I'll have Nina help me with the disclaimer this time.

Nina: Ice-Princess-93 doesn't own House of Anubis, its characters, the house, or anything else. Just the plotline!

Me: Thank you!

Nina: You're welcome! Now I've got to go find Fabian.

About an hour or so later, the rest of my housemates arrived. Everyone was back and mostly happy to be back, except for Joy.

"She transferred to a new school," Patricia explained as we all sat around the living room. "She said she didn't want to put up with Victor and the teachers anymore. Not after what they did to her."

"Understandable," I told her.

"But she's not the Chosen One! Nina is!" I felt bad for her. She was upset about not being able to see her best friend, and I didn't blame her, but the look in her eyes told me she was happy Joy was safe.

"Chosen One? What are you talking about?" Mara entered the room, looking confused.

"A movie!" I lied. "It's, uh, it's a movie about warriors fighting off this evil force, but only one of them can stop the bad guys. That one has the title as 'The Chosen One'. The main character just so happens to have the same name as me."

"Oh, sounds cool. What's the name of the film?"

"I didn't catch it. And it was in an ad back in America. You guys probably won't get it any time soon anyways."

"Oh… Mick!" Mick was leaning against the doorframe. "I've missed you!" she jumped into his arms, and he embraced her lovingly. Amber coughed.

"Hey babes," he responded, kissing Mara's cheek.

"Right," I started off. They both waltzed out of the room.

"That was close," Alfie sighed as soon as they had left.

I sat down on the couch between Amber and Patricia.

"Nina!" Amber hissed, nudging me and pointing to the doorway. I understood what she was saying.

"Now?" I asked. She nodded. "Alright."

"Good luck!" she called out after me. As soon as I turned the corner, I heard her telling Patricia, Alfie and Jerome about how I was going to make the 'stepping-out' between Fabian and I official. I sighed, walking the too-familiar route to his and Mick's room.

Once there, I stopped in front of the door. I didn't know what I was going to say to him! Without thinking, I knocked a few times. He opened it slightly, smiling as soon as he saw me.

"Fabian!" I cried, stepping towards him and hugging him tightly. "I've missed you! How were your holidays?"

"Nina! Oh God, I've missed you too. My holidays were good thanks. We went to France on a ski trip."

"There seems to be a lot of that going around," I told him once we were sitting on his bed. He had closed the door. "Amber said she went to Austria to do that, but she of course ended up doing more shopping instead of skiing."

"Of course she did. This is Amber, after all." we laughed. "How were your holidays?"

"They were nice. I loved seeing my Gran and some of my old friends from my old school."

"Nina, I-"

"Fabian, I have something to ask you…" I felt bad for cutting him off, but I felt that if I didn't ask him out now, I might not get up the courage to do it again.

"Nina, will you go out with me?"

How come he can do that so bluntly, and here I am trying to get up the confidence to ask him out for the past two weeks? I thought, blushing insanely.

"I'd love to!" I exclaimed. "I mean, if that's okay with you… I, um, well-"

It was his turn to cut me off. But, instead of talking, he leaned in and kissed me. Then he wrapped his arms around my waist while I moved my hands, playing with his hair.

"Finally!" It was Amber, standing ecstatically in the doorway, leaning against the frame. My eyes flung open and we broke apart instantly, taking in the sight of the rest of our housemates standing there with Amber, taking digital pictures and video with their phones and iPods. The only people who weren't there of course, were Victor and Trudy.

"Thanks, guys." I muttered. Fabian put his arm around me. Everyone cheered, and Mick came up to clap Fabian's shoulder while Amber hugged me.

"Supper!" Trudy yelled from the kitchen.

Well, this is going to be a very eventful term. I thought as I took Fabian's hand while following everyone out into the kitchen.

Oh, it will be. I heard from a voice. I shuddered.

The 'voice' was the house. I thought the mystery was over.
