Title: But I Believe

Disclaimer: I do not own Sydney or Vaughn, they belong to J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot, but I do own Anastasia and any other characters you don't recognize. And if you want to be technical, I don't even own the name Anastasia, that one goes to Jen (LittleSyd) because she gave me this suggestion for a name.
Rating: PG-13 I guess
Spoilers: Through Double Agent I guess (the spy!sex part only) - definitely AU - doesn't follow along with the show
Pairings: Anastasia/Tucker and some more later on - but for the first two or three chapters just them...and of course an obvious couple a few chapters in
Summary: Sydney and Vaughn are divorced with a daughter. When she goes to the prom with her older boyfriend and something tragic happens, will it bring them together once again?
Author's Note: Another story, don't know what I'm getting myself into, but this idea just sort of came to me last night, actually two ideas came to me and I had to push the other one aside.
Please read and review

Dedication: This one to goes out to my stalkers and fellow members of the Zack Attack Pack, you all know who you are, and you're the best!!

Chapter 1
15-year-old Anastasia Elizabeth Vaughn walked into the decorated ballroom on the arm of her 17-year-old boyfriend Tucker Riley.
As a freshman she had been very surprised when Tucker picked her out of the crowd at the Homecoming Dance and asked her out.
Being one of the few freshman invited to the junior prom, she was amazed as she walked in and saw all the lights and decorations.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Tucker murmured in her ear, and when she nodded, he added, "Just like someone else I know."
She smiled and kissed him. "You don't look so bad yourself," she told him.
A man approached them and asked, "Would you like your picture taken?"
They looked at each other and came to a silent agreement. "No, that's okay, we've had enough pictures taken tonight," they both replied together.
The man nodded and walked away.
They had been telling the truth, between Anastasia's mother, her father, and then Tucker's parents, there had been at least 50 pictures taken of them, and most definitely more.
A slow song started to play. "Dance with me?" Tucker asked her, giving her his hand.
"Gladly," she replied, taking his hand as he lead her out to the dance floor.
The soft melodies of Savage Garden's 'I Knew I Loved You' began to pour from the speakers as Anastasia and Tucker gently swayed to the music.
'Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe'
Anastasia's head found Tucker's shoulder, as she relaxed into the song.
She danced there with her boyfriend of 7 months in the most beautiful and romantic setting she had ever seen.
'I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life'
"Anastasia?" Tucker asked in her ear, completely lost in the moment.
"Hmm?" she questioned.
"I love you."
'There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe'
Her head perked up at those three words and she stared into his chocolate brown eyes with her own intense green ones.
"Anastasia?" he asked. "Did you hear me?"
She blinked once and nodded.
'I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life'
He stiffened when she informed him that she heard and he didn't hear anything back.
He took his arms from around her and began to back away before he turned around and started to walk towards the door.
"Tucker, wait!" Anastasia screamed to his retreating form.
He turned back around and looked at her. "Why?" he asked, "What do you want?"
'A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life'
"Huh?" he questioned, still standing about ten feet away from her. "What do you want?"
"I love you too," Anastasia told him confidently, waiting for his reaction.
"What did you just say?" he asked her, tentatively starting back towards her.
"I said I love you too," she said, hoping he would hold her again.
"Really?" he questioned.
"Yes, really," she replied before he reached her and pulled her into a passionate kiss that quickly turned into a full-fledged make-out session.
"God, Anastasia, I love you so much," he told her, the brilliant smile she loved so much returning to his face.
"I love you so much too, Tucker," she said, the smile on her face illuminating her brown hair. "So much."
He took her hand. "Come on, let's go. We'll go out somewhere, meet up with everyone."
"Okay, let's go," she replied.
He lead her out of the ballroom and into the parking lot, looking from side to side for the '63 Mustang he had bought only months before.
"There it is," Anastasia pointed out.
He nodded and they both walked over to it.
Being the gentleman that he was, he opened her door for her and helped her get strapped in.
"Where are we meeting everyone?" she asked.
"Either McDonald's or Denny's," he explained, "But they're both right next to each other so it doesn't matter."
She nodded and he pulled out of the parking lot.
"Can you put on the radio?" Anastasia questioned.
"Sure," he replied, "Hold on a second."
He took his eyes off the road to turn on the radio not even noticing the intersection that was coming up that he was supposed to stop at.
"Tucker!" Anastasia screamed, "Tucker!"
But her screams were not heard as oncoming headlights shined on them and tires screeched, and then everything went black.
