Jabian

Jabian (J/oy and F/abian) is the romantic pairing of Joy Mercer and Fabian Rutter. The two didn't have a lot of screen time together in Season 1 (because Joy went missing) but they were very close in the first episode. In The Secrets Within: Secret Scene, Joy said she still liked him. It is hinted that Joy may had liked Fabian before she disappeared. Patricia has also stated that they might have had something going on. Joy also has a nickname for Fabian, "Fabes" and this could also be hinting that she does like him and that she always had liked him. If you go to the Nickelodeon site, Joy's character says that she's back this term and will do whatever it takes to get Fabian back.

In an Uncover The Clues: Part 3 Clip on Nick, there was a scene that the narrator said "waft of romance" and it showed Joy and Fabian on the couch.

This pairing can also be called Jobian (Jo/y and Fa/bian), Foy (F/abian and J/oy), and Faboy (Fab/ian and J/'''oy). '''
