A/N: Remember at the end of the first chapter of The Girl We Use To Know the whole poll thingy I did. Well, this is the first story using the number one voted Degrassi couple you like to read about is…
Drum roll please?
Drum roll
Mr. Sean Cameron and Ms. Emma Nelson!
"A magician's assistant?" Spike Nelson-Simpson asked. "Honestly, Emma, is that the best job you could find?"
"What's wrong with that, Mom?" Emma asked, packing her clothes ready to go on the road with her new friend, Isaac Tripp, who happened to be her boss if you wanted to call him that.
"Nothing," Spike said. "I'm just overreacting that my baby is finally leaving me and about to go out on her own." Spike started to tear up and Emma handed her a box of tissues.
"Mom, I'm not your baby," Emma said, shaking her head. "Jack is now." She looked at her little brother (now four) sitting on the steps. "Right Jackie?"
"No," Jack responded shaking his head. "I'm a big boy!"
"No you're not! You're both my babies!" Spike said.
Snake walked downstairs at that time. "She's crying again, Daddy," Jack said, looking up at him.
"I can tell," Snake replied, looking at his wife. "I got Emma a little going away present."
"Snake!" Spike screamed. She grabbed another tissue and cried into it.
Emma looked at her stepfather who just blushed. "You have something for me?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, here," he said. He handed her a small box and she sat down on her bed and opened it. It was a plain silver pendent, smooth as a rock. "The man at the antique store said that there was a legend behind this pendent."
"A legend?" Emma asked.
Snake nodded. "He didn't tell me the legend, but I thought you'd like it."
Emma stood up and hugged him. "Thank you. I love it, Dad."
Snake smiled. He loved it when she called him "Dad".
Emma finished packing and fell asleep for the last night in her own bed, with the pendent beside her.
The Legend
Eighteen-year-old Jane sat at her vanity table brushing her long blond hair. She was wearing her new ball gown of rich lavender, off the shoulders and flowing just like something out of a fairy tale.
"Miss Jane," her chambermaid, Kari (pronounced Car-ee) walked in. Jane stood up and smiled at her. She smiled. "Why, Miss Jane, you look lovely."
"Thank you Kari," Jane said. "And what did I tell you about this 'Miss Jane' stuff? It's just Jane."
"Sorry," Kari said, curtsying.
"Now, did you have something you wanted to tell me?" Jane asked, sitting down and picked up her silver brush that had real rubies, diamonds, and sapphires in it.
"No," Kari replied. "Just to fix your hair. Sir Robert is here."
"Oh," Jane said, smiling. "I better to hurry. I don't want Robert to keep waiting."
Kari smiled and walked over and fixed Jane's hair.
TBC…
A/N: Just to let you know …"Jane" is Emma; "Robert" is pretty much Sean; "Kari" is Jane's best friend so she's Manny. More of Emma/Sean's story will unfold along with Jane/Robert's story soon.
But Emma, Sean, Manny, and the other characters you'll read about are the "reincarnations" of all of the characters in the legend.
