She wasn't sure what to expect honestly. Oliver's sister had been missing for years and to just show up six years after going missing was just remarkable. Oliver said she wouldn't talk about it. She finished putting on her make up and wondered again whether she should even go. She had never met Sara. She had met Oliver two years after Sara disappeared. Which brought up the question of why she was even invited to the whole welcome home dinner. Tommy was going sure but he had known Sara her entire life. It was like he lost a sister when she disappeared as well. Thea called her two hours ago to make sure she was coming. She pretty much guilt tripped Felicity into showing up. She was crying and told Felicity that she needed her for support. That while Sara was her sister she had grown close enough to Felicity to count her as one as well and she really needed her. That was all it took and Felicity stopped fighting it. She grabbed her keys, checked her apartment one last time and then shut the door.

She had barely arrived and parked her Mini Cooper when Thea came running down the stairs. She was ran straight into Felicity's arms and started crying. Felicity just stood there and comforted her, rubbing her back until she settled down. When She pulled away she wiped her face and smiled at Felicity.

"I'm so glad you came. I really need you tonight." Felicity just chuckled and pulled Thea into another hug. She had met Thea shortly after becoming friends with Oliver and Tommy. Thea had at first been very jealous of Felicity because Oliver and Tommy spent so much time with Felicity and not with her. It was when she needed to talk to someone about boys that she approached Felicity and they became extremely close. Felicity was an only child but she always felt like her and Thea had a sisterly bond.

"I'll always be here for you Speedy." Thea rolled her eyes

"I really wish you guys would all stop calling me that. Sara was only home ten seconds before she called me that. I was upset at first because only you and the boys call me that but then I remembered she used to too." Felicity put her arm around Thea's shoulder as they began to walk towards the house.

"Well you know its going to be an adjustment but you have to give her a chance Thea. She never stopped loving you just because she was missing. You just didn't get to see it everyday like you did with Oliver."

Thea smiled, "And you and Tommy. Its just I remember her I just don't have too many memories of her. She's like a year older than you and she was always getting into trouble and rebelling. Not like Ollie rebeling but more moody and reclusive. She locked herself in her room a lot. I mean she was eighteen when she went missing and at first I think mom and dad thought she just ran away. It was Ollie that finally talked them into reporting her missing. They were close, like really close and he hadn't heard from her in a week and she always called him everyday. I remember one time mom and dad sent to our grandparents for the summer and her and Ollie got into this huge fight before she left. She still called him everyday. She would literally just tell him she was mad at him and then stay on the phone not saying anything for like ten minutes and then she would tell Ollie she loved him and he was the best brother a girl could ask for and then hang up."

"Well she sounds like she would have been a good big sister if she had been given the chance. You have to give her a chance Thea." They had made it into the house by this point and Felicity was hanging her coat and purse when Oliver came down the stairs laughing with Tommy.

"Felicity you made it. Good to see you." Oliver said as he walked up and hugged her. She returned his hug and then hugged Tommy when she saw who she assumed was Sara walk up behind them.

"So this is the very popular and very allusive Felicity Smoak." Tommy let her go and Oliver put his arm aroung Felicity's shoulder.

"Felicity Smoak, this is Sara." Felicity smiled and stepped forward.

"Its nice to meet you Sara. I'm really glad you're back. I mean I didn't know you before. I'm sure you were awesome. Not saying you aren't awesome now. I mean what would I know I'm just meeting you." Felicity face was flushed red by the end of her little babble but when she met Sara's eyes she noticed they were smiling.

"You're cute, and thank you. Its nice to meet you finally. Seems like everyone in this house loves you. You must be pretty awesome yourself." Felicity just smiled. Moira came around the corner,

"Oh good Felicity you made it." She hugged Felicity, "Dinner is just about ready to me served if everyone wants to go ahead into the dining room." Every one began walking towards the dining room when suddenly Felicity felt someone gently grab her arm.

"I know you don't know me and that we just met but are you dating my brother?" The question stunned Felicity for a moment but then she shook her head as if to clear her mind and for the first time really looked at Sara. Her body was rigid and while she was trying to play off cool and causal Felicity could tell she was uncomfortable. She could also see the spark of protection and stubborness in her eyes.

Felicity just smiled, "No Sara I'm not dating your brother, nor have I ever dated your brother. We are just friends. Platonic friends. Like really Platonic friends." Sara arched an eyebrow, "You two seem pretty close to me. Unusually close." Felicity looked around and then took a step towards Sara.

"Sara, what exactly have they told you about me?"

Sara crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Thea told me you two were really close. She said you are her go to person. Mom and Walter rave about how brillant you are and how you are by far the best IT person they have at QC. Oliver talks about how you saved him and picked up the pieces after I disappeared. How you tutored him and Tommy and they both graduated because of you. He also said you're his best friend. When I left Tommy was his best friend."

Felicity sighed, "Tommy is still is best friend, you can have more than one you know." Sara just stood there waiting, "Oliver and I meet my freshman year of college. I worked at a coffee shop and he and Tommy were regulars. Once they learned I was a genuisis they asked me to tutor them so I did. Eventually we all became friends and Oliver started opening up more to me. I think he just needed someone who wasn't involved to talk to. Some one who didn't know you. He hated trying to talk to others about you because it made them sad, so yeah he came to me and I listened and I comforted him but Sara I'm gay. Oliver and Tommy have known that from the beginning. Hell at this point every one knows simple because they kept trying to hook me up with either your brother or Tommy." Sara nodded and half grinned at Felicity with the corner of her mouth. "Oliver does that too you know. That half grin. It usually means he understands and hes trying to be a part of it but really he's got something else on his mind. I got that grin a lot when I first met him. Any time he talked about you and I'd try to cheer him up. He loves you. He even had me hack into some very illegal databases once he found out I could. Thea loves you too..."

Sara scoffed, "Thea acts like I came back with the plague."

Felicity placed her hand on Sara's crossed arms, "She doesn't remember you very well Sara. She was young when you went missing. She was just a kid and the whole situation confused her. She doesn't know you and she feels horrible because everyone else have these special memories with you and she doesn't."

Sara stepped away from Felicity, "I was just a kid too you know." Then she turned and walked towards the dining room leaving Felicity stunned and with her hand still up in the air.
