A/N: Well hello guys … again. My school term starts tomorrow (well, technically today seeing as it's 00:01) so I'll be updating about once every 2 days or so. I know it'll be slower, but hopefully, I'll put up somewhat longer chapters. It also means I can get a chance to let me beta, Christina, to actually beta them! Well, please review. I really want some email … I'm a lonely girl and hardly get any so.. Please? I'll give you cookies and a Rooney album if you do?!

*^*^*^*

Michael's POV

"Michael, I need you to keep Mia busy while I have a chat with Tom." Lilly barged into my room yelling. I should really take that bobby pin off of her. And why does she always yell?

"Why?" I asked her. Hey, it's not like I need a reason to keep Mia busy, but once she said 'Tom' I became interested. Since when did Lilly need to talk to MY friend?

"Oh … no reason …" Yeah. Like I'll believe that. I guess Mia and I need to do some spying tonight. Ok, I'll have to persuade Mia. She doesn't like spying on Lilly. I think she thinks Lilly's going to yell at her if she catches her.

"Whatever. Yeah sure I'll keep Mia busy" I smirked. Winking at her.

"Good" she said as she walked out of my room. "Oh, and Michael?"

"Yeah?"

"No funny stuff."

Damn it.

*^*^*^*

Mia's POV:

"Mia you're going to hang with Michael today."

"W-What? Why?" … Eh, like I care.

"I have something to discuss with Tom and I need privacy. Michael's not busy – as usual- so he'll hang with you while I sort this thing out." She replied, taking a seat on the poufy beanbag next to me.

"All right" I said a little too brightly for Lilly's liking as she shot me this look that clearly said I-know-what-you're-thinking. Now that's creepy in itself, as Lilly doesn't have any idea that I'm totally, head over heels in love with her older brother. Come to think of it, HE doesn't know I'm in love with him either.

Not that he's ever going to find out of course.

It might just be me, but I don't really fancy having my heart stomped on, then torn into hundreds of little pieces and thrown all over New York.

So anyway, after she gave me that look, she said

"No funny business Mia." Now I was totally confused by that. I'm too scared to confess my secret undying love for her older, totally hot, brother, let alone going behind Lilly's back and doing anything wrong. I mean its Lilly.

LILLY!

She'd kill me.

I happen to like my life as it is …

Well, I don't, but no way would I kill myself. I have to stick up for all those poor little sea turtles and run a whole Country! Not to mention Grandmere would haunt me. Never mind the face she's actually still alive and annoying me as ever.

Well, I WAS totally confused by that, until I spoke to Michael later that night.

*^*^*^*

Lilly's POV:

Now I've got those two sorted, it's time to think about what I should do when Tom comes around. I mean, I don't particularly want to make a massive fool of myself in front of him. Wait.

Why don't I want to make a fool out of myself in front of Tom?

OK now that's another thing to think about.

^^^^^

"Well, we need to find a way to get Michael and Mia to realize their feelings for eachother, without them knowing we're involved." I told him.

"Well that's easy." He simply said, leaning back against the chair.

"Is it? How is it? If they haven't figured it out after 7 odd years then they won't really notice if we interfere–" I rambled on. I never ramble.

Strange.

"Woah woah woah, hold your horse! Now who said anything about interfering?" he inquired.

"Uh, nobody but I just figured that -" and he cut me off again. What is with that anyway? Does he not know what manners are?

"I know. Now, let see. What won't Michael notice? 'Cause lets face it, he notices everything else except the obvious." He asked, stretching like a cat on the chair and sinking deeper into it.

"Well, he won't notice if … Um … I don't know!" That's the first thing I don't know.

This guy is creepy.

Well I'll tell you. He won't notice Mia's obvious love for him, until it's too late. I mean he won't realize that Mia actually loves him back, until she's taken." He explained.

But what does that – OH!" It finally clicked.

"Got it now?"

"Yeah. So we have to get someone to fake-date Mia, which will wake Michael out of his depression of 'Mia-doesn't-love-me-back-oh-my-life-is-over!', but the person has to not be in love with Mia, or fall IN love with Mia. Because that wouldn't work at all. They also have to be willing enough to do this without any benefits coming to them. But where would we find someone like that?"

He didn't say anything for a minute, but kept on waggling his eyebrows up and down. I watched this, inwardly laughing until he finally grew tired and gestured to where he was.

"The couch?" I asked.

"No! Silly! ME!" he laughed.

"Ohh."

Well that could work.
