A/N: Read author's note at the bottom, please. This chap is full of dialogue.

*Patricia's POV*

Mara said," Well, if I were Jerome and Alfie I'd go back to the pit and spy on Nina and Fabian. Didn't Fabian say he was searching around the edge of the woods?"

"Look around, Mara," I replied, gesturing to the abundance of trees. "They could be anywhere."

Mick spoke up," Actually I kind of eavesdropped on Jerome before I walked up to him. He talks to himself pretty loudly, sometimes. How evil villain-ish is that? Anyway, he said they're that-a-way." Mick started to lead us in the direction he pointed.

*Nina's POV*

It looks like I've got company in this rabbit hole. No dip, Sherlock went the voice in my head. Wait, is Fabian alright? He's not getting up. I hope he does, but I'm not really in the mood to talk to him. Amber brought up the time Fabian nearly asked me out. Well, more like blew up at me. It's just, I thought he'd give that speech about how we were just friends. I took charge of the conversation because I didn't want to be the person who listens lamely. That was awhile back. Now I know he likes me. If he asked me to be his girlfriend, I'd say yes. Call me clichéd, but I want him to be the one to ask.

"Huh?" I looked at Fabian. He sat up, wincing a bit.

"Hey, Fabian."

"Oh, hey, Nina. Where am I?"

"We're being held captive in an alien spaceship."

He just stared at me.

"Well, I was kidding about the spaceship part, but we are trapped in a pit."

"I was shoved. How'd you end up here?"

"Lost in thought-I guess I didn't see it."

"So what made you go MIA this morning?"

*Fabian's POV*

After I asked her that question, Nina looked down and wouldn't meet my eyes. An awkward silence was starting to form. "Make a move, Romeo," someone whispered. I looked at Nina, who met my gaze and pointed upward. "So how are things going?" I recognized that voice.

"Jerome!"

"In the flesh," he said as he stepped to the edge.

"Get us out of here."

Jerome glanced at his fingernails."I don't think so."

"Jerome, I've been stuck here for a long time. Pull us up, or Patricia finds out," Nina threatened.

He smirked. "What could dear Trixie possibly want to know about moi?"

"Oh, I think Patricia would be really interested knowing who helped Mr. Winkler assign roles for the play." Wait, Nina's suggesting-

Jerome spluttered. "She's got you there, mate." Alfie laughed as he came forward to stand beside Jerome.

"I thought so." Nina grinned. "Now give us a hand." Alfie threw down a rope.

"After you," I told Nina.

"Thanks." She started climbing. Once she was safely at the top I began pulling myself up. When did Jerome and Alfie find the time to dig this pit anyway? And how on earth has no one noticed it? While I was standing back on ground-level collecting my thoughts when someone fell into me, knocking me down for the second time.

"Oh my gosh! Fabian, are you okay? I'm so sorry."

"I'm fine," I grunted as Nina hurriedly got off me and gave me a hand up. My head was pounding a bit.

"Jerome, you will regret shoving me into Fabian, just you wait," she threatened.

"Ooh, I'm so scared." Patricia, Amber, Mick, and Mara showed up. What a nice gathering we were having.

"Nina!" Amber squealed. "I'm SO sorry! I completely lost it! I can't say how sorry I am. I shouldn't have brought it up- it was a long time ago. I was afraid you'd gotten eaten by a bear or mauled by bunnies." She had tears in her eyes as she gave Nina a death-squeeze.

"It's fine. I forgive you."

"Mauled by bunnies?" Mick whispered.

"Hush," Mara replied.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alfie pull the rope back out of the hole. Then Patricia walked up to Jerome and slapped him. I chuckled. While Jerome was cradling his cheek, she shoved him into the pit.

"That's what you get, slimeball." Patricia dusted off her hands.

Nina removed Amber's arms and walked over to the edge. "You know what, Jerome? I'll take this as your payment."

"Karma," Mara stated.

Mick said," Come on, gang. Let's get back to the house. After dinner, Trudy's serving ice cream for dessert."

"Yum!" I was famished. We started walking back.

"Wait, you all can't just leave me here!" I walked to the edge and stared down at Jerome, the guy who shoved me into a pit and had fun continually messing with my life.

"Yes,we can." Then I turned around and caught up with the others.

A/N: Please review about which ice cream flavor everyone should have. Nina= cookie dough; Mara= vanilla. Those are the only two I have. Oh, and Amber's needs to be something chocolatey. That's the only requirement. Review with the flavors for Amber, Patricia, Mick, Alfie, and Fabian. Please, it'll only take a minute. *author uses Millington's irresistible puppy dog eyes* Oh, and I'll explain why Nina was trapped down there so long next chapter.
