Hello, everyone!

I am quite a fan of Felicity's form in Malory Towers. Here's a story of their reunion.

Hope you like it! Please leave your comments for me, and PM me if you have any story ideas that I could work on.

Enjoy!

"Looks like the sun has decided to show itself today." Felicity Rivers said to her best friend, Susan Blake.

"And quite right that it should." Susan agreed, "What with us heading back to Malory Towers today for the reunion, this day is all about brightness."

"Exactly." Felicity smiled, parking the car at the train station, "I'm ever so excited. I feel like a little schoolgirl again. We've only taken the train to school once, right, Susan? Fourth form."

"Yes. Heavens, I do feel old, though we're only 23!"

Felicity laughed as they got out of the car. The drive to Cornwall would have been far to long for Felicity to drive, so she and Susan had decided that it was best to take the train. She thought back to the time when she, Susan and all their friends were in the sixth form, and had had the shock of their lives when they saw several of the school's old pupils loitering about the corridors. These old girls included Felicity's sister, Darrell.

Darrell and her friends had all returned for a reunion at Malory Towers. Felicity had thought it a grand idea, and a few weeks ago, she had written to all her old school friends, suggesting a reunion of their own.

Of course, they had all responded immediately, delighted at the idea. It had been completely arranged with Miss Grayling. They were to be using the fourth form's rooms for their 3-day stay, as the fourth formers had gone camping.

"I can hardly wait." Susan said, with a wide smile, "It will be grand to see the others again, though we've all kept in touch. Is anyone else taking the train?"

"Yes, Nora is." Felicity said.

As Felicity and Susan boarded the train and searched for an empty compartment, they heard a familiar voice calling out to them.

"Felicity! Susan! Goodness, it's been a while!"

The two friends whirled around, their faces lighting up as they saw the young woman approaching them, with a shock of golden hair and wide, blue eyes.

"Nora!" Susan cried, dropping her bags and enveloping her friend in a hug, which Felicity soon joined, "It's simply wonderful to see you again, old girl! Don't you look neat and grown up."

Nora laughed, "Ooh, I knew you'd say that. How are you both? Come on, pick up your bags and let's find a compartment. Then we can share our news."

That was exactly what they ended up doing, and once they were comfortably seated and the train departed, Susan said, "I feel rather nostalgic. Though I didn't take the train to school often as a youngster."

"Then imagine how I'm feeling." Nora said with her sunny grin, "I was a regular on the train. So, all that aside, how are both of you doing? We exchange letters regularly, but when I see you in person, I feel as if we've hardly spoken at all! It's mad that the last time we saw each other, we were sixth formers. And now Daffy Hope is in the sixth!"

"I do agree. I feel old. I saw the Hopes during the hols, and Daffy has grown into a fine young lady, though still with a rather naughty streak. Like June was in the sixth form." Felicity said, "Anyways, I'm doing well, as you know. I'm working in the local doctor's office as an intern. Once my internship is complete, I'll be able to pursue my next college degree, which will give me the title of Doctor. After which I can start work in the hospital. It will take a good few years, but I can hardly wait."

"Same for me, though I am not heading back to college. I'm training to be a nurse. After a few more months, my training will be complete and I can start working in the hospital." Susan told Nora.

"Marvelous! That's wonderful news. I'm doing quite well, too. I've just started training in a dance troupe, girls, and I'm to be going on tour with my troupe soon, to perform at large venues. We might even travel to America!" Nora said.

"Oh, how brilliant! I'm pleased for you!" Felicity said, and Susan added her word as well.

"Enough about me." Nora laughed, "Are all the others coming? I'm so excited, this reunion is going to be simply superb. I've missed you all, and of course, good old Malory Towers."

"Same here. Of course, here's one member of our group who wouldn't have missed Malory Towers at all!" Susan said with a grin, "Pam! I was delighted when she sent word that she's a teacher there for English. She's always had a flair for English, and connecting with youngsters. I suppose you hear from her often, Nora?"

"Of course. She's been to visit me during all the holidays, as well. How about the others? My word, were you watching the Lacrosse Cup on the telly last month?" Nora asked, "I'm sure everyone was, and I couldn't stop cheering when England came out victorious. I was so proud of June."

"Of course we watched it!" Felicity said, "Me and my parents and Darrell and the Hopes and Susan's family all saw it together. June scored the winning goal at the last minute. She was magnificent, and we were ever so proud."

"I thought she wanted to train to be a games teacher?" Nora said thoughtfully.

"She is still planning to do so. She just wanted to get some experience, playing sports as a career, before training for becoming a teacher." Susan explained, "A jolly smart decision."

"Yes." Felicity agreed, "She's to play in Wimbledon soon."

"Gracious, she never mentioned that to me in her letters! I shall congratulate her when I see her." Nora said, "She lives in London, doesn't she? It'll be quite a drive."

"Freddie lives in London, too, just 10 minutes away from June. She's studying to be an architect. They'll be coming together, taking turns with the driving. Julie and Lucy will be arriving on horseback, I'm sure." Susan said, "And Amy and Bonnie are coming by car, too. They don't live too far. Their shop is doing very well."

The girls chatted for some more time, talking about their families, life and work, and their excitement to be returning to school for a few days.

After a few hours, the train pulled to a stop, and the three young women picked up their bags and walked onto the platform, spotting a carriage for going back to school.

They were mostly silent on the way back, but when they rounded the bend to Malory Towers, and they caught the famous glimpse of their lovely old school, they choked up.

"There it is!" Felicity whispered, "Doesn't it look so lovely and welcoming? Oh, girls, it's grand to be back!"
