A/N: Hello again! I hope you guys like the chapter...it's a slow progressing story, once again, just because I think it'd be a bit unlikely for all the characters to just rush in and immediately start dating or something. Yeah, so...read and review?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own House of Anubis.

Jerome cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen when Fabian left. "I better go check on Alfie. See you later?"

Eddie nodded distractedly as Jerome ushered himself out. In all honesty, he didn't know what had come over him. What he had said to Alfie…all the comments he had made….it dawned on him that they weren't the best thing to say. He groaned, knowing he would have to apologize soon enough.

Tomorrow. He didn't have enough energy today.

Eddie yawned, rubbing his eyes before waking up and staring hard at the clock. Ten o'clock, on the dot. Not bad for him. He heard a clattering in the kitchen, and knew Fabian was already up, making breakfast or something. Sitting up, the blonde looked down. This would be awkward too, going into the kitchen, grabbing a plate of whatever Fabian had made, and sitting down like nothing had happened.

He briefly wondered if Jerome and Alfie had made up. Probably had, they'd been inseparable for years, and besides, Jerome hadn't even done anything wrong, he just made the mistake of laughing along.

Eddie let his hand wander to his cellphone. If he didn't apologize to Alfie right now, then he'd be all awkward with Fabian. And if he was all awkward with Fabian, he wouldn't get pancakes.

He dialed Alfie's number.

Eddie loved pancakes.

"Hello?" Alfie answered his mobile groggily, the world shifting into focus as he sat up.

"Hey, Alfie…"

Eddie. Alfie mentally groaned, not in the mood for teasing about his relationship. "Hey."

"So, I just wanted to say sorry for last night. It was…wrong of me…to say that." Alfie almost let out a laugh at Eddie's apology. Saying sorry was never his strong suit.

"Who put you up to it?" Alfie asked bitterly. "Fabian? Jerome?"

"No! No way, man. It was me, just me. We cool?" Alfie wanted to stay mad at him. But this was Alfie Lewis. He was the jokester, the prankster, the one that could lighten up anybody's day. And he was also terrible at staying angry, because sometimes, there was no point in doing it.

And Eddie had sincerely apologized, something that came around once in a blue moon. "We're cool."

Fabian looked up from flipping the last pancake, "You apologized?"

Eddie's eyes widened, and he stepped back, "Dude, are you psyc-"

"No, I'm not psychic." Fabian laughed, almost confirming Eddie's suspicions as he set out plate for his friend, who eyed it cautiously before sitting down next to him for breakfast.

"So, what's got you all happy?" Eddie asked, piling whipped cream and a large dose of syrup on his pancakes like he did back in high school. Old habits die hard.

"I met a girl," Fabian said, acting as if it was no big deal, but he was honestly about to explode inside. The more he thought about Nina, the more he wanted to see her again. He had been planning to 'casually' wander around in hopes of bumping into her today.

Eddie smiled before whacking his shoulder lightly, "Oooh, Fabian's got a girlfriend!"

Cheeks flushed, Fabian looked down, a smile stretching across his lips. "All I know is her name, which hardly qualifies her to be my girlfriend." Fabian argued before looking up at Eddie, who had already made a mess of himself as he ate. "And besides, don't tease me when you are completely in love with Alfie's girlfriend's twin."

"Patricia," Eddie quickly supplied the girl's name, causing Fabian to raise his eyebrows. "And I just met her. We're not in love."

"Sure," Fabian rolled his eyes before putting his plate in the sink. "You know, with you and Patricia and Alfie and Piper-"

"Don't forget you and this Nina girl."

Fabian ignored the comment. "Jerome is the only one without a potential soul mate."

"Soul mate? Really?"

"We should set him up with someone."

"I am not playing matchmaker for Jerome. Just call up Alfie's ex if you want to get him a love life." Eddie had meant it as a joke, but Fabian took it as a serious comment, eyes lighting up at the thought.

"That is a great idea!" Fabian clapped for his friend before wandering to find the phone book. "Her last name was Millington, yeah?"

"Dude, I was kidding! You're not seriously calling her! Fabian, wait! Stop!"

"Millington Residence, Amber Millington speaking. Who is this?"

"Hello, Amber! It's me, Fabian. Fabian Rutter. You dated my friend Alfie, do you remember? Right after we all got out of college, or so."

Amber smiled and put down her nail polish. Of course she remembered Fabian! Although he was a bit of a nerd, he was definitely the nicest one to her when she first got introduced to him, Eddie, and Jerome. He was adorable, socially awkward and always stuttering. The problem had seemed to go away though, since he was talking with ease right now.

"Of course I remember you!" She squealed into the phone. "How are you? How's Alfie? Eddie? Jerome?"

"All great. Well, you see, Jerome's been a bit down, and….we've been wondering if you could find him a girlfriend or something?"

But what Fabian didn't know is that Amber Millington was already in her Lamborghini, making her way down the familiar streets that led to the apartment building the boys lived at. Because Amber Millington was, above everything else, a matchmaker.

A matchmaker on a mission.
