I am re-writing Probably Proscrastinating's fanfiction: Old Faces, New Beginnings. The first couple of chapters are going to be the same, but with some differences coming into show later on in the fanfiction. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Also by the way, everything has happened as it has on screen :)

Michael had been staring at the unopened crisp white envelope he held in his hands for the best part of 10 minutes. His fingers fiddling with the edges, folding over the corners. The letter was from the LEA. He could tell from the addressing label. The last time the LEA had wrote to him unexpectedly, it was to inform him of the closing of Waterloo Road. And Michael didn't want to read anything like that again. He pondered whether to open it or not for a couple more minutes, then suddenly ripped it open and tarred out the folded A4 sheet of paper. As his eyes skimmed the lines of text, a smile spread across Michaels face. It was a smile of relief, happiness, excitement, but most of all surprise.

'Dear Mr. M. Byrne of Waterloo Road,

We are writing to you on the terms that Waterloo Road is currently in it's 50th year as an officially recognised school, and therefore, we are sending you the sum of £20,000 to spend on whatever you wish within the school. This can be for a party, function, equipment, staff training, whatever you feel necessary. The money should be within you in the next 4-6 working days.'

Is how the letter began, all that followed was about banking and money transfer details. Michael couldn't believe his eyes. £20,000 to spend on whatever they wanted in the school? 50 Years of Waterloo Road? Wow. Was all Michael could say.

He thought for a moment, about his fears of opening the letter, the closing of Waterloo Road in Rochdale had destroyed and hurt so many people's lives, pupils and staff. He thought about his old colleagues and students. Yes some of them were able to join them in their adventure up north, however, for others it was simply impossible. So he decided. The £20,000 received from the LEA would be used to help transport , accommodate and put on a great day for all the past and present children and adults of Waterloo Road.

After costing up coaches, and food, and drinks and anything else the day would require, Michael set in search of Tom, for he had some burning questions to ask him.

'Tom?' he said, seeing Tom wandering down the corridor,

'Hi, Michael,'

'Look, Can you come to my office please?'

'Erm, sure'

And with that the two men headed to the office to discuss some very important business…

Michael laid out thirteen sheets of paper in front of Tom, all stapled together, it was a list of all the ex pupils and staff of Rochdale Waterloo Road.

After Michael had explained his plans following the LEA letter, he went on to ask Tom:

'These are the only ones still on record, I mean, there must be loads more. I was wondering, can you write down a list of all the staff and students and any contact details at all you can remember from them?'

'What all of them?'

'As many as you can,'

'To be honest Michael, The only ones who I really know well are from years ago,'

'That's not a problem,'

'But you'll never have met them?'

'That's not the point, its bringing everyone together, it doesn't matter when they attended or taught at Waterloo Road, get their names written down and I shall put the wheels in motion.'

'Whatever you say!' said Tom, now smiling at the prospect of Chlo and Mika coming up to join him for a day. These were not the only names Tom scribbled down onto his list. As he wrote down everyone he had encountered at the school which held so many memories.

The list began:

Chlo Charles

Donte Charles

Mika Grainger

Brett Aspinall

Matt Wilding
