''' Sophie ran out of the matchmaking building, past Grady and Edaline, and into the big open streets, tears pricking her eyes. Grady, Edaline, and the two matchmakers called her name, but she kept running. She pulled out her light leaping crystal, spun  it to the facet, and stepped into the light, letting the warm feathers wisk her away. '''

'''   Sophie looked up at the glowing gates towering over her. But she wasn't there to talk to Fitz. The gates swung open and Biana grabbed her arm, leading her inside. '''

'''   "What did you want to tell me?" Biana asked as they entered her room. '''

'''   Sophie looked down. "I-I'm... Umatchable!" Sophie started crying, her shoulders shaking as Biana pulled her into a hug. '''

'''   "It's gonna be okay. Have you told Fitz yet?" Biana pulled back and looked her friend in the eyes. '''

   "No. I'm afraid to. What will he say?"

'''   "He'll be okay. He won't give up on you. I promise." Biana hugged her again. '''

'''   "I think I need another stuffed animal." Sophie wiped her tears on her sleeve. '''

                                                           ***** * *****

'''   Fitz's imparter buzzed, and Biana's face appeared. "Sophie's a little upset, but I think she'll be okay. She told you, right? Anyways, she really likes Jacob. She's, like, in love with him, and he really comforts her. Gotta go, bye!" Her face disappeared. '''

'''   Who was Jacob? She loved him? Fitz called Sophie up on his imparter. "We're done. I can't believe you!" He hung up before she could answer, shaking with anger. Her called Linh. The impressive hydrokinetic blushed when he asked her to come with her somewhere. She really was pretty. But he still couldn't believe Sophie. '''

                                                         ***** * *****

'''   Sophie was confused. What was that about. What did he mean? Did he now she was unmatchable? She hugged Ella and her new stuffed alicorn, Jacob, closer. She hadn't been able to help but choose a  human name. She cried for a long time.'''

***** * *****

'''       Keefe heard a quiet voice in his head. ''Keefe? Can you hear me? ''"Foster?" He said out loud. Oh, yeah, telepathy. He rolled his eyes. She couldn't have just used her imparter. What is it, Foster? ''Do you need something? ''Was she hurt? '''

'   Can you come over? To Havenfield? I need... someone. To talk to. '

'   What happened to the Fitzter? '

'     That's what I need to talk to you about. '

'     Oh. ''Against his will, his heart leapt with excitment. He tried to keep his mental tone calm. But it was difficult. Was this his chance? ''I'll be right over. '

'     Keefe? Thanks. '

     Anytime, Foster.

                                                              ***** * ******

''' Keefe glittered into view in the Havenfield pastures. Sophie was standing there, waiting for him, tears tracking down her cheeks. ​​​​​     "Did he dump you? What happened?" Keefe grabbed her hand and pulled her toward Silveny and Grayfell's pasture, where the two Alicorns were resting with their twins, Luna and Wynn. '''

'''     Sophie nodded. "Some how he found out I'm unmatchable." She couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and she buried her head in his shoulders. Silveny lifted her head at the sound of Sophie and Keefe approaching. '''

'     Sophie okay? Sophie okay? Sophie okay? '

'     ''Sophie looked up. ''Sad. ''She transmitted to the overly hyper Alicorn. '''

'''     "What's she saying? I bet she's chanting my name." Keefe smirked. Sophie just looked at the ground. '''

'     Why Sophie sad? '

'     Someone I loved.. or thought I loved... is gone. They left me. '

'     'Who? Should I bite them? ''Silveny's mind darkened and filled with violent thoughts. No one was going to hurt Sophie and get away with it.'''

**** * ***** 

'     No, don't bite Fitz. It's okay. For now. '

'     ''"I don't have a clue as to what you two are talking about, but Sophie... I have something to tell you." He looked at the ground. '''

'''     "Right now?" Sophie asked eagerly. '''

'''     Keefe nodded. '''

'''     "Wait, did you just call me So-" She started to ask, but Keefe interrupted. '''

'''     "I like you. Like, crush like. Your amazing, and beautiful, and smart, brilliant, way better than me. And I know I have nothing to offer, but... I want a chance at your heart, if you'll let me. I know Fitz leaving you is kinda sudden, so we can go slow. Please?" He looked up just in time to see her pulling him into a hug. '''

'''     "Oh, Keefe... I don't know what to say. I thought I liked Fitz. Now I think I like you. But how can I know? For sure? I can't just dump one person and go to the next. Let's wait. Take things slowly." Sophie pulled away and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. And she realized that he was the person she wanted. She couldn't say she for sure wanted to marry him, she was only fifteen. But this mad things a whole lot better. '''

'''     "That's.. That's great! But I just realized that I have to go, Foster." He fanned the air, already back to his old self. "Quite a few emotions your throwing at me. Do I feel love in the mix?" '''

'''     "I think it's time for you to go..." Sophie laughed. '''

'''     He made a face like he had been wounded. "I see how it really is..." He joked. "Later, Foster." With that he leaped away. '''

'''     Sophie sighed. ''Silveny, he likes me! Keefe 'no-middle-name' Sencen likes me! '

'     Like!Like!Like! '

'     Yes, like! '

'     Sophie happy? '

'     Sophie happy! '

'     ''Pulled out her imparter. "Biana," She whispered. '''

'''     "Sophie? How'd it go talking to Fitz? You DID tell him, right?" '''

'''     "Um, no, I thought you did...?" '''

'''     Biana's face turned white. "You didn't tell him... anything?"'''

     "No."

'''     "You didn't even... talk to him? Since you found out?" '''

     "Well... He called me and said that we were over, and didn't let me get a word out. I had no idea why, so I assumed you had told him."

    "Uh oh. I think I need to talk to Fitz. I'll be over there after I talk to him. And he just dumped you. Why aren't you sad at all? I mean, not that I want you to be, but... You know, I thought you would at least be upset."

'''     "I was. But something wonderful happened! I'll tell you when you come." '''

'''     Biana's face disappeared. Was it just Sophie's imagination, or was something really wrong? '''

                                                                      ***** * *****

'''Biana knocked on Fitz's door. "Who is it?" ''Uh oh. He's angry. '

'''     "Me. Biana. I REALLY need to talk to you." '''

'''     A sigh. "Come in." '''

'''     Biana creaked open the door and walked in, then sat in front of the bed. "I think there's been a misunderstanding. I probably should have specified exactly who Jacob is. And Sophie didn't tell you, did she?" Fitz balled his hands into fists. "I'm not talking if it's about Sophie." '''

'''     "Please, just listen. Jacob is a stuffed alicorn! And the thing Sophie was gonna tell you is she's unmatchable! I didn't know she hadn't told you! I'm really sorry. But why'd you break up with her?" '''

'''     His face softened. He almost looked guilty. Then realization dawned on her. "FItz I'm so sorry!"'''

     "Don't worry about it. I think Linh is the one for me. Maybe. I don't know."

 *** * **********

'''"I mean... I thought I liked Sophie. I really did. But maybe I was  wrong? Linh is just... So qieut, sweet, and gentle... Everything you could want. Sophie... She's amazing. An amazing friend. But I think we should be JUST friends. And I think I need to apologize to her." Fitz pulled out his leaping crystal and leapt away before Biana could get a word in. Biana followed him. '''

'''     Havenfeild glittered into focus to show Sophie, Fitz, and Keefe talking, Keefe's had resting on Sophie's arm. Biana slowly approached them, vanishing so they wouldn't know she was there. '''

'''     "So... You two are a thing?" Sophie and Fitz both said at the same time. They both laughed. '''

'''     "You go first." Fitz looked from Sophie to Keefe. '''

'''     "Yes. And you and Linh?" '''

     "Yeah... No hard feelings?"

'''     "No hard feelings." Sophie smiled up at him. '''

'''     Biana gasped, unable to hold  her silence any longer. She looked between Sophie and Keefe, who were now staring at her, along with Fitz. She light leaped away just before the tears came. '''

 **** * ****

'''     Biana collapsed on her bed sobbing. Why? Why Keefe? Why did he have to be the one she chose? Keefe was funny, charming, handsome, an incredible artist... everything she wanted. So why? She curled into a ball, pulling her knees up into her chest. She slowly started singing. ' I'm trying to hold my breath... Let it stay this way, can't let this moment end.. *sob* you set off a dream in me..." Keefe flashed through her mind, his face laughing, crying, serious, silly... Images flashed by. Memories. "Gettin' louder now.. Can you hear it echoing? Take my hand.. Will you share this with me? 'Cause darling without you..." Biana cried herself to sleep. '''

***** * ***** 

'''  Linh walked along with Fitz, but she had a funny feeling. Almost like... regret... And a certain olive toned boy's face kept coming to the fore front of her mind. Wylie. What about Wylie? How had she completely forgotton about him? And what was she thinking, just agreeing to date Fitz like she had? When had she become one of those girls who dated because everyone else did, and the person is the most popular? ''I don't want to be Fitz's hopeful. I want to be Wylie's. '

'     ''She slowly pulled away from Fitz. "Fitz, this isn't right. I can't just pretend I like you. I know that not five minutes ago I was agreeing with you that we were a thing now but -" '''

'''     Understanding dawned on Fitz's face. "You like Wylie, don't you." He slowly nodded his head, as if he'd come to an agreement with someone. '''

'''     Linh looked down. ''Honestly, he's taking this a LOT better than I expected. ''"I'm so sorry Fitz. I don't know what I was saying. I'm sorry." '''

'''     Fitz said," I think your right. I was angry. I never should have asked you that..." '''

'      Oh, so THAT'S why he's taking it so well... '

'     ''"Yeah... It was a little ridiculous," Linh said. '''

'''     He gave her a funny look. '''

     "Oh, no offense."

'''      He sighed. "Let's go tell the others.'''

That's all I got, for now! -
