A/N: Really sorry for the late updates, I got extremely busy with school and then the flu hit.. Not good timing. Anyway, I'm going to try to move in more AU direction next chapter and stop relying so heavily on the show itself except for reference. Thank you all for the reviews.

Diana found herself pacing her room as her mind buzzed with the day's events. The sounds of her shoes on the floor were the only background to her thoughts and she found it rather soothing. A nice contrast to the clamor within her head. Today she had talked to Cassie, or at least greeted her , proposing to meet her at the docks but she had been late and unfortunately someone had gotten there first. Diana let out a heavy breath as she ran her hand through her hair in exasperation. Of course it had been Faye who was responsible for the fact that Cassie had almost been burned alive inside her own car. Of all the things Faye could have done to welcome the girl whose mother had just died in a fire trying to kill her with fire was probably not the best idea. She had been late by ten minutes, ten minutes and something caught fire. Faye was like a child sometimes, she honestly had no perspective whatsoever. Diana threw herself onto her large bed with a hand over her eyes; she was going to have to talk to Faye that was a certainty. Thank God Adam had been there, if it hadn't been for him- she sighed again willing herself to stop thinking about it. What was done was done and now she had to go talk to Faye, arrange a meeting with Cassie and the rest of the Circle members and find a way in which she could explain the Circle to Cassie in a rational manner. Quite the tall order if she did say so herself.

Somehow Diana found her mind drifting towards Faye again. To be fair, she wasn't positive Faye had conjured up the energy to endanger Cassie. After all she had only seen Faye leave with Melissa, but she had been there and like the common saying went, "Where there's smoke there's fire." Diana frowned; she really had to stop thinking about fire. Faye was like fire, all wild and untamable but in the end all you needed was something to douse her out with. Though finding something to cool her down was like finding water in a desert. If anything, Diana was more like the oil to Faye's fire and anything she said made Faye burn even hotter. The other girl had such a talent for ignoring everything Diana tried to tell her, walking off with that little smirk on her face.

Diana got up and began to pace again, thinking about the other girl just made her remember all the things she had done in the past. All the stupid, thoughtless, dangerous things. Shaking her head, Diana decided it was time to go talk to the other girl and get it over with. She really didn't expect anything but maybe if she tried something would get through. After all Faye had been acting differently that morning, maybe it meant something. Already planning what she was going to say Diana walked to down to her car and headed to the Chamberlain home.

Diana walked up the front porch of the household with tentative steps, running her plan through her head one more time. She was going to tell Faye to cut it out, explain once more why the Circle needed to be bound and get out. It was that simple, or at least Diana could pretend it was, for some reason the idea of talking to Faye was making her nervous. Diana set her lips into a thin line; she was determined to overcome this absurd feeling of anxiety. Why was she anxious? This was Faye she was talking to and the only emotions he should be feeling was irritation. Not butterflies.

Soon enough she was greeted by Ms. Chamberlain and hardly opened her mouth before Faye made her presence known from the stairs. Naturally she looked as guiltless as possible and completely and utterly relaxed. Effortlessly gliding past her mother she glanced at Diana, obviously wondering what had driven her to come visit Faye.

"What did you do to Cassie's car?" Diana said, not bothering to beat around the bush, she had come here to talk to Faye about this and had no time for niceties.

"Why do you assume I'm the one who did it." Faye responded in a mocking tone, smirking at Diana.

Diana hardly gave her answer a second though, obviously she had done it. Diana felt the irritation she had been feeling begin to grow as she spoke again, "Did you? It was stupid and reckless. You risked exposure." Her final words tinged with a manifestation of her anger. Faye's smirk widened and she simply circled Diana, brushing by her to take a seat on one of the porch banisters.

"I was testing her. We all wanted to know Diana, I cut to the chase."

"You could have hurt Cassie." Diana snapped back. She was staring at Faye with an expression that she hoped conveyed her feelings of irritation appropriately, but she could feel the nerves she had been feeling come back. Faye was talking again but somehow Diana wasn't really catching it, Faye was looking at her intently as she spoke her eyebrows quirking as if they had a life of their own. To this day Diana hadn't yet met anyone with a more animated face than Faye, and she was still talking. Claiming that she wasn't completely responsible, Cassie's energy had had a hand in the fire created, and their energies had connected. Connected? Diana listened as Faye continued speaking; apparently she had been right with all her Circle talk. Of course she had been right; she knew what she had been talking about. Her train of thought was interrupted as Faye apparently thought that they should tell Cassie who she was immediately. Diana widened her eyes slightly, "We all agreed we were going to take this slow Faye."

Faye scoffed and drawled out a response, "No, you said we were going to take it slow and we all nodded."

"Her mother just died she needs time, we're doing this my way Faye." Diana said, her voice tinted with an air of finality. Faye hopped off the banister as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, that ship has sailed."

Diana snapped her nerves already tense but now Faye was displaying that irritating trait of hers and being an ass. Her eyes met Faye's and she uttered, "Do not push me Faye. I mean it." Faye however, obviously didn't take Diana seriously because she took several steps forward sliding up to Diana. She slid her eyes up to Diana's letting out a contemplative sound, "Are you sure, because I didn't quite buy that did you?" At this point Diana couldn't help but notice how close Faye was to her. Their faces merely inches apart, she could even feel the other girls breath on her face. Their eyes were meeting in a way which paralyzed Diana and she had no idea why, she couldn't speak and Faye simply looked Diana over once again before breaking the spell and walking away.

"Good Night Diana."

Diana stared after her, completely confused. What had just happened? Was it their energies that had caused that strange feeling or maybe Cassie's arrival had added a new layer to the magic. Diana knew that wasn't it and she turned away quickly, not able to shake the Goosebumps from her skin. Her stomach knotted and her blood pounding, she drove home with the radio silent trying to take her mind off the unsuccessful encounter she had just had.
