Title of Story: Second Chance in Disguise-Prologue & Chapter 1
Author's Penname: Alyssa Smith
E-mail: Just send me a review.
Author's Note about Summary: This has several plots I've seen used and I am attempting to mush it (in a good way) into one huge plot. Therefore, it is a lot easier for me to just tell you about the plots in summary
Summary: Plot #1: Years after Jamie dies, a girl is in pursuit of Landon. Will he accept, or resist? Plot #2: Landon gets a chance to redo his behavior starting from when he tries to ask for Jamie's help.
Plot #3: This one is a surprise.
Author's Note: I am not particularly new to fanfic writing. I wrote a couple for other movies/TV shows. This, is however my first attempt at writing a fanfic for "A Walk to Remember" and is based on the movie, not the book because I haven't read it yet. Please don't be scared off by the rather awkward prologue. It is essential to the story however so please read it first. We get to Landon in Chapter 1. Anything in 'these' is 'the character's thoughts'. For ex: Jane looked at the sky. 'It sure is pretty'.
Disclaimer: I am not the owner of or in any way associated with A Walk to Remember. This story of fiction has been created purely for the enjoyment of readers. I am in no way making any profit.
Prologue"Wish Denied. Next!" the young monarch said. She had no human name, but so much power over the lives of others.
"Hello, your highness" said the redhead, who had presently entered the room, with a curtsy.
"Ah, Tera, my favorite worker. What can I do for you?" the monarch replied.
"I mean no disrespect. But, I mean to ask you to reconsider a decision you made. As you know, sometimes due to certain occurrences, sometimes a decision made at one moment isn't executed quick enough and time causes an erro…." Tera said.
"Cut to the chase, Tera. You know I don't like people taking up my time," the monarch interrupted.
"Yes, your highness. I have come to beg the rethinking of your decision of Jamie Sullivan," Tera spit out.
"Jamie Sullivan? Hmmmm, Jackyln! Get me info on this Jamie Sullivan," the monarch said.
"So, will you do it?" Tera inquired.
"I will look into it. Is that all?" the monarch replied.
"Yes and thank you," Tera said gratefully.
"Your welcome. Dismissed." the monarch said.

"Please don't leave me grandpa," the child said.
"It is time for me to go," the grandfather replied.
"Don't leave me," the child cried out. Out of the shadows, another figure appeared. She seemed to be a spirit from her unearthly appearance. No one took any notice of her. She approached the child and grandfather.
"Your time is up, Thamadeus," she hissed. She put her hand up as if to blow a kiss and sucked air in. A wispy substance of smoke rose from the grandfather and onto the figure's hand. It gathered up and she blew it into a jar.
"I'm so sorry. Goodbye," the grandfather managed to gasp out to his granddaughter as the figure sucked up all that was left of the smoky substance.
"No! Grandfather Thamadeus, don't leave. Please, don't leave. No, don't," the child said to the dead grandfather.
"It was his time to die," the figure whispered but she knew it was no use. The child couldn't hear her. She waved her hand in a circle and a portal opened up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Monarch's lair, the figure appeared. "You called me, master?"
"Yes. Tera came in earlier today. She has convinced me to look into the case of Jamie Sullivan. Jacklyn has already filled me in on the history and I have decided a plan to see if Tera's assumptions were correct. Tell me. How good are your acting skills?"

Chapter 1"Hey Landon! Wait up!" a girl with golden blonde hair said as she ran after her classmate. Landon stopped and turned around to see who was calling him.
"Oh, hey Selena," Landon said when she caught up to him.
"Wow, wasn't that final hard? I nearly died from the pressure! But, there's the party tonight so that will give me a chance to recover from the stress. Are you coming?" Selena asked.
"The final was tough. Ummm, I'm not really sure if I'm coming to the party. I haven't really thought about it," Landon replied.
"Oh come on. It'll be fun! Everybody is going to be here. You can bring your girlfriend," Selena said. 'Oh I sure hope I'm wrong about him having a girlfriend. But, why else would he be wearing that ring on his finger? It doesn't seem like he's married. I've been to his house and I've asked my friends and we've never seen a wife'.
"I don't have a girlfriend," Landon replied. He could tell Selena had a type of crush on him. But he didn't feel like moving on and he probably never would. Not after Jamie.
"Well, since you don't have a girlfriend, what is that ring for?" Selena asked curiously.
"That's my wedding ring," Landon replied bluntly. He didn't really feel like talking about it.
"You're married? What's your wife's name? How come I don't see her when I come over?" Selena inquired. 'He is married. Too bad. Well, even though you like him, Selena, it wouldn't be a very good idea to break up a marriage.'
"Yes, I'm married. Her name is Jamie Sullivan. And you don't see her because she died 6 years ago from leukemia," Landon said. 'I got to get out of here. I can't stand talking about Jamie'
"Oh, I'm sorry. But it's been 6 years. Maybe you should move on," Selena said. 'So he doesn't have a living wife. Wait, he was married at 18? Must've been some slut then. Well, looking at it this way, he probably didn't love her very much. He probably just felt bad about the whole leukemia thing and that's why he hasn't started dating. Hmmm, now I just have to convince him to start dating again. To start dating me.'
"No, I'll never move on. I loved her!" Landon said noticing the volume of his voice rising. "Look, I can't talk about this. I'll see you later. Bye," Landon said more quietly and he walked off in a different direction.
'Maybe I brought up the moving on thing a little too quickly. Time for a new plan' Selena thought.
Coming on July 22, 2002: Chapter 2+
