PrologueFall of 1983Moira Lane was new to Star City and was dreading her first day of college at Star City University. If only her stubborn and obnoxious brother Sam didn't get deported from Canada and caused her family to move to Star City. The city was absolutely beautiful though but it was time to take that long trek to the 8th floor for an Algebra Class first thing Monday morning. "Ugh", she hated Math.

She was dressed casually in a green camisole, a blue cardigan and a pair of denim jeans. Fairly presentable. She sidestepped the haugthy and too nerdy students because she had absolutely no intention of falling into either category. Whilst dodging she clumsily bumped into a lean muscular chest with an "oomph". As she raked her eyes up she nearly had an heart attack he was devilishly handsome. Handsome probably being an understatement. He was tall, with coffee coloured brown eyes, spiky blond hair, perky ears and a dimpled chin. She was instantaneously enchanted by him but she knew who he was, the stellar renowned playboy Robert Queen soon to be heir of Queen Industries and she was not going down that road. So she hastily said sorry and took off with no intentions of being another notch on Robert's bedpost or anywhere on his radar.

Little did she know life had other plans. As it turned out he had that same Algebra class and the only seat available was next to his. She grudgingly sat next to him and gave him a chance after about 5 failed conversation starters.

He was surprisingly easy to talk too despite his reputation and they became fast friends. Speculations began to surface about the new girl and the quarterback billionaire playboy but it quickly dispelled when the duo met the gorgeous Laura Cole. Although she was beautiful and head cheerleader she had a down to earth personality. Everybody liked her and she fit into the dynamic duo with ease and they were soon dubbed the "three musketeers".

Although it was a trio it felt like a duo after a while. You had to have been blind to not see the sparks between Laura and Robert. Moira didn't mind because they would make an attractive pair, two golden tanned blonds. All she had for Robert was a fleeting crush and although they tried for something more at the beginning of their friendship they soon decided that it wouldn't work and their friendship was too new and fragile already to undergo such a sudden transistion. They were way better off as best friends.

The communication started drifting between the three friends but it appeared that neither Robert nor Laura noticed since they were in their own world wind romance. Then just as suddenly Moira's mom died and Sam started distancing himself since he became a 4 star general for the United States of America. Robert and Laura were there to comfort her but it still felt lopsided because they were preoccupied with their own love story.

Star City was losing its unique and charming appeal so she figured it was best move to Metropolis. It wasn't Star City but it held its own. She got a job as an environmentalist for the Swann's Empire spearheaded by the CEO and doctor himself. Whilst working there she applied at Met U part time to complete her degree in Environmental Science. Like Robert, she bumped into Gabe, a modest goofy Luthorcorp worker a Wednesday night. He was kind and she grew to love him. Her mom always told her she grew to love her father and when its right it would fall into place.

She was right of course. Gabe and her got engaged after 6 months of dating and she couldnt have been happier. Her contact with her two friends was minimal at best then but she was informed that they were engaged too. Five months later she saw that they were expecting and she was too. It so happened that they were both having boys. Oliver Jonas Queen was born October 11th, 1989 at roughly 02:00 am and Moira called to offer her congratulations when not even half way through the catch up session she was in labour and at exactly 12:35 pm came Christopher Conner Sullivan.

Life continued as it should for both the Sullivans and Queens. Five years later the Sullivans brought into the world their beautiful beloved Chloe Anne Sullivan. The three were destined to travel a path together in the past and now they would see how destinies are intertwined for their children.
