Finn watched as the girls all came in the restaurant laughing. Willa had her arm around Jess's shoulders, Charlene held the attention of the group with some comical story. Philby was obviously behind the group and wore a dark expression. Finn caught Amanda ' s eye and raised in eyebrows in question, she shook her head, her face telling him she had no idea what was going on. She came and sat next to him, he smiled and took her hand. Finn watched as Willa sat at one end of the table and Philby sat at the other end. They were probably fighting again, not that was unusual, he was just a little surprised. When he last talked to Amanda she had told him about when Willa came to visit. Apparently they were really happy. Oh well, he had more important things to think about. He turned to Amanda, who had sat down next to him.

"Hey, I've missed you"

"I missed you too" she said eyes glowing.

And looking in to her eyes he forgot all about any problems Willa and Philby might have.

Charlene leaned back against Maybeck's arm. She cuddled up to his side, they were far from dating. The whole long distance thing was not easy for them, especially because they were never officially together. She savored this time. It was late Christmas day, they were all sprawled around her apartment. Amanda and Finn were deep in a conversation over in the corner by her little Christmas tree. Willa and Philby were sitting with Jess on the sofa talking, or rather Jess was sitting with them, the two were sitting so close together there was no way anyone was sitting in between them. Charlene smiled, happy that they had worked out whatever issue they had had earlier in the week. They still seemed a bit more at odds than they had earlier in the year but at least they were getting along again. She let out a breath, she cared so much about their relationship, maybe it was because hers wasn't working out quite as she hoped. She turned and looked at Maybeck who had fallen sleep. A tender look came to her eyes. He drove her insane, and yet, laying her head on his chest, she never wanted this moment to end.

A/N Just some Famanda and Charbeck for y'all! Ugh I'm not pleased with the quality of this chapter at all. I'm sorry for the bad writing...
