be back any second."
I walked down the steps, and looked out the window to see Trudy pull up. Fabian was in the passenger side. "They're here! Everyone, places!"
The house, minus Nina, stood in front of the door. Fabian walked in slowly with Trudy helping him from behind. He was wearing sweat pants, tennis shoes, and a blue long sleeve thermal.
"Hi guys." Fabian smiled and waved at us.
"Good to see you mate!" Mick hugged his roomie, and everyone gave him a pat on the shoulder.
Through the greetings, Fabian spoke again. "Where's Nina?"
"She's upstairs. I'm going to call her down now!" I was so excited! "Ready everyone?" My house mates nodded and lined up next to the stairs.
"NNNIIINNNNAAAAAA! Get your butt down here! NOW!" I screamed with all I had.
Nina opened the door to come downstairs. "Amber, I don't wan- Fabian!"
Nina ran down the stairs and hugged Fabian.
"Hey, beautiful." Nina had her hands around Fabian's neck, and Fabian had his hands around her waist. They had their foreheads pressed together and were staring at each other lovingly.
By that point, we were all crying. Everyone was home, safe and sound. We were a family again.
Fabian and Nina walked to the common room. I turned on the TV. The news was on. We all watched in horror. What started out as an amazing day, suddenly took a turn for the worst.
There you have it! What could they have seen on TV? Keep checking in for Chapter 20!
BTW: I thought of another story idea, so look out for that in the next few days to a week! (Whenever i finish this story!)
Thanks for all the reviews! Please keep it up.. THANKS!
