It was some sort of miracle how Sophie and her friends controlled their emotions while enjoying a delicious dinner with everyone else.

Penelope has to repeatedly squeeze Colin's hand underneath the table to keep him in check, especially after his mom noticed his red cheeks. "Colin, dear, were you crying?"

Suddenly all eyes were on him as he tried to control his sniffs. "No, mom, I just got cold."

Sophie's shoulder fell in relief as others completely bought it, although Anthony was staring at his brother in concern. "Col, if you want, I can take you to the doctor."

"Relax, dad; he said it was just a cold." Benedict reminded his brother in annoyance, but soon everyone jumped up when Colin angrily slapped his hand on the table. "Why are you such a prick? Can't brothers care for each other without one being dad?"

Benedict gaped at his twin brother, who was glaring at him, while others looked stunned by this sudden outburst. "Col, I was just joking."

"Well, picking on our elder brother for his caring tendencies is not funny! It makes me sick how you always pick on him because he cares for this family; hell, he cares for you and you don't deserve it, and your attitude just makes me sick!"

Colin stood up and stormed towards his room, quickly followed by Penelope and Sophie. Benedict stared after his brother before his eyes met with those of his other siblings, especially Anthony, and he knew they were once again disappointed by him, especially his mother, who was shaking her head.

Anthony watched as Benedict walked towards his room too, as his mother sighed. "I am so sorry, Kate, dear."

Kate smiled as she assured her. "It's alright; I have a young sister too, so I am not a stranger to shouting matches at the dinner table."

Anthony still felt gratitude when Kate squeezed his hand underneath the table.

Back in Colin's room, Penelope and Sophie were trying to restrain Colin, who was on the verge of a breakdown. "Let me tell her! Let me tell her."

"No Colin! You are thinking this emotionally and not rationally." Penelope tried to make him see the reason as she all but climbed over his back to snatch Anthony's USB from his hands while Sophie tried to take it from the other side. "Pen is right, Col; telling Kate everything at once could overwhelm her about Anthony's feelings. You need to consider this from both of their perspectives. They are like two planets circling around each other all their lives, and if we want these two planets to align, then we need to bring Anthony and Kate into each other orbit rather than making all his feelings fall on her like hot burning asteroid."

"My brother's love is not like an asteroid." Colin defended.

"It is! you gullible sweet man!" Penelope insists as she finally gets her hand on the USB. "We are not talking about some silly crush! Your brother absolutely worshipped, sort of, Kate Sharma, while she has no idea that Anthony carried the torch for her all his life. She must be devastated, filled with guilt for not realising Anthony's feelings, and that could ruin their chances of finding true happiness without pressure from intense feelings and Kate's popularity.

Sophie agreed with Penelope, as she advised. "Let Kate and Anthony be together at first like any other girl and boy. Then afterwards. If Anthony decides to share his childhood feelings, hopefully they will be stronger place in their relationship that she will appreciate Anthony's love more."

Colin sighed as he relented, and at that moment the door opened, and Benedict's eyes widen when he sees Penelope on Colin's back while Sophie clings to his front. "What the hell is going on?"

Colin, Penelope, and Sophie stared at each other before quickly standing in straight line as they said in union. "Nothing."

Benedict stared at them wearily before clearing his throat as he spoke uneasily. "I came here to apologise; I realise now that dad joke was of poor taste."

"It's not me you should apologise to; I know you have issues with Anthony, but picking on him for caring about us is unfair."

Penelope and Sophie stood awkwardly as Benedict sighed while admitting. "I know, it's just annoying that he acts like dad used to be with us."

Colin glared at him as he reminded him of one bitter truth. "Then be grateful that we still have a caring brother who still reminds us of our dad because Anthony cannot say the same."

Sophie watched as Benedict stared, stunned by his brother's words; his face showed his hurt about what Colin just said. Benedict slowly left the room, and once he was gone, Colin sighed as Penelope embraced her friend. "Do not worry, Col; things will get better one day."

Colin embraces her back as he asks. "So Angels, what's the plan?"

"First thing first, we need to make them spend more time together." Sophie suggests making Penelope smile cheerfully, as she said. "Leave that to me."

"His muscular arms grabbed my legs as he flipped me on the back. His sharp teeth bit my neck as he used it to tear my thin night slip of my back."

A knock disturbed Principal Charlotte as she lifted her eyes from her lap-top screen,where she was typing the next chapter of her erotica. "Vampire and his Viscountess"

"Yes, Ms. Featherington, how can I help you?"

Penelope smiled as she confidently walked inside the office and started phase A of their plan. "Principal Charlotte, I am here to discuss a wonderful idea to increase our school funds."

As soon as she heard word about school funds, Charlotte perked up. "Tell me, brilliant girl? What is this brilliant idea?"

"Well, as you see, we have a great celebrity, Kate Sharma, amongst us. I was wondering if we had her featured in our school magazine. You know a photo shoot spread with one of our senior male students who she is comfortable working with. Just think about it. Our magazine can collaborate with Mayfair Times to combine features on Kate 'Sharma, not just that our school drama department can shoot a romantic music video featuring Kate and our one senior student; just think all the publicity you, I mean, our school could get from the music video and photo shoot."

Penelope could see Principal Charlotte's brain was working as she imagined how much this could gain popularity for the school.

"Brilliant! Ms Featherington I always knew you would be a great asset to me—I mean, this school! Just tell me, Who is this senior who is going to do both photo shoots and music videos with our Kate Sharma?"

At that, Penelope gave her an assuring smile. "Oh, trust me, Principal, the moment everyone sees her with this senior, they will only say four words to complement them."

"Which are?" Charlotte inquires intriguingly.

"Match made in heaven."

As soon as Penelope got clearance from Principal Charlotte, she rushed outside to meet her friends.

Sophie and Colin were just waiting outside the office when they saw Penelope. "Well?"

Penelope showed them two thumbs up, and Colin and Sophie cheered before he swooped Penelope into his arms and spun her in circles. "You are just brilliant, you know that?"

"I do, now put me down so I can tell you both what you are."

Colin looked confused as he put Penelope down. "What exactly are we?"

"From now on, you are head of the drama department, and Sophie will assist me with costume and other stuff, and together, the three of us will be in charge of gathering students and crew members for the photo shoot and music video."

Sophie looked impressed while Colin's mouth fell open. "Wait a minute, we need a whole bunch of other people to bring my brother and Kate together."

"We do, Colin." Sophie informed him. "Do you have any idea how many people are behind these shoots and video-making stuff?"

"Precisely, do not worry about hiring students and crew; I have that handled already, but you need to tell everyone that you are now head of the drama department." Penelope pressed, making Colin look even more confused as he asked. "Why me? I have never done any drama in my life."

"You will, buddy, if you want to convince Anthony to star alongside Kate Sharma."

With that, Penelope and Sophie left to make preparations, leaving a baffled Colin behind. I have to do what?"

As it turns out, Colin was left with the most difficult job because that night during dinner (the third night in a row), the Bridgerton's got to see another conversation.

"You want me to do what?" Anthony asked as Colin gulped and ignored the curious faces of his family as he tried to convince his brother. "Principal Charlotte wants a photo shoot and a music video on our school premises featuring Kate Sharma and any senior she is most comfortable and friendly with, and I, as head of the drama department, suggested your name."

As he expected, the news came out like the biggest shock, and then, to his surprise, Anthony started laughing. "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Slowly, the rest of his family started laughing as Benedict patted his back. "Good one, brother."

After a long time, Anthony agreed with Benedict on something. "That was a really funny joke, mom. I always told you if anyone knows how to spread laughter, it's your third son.

Violet smiled and then noticed that while everyone was laughing, Colin seemed serious. "Oh dear."

Soon everyone catches up, and Anthony's eyes widen as he realizes. "You, are you serious?"

"I told you, as head of the drama department, I chose you."

"Since when did you become head of the drama department?" Benedict inquired in confusion, and Anthony frowned too. "I don't remember you ever being interested in dramatics."

"Well, not all of us tend to share our hidden talents, do we?" Colin inquires in a challenging tone that stops Anthony from making any more inquiries.

"Wait a minute, you mean to say our brother is going to feature in a photo shoot and music video with Kate Sharma?" Daphne inquires excitedly. "

"Yup!"

"This is so cool! I cannot wait to tell my friends!" Daphne cheered.

"Colin, can I be part of the video?" Francesca inquires.

"Please take us for shooting." Eloise begged.

"Honey will be on TV." Hyacinth asked, staring happily at her brother.

"Yes, and on the front cover of Mayfair magazine." Colin informed his family, making Violet beam in delight. "Oh, this is wonderful! I cannot wait to tell everyone!"

"Mom, there is no need to get excited because I am not doing any of this." Anthony finally said, and suddenly all the excitement went down the drain.

"But Anthony, this will be a great opportunity for both of us." Colin tried, but Anthony shook his head. "Colin, you chose the wrong guy; Kate deserves someone better to feature with than a nobody like me."

"But."

"Forget him, Col; I will do it for you." Benedict offered excitedly before Colin snapped. "You are not a senior student, and Principal Charlotte wants someone senior with whom Kate feels comfortable."

Benedict grumbled something under his breath, while Anthony sighed as he stared at Colin's pleading face. "I am sorry, Col., but I think you should find anyone else."

Colin watched as his mom and younger siblings quietly resigned, looking dejected, but he was not going to give up.

Benedict stared at Colin as he quickly typed something on his cell phone before putting it back, but not before Ben was able to peek at the weird message. "Angels send the goddess to convince her humble human."

Angels, Goddess? Benedict wonders what kind of cult his twin has joined.

After dinner, Bridgerton's were packing their school bags while Anthony was clearing the table when their doorbell rang.

"Mom, was someone coming?" Anthony inquired as he stared at his watch.

Violet frowned and shook her head as everyone looked at the door when Daphne went to open it. "Mom, it's Kate, Sophie, and Penelope."

Daphne hugged Kate, who smiled, and walked inside the Bridgerton house.

Anthony was surprised, to say the least, as Kate walked straight to him with a beaming smile on her face as she flung her arms around his body to embrace him. "I am so happy when girls informed me Colin chose you to feature with me! At first, I was resenting this idea because I wanted some normalcy this year, but when they told me it would be you by my side, I cannot tell you how excited this new thing made me."

Colin discreetly fist bumped his co-Angels as Anthony stood frozen while listening to Kate and how excited she was to feature with him.

Anthony gently pulls her away as he inquires. "Are you sure you want me to feature with you? I am a school shrew. The most unlikable Bridgerton?"

"Who says you are unlikable because I like you best out of everyone and I cannot explain how delighted I feel doing this with my partner?"

Anthony's cheeks turned red as Kate stared at him with pleading eyes. "So, Mr. Bridgerton, now that it's clear how much I want you by my side, will you feature with me?"

Violet beamed as her children leapt forward to convince their elder brother. "Please, Anthony! Please say yes!"

"Please! Please! Please!" Kate, Sophie, and Penelope joined in, making Anthony smile at all of their silly faces.

"Oh, come on, man! Say yes!" Benedict insisted, as he could not resist feeling excited for his brother.

Kate gave him his most pleading eyes as she brought Hyacinth and Gregory in front of her, who joined in pleading. "Please Honey. Please say yes!"

Finally, Anthony cracked a smile. "Alright, I will do whatever this is."

Suddenly he was ambushed, as many arms wrapped around him shouted their excitement. Anthony stared at Kate's face above his siblings heads, and he could not help but smile back at her.

"Well, angels, the planets are now in each other's orbits." Sophie says as she stares at Kate and Anthony, lost in each other's eyes, with radiant smiles on their faces.
