A/N: Thank you for the wonderful reviews! They do my little SU2 loving heart good! This chapter is very short but VERY pivotal

Kate couldn't explain exactly why she did what she did then. She snuck over to the partitian where Nick and Nancy were talking, and lowered herself behind it so she could hear. She ducked under a shelf.
"Thanks a lot for this, Nancy. I really appreciate it. If she ever found out I was doing this she would kill me! She's had some bad trouble with dates lately, so I just thought a secret admirer would cheer her up. I didn't know she'd go looking for Bob!"
"She's a DETECTIVE, silly," Nancy answered. "You should have known." She paused. "Anyway, nobody thinks anything of it. If someone sees me around here, I just say I'm looking for you."
"You're a good liar, Nancy. I respect that."
"Who's lying? I HAVE been looking for you! The flowered box of chocolates cost five, and the two cards cost three fifty." She held out her hand, and Nick filled it with dollars. "And, you owe me a favor."
"I know, I know, I owe you big. Thanks."
At this point, Kate was seething. She didn't know who to be madder at – Nick for making her think she had a secret admirer or herself for believing it.
"Hey!" A sharp little voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She straightened, banging her head against the shelf.
"Ow! What, Carl?"
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing. Hey, did you know anything about who Bob really was?"
"No." He suddenly looked excited. "Did you figure it out?"
"I sure did," Kate said, angry. "It was Nick. He felt sorry for me. Jerk."
Carl thought about this. It actually made sense.
"All that time, he let me think that I really had an admirer, that somebody really thought I was special, and it was just a trick!"
"Don't be silly, Kate," Carl said with a frankness rather unlike him. "Of course you do. It takes a true friend to do something that stupid and downright humiliating to make you feel better. You should feel special."
Kate smiled. The little link was making sense.
"Especially when he knows he's going to get a lot of flack from a certain Gnome!" He started off.
"No! Please, Carl. Not this time."
"Spoil all my fun!" He sulked away to play Dino Crisis with Torablip.
Nick tapped Kate on the shoulder, oblivious to the conversation that had just taken place. "Come on, there's been a sighting!" And they headed out to take care of the Klept.

And you all thought Nancy was a threat to the 'ship! She was helping it out all the time! Mwahahahaha!
Please review!
What will happen next????
