Disclaimer: I don't own anything from "So Weird," but if I did, it would
still be on the air. I would have at least known to start stock-piling
episodes for when it got rudely taken away from devoted fans. That said...
enjoy! Cheers!

A/N: Well, I got my reviews finally. About 47 of the same ones BUT I greatly appreciate them all! Thank you to everyone and I'll try not to disappoint.

Oh, and so it's clear for everyone, Carey is a Bell- Ned and Irene's eldest son. He was a regular during the third season with Annie when Fi left.

***Fi was looking everywhere for him. He'd snuck away some time ago and she wanted to thank him for her party. Wanted to hug him again. Fi had forgotten how great home made her feel and even more the people that filled her life. Guilt was gnawing at her because, besides her family and Carey, she hadn't kept up contact with anyone else. She chuckled to herself as she thought about how much she really had changed over the years.
She smiled as Tad came over for the third time to give her a hug. "Fi, it's so great to see you. I've missed having someone to think outside the box with." "Tad, you know I'm not like that—." "I know. But, could you humor me?" "Maybe later." "Hey guys, catching up?" Fi welcomed her mother's intrusion. Apparently, Molly had never forgotten the date she and Tad had gone on and when the two met again a few years later, Molly realized that it was time to start another relationship. Fi was happy for her mother.
Fi had thought she had seen everyone when a familiar blonde head poked through the kitchen door. The girl smiled at Fi and came to give her a big hug. "Annie! Look at you! You're so-- pregnant!" Annie laughed, "Yeah, I know. Isn't it great? And who would have thought I would have ever married a Bell?" Fiona felt her stomach leap to her throat and wanted to hurl. "Yep, we've been together since I graduated high school. Do you want to know how he told me he loved me? He carved our initials in the old tree by the pond. 'C.B. loves A.T.' right in the middle of the old knot." C.B.—Carey Bell.
Fiona vaguely remembered offering her congratulations as she ran through the kitchen and out the back door. People were on the porch but she didn't stop to register them. All she wanted to do was run. It was too much for her. All the emotions, feelings, information were too much for her. She ran and ran until her legs didn't want to work anymore, causing her to collapse in coughs. She couldn't catch her breath and then, when she realized where she was, she didn't want to.
Maybe her subconscious led her there. Maybe it was just her feet that guided her to the spot. Whatever the cause, she had to see if it was true. The old tree loomed in front of her as if a taunting classmate from her school days. She struggled to her feet and staggered over to the old, narralled tree. The knot was to the side of the trunk and came into view as she slowly walked around the oak. There, right in the middle of the knot, was the sincerest message ever written. "C.B. loves A.T." glared back at her.
***Carey didn't realize what was going on until Fiona had made it a good distance away from the house. He groaned audibly. "How could I do this to her? It's too much too soon." "What do you mean, bro?" "Think about it. When we'd come home from a tour, all we'd want to do was crash. Kick off our shoes and enjoy the couch for awhile." "I guess I hadn't though about it." "Fi's having to deal with a lot. Coming back to this house, seeing Tad here, seeing everyone here. Don't you think it'd be a little overwhelming?" "Very." "I gotta go talk to her."
He leapt off the porch and started after her. "What should I tell the people inside?" He yelled to Carey. Carey yelled over his shoulder, "Tell them the truth! I don't care. Just don't let them leave!" She had a good head start on him but he had a feeling he knew where she was going. Why had he let things get so overwhelming for her? He should have figured it out. But, knowing Fi as long as he had, he thought she could handle it. She was Fi and he knew nothing could faze her. Maybe she really had changed and she wasn't the same girl he'd fallen in love with. Shaking the thought from his head, he remembered the truth. She was the same Fi but even the strongest people have their moments. He should have been there for her, given her constant support, offered a loving arm, been there to pull her to the side when she got overwhelmed. Been there from the beginning and not let her leave his side. Ever.
Now that he knew that there was no one in her life, he was floating as he ran to her. Maybe, since she was going to be home now, it would be their chance to start their own chapter of life. At twenty-five, he was more than ready to settle down and marry someone. Marry Fi. He had a list of all his favorite things in a future wife and he'd written them into a song. The song had a simple title: Fi.
He found her by the oak tree by the pond. When they were teenagers, it was her favorite place to be besides the internet. He stopped far enough away to watch her, but she didn't know he was there. Watching her drop her head against her arms on the tree and break out in soft sobs caused his heart to ache. He couldn't take it. He walked up next to her and softly requested, "Fi, please stop crying." "Why?" she asked, turning her tear stained face to him. "Why should I?" He watched her make a frustrated gesture towards the tree and looked where she motioned. "Because, it'll be okay. The tree will heal. You will heal." He studied her skeptical gaze. Apparently, this had more to do with than a marred tree and overworked emotions. She turned her gaze back to the knot. "Right sentiment, wrong person." He mustered up his courage and took her hand. "Come with me."
A/N: It appears I may have chosen the wrong time to start posting fics. Hopefully, Fanfic. will get things figured out here shortly. Welp, I'm off. Enjoy and please review!
