Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis.

*Mara's POV*

Trudy allowed Alfie to stay home. I'm still (though I shouldn't be) surprised that this happened. We all talked with him for a bit and came to the conclusion that Jerome was to blame. Has he no conscience?

Mr. Winkler had us rehearse the prom scene first... in FULL-COSTUME. Most of the boys looked ready to wolf whistle when Amber dragged Patricia onstage, but didn't because they all knew she'd cream them if they so much as formed an "o" with their lips. Jerome had the nerve to raise his eyebrows, smile, and nod his head. You know...the 'I'm digging this' look.

Call me crazy, but from the signals he was sending out, I was eighty-two-point-seven percent sure he wouldn't be pranking Patricia. I was pretty sure he'd bribe someone to take a picture of her for him though. They started (Patricia somewhat forcibly) running their lines (mostly flirting). I gave a small smile. Patricia definitely looked like she was enjoying herself. I was half-convinced she'd pull a theatrical faint.

Mick walked over and started talking to me. Nina and Fabian were conversing backstage.

*Fabian's POV*

"So what did you think of Alfie's getup this morning?" I asked Nina.

"Very...Alfie," she replied. "Jerome is quite the Hollywood makeup artist."

"Totally." I did my Alfie impression just to see her laugh. I love my girlfriend. I still can't believe she said yes. My younger brother and sister have been begging me to bring her round during spring break. "Wh-what?" I shook my head. "Sorry?"

"I said, 'I like your Alfie impression way better than your one of Victor.'"

Oh, you know that was the perfect setup. In my Victor voice I exclaimed,"Is that so Miss Martin? Here. I want to be able to see my face in that toilet bowl."

Nina continued to chuckle. While I was goofily grinning at her, Amber walked over.

"OVB! Check me out!" She did a twirl. Her knee-length blue skirt fanned out. She made me think of a fairy dancing. That's Amber for ya.

"You look lovely as always, Amber," Nina said.

"I know," she replied. I discreetly rolled my eyes.

*Nina's POV*

I smiled at Fabian after Amber sauntered back over to her makeup table. "This year's been going great, so much better than I expected, and you should know I had some seriously high expectations when I came here," I told him.

"Awesome," he replied. "So are you enjoying every bit of England?"

"Definitely."

"Pranksters, Victor, Amber, and all?" he teased.

"Pranksters, not-so-much-Victor-but-oh-well, especially Amber and all." It's true. I love this place and all my housemates: Fabian, my geek-chic British boyfriend; Amber, my BBF; Patricia, who although at first cold eventually warmed up to me; Mara, sweet and super-smart; alien-obsessed Alfie; sports-crazy Mick; evil prankster, Jerome. This year has been amazing so far. Even with the threat of Jerome's and Alfie's insane pranks looming around the corner, I wouldn't have it any other way. This play will be something to see, too. There'll be so many stories to share with Gran.

"Nina, Fabian, could you fix the lighting, please?" Mr. Winkler asked.

"We're on it." Fabian and I walked over to the switches.

"We should go out front and watch this scene-I think it will be something to remember."

I laughed. "Definitely."

And so continued another day at the House of Anubis.

The End

A/N: I decided to wrap this story up because when I started it I hadn't planned anything out. I don't want to lose my original vision. The plot's been very whimsical. It pains me to end it because this was my first ever fanfiction and it's been such a positive experience. A big THANK YOU to everyone out there. Thanks for taking the time to read my story. Thanks for taking the time to review. You guys are the best!

See you wherever whenever,

allthepossibilities :)
