Fanfiction with friends part 2

WARNING DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU SHIP FOSTER-KEEFE 🤣

While they think about it Sophie realizes another thing. No matter what, Keefe is always the first person to talk to.

“ Magnate Leto said he would tell me when I’m 17. So that means either way we are siblings. But they don’t know I did that so we can pretend that nothing ever happened.” Sophie told him 

They talked for a few more minutes and then he decided that it was way too late and needed to go. 

Chapter 6

Fitz-Keefe

At Foxfire everyone was talking about some dumb light show.  When he joined his group Linh was dying of laughter on the ground because of something Biana said.

“Wow, that was funny.” Linh said when she stopped her giggles. 

“Totally!” Sophie agreed. Fitz gazed at her, she really was beautiful, he had brought her to the Lost Cities, just to lose her to Keefe, Keefe was his best friend, he had loved Sophie. He just didn’t understand what she saw in him, it was her decision, but he wished it had worked out differently.  

He decided to read her mind  maybe if he could figure out what the heck she was thinking he looked at her hands clasped with Keefe’s and nodded, he had to do this.  But what surprised him was the first picture in her mind was not that of Keefe it was of Juline and Lord Cassius.

He smiled a little, this changed everything. 

Sophie’s hand tightened on Keefe’s and she turned around with tears in her eyes and transmitted

“Get out Fitz”  

With that she got up an ran away. Keefe shot Fitz a questioning look and Fitz shrugged looking innocent. 

Keeefe got up and chased her and found her in the white hallway were they first met, her curled up on the bench crying. He reached over and took her shoulder gently making her sit up he sat down next to her and she put her head  on his shoulder and whispered 

“He knows.” 

With those two word’s Keefe’s  whole face darkened. That was unacceptable, his girlfriend, or his sister he didn’t care.

He bent his head down a gently kissed Sophie on the cheek, after a few minutes she somehow fell asleep. He leaped her home and when she woke up in her bed she found Keefe sitting on her window seat looking out her window she found Sandor glowering at him but was surprised.

“Grady let you in here?” She asked 

“Yeah I slept down stairs and woke up this morning. I told Grady what Fitz did and Fitz is now That   Boy.”

Sophie laughed.

Keefe sat down next to her and kissed her gently on the top of her head.“I’ll let you get changed.” Keefe said as he let the room and he shut the door.

As soon as she finished, she heard a knock on the door. She called “Come in!” And sat on the bed. Fitz walked in.

“I apologized to Keefe, and so he let me sneak up here. He’s distracting your bodyguards and Grady for me. And, I’m really, really, REALLY sorry. I shouldn’t have done that, it was uncalled for, against the Telepathy rules, and you should probably tell my dad and the Council.”

Sophie rolled her eyes 

“Oh really?” she let out a sarcastic laugh Fitz looked hurt

“I brought you these.” He said and from behind his back he pulled out a small plate with chocolate mint ripple fluffs.

“Peace offering; friends?” “Friends.” said Sophie and gave him a hug.

He hugged her back and they stood there like that for a minute before they broke apart.

And with that he leaped home

Sophie walked out of her room looking slightly dazed  and went downstairs.

“Keefe is outside.” Grady grunted but under that grunt he looked… slightly pleased.

Keefe was sitting under the Panakes tree. (You know where I’m going with this!) 

His hands shaking Sophie sat down next to him and squeezed his shoulder.

“What's wrong?”“He handed her a small slip of paper and on the paper was written.

Hail your mother.

 Keefe looked up with tears in his ice blue eyes.

And whispered 

“Why?” 

Sophie shrugged and gave him a quick hug before he could pull his imparter out of his cape, he pulled out a small dagger and cut the tip of his finger and smeared it on his imparter he turned his head away but Sophie saw one tear slip down his nose. Before the cold voice of Lady Gisela came out of his imparter.

“Well happy birthday Keefe.”
Sophie squeezed his hand as guilt swelled up how could she have forgotten?

“I regret ever picking you up off the stinking street. Why are you blubbering?”“What?”

“Your father didn’t tell you? We agreed to tell you on your 15h birthday; you're adopted.”

Keefe laughed and looked at Sophie.

“Is that all?” he asked.

“Not all” Lady Gisela snapped

“Well?” 

“You have a sister”

“Who?” 

“Marella.” 

She said. And then she hung up. 

Keefe jumped up and actually screamed. That scared the heck out of Sophie.

“Hey its not that bad.” Sophie told Keefe

“I  don't want to be Marella's brother!” 

Keefe was unprepared for Sophie's kiss. But hey, it's a kiss.    

“I’m sorry I forgot your birthday.” Sophie apologized after it

Keefe smiled, “That's OK Foster. It's just nice to have you.”

At Everglen Fitz was telling his dad about what he did. It was the first time in his life he ever broke the rules of telepathy. He was actually kinda scared, and really angry at himself he did that. 

Alden sighed, “Teenage  romance.” 

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

Sophie and I are cognates. Why couldn't I just have asked her about it? She would have told me. Right? Fitz thought. 

Alden appeared to be thinking hard. Then he said, “Here’s the thing, one way or the other you broke the rules of Telepathy, so, we can either tell the Council, or let this. . .incident slide, it’s up to Sophie.”

So Fitz slid out his imparter, and walked into the hall to talk to Sophie.

“Already hailing me? You were just at my house.”

“I know. But I need to talk to you about something.” Fitz said 

“You know Grady is starting to call you That Boy know” Sophie laughed 

“I know” fitz sad again

 “But, here’s the thing,” Fitz says, “you have a decision to make. You have the choice to turn me into the Council, or. . .keep it a secret.”

“Look. I actually broke the rules myself. I snuck into Mr. Forkles mind and saw it. We might get banished… Again. Well you might not but i will. So let’s just keep it a secret” Sophie 

“I don’t think so. Forkle can’t tell the Council without giving away that he knows your parents.”

“And that he’s part of the Black Swan. So it works out every way” 

“Thanks Sophie, I’ll let you go now.” 

“Did you know that it’s Keefe’s Birthday?” Sophie asked before he ended the call.

“Yeah, Mom’s planning a surprise party.”

“Really? That’s super sweet”

“Yeah, but you’ll have to get him to come over. Mom decided to hail every one today.”

“I’ll get him over. When is it?”

“This evening, all our friends are coming over, with their parents. The Collective is invited too.”  

“Our parents? That means we can't act like ourselves!” Sophie jokes

“Mom doesn’t want us busting the Neverseen on Keefe’s birthday.

“Is that why she's having a party?”

“Probably not,” he said, “but you never know with Mom.”   

“Ok I’ll get him over. Don’t worry about it.”

And with that they hung up. 

Keefe went to Sophie's house at around 4:45. And she said that the Collective was meeting at Everglen because  they were going to search the property with all of us.

Keefe knew it was a half lie. He could FEEL it. And he meant that literally.

When they got to Everglen his feelings were confirmed.  There were balloons attached to lamp posts in the yard and everything was so decorative,

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Everyone shouted at Keefe.

But he was left speechless.

“Wow,” was all he could say.

Linh, Tam, Dex, Biana, Fitz, Marella, Wylie, and all their parents were there. 

Wylie brought his girlfriend, Savia.

After the presents had been opened. Prank supplies from Fitz, hair balding elixirs from Dex, and a mini toy gullon from the twins. Whylie bought him a gift card to atlantis prank shop. And from Sophie a note that said meet me outside.

He looked around and she was nowhere to be found. 

He looked around and Fitz nodded tilting his head so that Keefe could see out what door she went.

Keefe mouthed thank you and tiptoed out the door and found Sophie waiting for him in the hallway,  she took his hand not saying anything and pulled him gently into the next room.That had a picture of the entire Vacer family in it, he looked around and realized. That this was the reception hall. 

“The reception hall.”  Keefe said

“Yeah,” Said Sophie “From what I know about elves. . .um. . .matches come here and dance.”

“Yeah,” said Keefe he lead her to the middle of the room and took her hand a music sounded and it felt older than time itself 

He put his hand on her waist and took her other hand in his and they danced slowly in a circle no steps, no rules, just him, her and the music. 

“Happy birthday” she whispered when they were done with the dance.

“I have something for you” she whispered  and pulled out of the back of her cape a small box and handed it to him, inside were two small rings about the same size as the Cognate ones, just a little smaller, Sophie picked one that had her initials on them S.E.F. and slipped it on his pinkie finger he stroked her cheek gently and whispered a 

“Thank you.” 

Before he took the other ring out of the box and slipped it on her finger and then for the second time today they were kissing. She was on tiptoe her arms wrapped around his neck ad had one arm wrapped around her and another in her soft blonde hair and he felt like they could stand there for eternity but then...

They heard clapping near the entrance of the room. A big applause. That made it SOooooooooooooo awkward.  

 All the parents, the collective, and their friends were standing there clapping. Even Fitz, and to Keefe’s surprise, he was smiling.

“I got you two both a gift.” Says Fitz. He crosses the room and hands them a box. Sophie takes it, opens it, and inside. . .

“Oh, Fitz. . .” 

“Dude, how?”

“Dad promised them a tour if they got them done today.”

Sophie smiled. Alden had really promised a tour of Everglen for something as unimportant as crush cuffs?

They were  and had Sophie Foster + Keefe Sencen written on them.

 Sophie Foster + Keefe Sencen

“That’s totally awesome, dude.” Said Keefe.

Bianna looked at Tam shyly and he smiled.

“I guess this would be the best time to tell everyone,” Tam said “ Bianna and I, are dating.”

Lhin started bouncing up and down and Dex grabbed her hand bouncing as well. 

“Dex and I are to!” squealed Lhin 

Tam glared at Dex 

He pointed at him accusingly and hissed, “You and I are soooo talking later.”

RIP them or ship them?

That put  a worried look on Dex’s face. And that made Linh laugh.

“I have never had to deal with this!” Tam grumbled. “A boyfriend! You are way to young Linh!”

“You have a girlfriend, and you’re the same age as me.” Linh pointed out.

“Oh, Tam, you and I are also having a conversation.” Fitz informed him.

Prentice smiled vaguely, “This conversation is getting off track.”

“Tell me about it” Tam said, “What were we talking about again?”

Prentice snapped his fingers. Slow music filled the hall. Keefe and Sophie danced, as did Tam and Biana, Dex and Linh. Wylie offered his arm to a girl Fitz had never seen before. 

“My name is Sevina Frant.” She introduced herself. Then they headed to the center of the dance floor.

“Hey I’ve seen you at Foxfire before.” Keefe said           

“Yes I know. Do you remember the girl you dumped all that Gulon gas on?” She asked him.

Keefe thought for a moment, “Yeah! That was a great prank! Man, that’s something I will never forget!”

Sevina’s face darkens, “I was that girl”

Keefe shrank back, “I want to forget that day,” he whispers 

Fitz hung back, having no one to dance with. Marella joins him.

“Hey,” he says.

“Hey.” She says 

There’s an awkward silence between them.

“Wanna dance?” Fitz asks 

Smooth. Fitz and Marealla think at the same time.

But Marella smiles,”I’d love to.” 

Fitz smiles and leads her onto the dance floor. It was kinda awkward at first because he always imagined doing this with Sophie. And the last time he was in this room this close to someone was with Sophie. But he got used to it. 

Marella told him, “A few years ago I would be screaming at everyone who would listen ‘FITZ VACKER ASKED ME TO DANCE!’”

When Keefe and Sophie got a look at him they both smiled. And Keefe dipped Sophie and heard her back pop. They both laughed. 

They danced for a few hours, and Sophie asked Alden if she could change the music.

“There's no more music than this.” He said.

“No. Where’s the thingy that plays it?”Sophie asks

He points to a little panel on the wall. Sophie opens it and calls Dex over. 

With the help of enhancing and great ideas and a lot of wires. They got a cable that could hook up onto Sophie's Ipod.  she scrolled on her millions of playlists. 

“Hmm. how about this one?” then She turned to the group, “Wanna see what music is like with the humans?” 

Keefe was the first to say yes. And Sevina was the last to say yes.

She turned on shuffle and they all jumped as the Macarena started playing.

Sophie stepped into the middle of the room and showed them how to dance to it. 

They danced to the human songs until the party ended.

 CHAPTER 7

Biana

“Good morning, honey!” Della greeted her.

“Hey, mom” She yawned   

“Sup?” Asked Fitz. 

“Where did you learn that word?” Biana asked

“Sophie asked me what was up yesterday, and she asked me like that.” He grinned.

“Did Sophie…… never mind.” Biana fell silent. She was happy here brother was getting over the fact that he and Sophie would never be a thing.

 “Did Sophie what?” Alden asked. “And I ask that with a little more authority, as your father.”  

“Ummm………. Nothing. It doesn't matter! Forget I said anything!” Biana shoved a spoonful of whatever was for breakfast into her mouth to make herself shut up.

Alden raised an eyebrow, “Now you have to tell me. That’s an order.”  

“But DAD!” Biana whined 

“No buts. Tell me.” 

“Well I was going to say, ‘Did Sophie say anything else?’ but that would have been rude.”

“Thank you. Everything works so much nicer when we cooperate.” 

They all laugh.

“I had the weirdest dream that we got a pet!” Biana said

“Nice try. But no” Alden said 

“So, Fitz, I saw you and that young lady. . .oh, what’s her name?” Della snapped her fingers. “Oh, Marella.” She raised an eyebrow. “Anything you want to tell me, either of you?”

Fitz stares at his bowl,

“No mom.” 

“Biana?” Her dad asks. 

“I have no idea what’s going on with any of them” Biana says

“I meant with you.” He says.

“Oh, well, yeah, but….. Yeah” Biana stumbles

“Enlighten me. I’m afraid old men don’t understand well, yeah, but … yeah.”

“You’re not old dad you’re only a few hundred years old.” Fitz and Biana say at the same time

“Thank you, but I’m still waiting for an explanation.”

Biana sighed, “What do you want to know?”

“Everything!” her mom shouted.

Biana giggles. “Fitz volunteers!”

“Thank you, Biana, for so graciously offering to go first.”

“So a friend and I like each other I kissed him, and then we danced last night. No biggie.”

“You kissed him?” Della asks. Biana claps her hands over her mouth

“Uuuuuh. . .maybe.” Fitz laughs so hard he falls out of his chair. Still rolling on the floor laughing he says,

“Naughty, naughty Biana. I just asked a friend to dance and she said yes.” Fitz says. 

Biana scowled at him, “It’s more like an acquaintance. You guys don't even know each other.”  She said, ” And technically he kissed me” 

“And did you pick up your match packet?” Della asked Biana.

“Noooo. . .”

“I know where we are going today” 

“Mooooooooooooooooooom!” She complained. Then she brightened. “You should pick up your list Fitz.” He groaned.

“I’m not old enough yet. And stop ordering me around.”
