Leia's POV

Only a week has passed by since I misunderstood literally every situation I was in on my first day, but it's felt like an eternity. Ever since then, I've had to deal with awkward looks from Theo, longing looks from Luke, and glares from Maggie. I've also had to deal with watching Maggie and Theo be "super best friends" and Theo mercilessly flirting with her. I did not think my first week at Lost and Found would be this dramatic.

I'm walking into Java Junction when I spot Maggie and Luke laughing about some joke that he told. I roll my eyes. I just don't think it's very fair that Maggie gets to have Theo and Luke.

Suddenly an idea pops up in my brain. It might seem a little evil, but it's justified. Maggie should really only get one boy, and although I'd prefer that that boy be Luke and I get Theo, it's clear that Theo isn't going to be getting over his feelings anytime soon.

So why not separate Maggie from Luke. I mean, I like Luke as a friend, but it's very clear that he likes me as more than a friend.

I'll just have to use that to my advantage.

Maggie's POV

After laughing at Luke's joke, I glance at the door to see who's coming in and of course it has to be Leia.

I cannot stand that girl. She comes to Lost and Found for a week and she already has Luke wrapped around her little finger when he's supposed to be my boyfriend! I have a very suspicious feeling that she's trying to separate us or something.

Or maybe she's not.

Maybe I'm being paranoid. She does like Theo so I shouldn't be threatened. I would actually prefer not to make any enemies this year, so I guess I'll give her a chance. I guess I can't really blame her for my boyfriend having a crush on her.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear Luke yell, "Hey Leia! Come join us for lunch."

See I don't want to make her an enemy, but my boyfriend still does have a crush on her. How am I supposed to tolerate her? I don't want to break up with Luke, but if I know he likes another girl, won't that just end up with me in trouble?

"Um ok. But I don't want to interrupt anything you two are doing. Maggie, do you mind?" Leia asks. Well I can't say no now that she asked so politely.

"Um yeah. No problem," I say with hesitation.

I'm seriously regretting saying that five minutes later as I listen to Leia giggle and talk to Luke about some story I really could care less about. Luke stares at her with 100% of his attention and I can't help but be jealous. I'll have to talk to him about this later.

I can't take seeing him lovingly stare at her any longer.

I have to stop this.

"So that's the traumatic experience I had with a horse," Leia finishes.

Luke laughs along with her and says, "That was a really interesting story. What was the most traumatic part?"

"Well I'd have to say it was the part where-"

"Luke! Weren't we going to go work on our duet?" I ask as I grab his arm and drag him out of the room.

"Yeah I guess. Bye Leia!" he yells while I pull him out. When we're out in the hallway, he finally turns so that he's facing my direction and gives me an angry face.

"What?" I ask innocently.

"You didn't have to interrupt her like that. I was actually really interested in that story," Luke replies.

"I don't think it was the story that you were so interested in," I mumble to myself.

Am I really going to have to break up with him?

As we walk into the rose room, I notice that down the hallway Rachel is crying into Annabelle's arms. Why is she crying? I thought she had this whole tough girl act going for her. Well, Annabelle, if you were able to break through to her, I'm proud of you. That act was starting to get a little annoying.

Annabelle's POV

My first week here has been pretty uneventful. For the first time in my life, I kind of wish some drama would happen in my life.

I walk into the bullpen and the second I do, I bump into someone hard.

"I am so so sorry! I didn't see you coming," I apologize.

"Yeah? Well you should watch where you're going next time," a familiar voice replies. Oh goodness.

It's Rachel.

"Y-yeah. I will," I stutter, utterly terrified.

"Yeah right. Like you'll see anything anytime soon with those huge glasses on your face," Rachel mutters as she walks away. A sudden surge of energy pulses through me as I grab her arm. A feel a new confidence come onto me as I start to think of the next words to say to stand up to her.

Nobody insults my glasses. I think I look better with them on.

"Why do you have to be such a jerk?" I ask.

She scoffs and looks me up and down, "Why do you have to be so annoying and ugly?"

I pull her back to where I am and point at her chest, "You and I both know that's not true so just shut up."

"I don't have to do what you say," she replies.

I sigh and back away, "Rachel, I think you and I both know how much everyone here hates you. So why don't we get past the fighting and on to talking about your deep-seated issues from your childhood which have shaped you into what you are today?"

She looks down for a long time and doesn't say anything so I continue to talk to break the awkward silence.

"Did I hit a soft spot? What is it, daddy issues?" I ask in a mocking matter.

Then I finally hear it. Crying.

My adrenaline rush goes away and I realize what I've just done. I made the toughest girl at Lost and Found cry before my very own eyes. I immediately feel guilty and hug her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so mean. I'll stop now. But if you want to talk about, I'm here," I say while rubbing her back.

It takes her a few seconds to stop crying before she wipes her eyes and gently moves me away from her.

"So when I was little, my parents always called me a disappointment. No matter what activity or what I did to succeed, they were always so disappointed in me. I tried everything and it didn't change anything. So I stopped trying. I think I was in 1st grade when I got my first F. I mean it's 1st grade, does it really matter that much? But that was the last straw for them. While I was asleep, they left and took everything with them. Blankets, pillows, shower curtains, and even my sister. I think she was four when it happened. Only thing they left was a guitar. I woke up the next day and called the police, who just threw me into foster care with nothing but the clothes on my back and that guitar. Ever since then I've never trusted anything but music. I mean, if my own family abandoned me, why wouldn't everyone else?"

I pause for a second and look at her, trying to decide if she's being serious or playing a joke on me.

She's being serious.

"Wow," I start off, "that's a lot to process. But what I do understand is that your parents suck. But just because they suck doesn't mean everyone else does, ok? Not everyone is like them. I'm not like them. Lost and Found is not like them," I say.

"But how do I know that for sure?" Rachel asks.

"Well, become friends with me and find out," I suggest. She smiles back at me and hugs me, laughing.

She backs away for a second, thinking, and then asks, "But how do I apologize to everyone for being such a jerk?"

"Easy. Sing them a song."

Jude's POV

After experiencing everything that just happened between Rachel and Annabelle, I realize that I have to find my partner in crime, Eva. I have to tell her everything that's been going on and ask for her advice on what we should do about it.

I look in every room trying to find her when I finally bump into here just outside the bullpen. She walks into my stomach and then almost falls back, but not before I catch her hand.

"Nice catch," she says.

"No problem. Sorry for bumping into you, Eva," I reply.

She looks at me confused for a second and then asks, "How do you know my name? I haven't talked to you since I joined Lost and Found."

I look at her more confused and then reply, "Stop joking around Eva. It's me, Jude."

"Are you stalking me or something?" she accuses. I start to laugh for a moment but then I immediately stop when I realize she isn't joking.

She looks at me dead serious and that's when I know for sure. We are in an alternate universe.

Now how do I explain that without sounding like a crazy person.

"Ok I'll tell you how I know your name but you have to promise me something," I say.

"Ok. And what would that be?" she asks. She talks so confidently now she kind of scares me.

"You have to listen until I'm all the way through with the story."

"The story?" she asks.

"Yep," I say. I pause, waiting for her to make the promise.

She nods her head, urging me to go on.

"So do you promise?"

"Yeah, whatever. Just tell me the story."

I then proceed to tell her the story that Theo told us on Christmas Eve. Then, before she can ask what that has to do with anything, I tell her that we've experienced the time warp that he described and that we all actually have come from an alternate universe and that I need her to help restore everything to the right place.

After I'm done with the whole story, I stop and wait for her reaction.

"Wow. That's quite a story," she says after a while.

"So you believe me?" I ask nervously.

"Well I never said that. In fact, I think I might think less of you than I did when I thought you were a stalker," she says harshly.

I give her a disappointed look and start to walk away, but I feel her hand grab my shoulder.

"Wait. Are you being dead serious. We actually went through a "time warp" on Christmas Eve?" she asks incredulously. I nod my head.

"And we knew each other in this "other dimension"?" I nod my head once again.

She thinks for a bit before deciding, "Ok. I'll help you."

A smile quickly grows on my face and I go to hug her before remembering that she doesn't actually remember me. But all I want to do is be close to her again.

I never actually admitted it to myself since I first realized that I wanted Eva to kiss me, but I know deep down I've always liked her.

"But answer one thing for me," she says, interrupting me from my thoughts.

"Sure thing."

"Did you and I have a thing in this other dimension? I'm kind of sensing some feelings of desperation from you," she asks. The question completely shocks me.

"Um n-no. We didn't have anything. Besides the fact that we were best friends. You were my partner in crime," I respond.

"Ok then," she says awkwardly.

After a few more moments of silence, I have to ask her the question that's been on my mind this whole conversation, "Why are you wearing makeup?"

She looks at me insulted, "I don't know. Why are you not wearing makeup?"

"No, I mean, in the other universe, your mother would never ever allow you to wear makeup and she was super strict. I know this is a different place but I just kind of wanted to know."

"Wow, this other world truly is different from this one. My mom is super freelance, and even if she wasn't, I'd go against her rules. I'm my own person and I don't care what she says."

It's going to take me some time to get used to this new Eva.

Eva's POV

"Anyways, what's the first plan you need to put into action?"

I almost can't believe the words coming out of my mouth for a second. Usually I would never believe the absolute crap that this guy Jude just told me, but he's pretty cute so I'll play along for now.

I also refuse to believe that there was nothing between us in the other universe. There's way too much tension on his end for that to be true.

"Well for one, the most disturbing thing about this place is that Luke is with Maggie instead of Leia," he answers.

"Who is with who instead of who?" I ask. I still haven't really learned names since I don't really care.

He takes my hand and leads me to the rose room where I see a girl and a guy writing a song and singing together.

"Would that be Luke and Maggie?" I ask.

"That would be them. And they do not belong together. Trust me."

I look at them singing together and I don't really see anything they wrong. They look like they're having a great time and I don't really feel like interrupting that.

"What's wrong with them? They seem cute," I ask.

"Just focus on them for some time. Especially on their eyes."

I continue to watch them. Then I see what he's talking about.

Yeah it seems like they're a cute couple, but it looks more one-sided. While Maggie strums her guitar and hums while staring lovingly at Luke, he just seems to be more focused writing down the notes of the song. He keeps interrupting her and barely even notices that she's trying to have a moment.

"Why isn't he looking at her likes she looks at him?" I ask.

He sighs and then says, "Back in the alternate dimension, she liked him, but he ended up falling for Leia. After observing for some time, I've realized that he's still fallen for Leia here and everyone knows it, but this time he's in a relationship. Him and Maggie don't seem to want to break that up yet, and Leia likes someone else, too."

"Well if Luke and Leia are meant to end up together, then who's Maggie supposed to be with?"

"Theo. He liked her back there and here, but Leia likes him here. So that's why we have to fix this whole mess."

I take my eyes off of Maggie and Luke and look up at Jude. He looks really worried for his friends, and I realize at that moment that he's really being serious. I finally believe him. Everything he's said is true, and he really does care about restoring back the order.

"So what do you want me to do?" I say, determined to bring the four of them a happier ending. Well not ending so I guess middle.

"Well, I don't exactly have an actual plan. Just improvise. Go in there, pull her out, talk to her about stuff. Ask questions about her relationship and we'll see if we can make a plan from there."

I try to formulate a plan in my head as I walk in.

Luke's POV

Maggie and I have been in the rose room for the past hour trying to come up with a song, but I don't really agree with anything she's suggesting.

While Maggie's been humming softly and just waiting for me to look up at her, I've been thinking about other things.

Other things named Leia.

I can't believe I'm thinking about another girl while I'm here, making songs with my girlfriend, but I can't help it. I think I'm seriously falling for Leia, but I don't feel ready to break up with Maggie.

"Hey guys! My name's Eva," one of the new girls walks into the room and holds out her hand to shake ours, "and I'm new. I hope I'm not interrupting anything by asking this but I wanted to pull Maggie out into the hallway just to ask her a few questions. I need to learn how this place works and I thought you'd be a good person to ask."

"Yeah sure, go ahead. You're not interrupting at all," I say while nudging Maggie to go out in the hallway.

"Ok, thanks. Don't worry, I won't be talking to her about anything too serious," she says while she winks at me.

What did that wink mean?

They walk into the hallway shortly after and I can't help but follow behind them. I won't be able to get that wink out of my head until I hear what they're talking about.

"So Maggie, how long have you been at Lost and Found?"

"Two years now, I think."

"And how long have you been with Luke?"

"Four months."

"Aww. You two are so cute."

Maggie looks down nervously and says an awkward, "Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't think we'll be a couple any longer," Maggie replies. Did I just hear her right?

"Why do you think that?" Eva asks.

"Just a hunch I have."

I can't take this any longer. I walk out into the hallway and ask, "A hunch?"

Maggie jumps from the noise behind her and Eva quickly scurries off, "Luke, I didn't know you were listening in."

"You really want to break up with me?" I ask, disregarding her last comment.

"Well I don't. But I think you do. And I think it would be best," she says sadly.

"Why do you think it would be best?" I ask confused.

"Oh come on, Luke. Don't pretend. We both know I'm not the one you really want to be with the most nowadays," she says. So I guess she could tell that my feelings for Leia are growing.

"And you're sure you want to break up? I'm willing to continue to date and see how our feelings change overtime," I respond.

"But that's the problem. You shouldn't be willing to continue, you should want to continue. It should be a choice you make on your own. I'm also not willing to date someone who has another girl on his mind. So yeah, I guess I do want to break up," Maggie says with tears in her eyes.

I can't bear to look at her being sad any longer so I turn my back to her, start to walk away, and say, "Bye then."

Theo's POV

I'm sitting in Busker Alley, strumming my guitar and being more bored than ever. I wish something could happen so I could at least be entertained.

Suddenly, I hear crying. Maggie's crying. She runs towards me and hugs me hard.

This is not the type of entertainment I was asking for.

"Luke and I just broke up," Maggie chokes out in between sobs.

They broke up? What?

"I'm so sorry, Maggie. Did Luke break up with you? Did he hurt you? Because I will murder him if he did," I say completely seriously.

She giggles a little and then sniffles, "No. It was mutual. Really. I'm just a bit sad because I liked him a lot."

I feel a bit sad from that statement but I ignore that feeling. Maggie needs me more than my emotions do.

"You'll get over it. He was stupid to let you go," I say as I hug her again, feeling her relax into my arms.

Maggie's POV

I can't believe Luke and I just broke up after only four months. I thought we would last a longer than four months.

I can't believe that I was the one that initiated it. I didn't think my thought from earlier would actually come true. That I'd actually break up with today.

But more than anything, I can't believe that after having broken up with who I thought was the love of my life, I feel so happy. Not because I just broke up with Luke.

But because of how comfortable Theo's arms feel around me.

Leia's POV

After eating a lot of food and thinking for a really long time, I've finally been able to formulate a whole plan in my head. The whole think would take two weeks to execute, which I know is a long time, but it would be worth it if I could break them up and have no hard feelings in between any of us.

I'm interrupted from my thoughts when I see Luke running towards me. I get startled for a bit but I wait for him to catch his breath.

"Maggie and I just broke up," he says in between breaths.

"What? Really?" so I didn't even need to make a plan in the first place? Sweet. It all happened without my help.

"Yeah," he says, finally catching his breath.

I walk him over to a table and sit him down. "Why did you two break up?" I ask, curious.

"Well. It was pretty mutual. Maggie and I both saw something develop and we decided it would be best if we weren't in a relationship while we waited to see what would happen," he stalls.

"Oh just tell me what happened," I say impatiently.

He stares deep into my soul and I see a whole different part of Luke that I haven't seen before, "We both realized that the feelings I had for you weren't going away anytime soon."

Not knowing what to say, I continue to stare into his hazel eyes. I can't help but notice how beautiful they are now that I'm seeing them up really up close.

Wait. When did our faces get that close?

I realize what he's doing. He's leaning in. We're about to kiss. And I'm not opposed to it.

Maybe I was chasing after the wrong guy.

Luke's POV

Our lips finally touch and my heart explodes from inside. Every single butterfly in my stomach throws up and gets its own stomach flu.

Her lips tastes like strawberries. I hate the taste of strawberries.

But oh how nice they taste right now.

I'm in love.
