Part 1

Liz went upstairs. There was two bedrooms and a master. She took the master. Inside was a queen size bed with a lavender bedding on it. There was a white nightstand with a lamp on either side of it. The window had a bench in front of it. There was a bookshelf with all of her books on it. Along with some pictures on it. There was also a flat screen tv in the room. To the right was the bathroom. That had a deep tub that had led candles around it. There was standing shower that had blue tiles in it. There was a his and hers sinks.

She laid down on the bed. She couldn't get over that it had been ten years. Which meant that she had lost ten years of her life.

Max sat there at his desk. He just had gotten off the phone with his parents. They told him that they had found the plane that Liz,Michael, Alex and Tess were on. That they were all alive. He looked over at the picture of the eight of them together. It was taken at Tess's birthday. They had smiles on their faces. It was also the last picture they all had taken together.

He heard a knock on his office door. "Come in." he yelled. Grace walked in. "Ali called to tell you to pick up dinner." She told him. He forced a smile and Grace walked out of the room. He sat back in his chair. He didn't know what he was going to do.

"Maria!" Her mom yelled at her. Maria came walking down for the apartment. "What is it mom?" She asked. She was just putting the last touches on the cake for Jake's birthday cake. "I need you to come sit down." Amy said as she pulled out a chair in the cafe. Maria looked at her mom with a weird look on her face. "Is this about Kyle?" Maria asked. "No." Amy told her daughter.

Maria sat down in the chair her mother had pulled out. Amy sat next to her daughter. She put her hand on her knee. "I just got off the phone with Nancey. She got a call that they had found the plane Liz had been on…." Amy told her. Maria looked at her mother with shock on her face. "Are they ok?" Amy smiled at her. "All of them are alive. Nancey did say that they looked like they hadn't aged since they left. The FBI is looking in to where they have been. None of them knew they were gone for so long. Jeff told her that Liz said they were only gone for a few hours." Maria gave her mother a look.

"How? They have been gone for ten years." Maria told her. "We don't know…"

Kyle was on the sidelines at a game. "Run Nate!" He yelled. The five year old ran as fast as he could with the football. He made a touchdown and looked at Kyle. He then saw Jim come up to Kyle. They were talking. Kyle started to cry. He went to his knees.

After everyone cheered for him. He went to Kyle. "What happened?" He asked. Jim picked up Nate. "Something good happened kiddo." He said smiling. Nate looked confused. "Then why is Kyle crying?" He asked. "Because his friends who he thought were missing came back."

Isabel sat in front of her students. She was reading them a book about bugs. She looked up when her mom and another teacher came in. "What is going on?"She asked them. The other teacher took the book out of her hands. "I'm going to take over your classroom for the rest of the day. Your mom is here to take you home."

Diane pulled her daughter's hand. "Mom what is going on?' Isabel asked her. Diane pulled her daughter to her side. "Let's go home and I'll tell you."

They walked outside and got in to Diane's car. Isabel's head was spinning. She had never seen her mom like this before. They pulled up to Diane's house. They both got out of the car. When they got to the kitchen table. Isabel had enough of waiting. "Tell me what happened!" Diane looked at her daughter. "They are back…." Isabel didn't know what to say. "They found the plane. All of them made it." Diane told her daughter. "So they are all alive….?" Isabel asked her. "Yes". Diane told her.

Nancey ran to her husband the moment he walked in the door "How are they?" Jeff gave his wife a smile. "They are all fine." Nancey smiled which felt like she hadn't done in years. "How does she look?" She asked. He pulled her with him to go sit on the sofa. "She looks like she hasn't aged she left. She still looks like our little Lizzie." He told her.

"Did you call your mother?" Nancey asked. "She is the one who told me that I should close down Lazy Cat Cafe today, because something big was going to happen. I think she knew this was going to happen. She knew all along that they were ok. She even got that house for them. I think that my mother is hiding something from us…" Jeff told his wife.

They both looked up as Liz's cat Dean jumped in to their lap. Jeff pet the cat. "Looks like you'll be going to live with Lizzie." The cat started to purr.

James sat down at the kitchen table. His wife walked into the room. They both had just gotten the news that their son Michael was back. "James you should go see him." Lydia told her husband. "What if he doesn't want to see me? We got in to a huge fight before he left." He said with sadness in his voice. "You have been beating yourself up for this for ten years. I'm sure Michael doesn't care about the fight anymore. Go see our son." She told him.

They looked up when they heard May walk into the room. When Michael went missing she was only eight years old. Now she was eight-teen. "I'm going with you." She told her father. He wasn't shocked by this at all. She was a lot like her brother.

Charles pulled out a picture of his wife. "They are back Wendy. Our boy is back." He said to the picture. He sat down in Alex's old room. Which was still like he left it. Alex's parents couldn't box up anything. They still held on to hope that Alex would be coming home.

Even when Wendy got sick. She kept telling her husband "He'll be back and he'll want all of his stuff. Don't you dare move anything when I'm gone." It had been six years she passed away and he didn't move anything.

They had planned to move to New York for Wendy's treatment. They were planning on telling Alex then that she was sick. But that never happened.

Ava fell to the ground and dropped the phone. "Ava …. Ava..!" Diane yelled. Her sister was back! Her twin! She couldn't believe it. "I'm here." She said picking the phone back up. "I'm going to come pick you up." Diane said as she hung up.

How was she going to tell Tess that their parents had died in a car crash soon after she went missing? Tess wasn't going to be able to handle it very well. They were all so close before she left. Ava had been having a hard time handling it for the past ten years. Luckily The mothers made sure she was doing ok. They all took her in and made her part of their families. That's why she wasn't shocked that Diane was coming over.

For ten years she was alone. She lost Tess and then her parents. Now Tess was back. She felt joy. She had forgotten what it felt like.
