Mylène Haprèle life was great. She and her father have beeb actinv side by side ever since she graduated from high school. But when it comes to acting, it can be a little stressful. But luckily she got her break! Her ten year high school reunion was tonight. She pulled her blonde hair up in a bun. She wore a black skirt, blue tank top and a black cardigan. As she entered the gym she saw many familiar faces like Kim and Max.

"Mylène? Is that you?" Mylène heard. She turned around and smiled. A woman in a red dress with black jewelry and medium blue length hair smiled at her. Next to her a woman in a orange dress with matching white heels, diamond necklace and earrings with long brown hair.

"Marionette, Alya! Hi!" Mylène said with a smile. The three women hug and laugh. "It's so good to see you two! How've you guys been?" Mylène asked.

"The News station is crazy. But I'm ok because Nino and I are expecting in 9 months." Alya said as she rubbed her stomach. Mylène smiled and congratulated her.

"Adrian and I are engaged! And getting fashion tips from Adrian's father himself? My life is amazing! How about you? Any man in your life?" Marionette asked.

"Acting is great! I've sold two shows out! And no, I'm still single." Mylène said as she held up her hand. Marionette smiled and soon looked behind Mylène. Her eyes grew wide. Ayla looked at Marionette and soon gasped as she saw what or who Marionette was looking at.

"Woah! Is that..." Alya started.

"Ivan Bruel?" Marionette finished as she pointed. Mylène turned and her eyes nearly fell out of her head. A man in an Army uniform walked inside the school. The stranger took off his beret and smiled. He had very light blue eyes, a nice smile and freckles sprinkled over his nose.

"Ivan? Is that you man?" Nino asked. The stranger smiled at Nino happily.

"Hey Nino! Long time no see!" Ivan's voice boomed. The two shook hands and soon the guys went over to Ivan.

"Girl! You should go say hi!" Alya said as she pushed Mylène forward.

"What?! No!" Mylène said hurriedly.

"Come on Mylène, it's just Ivan. Besides! I think he still has feelings for you!" Marionette said. Mylène flushed lightly and looked at Ivan. He was laughing with Kim and the other guys. He soon looked over and made eye contact with Mylène. His eyes grew and he smiled. Marionette smiled as Mylène flushed red.

"Girl! Are you shy?" Alya asked. Mylène turned her attention back to the other two women. She slowly swallowed as she opened her mouth.

"Good evening ladies." A voice said. Mylène jumped to the deep rich, voice.

"Oh! Hi Ivan!" Marionette said.

"Hello Marionette! Alya, congrats on the baby." Ivan said. Alya thanked him.

"I'm going to go get a drink of punch! Marionette will you join me?" Alya asked as she yanked Marionette's hand. The two ladies soon walked away.

"H-hello Mylène." Ivan stuttered. Myléne's eyes grew and she smiled softly. He was still shy around her! Mylène turned around and faced Ivan.

"Good evening Ivan." She said. Ivan flushed brightly and he cleared his throat. Mylène giggled at his blushing. She smiled and held out her hand for Ivan to shake. Ivan grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips. Mylène flushed bright crimson red as she felt his lips touch her skin.

"You look beautiful tonight." He smiled calmly.

"T-thank you. So uh...how's life been treating you?" She asked. Ivan smiled at her.

"The service is great. Got a good job, a good home." He said. Mylène nodded. "How about you? How's life going for you?" He asked. Mylène sighed dreamily.

"Its amazing! I've accomplished my dream of becoming an actress!" Mylène smiled.

"That's amazing! I've heard your shows are sold out." Ivan said. Mylène nodded excitedly. "Well, I-".

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I just want to start by saying how good it is to see so many familiar faces again. It's amazing how easy it is to lose touch with people when you refuse to join Facebook," Rose said through the microphone. Everyone laughed.

"I think tonight is one of those events many people have been either dreading or looking forward to for a long time now. It's kind of a milestone for a lot of people, a checkpoint of sorts to see where they are in their lives compared to where they thought they'd be. And there's a bit of inherent anticipation that comes with an occasion like tonight's. People have been wondering things like, where has everyone lived? What have they been doing with their lives? What do they look like? Who are they with?" She continued.

I wonder if Ivan is seeing anyone? Mylène thought.

"Maybe you made millions, maybe you just made good friends, maybe you set sail for the other side of the world, or maybe you anchored your life here in Paris. I guess what I'm getting at is that no matter where you've gone or what you've done, my hope is that each of you have lived your life in your own way, and that over the past ten years, living that life makes you feel happy and successful. So talk to your fellow classmates about their lives tonight. Listen to their stories and find out the answers to those burning questions. Thank you!"

Everyone sat down and Mylène found Marionette and Alya along with their husbands.

"May I join you?" She asked.

"Of course! And you too Ivan!" Nino smiled. Mylène took a seat and Ivan smiled.

"Thank you Nino, I'll join you if all the ladies are ok with it." Ivan said.

"Of course Ivan!" Marionette said. Alya agreed.

"Mylène?" Ivan said. Mylène smiled.

"Of course! We all have some catching up to do!" Mylène said. Ivan took a seat next to Nino and Mylène. They all talked, laughed, joked, and exchanged stories.

"So Ivan," Marionette said. Ivan looked at her and smiled. "Are you seeing anybody?" She asked. Mylène choked on her water. Alya nearly giggled at the question.

"The answer to that question is no. I've been single ever since I joined the service." Ivan answered.

"No way man! Look at you!" Adrian exclaimed.

Mylène looked at Ivan closely for the first time in the night. He was in good shape and his blue eyes were bright. His hair was in a nice cut fit for his regulation, and his smile was bright. He was the definition of a handsome man.

"I'll be honest. I haven't been on a date in ten years." Ivan said.

"Why not?" Mylène was surprised to hear her own voice. Ivan looked at Mylène and smiled sadly.

"Because a special girl stole my heart ten years ago." Ivan said. Mylène mouth made an O shape. The night went on and soon the reunion ended. Everyone left the gym and Mylène sighed. She was outside looking for her ride.

"My taxi isn't here." She said as she looked at her watch. Ivan walked up placed a hand on her shoulder. She jumped a little but relaxed.

"I'll wait with you." He said.

"Oh I possibly couldn't have you do that!" Mylène said.

"My pleasure." He said. Mylène smiled and stood next to Ivan. A short time passed and soon the cab pulled up. The two walked over and Ivan opened the door.

"Madame!" He joked as he took a dramatic bow. Mylène laughed at the act. She then returned the bow.

"Why thank you Monsieur!" She said with a giggle. Mylène stepped inside and Ivan made sure she was secured in. "Ivan what are you doing?" She asked. Ivan looked at her and smiled.

"Just making sure your secured in, that's all." He said with a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Thank you." Mylène smiled. Mylène placed her hand on Ivan's cheek and brought his face close to her. She then ever so lightly placed a peck on his cheek. Ivan blushed harder and he shut Myléne's door. The cab pulled away and drove off. Soon the cab came to a stop and Mylène stepped out. She gasped as she saw many emergency vehicles surrounding her apartment. She ran up to a police officer.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Black poisionous mold. Did you live in the building?" The officer asked.

"Yes." Mylène answered.

"I suggested then you ask a friend to stay with them for a while." The officer said.

"For how long?" Mylène asked.

"A month, maybe two." The officer said.

"What?!" Mylène exclaimed.

"Madame please. I need to do my job." The officer said. Mylène sighed and she walked away. Mylène walked around the block and into a café. She sat down at a table and dialed Marionette.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mari! It's me! Listen, my apartment building is having residents move for a little bit due to a mold. I was wondering if I could stay with you?" Mylène asked.

"Oh Mylène I'm so sorry! But Adrian and I are flying out tomorrow night. I'm really sorry!" Marionette apologized.

"No! No! It's ok! I can ask someone else!" Mylène said. The two talked and soon hung up. Mylène asked Rose, Alix, Juleka, and everyone in her contacts. All except one.
