Thank you for all the reviws and favs/follows. It means a lot.


''See, this is the third date he has ruined. He was so cool with you, I thought he wouldn't be going around running my dates away any more. I was so wrong.''

Tom raises an eyebrow, even though he knew Molly couldn't see his expression since they are talking on the phone. He was standing inside a grocery shop, his shopping almost done.

''What makes you think he was cool with me? Yes, he didn't try to scare me away but he certainly was not cool with me, anything but that. How could he be cool with me, I was taking his Molly away.''

He heard Molly sigh. ''Still, he seemed to like you more. You know what? I don't even know since when but it's like Sherlock considers himself my dad or older brother or something, with the whole gotta protect my little daughter or little sister complex going or something. Apparently, no men I date is good enough for me.''

Tom chuckled. He didn't miss the way Molly completely ignored the whole Sherlock's Molly part of the conversation.''Oh believe me, he most certainly does not think of you as his little sister.''

''Hey, I have to go. Work calling.''

In other words, Sherlock is. He could hear Sherlock's voice in the background.

He bade Molly goodbye and turned around to walk towards the cashier to find himself face to face with a woman, more specifically a tall, brunette, beautiful woman, who was looking at him with narrowed eyes and was invading his personal space.

What the...?

Does he know her?

''I thought you and Molly broke up? So you are still friends? You are also trying to push her towards Sherlock? Oh and by the way, why do you dress like Sherlock?''

He frowned at the woman who was barricading him with questions about his private life. She looked somewhat familiar but he couldn't place her. So he asked her a question in return.

''Do I know you?''

The woman straightened up and stepped away from him at that, her face forming a bright smile. ''Oh, sorry. I am Janine. You might not remember me but I was the maid of honour at John and Mary's wedding.

Ah, that's right. Now he remembered, she was also Sherlock's girlfriend, the one who sold stories about him to the press. Molly told him they were all lies. Sherlock had used her and she had taken revenge. He had heard from Molly that they are still friends.

Sherlock was a bit of a bastard.

Still, he is good for Molly.

Also, the fact that Sherlock had voluntarily gave Molly information about Janine and his relationship, even though Molly hadn't asked, cemented Tom's believe regarding Sherlock's feelings.

He looked at Janine. She must be a really cool and kind woman to still be friends with Sherlock after the whole fiasco.

oh and what did she just say?

You are also trying to push her toward Sherlock?

Does this mean she is also trying to push them together?

He gave Janine a wide smile of his own as he looked at his new ally.

They were going to be great friends.


''Jealousy? He is a very possessive person, isn't he?,'' Janine suggested.

Tom and Janine had truly become fast friends and now they were thinking of ways to bring Sherlock and Molly together. Quite frankly, Janine felt like she went back to her high school days when she would sit around with her girl friends and gush with them about some Tv Show and how they would want the male and female lead to get their shit together and hook up already.

''Not going to work. If jealousy was going to do it, then it would have happened a long time ago. I mean, you are talking to me, Molly's fiancé. He had been terrifying any guy Molly had went out with after me and still not say anything to her about his feelings anyway,'' Tom answered.

''True,'' Janine conceded. Then frowned. ''Why? Why is he like that? Does he not realize what he feels for Molly or did he choose to be blind to it purposefully?''

''He would have to be the biggest idiot in the world to be blind to his feelings. It's clear as a day to everyone around him for god's sake. You- who did not even see them together, know it. How could he not?''

''Then why?''

Tom shrugged.''I don't know. Only he can tell.''

Janine's eyes lit up. ''You are right. Only he can tell. So we should ask. We really need further information before we are going to plan anything with them.''

Tom's eyes went wide in horror. ''There is no way I am going with you to meet Sherlock and pester him with questions. He hates me enough as it is.''

''We are not going to Sherlock, you are. I am going to talk with Molly in the mean we can plan something with the information. '' Janine was grinning with glee. The idea of torturing Sherlock with Molly's ex fiancee appealed to her very much. She might have forgiven him but having him suffer once in a while was a good thing for her sanity.

''No way. He would eat me in half.''

''Come on, be a man. I am not asking you to pick a fight with him, just to ask him questions.''

''And what if he picks a fight?''

''He won't. Sherlock doesn't hurt anybody unless they are hurting him or mean harm to someone he cares about.''

Tom though about it for a moment. Then nodded.

There really is no harm in trying.

Or maybe a broken arm or rib.

But Molly Hooper is an important friend and a little physical pain is worth her happiness.

Molly and Sherlock are both at Bart, working on some experiments of Sherlock in the lab. It's only been an hour since he and Janine had met and he doubted Sherlock had already left.

He took out his phone and asked Molly to meet him(he didn't mention Janine) at Bart's cafeteria, stating its urgent and not to bring Sherlock there at all cost.

Janine will go talk to Molly instead of him and tom will ambush Sherlock in the lab.

They walked out of the cafeteria, as they discussed how they are going to pose the questions and what they are going to do after they have gathered the information.

Who knows, maybe they won't have to do anything.

Maybe, all Sherlock and Molly needs are a push from their ex-rivals in the right direction.


Do review.

Next- Sherlock and Molly locked up in closet and have heart to heart under it.

One more chap, and it's finished.
