Hi so I just had a lightbulb for a new year's eve one-shot starring the Anubis gang. I know Nina and Eddie aren't technically in England in this one but plz just deal w/ it. I don't kno if they have even heard of the ball drop in England but let's pretend they haven't and I kno they can't see it since England is like 5 hours ahead of new york and it drops live during American east coast time. Let's pretend Eddie and Nina live in towns like a half hour away from each other and decided to hang out on new years eve (no romance between them, I'm a total Fabina and Peddie shipper, but since Eddie saved Nina from the afterlife and all they've become a bit closer and stuff), and the other Anubis residents live close enough to each other (minus Mick, since he's down under now), and they decided to hang out on new year's eve. Did anyone else absolutely love the season finale? I was giddy when Nina and Fabian kissed, and when Jerome and mara kissed (I felt a little bad for mick, though) and when amber and alfie decided to give amfie/alfer another go, and the whole eddie thing was pretty cool when he saved nina. I hope they make a season 3, and I think they probably will b/c they still have to explain the whole osirian thing and there was the thing the end w/ the ring w/ the tear of gold inside. So, this story starts around 6 o'clock American east coast time, which I guess would make it around 11 England time. For the sake of the story, let's pretend the exhibition ended right before the holidays, I know it doesn't fit for the actual show timing, but that's how it works for the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own HoA. If I did, we would all know more about eddie and the osirian.
Eddie's POV
I rang the doorbell of the Martin residence, with my mom right behind me on the doorstep. When Nina and I figured out we live 30 minutes away from each other on the plane back to
the states after this term, Nina's gran invited us over for a New Year's Eve party. Nina opened the door with a smile. "Hi Eddie. Mrs. Miller, come in." We stepped through the doorstep
and into the front hall. There were several adults milling around, but I didn't see any kids. My mom handed a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Martin. She smiled and went to get a vase. Nina
smiled, "The kids are in the basement." She led me to a door and we went downstairs. There were around 10 kids milling around, all around our age. "Nina, where were you, I thought
you were just going to the bathroom." A preppy brunette with her hair in a headband asked. "I was, but the doorbell rang." Nina pushed me forward, "This is my friend Eddie." I gave a
small wave. "Nice to meet you, I'm Eddie." "Janet." Nina pointed to her other friends, "And these are Ben, Jane, Kimmi, Lily, Evan, Jake, Cody, Nick, and Fay." They all waved to me.
Just then a ping came from Nina's laptop. "Nina," Fay called, "It's someone named 'EgyptDude' (A/N I kno it's not the most creative screen name, but it's a quarter to 12 right
now and I can't think of anything else right now. And 1 guess as to who it is :D) is requesting to video chat with you." Nina moved faster than I have ever seen her move when
a spirit isn't involved, and clicked the answer call button. I then saw Fabian's face on the screen, along with the rest of our housemates. "Hi Fabian," Nina said. "Hey Nines." She smiled
at him, "Can you hold on a sec? I need to take the computer into another room." "Sure." Nina moved herself and her laptop to another room and closed the door. The next thing I knew,
all of the girls were huddled around the door. "What are you doing?" I asked, but Kimmi shushed me. "Be quiet. We've never met Fabian, and we want to know what he's like." I
shrugged and sent out a quick text to Nina and Fabian.
Eddie: nina's friends r eavesdropping on ur conversation. Might wanna b careful about wat u say.
Nina: of course they r thanks 4 letting me kno
Fabian: thanks 4 the heads up
Nina's POV
I was just about to start talking to Fabian when our phones chimed. I pulled mine out and checked my texts. It was from Eddie, letting me & Fabian know that my friends were listening
in to our conversation. I typed back a quick reply of thanks. Then I turned back to Fabian. "So, how was your Christmas Fabian?" "It was good. I got a new book on mythology from
Jasper. And my parents got me a new telescope." "That's cool. I got a charm bracelet from my best friends back here. One of the charms is Anubis. And they stuck a house charm right
next to it. Oh, and they managed to find an eye of Horus charm to match my locket." "That's cute. To be honest, I just kinda wished I could spend my Christmas with you." An
uncontrollable smile grew on my face. "Me too. Maybe someday we will. But we'll probably be spending loads of time together next term. Knowing us, there's going to be yet another
mystery. Hopefully minus the crazy people and evil spirits." "Yeah." Then I heard a banging noise and yelling. "Fabian Rutter. Let me talk to my best friend." Fabian smiled, "I think
that's my cue to unlock the door. Before Amber and Patricia kill me. And Alfie probably wants to talk to you also." "Yup. Should I go get Eddie? I'm assuming Patricia misses him."
Patricia, who was now in the room, blushed a deep red. Jerome, who was also there, started laughing at her. Along with Alfie. "Aww. Trixie is blushing." Jerome said. Patricia just
chucked a roll at his gut. Hard. Jerome doubled over. "How is that possible? You just made Jerome double over in pain with a roll." Mara asked. Jerome managed to wheeze out a
sarcastic, "Thanks for the support, oh girlfriend of mine." "Sorry." Mara said. I smiled and opened the door. "Eddie, get in here before Patricia kills Jerome." "Now that would be
entertaining." "Eddie. If you don't get in here soon, Patricia may hurt you when she sees you. And she has a lot more in her repertoire than just dumping pitchers of milk on people's
heads." Eddie got up and tried to act like he was nonchalantly going to the laptop, but I could see he was excited. Before I could go back in to the room, my friends attacked me.
"Change of plans. Tell Amber and Fabian to text me later." "Will do. Should I tell you when I'm done talking to Yacker?" "Yes." I heard the door close, and my friends dragged me to the
couch. Jane started in. "He's sounds so sweet. Do you think you love him?" "I know I love him." "Does he love you?" Evan askd. "Because if he doesn't I'm here for you. If you want a
shoulder to cry on." I rolled my eyes. Evan and I went out on a couple dates before I found out I got a scholarship to boarding school, but I told him I didn't think it was going to work
when I found out I was going to school in England. I thought he was fine with us just being friends, but Ben told me he kept whining after I left. Lily and Janet hit Evan on the head.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. At the end of exhibition party, he told me I was his one." I pulled a new necklace out from where the charm was nestled in my shirt. "And he gave me this for
Christmas." It was a silver heart locket with "Fabina" engraved in it. I opened it up, revealing a picture of Fabian and I kissing at prom last year. All of my girl friends awed. "Why does it
say Fabina on it?" Jake asked. "Oh, my friend Amber likes to make up couple names for everybody when they get together." "That would explain the Peddie," Eddie said, walking back
into the room. "That's nothing, Has she started on the scrapbook yet?" Eddie got a mixture of surprise and disgust on his face. "There's a scrapbook?" "Amber makes scrapbooks for
everyone. Don't worry. Amber probably won't make yours and Patricia's all fluffy and pink and girly. I saw a lot of purple, blue, black, silver and red markers and paper and stuff in a art
store bag in our room." Eddie handed me my computer. "It's 10 of midnight in England." I flipped open my laptop and pulled up skype, then I video called Fabian. In 3 seconds his face
filled the screen, with Amber, Alfie, Patricia, Mara, Jerome, and Joy behind him, just hanging out. "Hey, so how's your new year going? I never got to ask." "It's good how's yours?" "It's
good. I miss you." "I miss you too." I could feel Evan rolling his eyes behind me. I sighed and turned my head around, "Well excuse me for saying I miss you to my boyfriend who is an
ocean away during the one night we could kiss in public and not have our friends interrupt us. Now please stop rolling your eyes." I whipped my head back around to see a shocked
Fabian. I smiled sheepishly, "Sorry. I'm a bit touchy tonight. That was probably a bit uncalled for." I heard Evan mutter, "You think?" Then I heard a slap. "Thank you to whoever slapped
Evan." I called out. "So, what do you want in the new year?" "I don't know. Nothing bad happening. No evil spirits, no evil people, no breaking up." "The last one definitely won't be
happening. This term, we are actually going to go on an actual date. And as for bad people and events, probably the only thing we'll have to deal with is Victor and his crazy rules and
Mr. Sweet giving Jerome and Alfie chemicals in science class." Alfie and Jerome both let out shouts of indignation. Mara smiled at Jerome, "You have to admit it's true, I've never ever
once see a science experiment go the way it's supposed to when you and Alfie are the ones doing it." "What happens?" Nick asked from behind me. I heard Eddie answer, "There have
been several small fires and explosions." I then heard Amber in the background, "Guys, it's time to start counting down." All of my other housemates started counting down. When the
clock there struck midnight, Jerome swept Mara into his arms, as did Alfie with Amber. Patricia squished in next to Fabian on the couch, and Joy had disappeared somewhere. "Happy
New year Nines." Fabian said. "Happy New Year Fabian." "Happy New Year slimeball," Patricia said. "Happy New Year yacker." Eddie said. I noticed Mara and Jerome in the background,
still kissing. I started laughing. Eddie noticed it too and started cracking up. Fabian and Patricia got confused looks on their faces. I made the hand motion that indicated turn around.
Patricia and Fabian swiveled their heads. "Jerome! Mara! Can you please stop making out for the sake of us who have significant others halfway around the world?" Patricia yelled.
Jerome and Mara jumped apart, grinning. "Ha!" Eddie exclaimed, "I knew you missed me yacker." Patricia just rolled her eyes. Joy came back into the room with a bunch of champagne
glasses and a bottle of sparkling cider on a tray. She poured glasses and handed them to everyone. After a few more minutes, Fabian logged off. My friends and I chatted and watched
movies until it was almost midnight our time. When the ball dropped, Evan scooped me into his arms and started to lean in for a kiss, until I hit him. "Evan," I said, exasperated, "every
new year since we were 7, you have tried to kiss me at midnight, and every new year since we were 7, I have hit you at midnight. So go get a kiss at midnight for once by getting
yourself a girl who won't hit you." I then heard laughing from behind me. But it didn't sound like it was directly in the room. I turned around and saw Fabian and Patricia's faces on
separate little compartments on my computer screen. "How did you? What? Ugh, whatever." Patricia started laughing even more. "I set my alarm so I could video call Eddie to talk to
him at midnight your time, and I guess Fabian did the same thing so he could talk to you." Fabian had a slightly jealous expression on his face. "Who was that guy?" "One of my good
friends who plays the same trick every new year by trying to 'spontaneously' kiss me at midnight . Why, are you jealous?" "Well, I'm gonna go now. See you in a few days, yeah? Happy
new year." Patricia said, and then it was just Fabian on the screen. "No." I started giggling. "I think it's cute. Happy new year Fabian. You should probably get some sleep." "Yeah. Happy
New Year. See you in a few days." "Yeah. Can't wait."
A/N sorry if it's not the best.
