RATING: T may change to M later

PAIRING: Olivia/Viola

SUMMARY: Olivia breaks down after the revelations.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but I'm pretty sure this story is coming out of my head. Can anything really be yours after it's out of your head?

Just wait till she sees what else I have planed for our 'Date'!

I know its cliché and I hate that it's true. But I think I tried on everything I owned at least twice. In my defense I did still look like I hadn't eaten in a week. Before finally settling on the yellow dress that I wore to the carnival. Note to self: keep more clothes in your dorm.

After what felt like hours of getting ready. I found myself knocking on Eunice and Viola's door.

"Toby?"

"Sorry Eunice, its Olivia"

Almost immediately, Viola popped her head out. Looking kind of frantic.

"Olivia! Hi, is it already Six? Give me like 5 seconds."

I'm not sure if it was leftover instincts to act guy-like. Or if I had really bugged her that much with my 'Date' comment. But she seemed very nervous for a girl going shoe shopping. Nervous-Viola is just as cute as all the other flavors.

After 5 minutes, which is A LOT longer than 5 seconds, I wasn't counting, I swear, she came stumbling out of her room with none of the grace of a debutante or a athlete. She was wearing a pair of low rise jeans and black T-shirt, one of those cleavagy T-shirts that you always feel like guys are looking down. She did flash the entire soccer field, I guess she's not as shy as me.

"Graceful exit, I give it an 8. Mrs. Lancaster would be so proud." I'm not quite as mad as I was anymore. But I still felt like being a little mean to her.

She looked at me funny for a second, before smiling. "Who are you, and where did you hide the nice Olivia?"

"Oh sorry, she's at home. She was scared to be seen in public with the school cross dresser." I gave my best innocent smile.

"A cross dresser? Oh my God, where?" She was really smiling now, not her Sebastian-smile that made me fall for him, this was a million times better and a completely honest smile. And all thoughts of being mean to her were just gone. Honestly I think that smile could kill all thoughts of anything.

After shaking myself out of my little smile-trance I grabbed her hand and started pulling her to my car.

"Oh don't worry about it, she's just some crazy person that lives with Eunice."

"Hey!"

I tried to give her a skeptical look, which is kind of hard when you can't quit smiling.

"Okay, fine… but I'm reserving the right to be indignant later."

"Awe… I'm sorry, I'm sure pretending to be your brother was the only sane thing to do."

"That's right!" she said grinning again.

By then we had gotten to my car, a light blue Honda S2000 convertible that my uncle gave me as an early graduation present. I glanced over at Viola as I was opening the door. She was just staring at my car. This is ridiculous we haven't even left school yet and my cheeks already hurt from smiling to much!

"Earth to Viola! Yoo Hoo! Time to wake up!"

"This is your car? I thought it was one of the teachers."

"Nope, Its mine. Now get in or no shoes for you!"

I couldn't suppress the laugh when she jerked her head up and rushed the 3 steps to the car.

I knew if we talked while I was driving I'd get distracted so I turned up the radio as soon as we got in the car.

"Ew, what are you listening to?" she asked while ejecting the CD. "Alizée what language is this?"

"Its french, and after what I heard Eunice say. Do you really want to criticize my music?"

It was SO funny watching the smile and any hint of amusement drain from her face. That I had to put the car back in park, so I didn't wreck while laughing.

"Olivia, You can't tell anyone! Please!"

I don't know why I found the thought so appealing but I found myself imagining all kinds of things I could make Viola do by blackmailing her a little. And I just had to smile, It was one of those evil smiles that exist just to make people nervous, as I put the car back in drive.

"I don't know Viola… I think we should get to Anthropologie, and maybe if you're good I will give you a way to keep me quiet!"

She looked very nervous now, she was still smiling though. So I figured I should change the subject.

"Hey, after shoes do you want to go watch a movie? The Covenant is playing, and Maria said that I look just like one of the girls in it."

She looked relived to think about something other than the dirt I had on her.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun. Oh! We can get those giant soft pretzels!!"

I love how such simple things can make her face light up like that.

You have it bad girl…

I don't think I've ever had as much fun as I did shopping with her. She is so silly and cute, she kept trying on the most ridiculous clothes she could find. There should be a law against laughing as much as we did, I don't know how I survived it. Especially when she found this thong that was like 10 sizes bigger than the biggest person I've ever seen… and she just put it on over her clothes and stretched it over her shoulders, after fiddling with it for a couple of seconds while I laughed she turned to me completely serious and asked me:

"What do you think? Could I pull this off as a swim suit?"

And I lost it… I couldn't even stand up anymore, I was laughing so hard. I think that's when the store manager asked us to leave. So we paid for our shoes, and headed over to the movie theater, I think for a while we only managed to stay standing by leaning on each other.

It was like we were out of control. We couldn't even look at each other without laughing. Finally after the third time we got shushed in the theater, I bit my lip squeezed her hand, and focused on the movie. The special effects were good, the story was okay, and the acting left something to be desired. But watching the whole thing, holding her hand like that, it was the best movie I've ever went to.

I guess the movie calmed us down a little, cause we could look at each other without laughing afterwards… We couldn't stop the smiles though.

"What do you think? Me or Sarah from the movie?"

"Huh?"

"Who's prettier?"

I know I was fishing for compliments, but I paid for the movie so she owed me.

"You obviously, are you kidding. She was all ugh…"

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know how to describe it, she just had a very ughy quality"

She's so cute!!!

"Okay Olivia, I was good all night, how can I keep you quiet?" even though she was still smiling she managed to look like she was pouting.

I can't stop looking at her lips… not good.

"I'll make it really easy, just promise you'll go out with me tomorrow to listen to your brothers band."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Cool, to quote Eunice, 'I'm so there it's insane!'" which made us laugh all over again.

The rest of the trip home was fairly quiet, we just talked about the movie, and made fun of the store manager that kicked us out. There were a few comfortable silences, and we laughed about her thong-suit a little. God I hope I don't screw this up.

Her room was on the way to mine, so we walked together up to her door. I didn't even realize we were holding hands till she let go.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow, thank you for inviting me."

Can I really do this?

"Anytime, thank you for coming with me."

Oh my God….

For some reason her words popped into my head again, 'let the chips fall where they may' and I knew if I didn't do this now. I would never get another chance like this.

She looked down to try to find the key to her room, and I moved right in front of her.

"Viola."

She looked up…

And I kissed her.

I'm not talking like I kissed her brother. I wasn't aiming for her enemies. This wasn't about them, or anyone else. It was all her.

I kissed her, I kissed Viola

Wow, thank you so much for the reviews!! I never would have thought this many people even read this pairing, or would read my attempt at a story. I probably shouldn't be surprised though, Amanda and Laura would be wicked hot together.

The Covenant came out in September 06 so I figure that's what playing at the beginning of the school year.
