It was senior year Regan, Nathan and Mac were graduating this year. It had been two years since that fucked up year. It took some time but eventually Harmony forgave Jimmy. Regan, Andrew and Jimmy have been sober now for two years. Peyton's scars were getting lighter and thanks to Jimmy she talked to her parents who got her professional help. Nathan and Harmony were still dating.
"Mac, get out of the bathroom" said Harmony
"Gosh this seems familiar" said Whatsername
"Hey baby" said Jimmy who walked up to Harmony and hugged her
"Hey dad" she said
"Help" said Mac from the bathroom
"Why?" asked Harmony worried. Just then the door opened and Mac ran out
"Spider" he said
"A spider, really" said Johnny who walked in
"It was huge"
"Maybe it will bight you and you'll get magical powers" said Harmony who walked into the bathroom and closed the door
At the Clarke house Christina was making breakfast. Andrew had been living with them now since he showed up at the house. He and Regan were dating but since he was twenty-six and she was now seventeen he was waiting for her eighteenth birthday to do it with her.
"Did anyone get the mail?" asked Regan
"It hasn't come yet" said Andrew
"I mean yesterday"
"I think so why what are you expecting?" asked Tunny
"Just a letter" she said
At the Esper house things were going smoother then two years ago
"Hey baby" said Will to Heather
"Hey can you go see if Julia's up?" she asked
"Sure can" and he went into the baby's room. She was waking up and smiled at Will
"Hey baby girl" Will picked her up and brought her to the closet "What do you want to wear today huh? This pretty dress?" Julia giggled "Yeah you like that? Okay, let's get you dressed"
"Mom, were is my dress?" asked Peyton
"In the laundry basket" said Heather
"I graduate this year" said Nathan who ran in smiling "Oh glorious day" he hugged Peyton and his mother. Just then Will came out with Julia and Nathan kissed her "Hello baby sister"
The kids all walked to school
"Our first day of grade 12" said Mac
"Are you guys ready? This year is going to go by so fast" said Regan
"Ha, unless it's two years ago" Peyton said
"Oh please, don't even go there" said Harmony Nathan held her hand
That day Regan came home and got the mail. She was looking for a letter when she came across a letter from the military. She walked in the house and was greeted by a kiss from Andrew
"Hi" he said
"Hey you" she said
"Why so jumpy? Regan, you're not using again are you?"
"What? no, there's a letter from the military"
"I'm not fallowing" he said she opened the letter and read it. Then she stormed into her room with the letter
"Uh huh" Andrew said confused
Will sat on the couch with Julia, and he played peek-a-boo. When he removed his hands from his face he screamed and so did Peyton who was now holding Julia
"Jesus, Peyton you scared me" he said
"You? What about me?" she said
"Sorry, I wasn't expecting you. How was school today?"
"It was alright. Grade 11 looks like it's going to be hard"
"Yeah" said Julia and Peyton laughed
"See, even this one knows" she said
"I'm sure by the middle of the year things will calm down"
"You really were bad at school weren't you?" Peyton asked her father
"Yes, I was" he said taking Julia from her
Harmony sat in her room, reading her diary she found from when she was little. She laughed at parts when she said she had a crush on Nathan. Then out fell a picture and she picked it up. it was of her, Mac and Dean. She smiled at the picture, it was of the summer before all hell broke lose. Just then Mac walked in
"Hey what have you got there?" he asked
"Just this photo of us" she showed him and he smiled
"That was a great summer. Minus that little accident"
"Little? Mac I fell off the monkey bars and nearly cracked my head open"
"Almost but Dean caught you and all you got was a mild concussion"
"He was great for that stuff" she said
"I was the brains, he was the muscle" Mac said
"I miss him so much" Mac grew quite
"Mac, What happened that night?"
"I'm not to sure. It's all kind of rusty" Harmony put her arm around him
Tunny came home and found Andrew about to leave for work
"I have to ask, isn't it hard for you to work at a bar after everything that's happened?" Tunny asked
"Sort of, but I also get to hear peoples stories and help sometimes so it's worth it in the end" Andrew answered
"Sounds good" Tunny knocked on Regan's door. "Regan?" She opened the door with tears in her eyes "baby what is it?" she handed him the letter. "why would you open something that wasn't yours?"
"Are you going to go back?" she asked
"I-I uh don't know" he said "I have to think about this"
"Would you consider it? Dad, you know how I feel about war"
"I know you hate it, but they want me back"
"But, I need you here"
"I'm going to talk it over with your mom"
The next day all the kids sat at lunch talking
"Well, is your dad going to do it?" asked Nathan
"I hope not" said Regan
"So what are we going to do with this school project?" asked Mac
"Well, they said split up in groups of 5 or 6" said Harmony
"The story of our life?" question Peyton
"At least they didn't ask us two years ago" said Mac
"Well, it will be us 5 and our sad, sad lives" said Nathan
"Hey, some parts aren't all that sad" said Harmony
"Uh, okay" Regan said
"Hey, I'm sure your dad wont do it" reassured Peyton
"Also, who we are. This is a get in touch with your soul project" said Mac
"We might as well get naked in front of the school" said Regan
