A/N: Here it is Crimsons 'plan'.



















Everyone nodded and took off towards the Toretto's. This time they ordered Mexican food since everyone was sick of pizza. They crowded into the living room and watched Family Feud where they argued over the answers. On the television Louie Anderson asked the next question. 'Name something that is always on a mans mind.'

"Sex!" every guy in the room said. The girl's looked at them and they shrugged. The number one answer on the survey was indeed sex.

"Great minds think alike," Ebony said sarcastically.

"Hey, I resent that," Vince smiled at her. She shrugged.

The next question was name something that most men notice on a women when they first go out with her. All the guys said eyes and sure enough that was it.

"Wow, there's a shock," Letty mumbled.

"Hey, we aren't all perverted you know. We may think about sex but we like a girls eyes," Chaz added, finishing his food.

Carissa laughed, "Without looking at me then tell me my eye color."

"You have your cat eye contacts in at the moment, doll," he told her without turning his head.

"Very impressive," she clapped, laughing, before she kissed his cheek.

"Of course I know my baby," he said, pulling her closer. "If I didn't you'd hurt me."

Carissa only laughed.

"I know Ebony's are a gorgeous forest green and Crimson's are a reddish brown," Vince said, sipping his beer and watching TV. Ebony blushed a bit turning the color of her hair.

Crimson smiled and looked from Vince to Ebony. "Hey, Vince. Help me take this stuff into the kitchen since you're done."

He shrugged and stood up, grabbing his plate along with Serena's, Letty's, and Ebony's. Leon held his up and Vince laughed. "Do it yourself." He glanced at Ebony. "Do you need another Snapple or something?"

"Umm-," she looked at her empty one. "Yeah, that'd be nice."

"What flavor?"

"Anything's fine," she smiled.

"I could use a beer," Leon suggested as he walked past him.

"Your legs aren't broken, move your ass," Vince told him and went into the kitchen.

Crimson smiled as he entered. She threw the paper plates into the trashcan. "I see you've taken a liking to Ebony now."

"No…not that way," he said quickly, throwing what he had into the garbage.

"It's okay, Vince. I think it's good that you like her. She seems to trust you, which she does seldom, especially towards men. But she likes you."

"That's nice," he said digging through the fridge and grabbing a Snapple for Ebony. He looked at the label and nodded. "Rasberry's pretty good. She'll like this."

"See…," Crimson gestured at him. "Sample A…you do like her.

"Crimson-"

She cut him off with a smile and held up her hand. "I think that you should take her out tomorrow. Go do something fun with her. You can't take me out because they know I'm here…they don't know about Ebony. Take her out and show her a good time."

Vince took a deep breath. He couldn't believe she was so mellow about this. Crimson knew he liked Ebony but wasn't the least bit upset. Almost like she planned for it to turn out like that…the thought hit him. She had planned it like this. So stupid he didn't see it to begin with. Crimson did like him, but she had known Ebony did as well and wanted Ebony to finally come out of her shell and go out. It had been years since she went out. Not since Xander's death six years ago. Crimson had planned it all. She must have gone out with him to make sure he was an okay guy for Ebony. Now he realized it all

Vince grinned at her as he realized her plan, he pointed at her and gave her a sly look, "You little trickster. You sly little fox. I should have known."

Crimson grinned, knowing he had figured it out. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before Vince. I mean I do like you, but Ebony likes you more. She actually liked you longer than you think."

Vince blinked and frowned, "Huh?"

She nodded, "Yup, Jesse mentioned you to her a lot. She saw you a few times at the races years ago and developed a crush. Xander became jealous and stopped letting her go. That's why when we came here I decided to get your attention to make sure you wouldn't hurt Ebony."

Vince's mouth dropped and he shook his head, "Don't tell me you hit my car on purpose."

She leaned against the counter, "Sorry I had too."

He only laughed. "You had me fooled completely. Normally I'd be upset about this, but losing a girl for a girl isn't such a bad deal. Are you sure Crimson? I don't want to hurt you."

She shook her head. "You're not hurting me Vince. This was my idea remember? Besides it'll be nice for Ebony. I trust that you won't break her heart."

He nodded and scratched his head. "Alright, I'll take her out tomorrow. Maybe we can catch a movie and drive down to the beach for a moonlit walk or somethin'."

"Since when are you Mr. Romantic?" She teased.

"Don't you dare tell anyone that I have a romantic side. I'll lose my reputation around here as the tough guy."

She laughed, "I won't. We better go back in there before they send a search party." She walked past him into the living room, Vince behind her. She sat back down on the couch and gestured with her eyes for him to sit next to Ebony.

He took a deep breath. Here goes nothin', he thought as he approached her. Ebony looked up at him with a small smile. He returned it and handed her the Snapple. Vince glanced once more at Crimson and she gave him a small nod. He cleared his throat. "Is this seat taken?"

Ebony's eyes widened a bit and she blushed, "No, you can sit here," she scooted a bit to make room. He sat next to her and looked at Crimson. She pursued her lips and gave him a what-are-you-waiting-for look. Vince felt his heart hammer in his chest. He leaned back and put his arm around the back of the couch. He slowly inched it down so no one would notice until his arm was fully around Ebony's shoulders. She looked at his arm as it hit her shoulders and glanced at Vince. He pretended not to notice and looked at the TV. She smiled and relaxed, leaning near him. Crimson nodded in approval.
