Saved by the Bell: The Graduate Years
Author: Oddangel
Rating: PG- 13 (Just like the show, so that means it may be cheesy at times-lol)
Disclaimer- I don't own SBTB. I just have a great love for the first and only TRUE class that had Zack, Lisa, Kelly, Jessie, Slater, Screech, and (we'll forget that Tori EVER existed-lol).
Parings- Zack/Lisa, Slater/Kelly, Screech/Violet; hints of Zack/Kelly
Summary: It's been four years since the gang graduated high school. Now they're graduating yet again. A new stage of life is in front of them as they go back to sunny Southern California.
Things to know:
Tori never happened (couldn't stand her so I'll just pretend she never happened: hums happily :)
The College Years NEVER happened ( I don't know WHAT that was about). Mainly b/c I think the show ended well when they graduated. I mean, Cal U, really?
Zack and Kelly never married (well of course if the stupid College Years didn't happen)
So that means I'm going where high school left off for the characters (with slight variations).
The Year- no real year. We'll pretend it is the present
Screech-logue
Oh hey there honorary Baysiders! It's your main cool man Screech here. You remember me. The ever so smooth ladies' man Samuel Screech Powers….okay…maybe I'm embellishing a bit. I wasn't exactly smooth…and I wasn't exactly the ladies man. In fact most women ran from me quite often in high school. Still though, high school was one of the best times of my life.
As you already know I was a part of the coolest gang at Bayside high. My friends and I had awesome adventures here in Palisades and anywhere else our crazy adventures took us. We were all inseparable- friends forever. Yet, like the awesome caterpillar goes into its cocoon to eventually change into a butterfly, so does life change (I'm trying to sound a bit poetic here). Once high school ended we all had to go on our own paths out into the great big wide world.
So I figured I'd give you an update on where things were so that you were up to speed. I know Zack usually does this, and boy I'm glad I finally figured out who he was talking to. I thought my buddy was a bit of a loon- talking to thin air and all. Then I figured out that it was you guys. Unfortunately, since we've all grown a bit older Zack hasn't had much time to keep you all up to speed. I don't see him talk to himself- err- I mean you guys- at all anymore. So I figured I'd take over.
Well, four years have gone by. Zack, as you all know, got into Yale. He actually went too! That didn't last long though. Eventually he felt Yale was too studious for his style, (read: they actually studied), and he wanted an environment that was a little more flexible- while being able to keep his tan. So he transferred over to USC. This was perfect for me, since that was the school I was already attending. My best buddy I together again.
Slater took the scholarship for wrestling and attended the University of Iowa. He was a big star over there. Jessie ended up going to Columbia where she recently graduated top of her class. I wasn't there this time to take the top spot. She majored in Environmental Studies (of course). Kelly attended the local city college after graduation for two years, and then transferred up to San Francisco State University. Lisa, my first love, went to FIT, but soon transferred out to NYU.
For the most part, we've all stayed in contact with one another through occasional phone calls, e-mails, and the like. Zack and I are still the closest of pals. Slater came over to So-Cal to hang out during breaks. Kelly would visit every now and then. She and Zack had even started something up, once again. It fizzled out, once again too. Those two crazy kids just don't know when to give it a rest. We don't get to see Lisa and Jessie too much. I think those two have stayed in close contact and visit Kelly often though.
Suffice to say, the whole gang hasn't been back together for four years. That's a long time if you ask me. Well, that's about to change. We've all graduated, and that means we're all going to be back in Palisades, at least for the summer anyway. Also, my birthday is coming up. My heart Violet, she and I met back up and are currently the hottest couple in Southern California ,(at least that's what my mom tells me), and she's helping me put together a fun outing for us and the gang this coming weekend in Los Angeles.
I'm super psyched. Who knows what putting us all back together will bring. I just know it's been a long time coming.
So sit back and enjoy the ride. If you're really good, I'll show you how to make my famous celery and broccoli chocolate smoothies. YUM!
A/N: So that's the opening. Hope you like it. I'm just getting started. Please review.
