(I don't own anyone. Not even myself. Lol)

Fiona walked down the hallway of the large house, barefoot. "Its great to be home," she thought warmly. She had come home to visit for Spring Break and was looking forward to spending time with her family. This included not only Molly and Jack but also the Bell family and Annie.

She walked down the stairs with a smile on her face. "Hi, baby," her mom said when Fi appeared in the dining room.

"Hey," she replied reaching into the refrigerator for a glass of orange juice.

"You don't know how glad I am that you're home," Molly said putting down her guitar.

"I think I do, Mom. Every time you see me it's like I've been gone for nine years," Fi said laughing.

"Well I can't help it! You're the only daughter I've got!" Molly said, getting up to hug the girl with long brown hair.

"You forgot about Jack," Fi joked.

Molly smiled and shook her head. It was good to joke around with her daughter again. It was nice with Annie around, but it just wasn't the same as having her true blood with her.

"Can I take this up to my room?" Fi asked, holding up the glass of orange juice.

"Sure baby, go ahead." Molly said smiling at her daughter. How good it was for her to be home.

Fi walked back up the stairs feeling the chill of the hardwood floor on her toes. She had intended to go to her room but she heard the sound of laughter in the room one door down. She peeked into the room and saw Clu attacking Annie with tickles.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Fi asked with a smile on her face even though she could feel her heart flaming inside.

"Clu…tickle…help me, Fi!" Annie said through giggles.

Fi turned around and walked back to her room. She couldn't stand to see them in such contact even though it was totally innocent. That's how it was ever since she had come home. As soon as she saw him when she had walked into the house the first day home, she could felt her heart skip a beat. At first she had thought it was a strange case of indigestion, or maybe even an evil elf that had taken over her heart. But after a few hours home, she realized for the first time ever, that she was in love with Clu Bell. It hurt her to see the way that he flirted with Annie all the time. She could tell that there was attraction between them. The weirdest thing though, was that every time she saw them together, her heart burned in this funny way and she got hot all over. "Must be some weird love thing," she thought to herself. She lay flat on her bed while the burning in her heart died down. "I've known Clu for as long as I can remember, why do I love him now?" she thought to herself.

Jack walked down the hallway passing his sister Fiona's room and caught a glance of her laying flat on her bed. "I wonder what's up with her," he thought. He decided not to bother her, for there was always something going on with her. He walked then past Annie's room into his own room that he was sharing with Clu.

Clu was home for Spring Break also, and ever since Clu had come, Jack had this funny feeling around him. Jack had avoided Clu to get away from this feeling. "I don't know what is up with me…I mean it's just Clu. Clu who I used to get into trouble with, Clu who helped me ask out Cindy in the 8th grade. Clu…Clu! My best friend." Jack sat down at his desk and stared out the window.

In the meantime, Clu had stopped tickling Annie and was sitting there listening to her sing the new song that she had written.

"Her voice is so beautiful," he thought. "She's beautiful too." He closed his eyes trying to get the thought out of his head. It was okay to flirt with her in that playful way of his, but it wasn't right to think of her like that. If he had true feelings for her, it wouldn't work for them anyway. He had been away at college and the girls there were a lot different than the sweet and naïve Annie.

She had finished her song and was staring at him for input. "That was sweet Annie. Totally great!" Clu said enthusiastically.

"You think?" Annie said with that sweet smile of hers.

"Dude, I was touched," Clu said.

Annie laughed at him. "Well I'm not finished with it yet, but when I am, I'll let you know, since you were so…touched," Annie said.

"I'll be looking forward to that," Clu said rising off the bed to go into his room. He left a singing Annie to work.

He walked into his room to see Jack staring out of the window. Clu wondered what he was looking at and stood behind Jack's chair, staring also. "Dude, what are we looking at?" Clu whispered placing a hand on Jack's shoulder.

Jack nearly jumped out his chair for he didn't know that Clu had been standing behind him. The area on his shoulder where Clu had placed his hand was creating a chill that creeped down Jack's back. Jack felt his heart start to beat faster, faster, faster. He could feel the fluttery feeling come to his stomach.

"Man, you okay?" Clu asked Jack, concerned. "You look like you're about to puke."

"No…I'm fine. I…I just need some air," Jack stated walking quickly out of the room.

Clu watched Jack practically run out of the room. "What's up with him?" Clu wondered.

Jack walked through the house and out the front door. He stood on the porch staring out into the forest. He shivered but it wasn't because of the evening chill. Had he thought that Clu's confused little face was actually…cute? "No, no," Jack thought shaking his head. "I'm not like that. I know I'm not. Never have, never will be," Jack thought, trying to convince himself. "I'm not. I'm not…"

Jack stared out into the forest surrounding the home. He could have sworn that he could see a red light floating out behind the trees. He squinted his eyes, not believing what he saw. The light suddenly disappeared. "What the…." Jack said to himself trailing off. He heard the door being opened and turned around. It was Clu.

"What's up, man? I just wanted to see if you were okay," Clu said, concerned.

"I'm fine," Jack mumbled hastily.

"Oh, that's good cuz I just…" Clu started, but it was too late, Jack had already run back into the house. "If I didn't know better, I'd think that he was running away from me," Clu thought out loud.

"Who was running away from you?" Molly asked.
