CHAPTER 1

"Who thought you could look so good with your bedhead still on?"

Sophie groaned. "Keefe, stop it! You know I'm trying to think of a way to tell - I mean, of a way to get Tam back from the Neverseen."

"Tell what?"

"Keefe, it's none of your business. This is between me and Fitz." It forced itself out of Sophie's mouth before she could stop them. She knew Keefe was dissapointed that she and Fitz had become a couple - and her words didn't exactly satisfy him.

So Keefe pressed on. "What do you need to tell Fitz that you can't tell me? If it's 'I love you,' you can tell me anyday. You know that."

"Keefe, why are you do bad at staying out of other people's business?" Sophie let out a deep breath and lowered her voice. "I know it was stupid of me since Tam had just gotten taken to the Neverseen but... I went to get my Match packets, but they can't match me." She returned her voice to normal. "Now. We're discussing our plans with Mr. Forkle later. Any ideas on how to -"

"Foster! We should probably talk about this. I know of lot's of things you could tell Fitz."

Sophie realy didn't want to talk about it. She felt too many things - sadness about Fitz, annoyance towards Keefe, guilt for being such a bad friend to Tam and Linh, and more guilt for not feeling anything about Dex at all. Still, even though she wanted to be discussing important things, Keefe had her interested. "As in?"

"Well - and I don't want to pressure you. I know you like him way more than you'll ever like me. But - you could tell him you don't want him to be a bad match so you'll just date me instead -"

"KEEFE, YOU ARE SUCH A NUT!"

"Thanks. But you wouldn't actually date me - unless you wanted to, of course." He smirked. Sophie rolled her eyes, so Keefe continued. "It would just get him going so he'll decide he doesn't want to lose you. You know? Then he wouldn't care about being a bad match."

Sophie brought out her sarcasm. "Great idea Keefe. I'm totally going to do that. Best idea ever. Now, any idea for the important issue right now?"

"Oh, about Tam! Now I feel like a really bad frenemesis. I think you should just check with him every night like you did with me, and -"

"I don't know the feel of his thoughts very well," Sophie interrupted. "And even if I did-"

"Eh, just look for an annoying depressed boy who's obsessed with his hair."

"I'd run into you."

"Hah! Good one, Foster! I'm very proud of you." Keefe looked pleased. "Or! Maybe you could find his thoughts using the almighty power of Fitzphie cognate power. Wait! Let's say Sophitz, since I'm pretty sure you'll do most of the work yourself."

Sophie rolled her eyes, but what he said made sense. Besides, it would mean she would get to spend quality time with Fitz without having the awkward conversation that she knew awaited them.

"That's a good idea. I'll bring it up with Mr. Forkle."

"You should probably bring it up with Fitz first, so you can have conversations with him that are unrelated to... you know."

Sophie nodded. That was a good idea.



That night, Sophie stretched her conciousness to Fitz. Fitz replied extremely quickly.

Sophie?

   Fitz!

   What's this about?

''   We have an idea for how to help with the Tam situation. I could check on him every night, you know, like I did with Keefe. But I would need your - why are your thoughts turning sour?''

   They aren't.

   I'm in your mind, Fitz.

''   Sorry. I just... why does every cute boy in the universe like you? Never mind. You need my what?''

''   -Help. I need you to help me find Tam's thoughts so I can learn the feel of them. It will make it waaay easier to check in with him every night. And...''

   And what?

   I just want to talk to you.

   What do you want to tell me?

   It might be best to say in person.

   I can't wait.

   Me neither.

''   Love you. Goodnight.''

   Goodnight.

Sophie's heart began to race. Did he just use the phrase "Love you"? On her?



"Ugh! This is impossible!" Sophie clutched her head. Tam didn't seem to be anywhere, and all this mind-stretching was beginning to hurt.

"So... wait. Is Fitzphie failing? I told you, we should do Sophitz instead!" Keefe flashed his trademark smirk, and Sophie smacked her head.

"We're not failing. We just need to keep trying," Fitz assured him, taking Sophie's hand. A little creature crawled up her spine, and her heart went into fluttery-flutter mode. Her stomach even began to flip over as well.

She closed her eyes again, stretching out her consiousness, and Fitz gave her an incredible boost. And... maybe this was Tam? She listened in on the conversation he was having.

Why not?

''Because then your friends might find it okay to just march in here and "save" you. They really need to sort out their priorities, though. The Moonlark went to get her match packets first thing after you joined us.''

Shame bubbled up inside Sophie. "This is him," Sophie confirmed. But Fitz had something different on his mind.

"You got your match packets?"

Her mouth turned to sandpaper as she slowly nodded. "We should probably talk about this somewhere else."



"I... can't believe that." Fitz reached up and pluched a few leaves off of Calla's tree.

"So... sorry if you don't like me anymore."

"Sophie, nothing can change the fact that I like you. We'll just get the names of your genetic parents at the upcoming meeting with the Collective. I will strangle Mr. Forkle until he gives me the answer."

Sophie smiled a little. "So nothing's changed?"

"Unless you want it to."

Sophie shook her head. "I don't." She paused. "Wait, actually I do."

Fitz looked down. "Change how?"

"I want to start dating officially. You know... for real."

Fitz beamed. Sophie didn't think he'd ever given her such a perfect smile. Hollywoodwould have this in a heartbeat. Then he started nervously looking around.

"What is it?"

He turned back and smiled. "Just doing a Keefe check." And then he kissed her.
