They still go together

A „Grease" Fanfiction by Chrissy

Sequel to "We go together"

Note: I don't own the characters of "Grease". The characters are property of Paramount Pictures, Jim Jacobs and Waren Casey. I just borrowed them to write this fanfiction. However there are some characters in this story that came from my imagination and therefore belong to me.

Chapter 1

Traveling across the country by train with a four year old girl wasn't easy and Lilliana's mother had to learn that the hard way. After chasing the little one up and down the train for nearly two hours both occupants of compartment number 16 were exhausted, the mother more than the daughter.

Finally the little girl fell asleep in her mothers arms.

Looking down at the small innocent face she could see the similarities with Lilly's father again, the girl might look more like her mother but those piercing eyes were truly her fathers. She remembered how she left him more than five years ago.

Five years! Time went by so fast. Back then she had left her friends, her family and her old life for good, without telling anybody. They expected her to come back but she didn't. Tomorrow would be the first day after five years to see all of her old friends again.

When she got the invitation to the wedding about three month ago she put the letter in her desk and ignored it. She knew many people would get hurt if she really returned to Rydell for a reunion, but four weeks ago the bride called and eventually persuaded her to attend the wedding. And here she was on the way back where it all began, her past life would soon mix up with her current life and trouble was to expect.

She knew it was her fault but she made the decission to leave and she'd do it again because so far it worked out well for her.

After the first semester on university she gave birth to the little girl in her arms and with the help of new friends she managed to study and raise her child at the same time. She graduated sucessfully a few month ago and was now working at a hospital to become a surgeon one day.

Lilly was cuddled in her favourite blanket sleeping on the seat, when the train finally passed the border of California. Her mother had to change the girls clothes twice since they got on the train, because the she first managed to put orange juice on her new dress and then she had an accident with some ice cream.

"Mummy" the little girl looked up with tired eyes.

"Yeah darling." Lillys mother looked over the rim of her book.

"Are we almost there?" The journey was long and the woman couldn't remember how ofter her daughter had asked this question since it started but this time she could give a more positive answer.

"Yeah almost, just an hour or so I would say and we'll be there. And now stop asking the same question again and again." That woke up the spirits of the little one.

"Oh really. Great." she got off the seat and danced around the compartment.

"And then I'm going to see your home and your friends?"

"I doubt that the house is still there but we can try and see what's there now. And you're going to see Sandy and Danny and the others tomorrow at the wedding, yes." She grabbed the girl by her waist and pulled her up.

"And we'll visit your grandmother at the cemetary."

"Oh yeah. I'd love to see her." Lilly cheered.

"Remember what I told you about the cemetary?"

"Yeah, I'm not allowed to jump 'round because people are asleep there." an irritated look appeared on the girls face. "Mommy?"

"Yes baby... what is it?" She could see something was wrong with her daughter and she hated that look on her face, it made her feel helpless.

"Why does grandma sleep there, why doesn't she just sleep at home with grandpa?"

"We already talked about that, remember." She stroke the girls hair.

"Yeah but I don't understand." Lilly looked into her mothers eyes as if she could find the answers in it.

"Honey you are a really smart girl but there are some things in life that you don't have to understand jet. There's enough time for you to learn about these things." She didn't know what to say to the girl. Lilian was smarter than the other kids her age, her mother had to learn that soon after the girl entered kindergarden but she wasn't sure if it was the right thing to explain death to a four year old.

"Okay but you explain to me later?"

"Of course I will. Now how about that book we started earlier, do you want to finish it?" She was glad, that she got away with it so easy this time but she also knew that her little daughter would soon ask more questions.

"Yeah." And with that the cheerfull Lilly was back.
