I'm back, I know I was gone forever and I'm so sorry, but I have such writers block with this story, but I just watched some So Weird episodes on YouTube (they don't have any Fi/Clu shippy videos, what is up with that), because I am determined to finish this story. After this chapter I am thinking about two more chapters then it'll be done. The action is really picking up in this chapter and the climax is in the next chapter. I know where it is going after this chapter so the wait won't be as long. I think I will be able to update on Thursday, because I have some work to do for Wednesday so probably Thursday, but who knows I may have time. So here is the next chapter, sorry it's so short. Hope you all enjoy it.

Thinking About You Lately

Chapter 11

The Truth is Learned

Fi and Clu had been going to the houses of the previous victims starting from the earliest and working their way up. Both hadn't found out anything yet and were getting frustrated.

"Come on Fi, let's stop for the night and start fresh tomorrow," Clu whined as Fi looked over the Mapquest they had printed out.

"Come on Clu, you know we can't. The anniversary is really close and we need to solve this for certain before another girl dies. Anyway we're almost halfway done," Fi said as Clu groaned. She paused as she took a breath, "How about this, after this house if we don't find out anything we'll stop for dinner, my treat. But after dinner we need to finish up this list." Clu reluctantly agreed as he continued on. The two pulled to the house of the 1955 victim, Judy Davies. Fi walked briskly to the door and Clu dragged behind. She rang the doorbell and a woman in her forties answered the door.

"Hello, can I help you two?" the woman asked.

"Yes," Fi replied, "are you anyway related to a Judy Davies who lived here in 1955." The woman nodded slightly confused,

"Yes, Judy was my older sister, why are you asking about her?"

"Well, we were wondering if you still had any of Judy's things in a box or something, you know old papers or photos…" Fi said trailing off.

"You're trying to solve those murders aren't you, those murders Judy was trying to solve before she died," the woman said sternly. Fi and Clu looked at each other surprised before facing the woman again. Fi nodded. The woman shook her head, "Take my advice, don't try to solve it, let it be, my sister lost her life trying to solve those murders, and so did everyone else. You don't want to end up like them." The woman tried to close the door, but Clu stepped forwards and stopped it with his hand,

"We know the risks, but we are trying to figure out what happened to those girls and your sister. Don't you think Judy would want what she gave up her life for to be solved? Also don't you want to finally know what happened to your sister?" The woman stared at Clu and her eyes softened as she contemplated it. She opened the door again and motioned for them to come in. They thanked her as she shut the door.

Fi and Clu were sitting on a floral print couch in the cream colored living room as the woman, whose name was Ellen Thomas, left to grab something from Judy's things. Fi was tapping her knees and she bobbed them up and down quickly. Clu smiled at this and placed a hand on top of hers causing her to still and look at him.

"Calm down," Clu said.

"I can't Clu, I'm scared that we won't find anything and another girl will die. If that happens I don't know if I'll be able to forgive myself," Fi said. Clu sighed,

"Fi, you got to stay positive, you always solve them just in time."

"But what if I don't this time," Fi said sharply, "what if this time I'm late." Clu put an arm around her and gave her a gently side hug,

"You will, Fi. You're brilliant, even if we don't get anything from Ellen, or anyone else, you'll figure it out." Fi pulled away slightly to meet his eyes,

"You've always been able to make me feel like I can do anything, Clu. Thank you for that, I probably don't say that enough. Thank you for always being there when I need you." Clu shrugged,

"Hey, I wouldn't be much of a best friend if I didn't." Fi smiled and hugged him.

"Could you two please try to suppress your hormones while you're in my home," Ellen said holding a manila folder in her hand as she sat across from them. The two let go of the other and turned to face Ellen.

"We weren't…" Fi started but stopped when Ellen held up her hand,

"I don't care what you were doing," she pushed the folder towards Fi across the coffee table, "here is all the information Judy had on the murders, I hope it helps." Fi picked up the folder,

"Thank you." She started looking through the folder.

"I don't mean any offense, but are you sure this is everything?" Clu asked. Ellen nodded.

"I'm sure, I helped her keep it organized," Ellen paused as she gave a small sad smile, "I was sort of her assistant." She paused as her smile dropped and she met his eyes, "Please, find out what happened to her." Fi pulled out some photos from the file,

"Are these the pictures of the girls who were murdered?" Ellen nodded,

"Yeah, Judy got them from the school archives, I never thought to return them." Fi was flipping through them with a furrowed brow; she noticed that many of the girls looked similar to each other, but that still didn't answer why these girls were targeted. "Oh, also there is a picture of one of the original victims, Jessica Martin, it's in the back," Ellen said. Fi flipped to the back and took out the photo. Her eyes fell on the picture and she let out a little gasp.

"Fi what is it?" Clu asked worriedly.

"I know, I know who's doing this and why," Fi said as she met his eyes. She put the photos back and took a deep breath, "We'll be able to stop it."

"Do you hear that Judy, they did it, it'll finally be over, you can finally rest in peace," Ellen said to herself as she shook her head with a smile. She looked up and met their eyes, "Thank you, from now on this day will no longer make me feel guilty." Fi gave her a confused look,

"What do you mean?" The woman gave Fi a surprised look,

"Why the anniversary, of course. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of Judy's death." Fi's jaw dropped in horror,

"The anniversary! Today is the anniversary of the murders?!" Ellen nodded,

"Of course, didn't you know?" Fi stood up quickly,

"Clu we need to go now," she turned to face Ellen as she started to leave, "Sorry to leave like this, but it's a matter of life and death." Ellen nodded still confused as she watch the two rush out.

Fi and Clu got into the car quickly.

"Clu drive to the school," Fi said. Clu started the car,

"Fi what is going on?" Fi turned to him,

"The anniversary is today! That means that a girl is going to be killed today, and I know who." She took out the photos and fanned them out in her hands, "Look at these pictures do you notice anything strange about them." He nodded,

"Yeah, well all the girls look kind of similar." Fi nodded then took out another picture,

"Now here is a picture of Jessica Martin, the girl who supposedly killed Katie." Clu gasped and met Fi's eyes. She nodded, "all the girls killed resemble Jessica Martin. And who does Jessica look almost identical to."

"Julie," Clu said turning forward. Fi nodded and put the pictures away,

"Julie's the next victim." Clu started to drive quickly towards the school. The same thought was running through both their minds, 'I hope we get there in time.'

I'm not really happy with this chapter, it was hard to write and I couldn't really think of anything to add to make it longer and I wanted to end it there. I didn't want to throw in a scene of Julie and Alex, because I'm going to start the next chapter with that. The action will happen in the next chapter and why the girls were killed will be explained more in depth. I feel like the reveal that the girls looked like Jessica wasn't as climactic as I hoped, but I just wanted to get this out. The next chapter will be better because I just went over it so it's solid. I'll try to get it out soon before I forget it. Sorry it took so long to get this out and that it's so short and bad, but it's hard to get inspiration for a show that isn't on anymore, and YouTube didn't have that many clips. Please don't flame because of this chapter, I know it's bad, but that scene needed to happen and it was the best I could do. There was a little Clu/Fi fluffy scene that I hope made up for it. Alright well enough with that. I'm not going to ask for reviews, but I am going to say to stick around for the next chapter. It's going to be a good one. I promise!
