Fiona Coyne stood in front of her mirror, looking at the outfit she chose to wore to The Dot with Peter. She didn't know why she cared so much about what she looked like (other than the fact that she actually liked looking good), she was just meeting with Peter to discuss details about the plan they were partners in.

Fiona had started thinking about the plan a couple weeks ago, when she first became suspicious of Riley's sexuality. She never intended to do anything about it, just something she'd have archived if the opportunity did present itself. Then she remembered her cousin Andrew and how miserable he'd been before he came out. She didn't want Riley to go through that, too.

So, she asked Peter if Riley was gay and got him to help her with the plan. And that's how they got to where they were now. Her picking out her wardrobe to go to a diner with a guy she just met, who thought he couldn't trust her… yet. She hoped she could prove her sincerity.

Fifteen minutes and three outfit changes later, she decided on straight-leg dark wash denim jeans, purple blouse, black pointy toed boots, and a black knit hat. Her makeup complimented the outfit well. It wasn't her very favorite look, but it would definitely do.

She grabbed her oversized black bag and sunglasses and walked out of the house, not bothering to tell anyone where she was going. The only person who would probably care was Declan and he was out with Holly J.

Peter Stone finished eating his bowel of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and went up to his room to get ready to go to The Dot. He was still wearing the T-shirt and boxers he slept in last night.

He picked out the black and gray horizontal striped shirt he was wearing when Riley first kissed him, a pair of faded, worn in jeans and his black and white checked vans. His straight blond hair looked fine and he brushed his teeth. He came back downstairs and grabbed his phone.

"Going somewhere, Peter?" His mom, Daphne Hatzilakos, asked him as he was walking out the door.

"I'm going to The Dot, I'm meeting with one of my friends, Fiona Coyne." He said, quickly, trying to get out of the house.

"Fiona? She's the new girl that transferred, right? With the twin brother… Declan?" His mom asked. That was the one thing Peter hated about being the principal's son. She knew all about who he was hanging out with almost better than he did it seemed like sometimes.

"Yeah, that's her. Well, I gotta go. Bye." He said and walked out of his house.

Fiona sat at a table in The Dot, waiting for Peter and drumming her nails on the table, a terrible habit she picked up. Peter was five minutes late and growing up in a home where everything ran on a schedule, she didn't have much patience for lateness.

He walked into The Dot a minute later and went over to the table. "Sorry I'm late. My mom started giving me the third degree."

Fiona nodded and Peter sat down across from her. "What details do we need to work out? You seem to have everything under control."

"I don't know. How long do you think I should wait before I introduce Zane to Riley? I don't want to freak him out or anything. Or make him suspicious, obviously."

"Yeah, that would be bad-for both of us. I don't know, maybe a couple weeks? A little longer?"

Fiona nodded. "That's what I was thinking, a couple weeks to a month. Then, things have to take mostly their own course, but you need to bring up the homosexuality issue, because I think we both know Riley won't and he needs to know that people won't see him differently."

Peter nodded at her words, they made sense, but something in the back of his mind still fiercely wanted to reject the plan. It wasn't any of his business when Riley came out anyway. Besides, Riley already told him he wasn't going to come out until after high school. "But, are you sure this will work? I mean Riley told me he didn't want to come out of the closet until after he graduated."

Fiona was silent for a few moments, thinking. Peter made sense. She hated to admit that her plan might not actually work. "There are no guarantees, of course, but I think we have a shot. And it's not like we're FORCING him out of the closet, Peter. If the plan doesn't work, then, it's his call. But I just think we should give it a chance." She finally said, slowly.

Peter nodded. "Okay. Like I said, I'll help you with this, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as you think it is. Riley's… tough. And you know how he feels about his reputation at school. I don't know if we can change that."

"I understand, but I'm glad I have you backing me up, it makes this easier. At least it feels like it does. And I know you'll pull me back if I start to get too ambitious and I'll make you do risks for the good of the plan, if they aren't too risky. I think we'll make a good team that way." She smiled at him, showing her perfectly straight white teeth.

Peter nodded and smiled back. She had a really nice smile. He knew that should be the last thing he was thinking about, considering the plan they had on their hands, but he couldn't help it.

"I have to go. I left without telling either of my parents where I'd be, and I don't want them to worry." Fiona said, grabbing her bag and standing up, Peter rising as well.

"Yeah, okay. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble or anything." Peter said.

"Oh, I'm going to need your number, just in case. I'll give you mine, too." Fiona said, taking a pen out of her purse and writing her cell phone number on his hand. Peter then did the same for her.

"Bye, Peter. It was nice getting to talk to you." She smiled and walked out, putting her sunglasses on as she did so.

She had felt a spark when Peter held her wrist to write his number on her palm. She didn't know why, though. She didn't like him or anything, she barely knew him. Maybe it was adrenaline or something. Either way, she decided to ignore it. She didn't need to go falling in love with anybody at the moment.

Too bad for her, Fate had a different destiny planned out for her and her blond haired partner.

This took longer to publish than it should've. I had over half of it done before today! I was just being lazy. Aside from everyone (especially Peter) being OOC, is there anything else wrong with it? Sorry that this chapter is kind of boring, things are going to get better next chapter. Why? Riley and Zane are going to meet!

I also wanted to say, really quickly, thanks for all the alerts/faves/comments. I really appreciate every single one of them, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So, please review and I will give you all virtual cookies! =D

Oh, and off topic, but did you guys know that Shannon Kook-Chun (Zane) is going to be Deven on the new Canadian TV show, Baxter? I wish I was from Canada instead of the US so I could see it!
