A/N: Well, here's chapter five! I hope you all like it! This chapter will be third person POV. I hope it doesn't suck.

Chapter Five: The Games of Love Part One

It didn't take Watson long to find where Vanessa St. Clair lived. It might've been a few days, but that's not real long. She lived at 333 A Harper Lane [A/N: I'm not sure if that's an actual street in London.]

Watson knocked on the door.

"Yes," asked a plump, kindly looking old lady.

"Is this the home of Miss Vanessa St. Clair," inquired Watson.

"Yes this is. What would you be wanting, mister," she replied.

Watson handed the woman a card, and said, "I'd like to speak to Miss St. Clair, please."

The woman took Watson's card, and left, and Vanessa came to the door herself.

"Yes, doctor," she asked.

"I'd like to speak to you about Miss Melissa Hunter," he said.

"Come in," Vanessa said, leading Watson into her flat.

Through Vanessa, Watson learned pretty much everything anyone would ever want to know about Melissa.

"Well, if that's all, I think I should get going now," said Watson, making a move to get up.

"Dr. Watson, wait," said Vanessa.

"What is it, Miss St. Clair," asked Watson, in confusion.

"Well, I just thought how nice it would be if Melissa and Mr. Holmes ever got married, and then I thought well, maybe between the two of us, it could happen," said Vanessa.

"How do you suppose we do that," asked Watson.

"I think I can find a way," replied Vanessa, slyly.

So, Vanessa, and Watson decided to find ways for Melissa Hunter and Sherlock Holmes to start a relationship. On Friday of that week, Watson and Vanessa agreed to meet at a certain park with Holmes and Melissa, and then they'd never show up. Or at least, not where Holmes or Melissa could see them, anyway.

Melissa and Holmes were right on time. They didn't see Watson or Vanessa.

"Mr. Holmes, what are you doing here," asked Melissa, when she saw Holmes.

"I'm supposed to meet Watson here. What are you doing here, Miss Hunter," Holmes responded.

"I was supposed to meet my friend, Vanessa St. Clair here," said Melissa, quite confused.

"Well, Miss Hunter, I believe that it's safe to say that we have been set up by our friends, although I do not see what the point is," Holmes remarked thoughtfully.

"I have a pretty good guess, but I'm not going to tell you, because it's a secret," giggled Melissa.

"Well, since it's quite obvious that neither of our friends are going to be here, we should leave, and since this is no time of night for a young lady such as yourself to be walking around London, I'll escort you home," said Holmes, acting like the gentlemen he at times could be.

"Why, thank you, Mr. Holmes," said Melissa, going a few feet to call for a cab.

Hidden in the bushes, Watson, and Vanessa smiled at each other. Their plan was going perfectly to plan, so far.

A/N: I'll write more, but I didn't an insanely long chapter five, so the conclusion to Watson's and Vanessa's plan will be in the next chapter, or a few more. I welcome ideas for what Watson and Vanessa will set up next. Please r/r!
