A/N: Thanks again to everyone who reviewed the other story (Reunion). I had lots of fun writing it. I'm not sure if Welcome Back Vaughn will be anywhere near as successful as the other one, but I'm willing to try. And I just ask that you bear with me, because I'm going to be figuring this one out as we go along. And also, along the way, I want you to know that I am completely open to suggestions. Feel free to email me with them at blondie_days@yahoo.ca.
So here's a bit of a recap of Reunion:
*~*~*~*~* Sydney and Vaughn are married. She gets invited to her high school reunion. We find out that she was a huge NKOTB fan, head cheerleader, prom queen, and she went out with Sark who was her prom king. Sark is taken into custody where Sloane already is. And finally, Vaughn receives an invitation to his 15 year high school reunion
Okay, now I've already decided to change something. In the last chapter of Reunion, I said that Vaughn went to Westview High School. What I've decided to change is that I'm going to make him a catholic school boy. So his school is now named St. Mary's Academy. Also, I'm not sure if on the show Vaughn went to school in LA or in France, but in my story, he went to school in LA (I mean, I doubt he would go to France just for a reunion…)
And a side note:
~ Screen Names are Tacky – I must say that I agree with you, but we'll just try this out to see.
~ Egyptian Kat - clever idea, but we'll have to wait and see how successful this one turns out…

WELCOME BACK VAUGHN
CHAPTER 1 – Déjà vu
The next morning, after sleeping in, Sydney went to get the mail.
"Bills, bills, letter from Michael's mother, letter from St. Mary's Academy, bills. Wait a minute. Michael, honey…?" Sydney called.
"Yeah?"
"What's the name of your old high school?"
"St. Mary's. Why?"
"Are you sitting down?"
"Why, what's up?"
"Open this."
Michael opened the envelope.
'Michael Vaughn.
You are cordially invited to attend the 15 year reunion of the graduates of St. Mary's Academy, for the academic year of 1987/1988. The event will take place on Saturday, June 21st, 2003. Each graduate is permitted to bring one guest. Please inform us of the status of your attendance by Friday, June 6th, 2003. There will be mingling, dancing, and snacks at the event. Uniforms are not required.
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Margaret'
"Uniforms?" Sydney asked, trying to hide her smile.
"It was a catholic school. We had to wear uniforms."
Sydney burst out laughing.
"It was required!"
"I believe you. So you don't have to wear it to the reunion. That must be a big relief." Sydney teased.
Michael gave her the 'evil eye'.
"So… your school didn't give a history lesson like my invitation did." Sydney said, changing the subject.
Michael smiled. "No talk of New Kids on the Block in mine? Awww."
Sydney swatted him.
"Hey, remember our little discussion about swatting."
"So, who's Mary Catherine?" Sydney asked, changing the subject once again.
"She was the principal." Michael responded.
"So I got me a good ol' catholic boy, eh?" Sydney teased.
Michael groaned.
Sydney laughed. "So, what were you like in high school?"
Now it was Michael's turn to laugh. "I guess you'll just have to wait and see."
Sydney raised her hand to swat him, but Michael stopped her. "Now what did I say about swatting."
Sydney pouted. "No fair. You know all about me in high school…"
"After I asked you about it for 3 weeks and I only found out about your high school years yesterday, after I've known you for a few years, worked with you for as long, and been married to you for a few months."
"Please?" She pouted.
"Only 3 weeks until you get to find out." Michael informed her. "Until then, you get nothing."
Sydney raised her hands in defeat. "Fine. But there better be something juicy. Like you being the lead in the school performance of Jesus Christ Superstar, or being head of the audiovisual club, or math club or something like that."
"You'll just have to wait to see." Michael repeated.
Sydney smiled seductively at Michael. "So, about that uniform…"
