Sophitz

The Told Secret

Sophie was sitting under Calla's panacakes tree the next day, thinking, Nibuti was underground and Sandor was watching her nearby.

"Hi," she heard a familiar voice say.

Sophie turned, it was Dex. "Hi."

"So, <He hesitated for a moment> are you and Fitz, like, a thing?"

"Um..."

"Please tell me." Dex begged,

"Yes, we are." Sophie answered,

"I knew it." Dex said "I thought you didn't like Wonderboy?"

"I only said that because I didn't feel that way about you."

"But why don't you?"

"I just don't Dex, either there's a spark or not."

"But Wonderboy?" Dex asked

"Fitz, his name is Fitz." Sophie said firmly

"But why him?"

"I'm sorry, but I have to go." Sophie stood up then walked towards Havenfield.

When she stepped in, she realized that Grady and Edaline were outside in the Animal Pastures. She walked up to her bedroom, which took up the entire third floor of the Havenfield. She plopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, when she heard a knock. She opened the door and saw her boyfriend.

"Hi." they both said at the same time. Sophie led Fitz in and they sat on her bed.

"So, I was wondering if you could tell me about what happened between you and Dex, you know the one you always try not to tell me." Fitz asked,

"You know I-" Sophie started,

"If you won't tell me, I can always have Keefe tell me." Fitz said,

"Fine, but you can't let anyone know that you know." Sophie said, Fitz nodded to show he understood. "Dex came one day to show me the gadgets he made for my Enhancing, but he disguised them to look like crush cuffs. <Fitz's eyebrows shot up> He did that because he liked me, but I didn't like him back. So I tried to let him down easy, but he made it hard. I kissed him to show that there was now spark. That's it."

"So you still don't like him in that way?" Fitz asked,

"No!" she answered, Fitz nodded happily,

They were staring into each other's eyes, and blushing wieldy, when Keefe walked into the room.

"Hey Foster!" Keefe said happily.

"Hi Keefe." Sophie said.

"Hey." Fitz said.

"Am I ruining a Fitzphie moment?" Keefe joked,

"No." Sophie said at the same time Fitz said "Yes."

"Okay, well, I need to talk to Foster, so, see ya Fitzy!" Keefe said, plopping down between Sophie and Fitz.

Fitz glared at Keefe as he got up, but put his sweetest smile on for Sophie. "Bye." he said, waving. Sophie waved back.

"So, you made Fitzphie official?" Keefe asked,

"Um, ya." Sophie replied,

"How did Dizznee react?"

"I didn't want to tell him right away, but..." Sophie replied, trailing off,

Keefe was clearly reading her emotions when he said, "Ohhhh, <he circled his head for added effect> He'll get over it."

"I mean like, I thought he got over it the last time, but I guess I was wrong."

"Well, that's his problem, not yours, not mine." 

"It kinda is mine."

"Well, we aren't gonna talk about Dizznee right now, now it's Foster-Keefe time." Keefe said, with an added nod.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

"I was thinking, and this idea popped into my head. I realized that we have never searched Candleshade, so I need you to help me."

"If I say yes, what do you need my help for?"

"I need you to enhance me so I can search every floor and if my mom left anything behind."

"Okay, let me have time to think about it."

"You got it Foster, I'll be back same time tomorrow!" Keefe said exitedly.
