SOPHIE P.O.V.

"Sophie!" Vertina yelled, "Stop playing with Iggy, it's a big night!" I groaned. Not more makeup!

Tonight was the night. Fitz's family was hosting a party at Everglen, and we all had to dress up.

Lately, whenever I was around Fitz, I got nervous and my cheeks would flush bright red. He would flash me one of his perfect smiles and I would just melt-

"Sophieee, daydreaming again. Probably about your boyfriend!" Vertina said, purposely using the b word.

"Vertina, no teasing Sophie. You know it took forever for them to finally admit that they liked each other!" Edaline said, walking in the room.

"Mommmm," I groaned as I ran into the bathroom, my face bright red. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said. Edaline came in with a huge teal gown. The one I wore…. "MOM!" I groaned.

Reluctantly, I put it on, admiring the bright color. Would Fitz recognize it? I hope not, that would be embarrassing. Hopefully not Biana either.

"Now for the makeup," Edaline said as she splashed a bunch of makeup on my face, making me look like a clown. As I walked downstairs, Grady watched me intently. I blushed, pointing to Edaline as she walked down the stairs behind me.

"Hello, Sophie. Nice dress." A voice called from the distance. "Sophie, you have a visitor. A nice one too." Sandor said, annoyed. I still couldn't see anyone though.

Then I saw a face, and slowly a body appeared under it. "Biana!" I screamed with joy, rushing over to give her a hug.

"What are you doing here?" She looked at my dress before responding.

"I'm taking you guys to my house!" she replied, pulling out a crystal from behind her back. She took one last look at my dress, before leaping us away.

FITZ P.O.V.

Another hug? How many people were coming to this party? Biana got to go get Sophie, why couldn't I? "Fitz? Are you alright?" My mom asked, giving me a small hug "you look pale". "I'm okay," I replied, heading toward the buffet.

RING! The front door went. My dad went over and opened it. In came my beautifully dressed sister, a formally dressed Grady, an elegant looking Edaline, and… I sucked in my breath. In came Sophie Foster, in a beautiful teal dress. She started walking with Edaline and Grady towards my parents.

They greeted each other politely but Sophie and Biana started backing away. Sophie looked around but her eyes rested on me. She started walking towards me. 20 feet, 15 feet, 10 feet, 5 feet… "Hi Fitz," she addressed. "Hi.." I started feeling awkward.

"And the Fitzphie begins!" a familiar voice said. Keefe and Ro came into view. Keefe was wearing a wrinkled looking suit, while Ro was wearing a magenta dress with battle armor on top. "Ugh," Sophie and I groaned simultaneously. I blushed, and for once I blushed brighter than she did. "Would you like something to eat?" I asked, trying to change the subject. Sophie must have noticed it, because she said "Yum, is that gelato?".

"Yeah, I wanted it because it reminded me of.."

"Oh, Florence, yeah, I remember that"

"It just reminds me of when we were on that mission…."

Sophie and I stared into each other's eyes. Her brown eyes shining like diamonds.

"Not to break this adorable Fitzphie moment up or anything, but I think we should stop talking. The dance is starting." Keefe said, breaking the silence.

Dex offered Biana her hand and she surprisingly took it. Keefe looked at Sophie and opened his mouth, but then glanced at me and shut it.

Thank you, I transmitted to Keefe. He winked, then pointed to Sophie. I looked at Sophie and took a deep breath.

A.N. In the Next Chapter, Sophie and Fitz will kiss!
