Brown Eyes
By Dearlylovedaimee

Greenlee, Kendall, Mia, and Simone all sat around their table at S.O.S. They hadn't spoken to each other all night; and from the looks of things, they showed no signs of letting up. For whatever reason, the four of them were acting like five year-olds, and it was starting to drive Bianca and Lena nuts.

The pair was celebrating their one-year anniversary, and they just thought it might be nice to invite their friends to share in the wealth. Once Erica got hold of the idea the couple's might be festivities, she just couldn't resist.

She invited half the town and just wouldn't take no for an answer. So what was supposed to be an intimate evening with their closest friends turned into the place to be.

Erica couldn't help but be proud of her baby and Lena. They had gone through a lot over the past year and half, and she just wanted to show them that she supported their relationship. It was quite an unexpected turn of events for Pine Valley's reigning Diva, but if it made her happy, then who were Bianca and Lena to argue?

Truth be told, Lena and Bianca were actually having a good time, but they just couldn't help but feel that the Fusion Four were out to ruin their big night.

Bianca couldn't stand it any longer, she looked back and fourth between her girlfriend and the four girls sitting at their table and felt her anger begin to bubble up to the surface.

"Okay you guys, I have just about enough of this! What the hell is going on?"

Lena put her arm around her girlfriend and began to slowly stroke her hand calmly. She hated when Bianca got upset; but even she had to admit that after two hours of the "I'm not speaking to you thing," even her patience was being tried. This whole night was getting old. And if the four of them didn't start talking, Lena knew her girlfriend couldn't be held accountable for what she might do.

When none of them jumped to answer Bianca's question, it only made her anger intensify. She didn't want to resort to this, but they were ruining her anniversary and her night all together.

"Alright, if that's how you're going to play, then I'm game. If one of you doesn't start talking by the time I'm done counting to three, then I will be forced to ask you all to leave. One…two…two and a half… th…"

Kendall was the first one to speak up.

"Why don't you ask Greenlee and Simone, I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you what's going on!"

Kendall went right back to the same position she was in before she spoke up. Her facial expression was blank, she had re-crossed her arms over her chest, and she resumed her staring at absolutely nothing.

Greenlee and Simone immediately reacted.

"Kendall Hart how dare you! It's not Simone and my fault you two can't handle us working together."

"Yeah!"

"That's my Simone, always has a way with words!"

Mia threw an evil glare Simone's way, and all Simone could do was let her mouth hang open in shock.

"Mia Saunders, how dare you…why don't you just go to hell!"

Lena just pinched the bridge of her noise in frustration; this was obviously getting them nowhere fast and she was starting to get a headache she could really do without.

"Alright that's enough, all of you. What in the hell is going on? Please tell me you aren't wrecking me and Bianca's anniversary party, over something as stupid as jealousy. I mean, honestly you guys give it a rest.

Mia, Simone loves you. If after six months you can't see that…well, then you need to get your prescription checked. And Kendall Hart, don't even get me started on you. I am so sick of you and Greenlee. Why don't you two just do it and get it over with, because it is so apparent to everyone in this town, that you two want each other. Face it guys, you're never going to get over one another. So why don't you do the world a big fat favor and just admit it!

Now if you'll please excuse me, I am going to get something to take my Tylenol with. Sweetie can I get you anything while I'm up?"

Bianca just shook her head no and gave Lena a quick kiss before she left. She just loved it when her girlfriend took charge; it was just so…sexy!

Greenlee wanted to avoid looking over at Kendall more than anything she had ever wanted in her entire life, but Lena was right. She and Kendall had been doing the same dance for almost three months and it was starting to get on her nerves. If she didn't make a move and fast, she knew that Ryan would snatch Kendall up right from under her.

She began to throw little side-glances Kendall's way and pretty soon, Kendall was joining her. They began to play a game of look away, until finally they both caught each other. It took them no less than ten seconds to realize they were being complete and utter idiots. Slowly, smiles began to spread over each of their faces, and before either one of them could speak up, Simone beat them to the punch.

"Lena's right you know."

Mia didn't bother to look at her girlfriend, for fear she would give in. She just continued to keep her eyes fixed straight a head of her and speak through clinched teeth.

"Right about what?"

"I do love you. I just don't understand how you can't see that?"

Mia's heart pinched at her girlfriend's change in tone. She broke her eye contact with the dance floor and moved it to where Simone was sitting.

Simone on the other hand, was looking down at the floor with hurt spread all over her face. She hated when she and Mia fought, but it wasn't her fault she was so damn jealous all of the time. Why couldn't Mia just trust her?

"Simone I…"

"Ladies and gentleman, we have a special request and dedication to some members of our audience. This one goes out to the lovely ladies of Fusion."

As the music began to play, Lena returned to the table and held her hand out to Bianca. Bianca took it with a smile and followed behind her, onto the dance floor.

"REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WHEN I SAW YOUR FACE
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WHEN YOU SMILED AT ME
YOU STEPPED TO ME AND YOU SAID TO ME
I WAS THE WOMAN YOU DREAMED ABOUT
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WHEN YOU CALLED MY HOUSE
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WHEN YOU TOOK ME OUT
WE HAD BUTTERFLIES ALTHOUGH WE TRIED TO HIDE
AND WE BOTH HAD A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT"


As the couple began to dance to the music, Greenlee, Kendall, Mia, and Simone just watched. Bianca and Lena looked so romantic out on the dance floor; and it made them all hope that someday, they could experience that kind of love.

"THE WAY WE HELD EACH OTHERS HAND
THE WAY WE WALKED THE WAY WE LAUGHED
IT FELT SO GOOD TO FIND TRUE LOVE
I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE YOU WERE THE ONE"

Mia couldn't take it any more. She realized how stupid she had been and how much she desperately wanted to dance with Simone.

"I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE SHE TOLD ME SO
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE HER FEELINGS SHOW
WHEN SHE STARES AT ME YOU SEE SHE CARES FOR ME
YOU SEE HOW SHE IS SO DEEP IN LOVE
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE ITS OBVIOUS
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE IT'S ME SHE TRUSTS
AND SHE'S MISSING ME IF SHE 'S NOT KISSING ME
AND WHEN SHE LOOKS AT ME HER BROWN EYES TELLS HER SOUL"

Mia stood up from her seat and held her hand out to Simone. Simone just smiled and accepted. They made their way out to the dance floor and snuggled in close together.

"REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY THE FIRST DAY WE KISSED
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WE HAD AN ARGUMENT
WE APOLOGIZED AND THEN WE COMPROMISED
AND WE HAVEN'T ARGUED SINCE
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY WE STOPPED PLAYING GAMES
REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
IT FELT SO GOOD FOR YOU TO SAY THOSE WORDS
CAUSE I FELT THE SAME WAY TOO "

Simone leaned into Mia and put her head on her shoulder. Mia kissed the top of her forehead and whispered I love you and I'm sorry in her ear. She could definitely guarantee this was going to be their last fight for a long time to come.

"THE WAY WE HELD EACH OTHERS HAND
THE WAY WE TALKED THE WAY WE LAUGHED
IT FELT SO GOOD TO FALL IN LOVE
AND I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE YOU WERE THE ONE"

Kendall and Greenlee watched their friends and smiled. Then they turned their attentions to one another and smiled again.

"I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE SHE TOLD ME SO
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE HER FEELINGS SHOW
WHEN SHE STARES AT ME YOU SEE SHE CARES FOR ME
YOU SEE HOW SHE IS SO DEEP IN LOVE
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE ITS OBVIOUS
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE IT'S ME SHE TRUSTS
AND SHE'S MISSING ME IF SHE 'S NOT KISSING ME
AND WHEN SHE LOOKS AT ME HER BROWN EYES TELLS HER SOUL"

Greenlee stood up and offered her hand to Kendall. Kendall took it and allowed Greenlee to help her out of her seat. They joined their other cohorts on the dance floor and let themselves get swept up in the song.

"I'M SO HAPPY SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE IN MY LIFE
AND BABY NOW THAT YOU'RE A PART OF ME
YOU SHOWED ME
SHOWED ME THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE
AND I KNOW SHE LOVES ME"

Lena and Bianca just watched as each of the couples looked deep into one another's eyes. Lena smiled at how brilliantly her plan had worked, and returned her attentions back to her lovely girlfriend.

"I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE SHE TOLD ME SO
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE HER FEELINGS SHOW
WHEN SHE STARES AT ME YOU SEE SHE CARES FOR ME
YOU SEE HOW SHE IS SO DEEP IN LOVE
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE ITS OBVIOUS
I KNOW THAT SHE LOVES ME CAUSE IT'S ME SHE TRUSTS
AND SHE'S MISSING ME IF SHE'S NOT KISSING ME
AND WHEN SHE LOOKS AT ME HER BROWN EYES TELLS HER SOUL"

Bianca placed her hand behind Lena's head and pulled her into an earth shattering kiss, as a thank you for being her knight in shinning armor.

"SHE LOOKS AT ME AND HER BROWN EYES TELL HER SOUL"

The others soon followed their lead, and the rest of the night was spent falling in love with each other all over again.
