(I think I might start changing my writing styles soon)
(:Mackenzie's POV:)
So, Rachel has siblings and hadn't informed us until Maya and Clara decided to hang out with them? And Rachel's probably in love with Ira? And her siblings know? And Maya thinks it's pretty cute, probably doesn't realize how much of a problem that could build..
Stop panicking, Rachel's smart.
"So," Rachel started saying, "what brings you two girls here?"
"We wanted to hang out!" Maya said happily.
"Maybe for you." I said.
"Hmm?" Maya looked confused.
"You know Natalie will probably kick you off the team if she finds out.." I whispered to Rachel, "She's already suspicious, and it will probably get worse if you don't keep your distance.."
"I know.." Rachel said, looking disappointed- or sad- that it had to be this way.
"But, she's totally okay with me being friends with Regina?" Maya gasped.
"Which is absolutely stupid." I said.
"That's she's okay with it, or that she's okay with me being friends with Regina and she doesn't like Rachel being friends with Ira?" Maya asked.
"A lot of this isn't making sense, but keep going." Rachel sighed.
"It's stupid that she can encourage you and Regina being.." I mumbled, "a little more than friends, but she hates the fact that Rachel could even think of having a nice conversation with Ira!" I groaned at the thought of how I could even be mad about it at first, too.
"So I see you've changed your feelings on this matter?" Rachel smiled.
"Yeah, when I tried looking at it from your perspective, I realized how wrong we were to be mad and how amazing it was that you went out of your way to help even Ira.." I admitted. Rachel really was that nice of a person. Maybe she was seeing good in Ira or something, but he seemed different around her.
"Thanks.." Rachel looked entirely pleased.
"Aren't we amazing friends?" Maya asked enthusiastically, achieving laughs from me and Rachel.

(:Natalie's POV:)
"So, Rachel's friends with Ira. And we have to stop this."
Rory had explained that Ira had come back over after Rachel helped him, and now Rachel and Ira were getting along?
I knew there was something wrong with it!!
Rory raised his hand.
"Yes?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.
"As much as I agree with you, he's not that mean when he's at our place." Rory said, scratching the back of his head.
"Unacceptable!! If Rachel grows attached to him, we could lose! You do know what that means, right?" I pinched the bridge of my nose, pointing the ruler at Rory.
"Yes...."
I took a deep breath, turning around for a second.
Control your angry. Everything just needs to be sorted out. It's not my fault everyone's not as great as I. This is for the good of the world.
I turned back, my fists clinched in anger. I had called Rory to my house while Rachel was busy studying. We were in the backyard and Rory was in human form as to not raise suspicion from my grandmother. I had a board and ruler, trying to work on a way with Rory to get Ira and Rachel to hate each other again.
"From now on, I need you to spy on them."
If Rory could come up with a way to separate them, maybe balance would resolve.
"But Rachel's my best friend!! I can't do that!!" Rory shot back.
"Do you want her to go off and be best friends with Ira, too? Or maybe even fall in love with him?" I had a bad feeling that Rachel didn't just see Ira as her friend or patient.
"No...." Rory crossed his arms and pouted.
"Then spy on them. I need a way to either blackmail them or just a way to make them hate each other. If you can spread rumors from on to the other, making them dislike each other, that would be amazing."
"..I guess I could do that.."
"Good. Then it's settled. You, my friend, are a spy."

<Rachel's house>
(:Third Perspective:)
Raymond and Raquel were heading downstairs, talking about getting fast food.
"No, I think I'd prefer an Italian restaurant." Raquel fancied, running a hand through his hair.
"We can't always be healthy. We're also not that rich. Calm down." Raymond patted his shoulder.
"I don't see why Ryan won't come." Raquel then thought, changing their conversation's subject.
"He's probably tired from socializing. Or maybe he's not hungry...
Their conversation trailed off they walked out of the door.
Rory thudded down the stairs after a moment, panicking that he might show he was "up to something".
"Oh, Rory! There you are," Rachel smiled at him from the kitchen, "I was looking for you."
"I, uh.. I went to hang out with Lance for a little while you studied!!" Rory scratched the back of his head nervously, waking into the kitchen.
"Okay. Well, please tell me when you leave next time. I don't want to think you're lost." Rachel ruffled his hair.
"Sorry, thank you." Rory said as Rachel handed him a plate of potato casserole.
"Yep." Rachel smiled. She had a plate for herself, and then an extra one.
"What's that for?" Rory queried.
"I have a feeling I might have a guest over."
"Who? Ira?" Rory had to stop his face from contorting in disgust.
"No." Rachel looked as the door opened to show the last person Rory would have thought of.
Regina.
