"Fates Intervention"

This is my first time writing fanfiction,I am not a writer at all so please review and tell me what you think. I kinda have an idea of where this story is heading but I'd love some feedback and reviews. As well as if you have some ideas for the story I'd love to hear it all even if its not good cause I would love to learn from this and hopefully do more of it. :)

*I do not own Degrassi although it would be awesome if I did*

"Thank you so much for this wonderful evening" Clare says to her date as he walks her to her apartment.

After the two said there goodbyes and Clare walked into her apartment closing the door behind her she let out a huge sigh of relief. She was so glad that the awful date was over. She then reminded herself to yell at Alli tomorrow at lunch for setting her up with someone so awful.

Clare then jumped into the shower hoping that the warm water would wash away the awfulness of tonight's date. As she walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom she couldn't help but stop for a moment and look around at her bedroom. She was living in a gorgeous 4 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment in New York but she still couldn't shake the feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling her there were things that were missing from her life.

Clare had moved to New York after she graduated from The University of Southern California with a masters in Journalism. Clare was able to get an interview at The New York Times right after she graduated and upon having her interview and turning in a few test articles she was hired. At the moment Clare was writing in the reviews section with hopes of soon be able to move up to more hard hitting journalism, but she knew that she must pay her dues first.

As she laid in her bed,she told herself to brush off the feeling that there were things missing from her life because the way that she looked at it was that she had an amazing job,a great apartment and wonderful friends. So she shouldn't be feeling anything but happiness. She then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The Next Afternoon

"Alli how could you possibly think that Dominic was a good match for me" Clare yelled

"Well he is a doctor at my hospital and he is gorgeous. I just figured he would get you out of the dating rut that you have been in lately"said Alli

"Clare what can I do to make this up to you?"

"Well I do have to review this play tonight and I happen to have an extra ticket. It would be nice to not have to go alone" Clare pouted.

"Done,consider yourself lucky to be able to get a date with Alli Bhandari on such short notice" laughed Alli.

"I'll only consider myself lucky if Miss Bhandari puts out" laughed Clare

The two girls had been best friends since the 9th grade so being able to be so open and joke around this way with one another was normal. It had been hard for them when they went off to college, Alli was in Massachusetts at MIT and Clare was in Sunny California at USC,but they managed to survive and stay as close as ever. Now they were both in the same place and it made them so happy to have each other around again.

"So what play is it that we shall be going to see?" asked Alli

"It's called Finding My Way Back"

"And since tonight is opening night we get to go to the after party and if I like the play I will be interviewing the director/playwright before the party"

"Wow that sounds amazing,I need to start going on more dates with you"Alli laughed

*Later That Night*

Clare and Alli showed up at the theater both looking absolutely stunning,they both figured that since they would be going to the party afterwards they might as well step it up a notch cause as Alli says you never know who you could meet.

As they walked into the theater they are each handed a program. Clare hands her program over to Alli,see Clare had a very specific way of reviewing. She didn't want to know anything about the play,the actors or the director. She liked to be kept in the dark about things like that,just in case it was a favorite actor or playwright or director that way she could remain UN-bias if she hated the work.

"Um Clare you need to see this" Alli said with a semi worried tone.

As Clare turned to look at her friend she saw her pointing to something in the program.

"Alli you know my rule about looking at things that are in the program" Clare said in an annoyed tone

"But seriously Clare your never going to believe this"

"Alli drop it,I need to stay un-bias for the review"

"Alright then don't say I didn't try to warn you"

2 hours later both Alli and Clare were in tears. Both of the girls thought that the play was the most beautifully romantic play that they had ever seen.

"Wow I wish I had someone who loved me like that " exclaimed Alli

"Me too" replied Clare

Clare turned to face Alli and noticed she had a smirk on her face

"What?"

"You'll see"

"Well I have to go backstage to interview everyone,so go to the party and I'll meet up with you in about an hour"

"Ok,I can not wait to hear all about you're interview" said Alli with a huge grin on her face.

"Um okay then,see you in a few"

*Backstage*

"Hello I'm Clare Edwards,New York Times here to interview the Director/Playwright"Clare said flashing her press pass.

"Hey Worthsy a reporter from the New York Times is here to interview you"

"Worthsy? What an unfortunate name" Clare thought to herself

Clare was standing around watching all the hoopla going on around her when she heard someone clear there throat behind her and say

"So I hear your here to interview me?"

"I sure am" Clare said as she began to turn around.

"I'm,Eli?" Clare said with a look of shock on her face.
