A/N The season finale was fantastical! I heard season 2 will be out late spring-late March the earliest. Thank you all for such positive feedback ;D

*Fabian's POV*

_-_-Flashback-_-_

We got off and I frowned.

_-_-End flashback-_-_

*Fabian's POV*

It was getting close to sunset. (had you worried for a millisecond didn't I? don't forget, Fabian's the practical one ;) ) "Patricia, are you absolutely certain you'll be able to get this... situation cleared up soon?"

"Of course!" she sniffed. "If wittle Fabey gets scared of the dark, I'll make sure your window's unlocked." she said in a mock baby voice.

I glared at her. "Thanks for that, Patricia.(sarcasm) Now, go. Good luck." I turned and faced Nina. "Where would you like to go?"

"Hmm... it doesn't matter." She paused. "Maybe... the woods for a bit?"

"Sure." I shrugged my shoulders."Race you there." I took off.

*Patricia's POV*

I watched Nina quickly catch up to Fabian and overtake him, but then she doubled back and they slowed down to a stroll. I faced the house. Okay, here goes. I opened the door. When I entered, it was dark. I turned on the lights and...

Amber, Alfie, Mara, Mick, and Jerome yelled, "Surprise!" and "Congratulations! and "It's about time." They looked happy and smug- then they saw me.

"Hey, what gives?"

"Have the two lovebirds flown the coop?" Jerome snickered.

Amber whined, "Patricia, where's Nina and Fabian? I organized this party just for them!"

Oh my goodness. Did these people have nothing better to do? Ugh! It was time to put and end to this. "Hey! Everybody stuff it!" They all immediately shut up. "Fabian and Nina aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. They're just friends as you all very well know."

"Yeah, they're definitely 'just friends'."

"Can it, Clarke!" I gave him one of my famous death stares until he broke his gaze and muttered an apology. I turned to Amber. "Where on earth did you get the idea that Nina and Fabian are stepping out?"

"Well, Nina asked me what 'stepping out' meant and Fabian wasn't meeting anyone's eyes, so I figured they were dating."

"Yeah, Amber. You 'figured'." I sneered. "Well have you finished the drama assignment? Mr. Winkler's having us read a short story about these teens and their messed up love lives." (Mr. Winkler has very...let's say...interesting teaching methods.)

"Oh, yeah." Mara snapped her fingers. "Mick and I finished reading it last night." She turned to the rest of the house. "One of the character's, Jason, asks his brother if he's stepping out with Lisa. Then they get into a big fight over her and...(blah. blah.)

"B-b-but...b-b-b-b-but..."

"So Nina and Fabian aren't dating?"

"Nope. Now can you please take that poster down." Jerome and Alfie moved to take down the giant "It's about time! Congrats Fabian and Nina!" poster. I heard Amber start whimpering behind me. She was going to throw a tantrum like a two-year old and I really didn't want to deal with that right now. "Stop!" I held up both hands. "I'll help you all play matchmaker as long as Amber doesn't whine. I'm getting a headache and don't want to deal with all this rubbish right now, so when they're together end of story. Comprende?" They all nodded their heads in agreement. "Okay. First thing's first. We need to take down all these decorations." Wow. I thought to myself. Amber really went all out. Streamers. Balloons. Even a little ice cream cake- which Mick grabbed and scarfed down in literally eight seconds. Once the room was back to normal, I spent and hour-and-a-half explaining how Fabian and Nina were super-shy and weren't sure if the other liked them. I rolled my eyes. They could be so thick at times. "Nina's more stubborn, so we should get Fabian to admit he likes her first. Mick you're closest to Fabian- you talk to him. Us girls will talk to Nina. And everyone- especially Amber- this isn't something that'll just take a day to fix up, so be prepared to stay in action for awhile. Alfie and Jerome, if all else fails be prepared to pull some pranks to force them together." They were starting to rub their hands together and smile mischievously. "but ONLY AS A LAST RESORT! Everyone got it? now clear out. I have to text Nina 'the coast is clear'.

*Nina's POV*

Patricia texted me that it was okay to head back. "Well that was a nice walk." I said to Fabian as we were on the path back.

"Yeah." replied Fabian in a breathy voice. "Peace and quiet. Hopefully, we've missed tonight's food fight already. Trudy was planning on serving mashed potatoes."

"Oh, dear." I laughed. "We'd better steer clear of the dining room then." He opened the door and motioned for me to walk in.

"After you."

"Thanks." I said, with a smile. The kitchen was empty. We grabbed some leftovers, and then he walked me back to my room. Fabian was always very sweet to me. "Good night."

"Night."

"Thanks for showing me the town."

"Your welcome, but you really didn't see much. Next time we go, I'll have to show you around some more." My smile grew even wider. Did he just ask me out on a date?

*Fabian's POV*

Wait! Did I just ask Nina out? Oh my gosh. That was totally out of bounds. Maybe she didn't hear me. I opened my mouth, but Nina cut me off.

"Yeah, that'd be great." She flashed me another smile and headed into her room.

*Nina's POV*

I walked in humming a Taylor Swift song to myself. Amber had her ear-buds in and was flipping through a fashion magazine, but when she saw me removed them and stood up."I'm going over to see Patricia. She asked me to give her some fashion advice." Weird. "Be back soon, Nina!" Amber chirped.

A/N: Wow. Patricia letting Amber help her with her wardrobe? Not possible. So then what is this sneaky blonde plotting with Patricia?

Thanks again for all the story alerts, fave stories and lovely reviews ;)
