A/N: Not too sure about this one...Ok I know saying that is the facebook equivalent of uploading a photo and saying you look fat and ugly in it, but I've never uploaded a photo saying I look bad just to fish for compliments, so I'm allowed to do it on here. It is the law of the internet.

Pairing: Implied Phoenix/ Maya by Pearl.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. But I do own a tent. I slept on a roof in one once. Because I am badass. And Awesome. And I play my own keyboard, because tootin' your own trumpet is mega bad or something.

Special Someone

"It's 'a great idea' you said, 'it'll be fun!' you said! How is this fun at all? It's freezing!"

Both Maya and Pearl laughed at Phoenix as he complained for the eighth time since arriving at the campsite a couple of hours ago.

"You think its cold now, wait until the sun goes down, Nick." Maya laughed. "Besides, it's nice to leave that stuffy office and get out for once!"

"The sun is down Maya. That's just a light we have."

"Oh!" She said, suddenly aware of her surroundings as if she'd been having too much fun to notice.

'Yeah right!' Phoenix thought, 'who could have fun in this temperature?'

...

As the watch on Phoenix's wrist was nearing midnight he decided to call it a night. Pearl was already fast asleep, and Maya was following closely behind but seemed to be shivering too much to actually sleep.

In his attempts to turn the light off before getting into his sleeping bag Phoenix accidently trod on Maya, who in turn shrieked loudly which caused the 9 year old next to them to wake up with a start.

"Mystic Maya! What's wrong?" She demanded, incredibly alarmed at the potential danger.

"Nothing, Pearly. Nick just stood on me with his big foot, that's all. Go back to sleep." She said soothingly to Pearl, though Phoenix detected her slightly vicious tone no doubt directed at him.

"I can't!" She wailed, "I'm far too cold now I've woken up."

"Don't worry, I'll warm you up." Maya said with a smile to her younger cousin, and on Pearl's refusal for Maya's risks, she was told that you do things for the people you love.

Maya came to regret saying that only a minute later.

"Mystic Maya, are you cold too?"

"A little bit." Maya admitted.

"Then why isn't Mr Nick warming you up?" Pearl demanded, obviously outraged that Maya's special someone wasn't fulfilling his requirements.

Maya hesitated for a second before saying that she was more accustomed to cold weather because of her training so she would be Ok without Nick's help.

"In that case..." Pearl began, "why aren't you warming Mr Nick up? He's your special someone!"

"She has a point." Was the last thing Maya heard Nick say before being deafened by an excited squeal of delight from her younger cousin who felt like her fantasy had just come true.

Now all she had to do was work on Mr Edgey-worth.

Double update which in no way makes up for my long and unexplained absence... *mysterious noises and floor mist descending.*
