Can anyone guess what time it is? That's right! It's time for the very last part of You Found Me! So, I won't keep you. Enjoy the conclusion to this awesome three-shot! ~E

Joy sat proudly across from Mr. Sweet's desk, ready for yet another piece of good news. You see, yesterday, Joy received an acceptance letter from the Young Authors and Journalists Program at NYU. (Not sure if that's a real thing) She was going to America next year and everything was perfect. Well, everything except for the whole Nina situation. But she'd soon work that out. There must be something that girl was hiding. Fabian should be hers and everyone knows it. (No, Joy. No everyone doesn't LOL) But then, Mr. Sweet walked in, forcing her to think of a plan later.

"Good Morning, Miss Mercer. Thank you for taking the time to come down to my office." He greeted.

"Yeah, so what's going on? I assume it's an accomplishment. Please feel free to speak the truth." She stated, smiling.

"Okay, Joy. If you insist," he said, treading carefully. "Your acceptance to the NYU Young Authors and Journalists Program has been rescinded." She sat for a moment, drinking in the information.

"Wait, wait. What?" she questioned. "That's not possible."

"I'm afraid it is. When the board was going through you past exposes, they came across your article on Nina. Now, I was willing to overlook it if you moved past it but bashing other students is strictly frowned upon on their campus. You will not be attending the program next fall." He explained. "Sorry."

"This is not happening!" she yelled as she got up and stomped out of the door, determined to find the source of her problems.

Nina and Fabian were standing by Fabian's locker, talking about the latest history assignment, but stopped when they saw a sudden parting of the crowd that's point was heading straight towards them. Nina began to back away slowly when she noticed Joy emerging from the crowd.

"What did I do now?" she asked Fabian quietly. He shrugged.

"You did this!" she yelled while pointing at Nina as she appeared from the clutter forming of people. "This is your fault!"

"I haven't done anything!" she shouted back. Joy's face spelled pure outrage.

"No! You've done everything! NYU rescinded my application because they found the article that I wrote on YOU!"

"And that's my fault?"

"Course it is! If you hadn't been so bloody annoying and stolen my friends while I was gone, I wouldn't have had to make an effort to get you to leave."

"You can't put this on me. That was all you." She stated. "Take responsibility for your own foolish actions." And then, a firm, flat hand hit Nina's cheek. She gasped.

"Joy!" yelled Fabian.

"She deserves it! She's ruined my chances at everything." Nina began to back away again but it did no good. Joy was walking forward, in-step as well. "You are the reason my life is ruined. Ever since you came, nothing has gone right!"

"You mean, nothing has gone right for you! If I wasn't here at all, you wouldn't have been found."

"And if you weren't here, where do you think you'd be? You'd most likely be at home with your Gran, who'd probably be alive. Face it, Nina. She was under too much stress. You're the reason she's dead." She hissed with a cold voice.

"Joy!" Fabian scolded. But it was too late. Nina had already run out in tears. Joy stood there, satisfied with the events that had just taken place, and began to walk away, but turned to see Patricia standing in front of her.

"Oh, hey, Trixie! Come on, let's go." But she didn't move. "Hello?"

"Oh, I can hear you perfectly, Joy. But I'm not going anywhere with you." She stated.

"But we're besties," she whined. Patircia scoffed.

"Not anymore. Nina is my friend and what you just said was cold."

"Yeah, Joy. You hurt my BBF's feelings and no one gets away with THAT on my watch," Amber told her, taking off her shoe and raising it.

"Woah, Woah, Woah. Slow down, Amber. Shoes don't solve everything," he said, "Come with me. We'll go find Nina."

"Actually, I think I'll stay here with Patricia."

"Alright, then," he said, turning around, but yelled from the end of the hallway before walking out the door. "Put the shoe down!" Amber lowered her shoe with a huff.

"Phooey." She pouted as she slipped her shoe back on her foot. "Joy," she said, turning back to her. "You are a bully and you are really mean." Joy laughed.

"Is that all you've got?" she asked.

"Yes, well, I usually use my shoe. I can't do much without my shoe." She explained.

"Pathetic," was Joy's reply. So, Amber slapped her. Both girls' mouths went flying open.

"Woah," exclaimed Amber. "I've never slapped someone before. Why have I never slapped anyone before?" She smiled. "I cannot tell you how much satisfaction I just got from that!" But Joy looked as if she were about to kill someone.

"I'm telling Mr. Sweet!" she yelled.

"You're kidding, right?" Patricia questioned.

"No, why?"

"You just slapped Nina!" stated Amber.

"So!" Joy shouted.

"So… You're basically a hypocrite!" Patricia exclaimed.

"What happened to you, Trixie? We were friends." Joy said softly. Patricia scoffed.

"What happened to me? Try what happened to you." And with that last question of self-worth, Patricia and Amber walked back to Anubis House, satisfied.

"Nina! Nina!" Fabian yelled throughout the house even though he already knew perfectly well where she was. He ran up the attic steps, still calling for her. "Nina, are you up here?" he asked, entering through the attic door. Then, the panel door opened and a teary-eyed Nina stood on the other side. He walked over to her and held her tightly. "Hey, you alright?" She shook her head, softly crying into Fabian's shoulder.

"She's right, you know. It's all my fault she's gone." Fabian sighed.

"Nina, don't even think like that. And don't agree with anything Joy's said about you because every, single, bit of it is wrong. Didn't they say it was cancer?" She shook her head.

"He called back later and said that, even though she had cancer, she died from a heart attack. And it's all my fault."

"No, it isn't. We may never know what caused your Gran's heart attack, but there is one thing that I can say for certain." He stepped back and lifted her head, looking into her eyes. "You had nothing to do with this. And I know your Gran would agree with me." She didn't have much of a smile but she gave what she could. And that was good enough for him. They stayed in each other's arms like that for a while. And they would've done so for years to come.

Nina was glad that Fabian had found her when she was upset. So far, twice in one week. And she knew that she didn't have to worry. He would always be there to find her.
