Louis walked briskly down the street. He could have taken his limo, but he didn't feel like being a "star" at the moment. "Maybe Ren is right," he thought, "Maybe I DON'T deserve the money I get."

He walked along with his head down, still remembering the path to where the Swirly Ice place was.

He looked up when he heard excited screams. Automatically, he thought it was more of his fans and ducked behind a trashcan. But when no fans came rushing over to him he realized it wasn't for him. He looked out behind the trashcan and saw a bunch of teenage girls crowded around a tall young man in his twenties. His hair was long and blonde and his smile, dazzling. "Twitty! Twitty! Twitty!" The girls screamed. Louis walked closer to the crowd.

"Twitty?" he said softly. Of course the blonde man didn't hear him over all the screams but he DID see Louis behind the crowd of girls.

"Louis?" He broke through the girls and walked to him. "Heeeey! I saw your new movie last week!" Twitty exclaimed. " Dude it was sweet! Absolutely great!"

"Yeah I bought your new CD yesterday. It was great. I loved the little guitar riff thingy you do…." Louis faded off.

Twitty and Louis stared at each other for a moment that seemed like a lifetime. All the while, the girls still screaming out Twitty's name.

"Well...it was awesome seeing you Lou." He said uneasily.

"Yeah, awesome. See ya round..."

Louis and Twitty shook hands and started walking in different directions. Louis looked back at Twitty walking away with the girls trotting behind him. He couldn't help thinking about how they used to be the best of friends. How they used to jump in the trash bins full of Styrofoam. How they wouldn't even let a girl get between them. But now something had gotten between his former best friend and him.

Time.


Ren walked down the sidewalk with tears in her eyes. "I knew it would be a mistake to come here." She thought to herself. "There's too many memories sitting around here."

She walked down the old familiar streets and felt a tear in her heart. It all reminded her of her father. When he had died, a piece of her heart died with him. She had never been too close to her father and she regretted it everyday of her life. Now that she was in this town, every little dandelion would bring back a memory.

Ren was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the bright red headed woman walking towards her. The woman must not have been paying much attention either because they ran straight into each other.

"Hey watch where ya-" The red haired woman stopped her yapping a stared ren in the eye. "No... no... it can't be." She whispered to herself. Ren stared the woman in the eye. There was something about that woman, something about that accent....

"RUBY!!" She yelled right when Ruby yelled out, "REN!!"

"Oh my gawd I cant believe my eyes look at who I see!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Yeah I know! It's been how many years? I haven't seen you since you moved to New York in the tenth grade!" Ren marveled.

"Oh my gosh! Hows ya life been?" Ruby said in that voice of hers.

"Well, I'm in law school-"

"Oooh, I knew my girl could work that!" Ruby interrupted.

Ren smiled. "There's not much else to say. My life is beyond boring. But im working hard so it's worth it." Ren said losing her enthusiasm.

"Yeah well I know what you mean. I moved back here 2 years ago. I have a 7 year old daughter named Diamond." Ruby said.

"Oh really? Don't mean to meddle, but are you married?" Ren asked.

"Yeah, I was. Its funny, I was married to this guy named Christian. You remember him? He used to be in this group called BBMAK?"

"Really? You actually married him? How did that happen?"


Donnie entered his old bedroom slowly. He did a complete turn around at first, in remembrance. He slowly made a stop when facing the left side of his room. His trophies. An eerie light seemed to halo around them.

"Oh, my beautiful trophies! I've missed you so much!" Donnie cried kissing an angel shaped trophy.
