A/N- Another chapter for this story, I have to admit that I do like splitting up Keffy and pairing them with others at times :P

Emily frowned as she looked at the poster taped onto the wall opposite her.

"Emily? Earth to Emily? Anyone home in there?"

The red head turned her head and looked over the table, where Effy was gazing at her with a look amusement on her face.

"Pardon?"

Emily asked, causing Effy to laugh.

"I was asking if you thought we should make a start on this English essay now or not?"

"Oh…sure I guess."

Effy arched an eyebrow in interest and Emily resisted the urge to squirm as she felt the brunette's clear blue eyes.

"You guess? What's wrong?"

"Nothing really, but….that poster."

Emily stated, pointing at the poster she'd been looking at. Effy looked over her shoulder at the poster before looking back at Emily and shrugging.

"What about it?"

"Well….We're not supposed to have another Love Ball are we? So why are we having another one? And who the hell is organising it?"

Effy just laughed and shook her head.

"What's wrong with having another chance to have a dance and a drink? Anyway I would imagine its Cook who's organising it. Neither me or him got to have a Love Ball, probably just his way of having one, he always one for the direct, straightforward approach."

"I guess, I just….the memories you know."

Effy nodded.

"The Love Ball was the first time you and Naomi admitted you loved each other, I know that. It's going to drag up memories for you but you will go…won't you?"

Emily dragged her gaze away from the poster and back to Effy.

"I…I don't know"

"Oh come on, you've got to go. It'll be a chance to unwind and everything. Look, I'll tell you what, we can go together if it'll make you happier about going."

Effy smiled as Emily frowned and looked at Effy in confusion.

"We could go together? Effy, you're dating my sister."

Effy shrugged.

"You're point? Katie'll be cool with it, honest."

Emily narrowed her eyes slightly as she took in Effy's apparent look of innocence.

"You're up to something Effy."

"Am I?"

"Yes, you're always up to something."

"Ah I see. I suppose, from time to time I do little things that help people's lives."

Effy explained, looking calm and collected.

"And now?"

Emily asked and watched as Effy smiled lazily, leaning back in her chair.

"Now? Now I'm just trying to cheer a friend up with a night out with the hottest girl out there."

This time it was Emily who raised an eyebrow in interest as she felt a laugh threatening to escape her throat.

"Careful Effy, you won't be able to get through the doors if your ego keeps growing like that."

Effy laughed and shook her head in amusement.


Katie emerged from the shower, water dripping down her back from her hair, with a towel wrapped around her body. Humming slightly to herself she padded down the corridor towards her and Effy's room, she loved it when she had the day off college but missed Effy and wished she had the same day Effy as she did. Still humming to herself she opened the door before crying out as she found Naomi in the room, staring out the window.

"For fucks sake Campbell! What are you fucking doing in here?"

The blonde was silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before turning round and looking at Katie.

"Do you think me and Emily are supposed to be together Katie?"

Naomi asked and, internally, Katie sighed. The blonde's voice was low and just plain depressed.

"What makes you think you're not?"

Katie asked after a moment, entering the room properly and moving towards the wardrobe.

"Maybe we aren't meant to be together; maybe that's why we ended up breaking up."

"You didn't break up you dozy dyke, you were on a break. There's a difference."

Naomi laughed bitterly.

"Don't be dense Katie; it doesn't suit you, not anymore. You know it was a break up."

Unseen by the blonde Katie rolled her eyes as she flicked through her section of the clothes that were hanging up.

"Ok then, Emily broke up with you. She still loves you though, surely you must see that?"

"Must I? I know I still love, god knows I do know, but how can you be so sure."

"Because I know Emily you idiot, she's my sister, and my twin to beat that, I know her. Probably better then she knows herself. She loves you. Always has, always will. Nothing's going to change that."

Katie looked round and shot a smile at Naomi, who still looked defeated.

"Hey listen, Naomi, everything will be ok."

Katie stated as she moved away from the wardrobe and headed over to the blonde, taking her by the shoulders and looking into her eyes.

"Emily will take you back Naomi, she will. You two are destined to be together, everyone knows it. So chin up ok, everything will work out in the end.."

Naomi smiled and managed a nod.

"Thanks Katie, you're…you're right.

Katie smiled and let go of Naomi.

"Good, now piss off so I can get dressed alright."
