Author Note: Yay! You guys seemed to like the first chapter, which really makes me happy! Woohoo! This chapter is all about my favorite couple. So this is a flashback to when Joy was still alive. I think you'll figure out who's dream it is pretty quick. And then your gonna totally judge me for putting this in cause I'm way too obsessed, but I had to ok? You'll enjoy it, I promise!
But, before we start I need to take a moment to talk about PLL. (You will have to excuse me cause I'm actually like dancing) I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! I TOLD EVERYBODY AND THEY REFUSED TO BELIEVE IT BUT I KNEW IT! Ok, sorry about that. I just had to.
Disclaimer: I don't own HOA or PLL.
"Joy?" Patricia asked. "Are you sure we have to wear our hair up to Mick's party?"
"Yes." Joy told her. "The October party is always the hair up one."
"Who came up with that stupid rule?"
"Me."
"Oh."
"Hey, I'm not gonna judge you. The other girls are a different story. Wimping out of Micks party." Joy scoffed.
"I can't say I blame them. They're bit... scandalous."
"Oh Patty, I bet you'll enjoy this one."
"Why do you say that?"
"Eddie's gonna be there."
"Why do I care?"
"I never said you did. I just think you will enjoy it more with him there."
"Meaning?"
"He likes you."
"No he doesn't. He's specifically told me he hates me on several occasions."
"He thinks you don't like him back."
"I don't."
"Whatever you say."
"Joy!"
"If he asked you out would you say yes?"
"I don't know. Maybe."
"Maybe? I thought you'd be more feisty."
"Who cares? He isn't gonna ask me out anyway. It doesn't matter."
Patricia giggled. She was dancing her heart out with complete strangers, completely drunk. The was only the second one of Micks parties shed been to, so she was still experimenting with all the wonders of them.
"Oh Trixie, you should come to these parties more often." Mick said.
"Ya, well, if Joy were to trust me to behave at a party then maybe I'd come to more." Mick laughed.
"So? Are you scoping out for a new boyfriend?"
"Dunno. After Pat Ryan I seriously need a break from you idiots!"
"What do you think of the new kid?" Mick asked.
"Well, the two of you seemed to have bonded fairly quick."
"Eddie's a cool guy. He certainly brightens up the party."
Patricia glanced over to where Eddie was. He was surrounded by about 3 girls, looking rather distressed.
"He looks miserable." she remarked.
"Those girls won't leave him alone." Patricia chuckled.
Eddie caught her glance.
"Help me!" He mouthed to her. Patricia rolled her eyes.
"I'm gonna go save his butt." Patricia told Mick.
"Good luck." Mick mumbled.
Patricia pushed past the 3 girls and walked straight up to Eddie and started to dance with him.
"Excuse me?" One of the girls said.
"What?" Patricia spat.
"We were just dancing with Eddie."
"Well now I'M dancing with Eddie."
Eddie wrapped his arm around her waist and walked her out of the corner and onto the dance floor. The girls gasped.
"Back off." Patricia whispered to them.
Two of the girls started to follow, but one stopped them.
"Don't even try. It's so obvious he likes her." she said.
Meanwhile Eddie and Patricia were laughing their heads off at what had just happened.
"They were like 'Ohhhh Eddie'" Patricia joked. Eddie chuckled.
"Hey, some people find me very attractive."
"Ya, and others find you very annoying."
"Which side are you on?" Patricia rolled her eyes at him.
"You should be thanking me."
"Well thank you Yacker. That was... Pretty amazing." Patricia shrugged.
"Im just an amazing person."
"I know."
He looked into her eyes and started to lean in, Patricia leaning in also.
"Patricia! Eddie!" Joy called. Patricia instantly moved backward, trying to pretend nothing happened. "Come to the bar!"
"Almost got a kiss back there?" Mick asked Eddie.
"Mind your own business dude." Eddie slurred.
"I was talking to her earlier about you. Couldn't really tell if she was into you or what."
"She's not."
"Don't give up." Mick patted his friends shoulder.
"Its not like I'm into her either. I don't fall for girls." Eddie said.
"You say that everyday. I see through it. So does Joy."
"Joy?! Joy Mercer knows I like Patricia?"
"So you finally admit it."
"How could you tell her? She's like the gossip queen."
"I didn't tell her. Any person with half a brain could figure it out. I mean, you're looking at her right now aren't you?"
"No, I'm not."
"Yes you are. I see you staring at her."
"I stare at girls, it doesn't mean anything."
"You like her."
"I do not."
"Just admit it."
"I'm gonna go talk to her."
"Make sure to tell her you like her while you're there!"
"No!"
Eddie walked over to a dancing Patricia. She had a drink in hand.
"You know I just heard your entire conversation win Mick." she said evilly.
"What do you mean?!" She just giggled.
"God dammit." She whispered in his ear. She started to circle around him. "Why does everyone think you like me?"
"I don't know. But it's getting on my nerves."
"Tell me about it." Patricia giggled again and wrapped an arm around Eddies shoulder from the back.
"Patricia... What are you doing?"
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No. Please don't. But don't you think you've had enough to drink?"
"Not quite." she was whispering into his ear.
"Yacker give me the glass."
"So protective." she teased. She handed him the glass and he set it on a table.
"There. You wanna dance?" Eddie asked.
"Oh no. Not more dancing. I'm all danced out."
"No you aren't. Now c'mon." He grabbed her hand and dragged her onto the dance floor.
Just as they started dancing, a slow song came on. Everyone around them started pairing off with the nearest person. Patricia saw Joy and Mick dancing, as well as Fabian and Nina.
"You wanna dance?" Eddie asked. Patricia giggled and nodded, wrapping her arms around is shoulders, his arms around her waist.
"Eddie?" Patricia said like a small child. "Why do all these boys keep coming up to ask me to dance? It's annoying." Eddie chuckled.
"They think you're hot Patricia."
"Ugh why?"
"Because you are."
"Is that why so many stupid boys are all into me?"
"Unfortunately yes." Patricia sighed.
"No one actually likes me for me."
"Is that why you don't want a new boyfriend? Because you think they won't like you for you? Theyll just like you cause your beautiful?"
"Did you just call me beautiful?"
"No, I don't remember that coming up."
"Well I do." Patricia kissed him softly. Eddie, a bit shocked at first, found it second nature to kiss back. How is it possible that a girl could be such a good kisser? Just as he was starting to get into it, she pulled away.
"Sorry." she said, blushing. "Im really drunk aren't I?"
"Drunk or not, it's ok. Would you be horribly offended if I asked you to do it again?" Patricia laughed.
"I guess I could... But there's so many people out here. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"You wanna go to the game room?" Patricia nodded.
Joy watched the pair kiss with a smirk on her face. She was right, once again. Although she knew Patty wouldn't remember it the next day.
"Patricia." Joy said, entering the room. Patricia broke apart from the kiss panting.
"What?"
"Hate to burst your bubble, but it's like 4 am. We need to leave."
"Joy Mercer wants to leave a party?"
"I think you're drunk enough sweetie. Unless you want to explain to your mother why you slept over here tonight..."
"Uh you're right. But I can't go over there like this."
"Fine, stay at my place. You're parents won't mind that."
"Gimmie a minute to get my stuff." Patricia whined.
"I'll meet you outside." Joy knew "get my stuff" was code for finish up with Eddie.
"I should probably go too." Eddie said. Patricia hugged him tightly and Eddie smiled.
"You know I like you." he whispered.
"No you don't. You just think I'm pretty." she whispered back.
"No that's not true at all." He kissed her again.
"Eddie, thanks."
"For what?"
"Making me feel special." She smiled at him sweetly.
Patricia woke up with a start. Every memory from a year ago flowed back to her. Everything from that night of Micks party. She smiled. Eddie had been so sweet to her, even if she was drunk and didn't remember any of it. She couldn't believe Joy hadnt told her, but she probably didn't want her ending up with Eddie just yet.
Eddie met Patricia at her house, ready to walk to school. Patricia came out almost instantly, giving him a huge hug.
"I love you so much." she said. He smiled and kiss her forehead.
"I love you too... But interesting timing." Patricia laughed.
"It was to say thanks."
"For what?"
"Making me feel special." And suddenly Eddie understood. He took her hand and the pair walked to school.
"Whats going on here?" Eddie asked, seeing all the cop cars in front of the school. "Who's that lady?"
"I'm not sure... But why is she coming to our school?" Patricia motioned to Caroline walking over to them.
"Crap, she's coming over here! Act natural."
"Eddie, she's not gonna arrest us."
"You don't know that!"
"Hello Ms. Williamson, Mr. Miller."
"How do you know our names?" Patricia asked.
"I've been hearing a lot about both of you. One of the local prisoners Nina Martin informed me that you may be able to help solve Joy Mercers murder." Caroline informed them.
Eddie and Patricia glanced at each other. Even in jail Nina was still trying to get them into trouble.
"Nina Martin said that?" Eddie asked.
"Yes. Would you mind if I brought you in for questioning." Denby motioned toward the schools front doors. Not seeing much of a choice, the pair walked in.
Authors Note: Alright, so I really wanted to do this because we all know how much I love Peddie. I bet all you Peddie fans really enjoyed this one :) more Peddie to come! And just to clarify, they haven't told the cops about what happened to Joy because then they'll take Fabian out of the mental hospital and to jail. So I know these first chapters haven't really been about the story, but I wanted to mix it up a bit before I got onto the main plot. Believe me, the next chapter is right back on track.
