Mick was wondering around the house pointlessly before breakfast. Trudy was in the kitchen cooking - Mick didn't know what - but he knew it smelt really good. The smell wafted from the kitchen through the house, and into the living room.

Mick, being very hungry, even after the enormous dinner he had eaten last night, wondered aimlessly over to the fridge and opened it, not knowing what he wanted. A cacophony of spine tingling, vibrating sounds were emitting from the fridge so he kicked it to stop it. He closed it again, being to indecisive to choose what to eat and walked back over and took a seat at the dining table, grabbing an apple from the fruit basket.

"Mick?" Trudy asked, her back still facing Mick's as she cooked on the stove.

"Mhm," Mick hummed in response, his mouth full of apple.

"Did you eat that cake that was in the fridge last night?" Trudy interrogated.

"Maybe," Mick smirked, turning towards Trudy.

"You're not meant to eat at night. It's bad for your digestive system," she shook her head in amusement, however concerned.

"Then why is there a light in the fridge, Trudes?" Alfie asked cheekily, walking into the room alongside Jerome, with Patricia and Joy behind them.

Trudy just chuckled at this remark as she served blueberry hot cakes onto the table.

"Oh, AMAZEBALLS!" Alfie exclaimed, taking a seat.

Just then, Eddie walked in alongside Fabian and not long after, was followed by KT, Nina and Amber, who were whispering in a little huddle so that only they could here. They all took a seat as Mara and Willow strode in side by side.

Out of the blue, Jerome handed Patricia a £100 note.

"What's this?" She asked, examining it.

"It's for your little performance last night," Jerome explained, "We all-" he pointed towards himself, Mick, Eddie, Alfie and Fabian "-chipped in."

"What performance?" She interrogated, nervously.

"I think you know what performance I mean," Jerome grinned.

"You," she said in a harsh tone, her eyes squinted as she put her hands on the table to help herself up. "You," she repeated, heading towards Jerome.

He just closed his eyes and braced himself for what he knew (as well as everyone else did) was to come. Patricia grabbed the jug of milk that was on the table.

"Oh, Patricia, no," Joy sighed as Patricia poured the jug over Jerome's head painstakingly slow.

Willow bit her bottom lip and squealed, and Mick scoffed and choked on his cereal, while everyone else stared at Jerome who was now drenched in milk.

"What's so funny?" She asked Mick.

"Mick's the one who pointed you out in the first place," Jerome dobbed in, "Without him, we wouldn't have noticed you were there."

Mick watched Amber mouth 'Jerome' angrily towards Jerome as Patricia circled the table and came up behind Mick.

"You don't have any more liquids," Mick teased, tipping his head backwards do that he could see her.

"Oh yeah?" Patricia bet as she picked Mick's cereal up and plopped it on his head.

"All these years, I've had a clean sweep. Thanks Jerome," Mick said sarcastically.

"You gotta admit, two people in one day. She's going pretty well," Alfie admitted.

"Alfie!" Nina scolded.

"Sorry," he whimpered.

"And why were you squealing before?" Patricia asked Willow.

"Get this," Jerome smiled, "Willow knew that we were there, but she didn't tell you."

"That's not the whole story, Jerome," Eddie defended, "We kind of told her not to tell you."

"Thankfully, she doesn't have anymore liquid," Amber muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Thankfully for you," Patricia retaliated, sitting down.

"Joy knew too," Willow said, not knowing that she was getting Joy into trouble too.

"WHAT!?" Patricia yelled in outrage.

Joy guilty stood up and tapped Mara on the shoulder and they left the room. Willow followed, assuming she'd been the cause of this raucous. Eddie then left to his room, obviously wanting to avoid the angry eye of Patricia. Amber then dragged Mick along, out of the room, giving Patricia a bitter look.

Amber and Mick went upstairs into Amber's room, and an awkward silence hung in the air for a long time, until Mick finally decided to speak.

"So," he began awkwardly, "Wanna fill me in on what's been happening since I left?"

"Alright. So," Amber then dived into a full flight rant, talking extremely fast. "After you left, that year, not much actually happened besides Eddie coming and...er...Mara and Jerome, Patricia and Eddie, Fabian and Nina and Alfie and I all started dating. Anyway, the next year Nina didn't return which caused an almighty commotion, as you can imagine. Then the new girl arrived, which was KT and she became best friends with Eddie and Patricia got jealous. Oh, and Patricia and Eddie broke up during the summer and they have always had a love/hate relationship. Anyway, after that, I left for fashion school, and I'm not sure what happened after that. I do know that Jerome cheated on Mara with Willow and then Joy found out so she told Mara and Willow and they got revenge on him. I was told that as part of their final revenge, Joy was meant to make Jerome fall in love with her and then crush his heart into millions of tiny pieces but she fell in love with him. Patricia and Eddie got together again, and so did Mara and Fabian. But just the other day, Mara broke up with Fabian and about a month ago, Patricia broke up with Eddie and Eddie doesn't know why."

"Wow," Mick said, "How do you remember all this? It's been ages."

"And that's just a brief summary," Amber sighed.

"You know Ambs, I really missed you when I left. I know we developed a brotherly and sisterly relationship but-" Mick was cut off by Amber's lips hitting his.

Amber had flung herself into his face, and he had no problem with it whatsoever.

~~~~~

"Guys, guys," Nina said, calling all of Sibuna besides Amber into a huddle to tell them what happened last night.

"I'm leaving," Patricia grunted.

"Patricia, you have to stay. Eddie's not here you have no excuse," Alfie reasoned.

Patricia eyed Nina and KT but then finally gave in.

"Fine," she said, sitting down again.

"Just so you all know, I've been filling Trixie in, so she knows what's happening," Alfie explained.

"What have you told her?" Fabian enquired.

"That Eddie, Joy and Nina shared a dream, that we found Vera with that necklace and put her in the crypt and that someone has definitely spying on us," he summed up.

"Alright. There's still a few more remaining factors," Nina said.

"What did I forget?" Alfie asked.

"Nothing," Nina muttered, "There are just some things that I haven't told you."

"Should I tell them?" KT asked.

"Well, that's not the only thing," Nina admitted.

"Will you two stop talking in code?!" Jerome asked impatiently.

"Sorry," Nina apologised, "Go ahead KT."

"Okay guys," KT smiled, "Guess who we saw last night."

"Who?" Alfie asked, wide eyed.

"Victor," she told them.

"Boring," Alfie sighed.

"Boring? Alfie, don't you understand what this means, Alfie?" Jerome asked.

"No," Alfie said cluelessly.

"He could know something about this mystery," Fabian piped up.

"Exactly," KT approved, "And we're all going to see him next week to see what he knows."

"All?" Alfie groaned.

"All," KT echoed.

"Alright guys, meeting over. Remember, we are ALL going to Victor's house, okay?" Nina concluded as everyone filed out of the room to do their own things.

"Yep, cool, see ya then, okay," everyone said at different times, agreeing that the meeting was closed and they had nothing else to talk about.

A few minutes later at 8:00am exactly, Alfie arrived outside Anubis House to meet Willow for their special date, which they had rearranged, because they had nothing better to do. Seconds later, Willow came bouncing outside the Anubis doors greeting Alfie.

"Hello Alfie! I'm so excited for today, are you? SQUEE!" she said all in one breath.

"Definitely, and you know what we're going to do at the mall today?" Alfie grinned mysteriously.

"What? Ooooooohh tell me, tell me!" Willow begged.

"PAINTBALLING!!!" he shouted happily.

"Loser doesn't get any donuts when we go to the mall after," Willow yelled jumping around in circles. "Deal?"

"Deal! Do you want to get going then?" he asked grinning goofily.

"Why not," Willow smiled, walking off in the distance with Alfie by her side.

Alfie and Willow were all geared up and ready to paintball. A few minutes later they were let into the arena which was a dark blue which made it hard to see other people. It also had lots of broken down transport to hide behind before shooting an opponent.

"Follow me," Alfie whispered to Willow as they both snuck off quietly making sure they weren't noticed by the other players.

They found a hiding spot behind a car in a corner and peeped out from behind it. They saw a target right in front of them who didn't know they were there.

"Bingo," Alfie smiled and gestured to Willow to shoot on the count of three.

She nodded and watched him mouth, "One, two, three, GO!"

They both jumped up and starting shooting randomly everywhere vigorously. When they had finished rapidly shooting, they looked at their rival (who was now covered in orange paint), winked at each other and ducked back down.

"Oh my gosh, that was amazeballz!" Alfie grinned.

"I know, who's going to be our next opponent?" Willow asked, eager to shoot again.

Alfie ducked his head out of the corner, "Okay, see that guy over there with the cool tatts and the pink hair? That's who we're going to shoot next."

Willow peeped out and turned back to Alfie, her eyes wide. They snuck out of their hiding corner and slowly crawled up behind him.

"Ready, set..." he mouthed.

"GO!!!" Willow screamed.

Again, they both continuously shot the guy in front of them, fast and hard.

"Oh yeah," Alfie grinned and high-five Willow.

As she high-fived back, the guy with the cool tatts and pink hair said, "Wow, you guys are seriously sick at this."

"Really? You think?" Alfie asked excitedly.

"I don't think so, I know so. Oh by the way, the name's Z-Dart, but you can just call me Z," he responded confidently.

"Awesomesauce!" he grinned. "Alright, session's nearly over, one last battle Willow to confirm our deal for afterwards?"

"You betcha!" she shouted and ran off to a clear area, Alfie at her heels.

"I am totally gonna smash you! Ready? One, two, th-" he started.

"SHOOT!!" she yelled.

They both triggered their guns and SPLAT! They both were suddenly covered in paint. Alfie was backing away slowly, but he wasn't quick enough, Willow was already onto him, firing her gun at him vigorously. BEEP!

"That, was awesome!" Willow screamed loudly, "I can't believe I actually beat you!"

"Oh my gosh, that wasn't just cool, that was AWESOME! Too bad I couldn't predict the future," Alfie laughed.

"DONUT TIME! Race you to the mall!" she shouted, running as fast as she could.

Alfie and Willow arrived at the mall in the best doughnut shop ever. Puffing and panting from the long run they had just completed, Alfie chose a seat while Willow bought her favourite flavoured doughnuts.

"Mmmmm, these are so good," she grinned stuffing herself with doughnuts at the mall.

"I want some!" Alfie whined, longing for the delicious sugary taste.

Willow hesitated, but she couldn't help but give in. She was just too nice to resist.

"The only thing I can resist is temptation," she giggled as she ripped her donut in half and fed Alfie the bigger half.

"Thank you," he smiled.

He knew he was so blessed to have a girlfriend like Willow, and deciding to show her that he gave her a big kiss.

~~~~~

"Hey Eddie," Nina said as she walked into Eddie's room and sat down on the bed.

It was early morning and most people were in the kitchen having their breakfast. Eddie was briefly informed last night by Nina that she had some important news for Sibuna. He assumed it had spread like wildfire by now and that all of Sibuna would know, except for him.

"Oh, hey," Eddie acknowledged, shutting his laptop and sitting up from his slump.

"Whatchya doin?" She asked.

"Well, seeing as Patricia won't talk to me, I'm writing her a letter. Amber didn't approve, so...just don't tell her about this, okay?" Eddie admitted.

"And you really think that will work?" Nina asked, raising her eyebrows.

"You don't?" Eddie questioned in reply.

"Eddie, have you met Patricia?" Nina smirked, shaking her head.

"I know, I know, you sound like P-" Eddie stopped suddenly.

"I sound like who?" Nina asked.

"Piper," Eddie answered.

"And?" Nina shrugged.

"Do you think she'd help me handle Patricia?" Eddie asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I have a plan as to what we can do," Nina informed him.

"Really? What is it?" Eddie asked with excitement.

"Now, I'm not mad about it, but I think it will work," Nina told him.

"That didn't answer my question," Eddie pointed out.

"I'll tell you when I need to, but I have some important news that you need to know," Nina dismissed.

"Fine," Eddie sighed, "What is it?"

"You'll never guess who Amber, KT and I ran into at the coffee shop," Nina said.

"Well, if I'll never guess, can you just tell me?" Eddie asked sarcastically.

Nina rolled her eyes and told him, "It was Victor."

"How is this 'big news'?" Eddie asked, using air quotations, unimpressed of the use of the phrase.

"I told him about our dream, and he doesn't know why you had it, but I think he knows why Joy had it," Nina told him.

"Did you tell him about Vera?" Eddie enquired.

"No," Nina admitted, "He said he couldn't tell us anything there, so we're all going to his house next week."

"Cool. Anything else?" Eddie asked.

"Er..." Nina thought, "I'm getting Mara to do research on the necklace."

"Nina, you're the one who hates bringing new people into Sibuna?" Eddie complained in question.

"It's to get revenge on Fabian," Nina admitted quietly.

"Why? You still like him," Eddie pointed out and Nina opened her mouth to argue, but Eddie raised his hand to silence her and added, "Do not deny it Nina. We both know it's true. Why are you going to all this trouble to humiliate him when you still like him?"

Nina sighed heavily and admitted, "My head was taking control of my heart."

Eddie smirked at her, knowing he was right and she whacked him playfully with the pillow that was lying on his lap.

"Heyyyyy," Eddie screamed and hit her back.

"What was that for?" Nina squealed at him.

"What was mine for?" Eddie retaliated.

"That smirk!" Nina laughed. "See! That one! The one you're making right now!"

"Okay, whatever. But seriously...you need to stop doing this to Fabian. He's done nothing wrong," Eddie reasoned seriously.

"Okay, now you're crossing a line," Nina said, "He has done something wrong. Quite a few things actually. But you're right. I do still like him."

"Well, what are you going to do?" Eddie asked.

"No Eddie. What are you going to do about Patricia?" Nina swiftly changed the subject.

"As much as I'd love to inform you of my master plan; that is classified information. Confidential," Eddie said sarcastically, "However yours isn't, and you are going to tell me. Right here and right now. When are you going to stop torturing the poor dude?"

"My plan for yours?" Nina bargained.

"Deal," Eddie agreed, shaking hands with Nina.

"I'm doing this because of what he did to Mara and me. He was dating Mara, I show up crying and he kisses me. I like him, but he did the wrong thing, so I just can't be with him and know I'm doing the right thing." Nina explained.

"You sound like Mara," Eddie pointed out.

"How?"

Eddie thought about how when he and Mara had ghost hunted, to kill time, she had told him about her relationship with Mick. She had told him about this one time when Mick had cheated for her in some election and it all ended well, but she had broken up with him, even though she liked him, because he had done the wrong thing.

Deciding not to tell Nina about Mara's relationships, he left her question unanswered and asked his own.

"So what? Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't date him but what's the point of doing all this to him?" Eddie asked.

"When did you become so wise?" Nina asked, "Look, I'll think about it, but what do I say to Mara? You aren't helping Sibuna anymore, we're not humiliating him anymore and I'm actually going to date Fabian instead so back off?" She added sarcastically.

"Nina, you're smart. You'll work something out," Eddie reassured.

"But now that you've heard my top secret plan, what's yours?"

"Besides the letter...I don't have one," Eddie confessed.

"Well, you're lucky I do," Nina said, standing up from the bed and Eddie following her lead. "Eddie, you know your like a brother to me, right?"

"And you're a sister to me," Eddie agreed.

"And I'd do anything to protect that. But I want Fabian back, and you want Patricia back," Nina talked faster, as they heard footsteps leaving the dining room, "You have to kiss me."

"What?" Eddie asked in utter disbelief.

"Now," Nina hurried.

"No, I-" Eddie began.

"Eddie. KISS ME," Nina whispered through gritted teeth.

Just as footsteps approached the door, Nina grabbed Eddie's head, and threw it against her own, and kissed him, right as Patricia, Fabian and KT entered the room and their jaws dropped.

Hehe...

Go ahead, hate me.

I warned you SpunkyMalone111

Infuriated, right?

Or sad..?

Or...

I won't put any ideas in your head...

So before I'm suspiciously killed, I should probably ask the questions...

How do you feel about Mamber's relationship?

What will happen when Nina talks to Mara?

What will Fabian and Patricia say?

They were at the door after all...

Will Nina's 'plan' work?

And as a bonus, who do you think the couples will end up being?
