A few days later seen the next generation at school. Saraya-Jade had been instructed to only have soft or liquid foods until the stitches in her mouth had healed. Tyler had been given home treatment instead of visiting the local hospital with his twin, he had confidence his mum could do just as good job with stitching his simple arm injury and with more comfort. He had also been pretty determined to keep both S-J and Sophie separated in an attempt to prevent the chaos that happened days prior. Jack had offered to help him with it, knowing if Tyler stopped S-J then someone would needed to stop and calm Sophie down as well. He like Tyler knew if S-J snapped then she would no longer hold back against the one she precieved to be her enemy.
"What's going on between you two?" asked Davina, looking between the two girls. The one in the same year as her and the one in the year above. Neither sitting near the other or even acknowledging the other was there. She knew whatever happened was serious, especially when Saraya-Jade didn't attend school the day after the two had the major argument. Britini, Nicole and Danielle also looked between the two. Danielle having worked out it was something serious, as she hadn't known Saraya-Jade to just complete ignore someone was there before. Plus she knew some vague details from Tyler who had expressed his concern for both girls. Especially for Sophie as he knew she wouldn't be able to handle his sister if she happened to give up on playing nice as she was at the moment.
"What happened?" questioned Sophie almost as if she was questioning Davina. "What happened is little miss perfect over there couldn't keep her mouth shut. I told her something in confidence and she went and told her mummy and daddy. Her mum told my dad about it. Because of her the one thing I didn't want my dad to know, he found out about. I thought she was my best friend but I guess I was wrong about that. Its not just her dad that's a backstabber she is too" responded Sophie to the question, revealing the two had indeed fallen out as so many other of the group suspected they had. Danielle just shook her head, knowing eventually Saraya-Jade was going to snap. Just as she knew when it did happen nothing was going to be able to stop her from getting to the person her hatred and anger was aimed at. In this case that was going to be Sophie Reigns.
"I didn't god damn betray you" shouted Saraya-Jade her patients on the situation and with Sophie wearing incredibly thin. "I get it I told my mum about what you did. But she found your bloody towel. What was I supposed to do lie to her god damn face and hope she didn't find out the truth. You say I betrayed you, what about what you did a few days ago. When you followed me home and attacked me. What about when you ignored all my attempts to apologise and make it up to you. At least I can accept when I was wrong" continued Saraya-Jade calling her former best friend out on what she had done a few days prior and noting how she had tried to make things right but ended up being rebuffed every time just because Sophie didn't want to make things right. Sophie looked around to the others after that seeing the shocked looks she received in response to them learning of the attack. "I may be a bad friend or whatever you want to call me, but you're just as much in the wrong on this as I am. I know your not gonna accept that so to save you the hassle we're done as friends" finished Saraya-Jade, pushing her dark brown hair into a messy pony tail before walking off to the girls locker room, looking forwards to when wrestling class started.
"You okay Sophie?" asked Britini, seeing the tears begin to appear in the eyes of the other dark haired girl. She knew although Sophie was slightly younger than Saraya-Jade she had a temper that could rival the other teenagers. Their personalities were similar hence why they appeared to be clashing so much. Or at least that was what she thought it was. Danielle got up and followed Saraya-Jade wondering if the other twin teenager would talk to her about it since they were practically like cousins. She loved Saraya-Jade like family and knew the other slightly younger teen would be there whenever she needed her, just as she had always been. Sophie looked down to the ground when she was sure Saraya-Jade wasn't going to come back. Tyler and Jon looking to each other as did Jack and Matthew, neither really knowing what to do or if there was anything they could do. Jon and Tyler both knew Saraya-Jade had ended the friendship while it was still on relatively good terms before it got out of hand and became dangerous for the pair of them. It wasn't long before Sophie grabbed her things and ran off towards the English and gym level of the school. Davina sighed to herself before going after the other teenager, knowing she would need someone to help her. Although she knew it was going to be hard considering how attached Sophie had become to Saraya-Jade.
"Well this is going to be fun" spoke Rami, knowing the drama in high school was always worse but he hadn't expected this in his first year of WWE High. "Remind me not to get a best friend that obsessed with me" he added before hearing the bell signalling it was time to return back to the normal school schedule and the end of lunch ring. "See you guys when school finishes" he added before walking with Stephan to the maths floor ready for their next period of the day. He hated maths with a vengeance but also knew if he was going to go to college like he planned then he needed to pay attention and get good grades. Although he was as of yet undecided about his career path, he knew he wanted to go to college to give himself more options when he was older. Jon and Tyler soon left to go to the wrestling class, where as Jack and Matthew watched the other leaves for their classes knowing they were free all they had to do now was prepare for their exams and the upcoming tournament as well as find a prom date.
"So who you planning to ask to the prom?" asked Matthew looking over to his best friend. He knew who Jack was likely to ask, that being his girlfriend of almost a year in Saraya-Jade. Although he knew the odds of that one being allowed were slim due to her own one being the following year. "I asked Stephanie if I could take an eighth year student with me. She said yes as long as I keep an eye on her" continued the recently turned seventeen year old, seeing the intrigue appear in the eyes of Jack, to which he smile to. "I'm gonna ask Nicole. She's been down since Morgan left school and started to focus on her career, so to cheer her up I'm gonna ask her to prom so she has something to look forward to, and knows we care no matter where we are" revealed Matthew, showing he had noticed and also inherited his mother's kind nature. Jack smiled at hearing this, especially when he too had noticed how down the thirteen year old had become over the last couple of months.
"That's sweet of you" responded Jack, he knew he would have to start thinking about it as he already knew he couldn't go with Saraya-Jade. Stephanie had confirmed that for him when he had asked her a few week ago. "I know I can't go with Saraya-Jade, I don't really know who I would go with. No one else really catches my attention like she does, she perfect you know" added Jack showing just how much he loved Saraya-Jade when he told the truth, he hadn't thought about going to prom with anyone else but her. So when he was told he couldn't he didn't have a back up plan. He knew Monique was interested in him, she wasn't exactly quiet about it, actually she was the opposite, there had been many times she had questioned Saraya-Jade on their relationship, normally ending with Saraya-Jade walking off or just out right ignoring her.
"You really love her don't you?" asked Matthew wondering if he would find his perfect someone like the others he knew had. His sister in Tenille seemed happy enough with Alex, since they had just moved in together. Where as he was sure the other couples like Morgan and Phil were meant to be since they were happily engaged, planning their wedding and getting their careers off the ground. Even couples which were founded in the school from the previous generations still seemed happy together. Sure they may have had their differences along the way and even gone their separate ways at one point or another, but they had still found their own smiles and made their dreams come true while being there as friends for each other when they needed it most. Jack nodded to the question Matthew had asked, he really did love her and wondered if this was how the others felt.
"I do, ever since she said yes to that first date. I've felt as if everything is a little brighter, I feel as if she is the one holding me down to earth rather than gravity. I asked mum how she felt when she first met dad or when she realised she loved him, she said she felt like her heart beat for him. Like she was meant to find him. That's how I feel for Saraya-Jade. I don't see myself with anyone but her. No one else exists but her to me" explained Jack, remembering when he asked his mum in AJ how she felt when she first realised she loved his father. He knew she cared for him by the way she smiled at remembering the memories they had created together. Whether that be in high school, in the many wrestling adventures they had or even the personal adventures they went on together.
When school finished that day, Roman went to pick up Sophie as he had promised he would do allowing her to visit her mother for the first time since she had been locked up. He knew this was going to be an emotional visit plus she also had to deal with everything that was happening at school and with Saraya-Jade since he knew the duo still hadn't made things up despite him urging Sophie to apologies and put the past behind her. He also noticed Layla and Justin at the school with a mini bus, he was curious as they didn't normally break out the mini bus unless they had something planned. He was about to go over to them and ask when he remembered the tree house unveiling had been planned for that afternoon. Something he had completely forgotten about, but knew Sophie would appreciate seeing her mother more than visiting something of sentimental value to him.
"Hey there baby girl" spoke Roman, greeting his daughter with a smile when she appeared from the building, saying goodbye to Davina as she did so. She smiled a little bigger when she seen her dad was there as he promised and the name in which he had called her. She knew he only called two people that. Herself and her half sister Jo-Jo. There was something about the name that made her feel more special, like she was his little princess. The one he would always come for no matter what obstacles were put in front of him. "Ready to go and see your mum?" asked Roman, seeing her nod but also seeing a sadness in her blue eyes suggesting something had happened at school that she wasn't prepared for or expecting. She nodded to his questions, getting into the front passenger seat of the car and securing her belt before Roman could even say anything.
"Saraya broke off our friendship. She said to save me the hassle of accepting I was in the wrong just as much as she was, she ended our friendship" spoke Sophie in a way explaining why Saraya-Jade had chosen to walk away from the friendship between the two of them rather than try and fix it like most others would try and do. "I don't know whether to agree with her on walking away or hate her for it. I mean she didn't even try and work things out with me. She just decided after weeks of us not talking that she didn't want to be friends any more" she added opening the window a little to let some air in. Roman quickly glanced to her, knowing the attack a few days prior probably had contributed to Saraya-Jade's decision to walk away. Sophie looked to her dad before decided to play about on social media. She knew that was one of the only ways she could keep up with the others when she wasn't with them, or even how she knew what they were up to most of the time.
Back at the school Layla and Justin were just waiting for the oldest two boys to appear so they could get going to the woods where the tree house was located. Although it was something considered to be small to all those who were looking in, to the group of original misfits it was a big event as they were giving something they all loved and had cherished memories in to their own children so they could do the same. They were passing down the group heirloom in the form of the original hideout they had used so many year ago when they were just teenagers and trying to figure everything out including who they were and what they wanted to be. As well as where they belonged in the vast world that surrounded them.
"Anyone else curious on why we're all being bundled into said mini bus?" asked Jon, the signature smile almost identical to that of his father's spread across his lips, his eyes a little more brighter with mischief and curiosity of where they were going. Danielle sat next to him with a small smile of her own, especially when she had a feeling it was something to do with why their dad had been so secretive over the last couple of weeks. With their mum saying she didn't know anything although it was clear from that glint in her eye, she did know but wouldn't tell them as it meant ruining whatever their dad had been working on or helping with. The pair soon seen Matthew and Jack arriving to which Justin collared them, almost sweeping the older teenagers onto the bus and getting them to a seat with hastiness, making the group of eleven want to ask more questions on what they were doing, and what everything was about.
"Are we being kidnapped?" asked Tyler, his questions being met with a slight chuckle from Justin who was in the front passenger seat. He had expected some odd questions but never imagined Tyler of all people to ask if they were being kidnapped. "Seriously what's going on where Uncle Justin had to literally sweep us in a mini bus?" added Tyler, sweeping the fringe of his hair style to the side. He knew it had to be important whatever it was especially since the kindest of the original couples had come to pick all of them up from school. It was almost like they were a mini wrestling team heading out for a competition or something. Saraya-Jade sat next to him, a small smile of her own appearing, despite the pain she was in with her tongue. Tyler always managed to do something that could get her to smile no matter how she was feeling. Kind of like how Jon could cheer Danielle up no matter the mood she was in before hand.
"No Tyler we're not kidnapping you. This just happened to be the most conventional way to get all of you to the destination in one go. Considering Celeste, Oliver, James, Michael, Nicholas, Ben, Tenille, Morgan and Phil are already there waiting" responded Justin revealing the others in the same generation were already there waiting although he didn't say where there actually was. "Your parents and the rest of the original misfits as well as Prince are waiting there too for all of us to arrive" added the ageing responsible adult. He knew Finn had gone to Jefferson to pick up Prince before he and Layla had left, considering he only had one child to wait for there was a good chance he was already back at the park and waiting for him and Layla along with the eleven teenagers to arrive.
It wasn't too much longer before Layla turned into a parking lot, a smile on her features at the terrible yet some how amusing singing coming from the teenage passengers. Maybe it was because none of them had used their common sense and asked where they were going. Instead they had watched the view of houses and open fields go by singing random travel songs, as well as the lollipop song just to get on Justin's nerves. Once she parked the van, she got out along with Justin opening the side and back doors to allow the teenagers out, seeing the confusion to be at a park, although smiles on their features at all being together again. Since the last time both generations were together was the misfit Christmas the year prior.
"We're guessing you guys are wondering why we brought you here. Although by the looks of Justin you guys attending WWE High had more fun driving him around the twist than wondering where you were being taken" spoke Dolph, the group of original misfits minus Roman, standing together in front of the park they had gone to so much when they were young. Even when they were in the twenties. "You guys have grown up asking us questions, where we hung out as teenagers? Where we made some rather important life choices? Where the heart of the group truly is? Well we're gonna show you. Starting with this little park" added Dolph standing aside with the others, to reveal the little park which had stayed in relatively good condition, with new things replacing the old but still with the same things as before. It still being a little adventure park.
"Wait this is the place you guys come after school had finished?" asked Nicholas, looking to his father who nodded, seeing the small genuine smiles appearing on the lips of the many young teenagers and adults in front of them. Most of them had always wondered about the location of the park, having seen it in pictures or hearing their parents mention it when it come to memories they used as bedtime stories. Many of them only wondered where the location was even imagining it at times when it got boring in classes. "It's nice to finally see it in person" added Nicholas, he had lost count how many times he was going to ask his dad to take him to that particular park growing up, but when it come time to ask he never had to confidence to, so never got to go there. When he looked to Danielle and Jon he could see they looked as if they were remembering something as did Morgan and Nicole.
"You four remember don't you?" asked Randy seeing his two girls looking like they remembered when he took them there as young children. Morgan when she was just three years old and Nicole when Morgan was at school, she must have just turned two when he took to the park. He knew Dean and Summer had taken their twins there, once a week until they were four years old, when they started school. The duo seemed to have forgotten all about the park and the weekly trips they took there. "I brought Morgan here when she was three, just for a little day out. I promised I would take you to the amazing park daddy used to go to. As for Nicole you were just two when both me and Renee brought you here. You loved the sandpit to the point we had to hoax you out with your favourite strawberry lollipop" added Randy remembering when Nicole refused to leave the sandbox, enjoying building sandcastles and making sand angles.
"We used to bring Danielle and Jon here all the time. Once a week we came here as a family right up until the pair of you started school. After that you two pretty much forgot about it. You didn't seem to remember coming here even when you seen the pictures" added Summer revealing her twins had actually visited the park the most when they were growing up, to the point they could have directed a random stranger to the park. Yet after they started school it was like the little adventure park disappeared from their memories, only remembering it when they seen pictures of the many activities located there. Dean smiled at seeing each of them so gob smacked to be there yet so at peace with what was around them. Especially when they grew up on stories of the park, now they were actually there, seeing it for themselves.
"Alright rosebuds second generation. Follow me to the next and final location on our tour" announced Adam, seeing the way some of them looked at him. It was almost as if they were asking if there was more. "This one is the real reason your here. And one that each of you are going to love no matter how old you are" added Adam leading the way to the tree house. He knew he confused each of them when he lead them down a dirt path, telling each of them to watch their step due to the ditches here and there. As he lead them through the woods he knew they were becoming curious by the whispered questions, although it sounded as if they were shouting in the quiet zen the woods they were in offered. Adam smiled mainly because he knew most of them would be watching their step so wouldn't be paying much attention to what was in the tree's or even where they were going.
"You lot can look up now" came the voice of Adrian, standing beneath a tree, a little seating area to one side with a tire swing to the other. Just behind him was a rope ladder, leading up to the modified tree house. "This is the tree house most if not all of you have seen in photographs and heard about. We all figured it was time we passed something down to you. Sami pointed out it would be like an heirloom. So here is the misfit hideout. A few modifications have been made to accommodate all you. But at heart this is the same little tree house we used way back when" explained Adrian stepping aside to allow the others to explore the significantly larger tree house. Although it was different in size it was still more or less the tree house each of them had used. Like back then it was built with love and in friendship. Just like it was likely to be cherished by those who used it.
Seth watched with the others as those in the next generation explored the wooden hideout, wrapping an arm around Paige and pulling her a little closer to himself, remembering some of the good times in and around the place. Like the time when Dean tried to use the rope swing over the huge hole, he was attempting to show off but instead got his food caught, resulting in him hanging upside down until Punk and Sheamus could stop him from swinging and untangle him from the thick rope. He could also remember when Roman walked off to relieve himself, ending up getting lost and screaming like a girl when Summer appeared out of nowhere, she never let him live that one down, mainly because he acted the opposite to how he said he would in that situation. There was also the time when Justin was running along and smacked into a tree, breaking his nose in the process. He renamed the tree after that, calling it the Broken Nose tree, patting the trunk every time he went passed it like it was an old friend. He could even remember when he himself had a little mishap there. How his jeans got caught on a branch of the tree he had climbed, resulting in him tearing his jeans, he had found that pretty embarrassing considering he had to walk home that day, holding his jeans up due to the tear down his butt.
With Roman and Sophie, they had just arrived at the local prison. Roman showed the visiting order to the man at the gates, as well as Sophie's passport and his own form of identification. The officer at the gate allowing the two to enter the prison along with the others visiting. The Samoan was surprised when Sophie took hold of his hand, he knew she was scared about being there, as well as kind of excited about seeing her mum again. He put on a brave face and a comforting smile for her, knowing he had to be strong for his little girl and expect the worst. This was a prison after all, he knew there was a good chance his former wife was a victim of some sort of bullying. The two waited in a line outside a large canteen area, Sophie unable to contain her excitement, a little smile appearing on her lips as her eyes started to glow a little bit, all she wanted was to see her mum again. It wasn't long until they were directed into the large room and to a table.
"Mummy" loudly expressed Sophie when Star was one of the first few through the prison gate on the opposite side. She had her dark hair in a messy ponytail, no make up on as she once did and was dressed in an orange jumpsuit with a white vest top. A smile of her own appearing at seeing her youngest sat there, a little hope coming to her eyes. Considering Ryan hadn't come when she sent him an order, something that had hurt her but also something she understood due to him wanting to move on and the possible hatred he held for her. Star followed the guard sitting down the other side of the table from her ex husband and daughter, a warm smile on her lips at seeing them there, being able to hug her little girl again.
"There's my little princess" spoke Star after hugging Sophie tightly, she knew she had a lot of explaining to do as well as a lot making up to those she had hurt over the years. "How have you been? Looking after daddy? Keeping up with all your school work?" asked Star wanting to know everything her little girl had been up to over the months they had been separated. Roman had noticed the black eye Star was sporting suggesting she had been on the losing end of a fight or disagreement. He knew Star noticed especially when she shook her head slightly. "Thank you for bringing her Roman, it means a lot. Could you give this to Seth and Paige when you see them next?" finished Star giving a sealed envelope to Roman with Mr and Mrs Rollins written on the front of it, Roman could only nod guessing this was the apology she wanted to give them.
"I've been good, not really seeing eye to eye with Saraya-Jade at the moment. We had a massive falling out over something stupid, she decided to walk away from our friendship earlier today, after weeks of us not talking to each other. School is awesome though, I'm in Big E's tutor, he always makes it fun for us and tells us to believe in the power of positivity, tries to get us to laugh if we're feeling down" responded Sophie revealing she had become close friends with Saraya-Jade despite what her brother had done to the other teenager, and what her own mother had done to the family in which the teen come from. Star looked interested to hear about what her daughter had been up to. "Dad's has been awesome, always there, helps with homework, teaches me new things that he says is gonna help in later life, you know like any normal dad" added Sophie revealing Roman had been teaching her how to do several things around the house so she could look after herself when he wasn't there or when she moved on with her life.
"Just the normal of how to use the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher. How to cook her own meals you know that kind of things" added Roman just showing he was teaching her to be independent so she didn't have to rely on anyone around her Star just smiled at that, knowing what her daughter needed more than anything at that age was to be independent so she could find who she was as a person. She knew the teenage years were the worst, she herself felt as if she was alone in those years, she knew she didn't understand either of her boys when they were in those years, she still didn't with Rhys even when he had got her to wake up and see the error of her way and what it had cost each of them.
"I'm so sorry Sophie. For how I acted, I should have been there for you, told you this big idiot was your dad from the beginning and cherished you like I should have your brothers. Instead I did the opposite I pushed you away and made you feel worse than you already did. I want you to know I gonna be a better mum, whether I do that behind bars or I do that on visits when I come out of here. I'm hoping I can make things right with you and all those I hurt. Including your dad here" whispered Star, knowing her sentence wasn't going to be a light one, she had done so much bad in her life she was expecting the worst when it come to those getting retribution, she had actually expected Roman not to bring Sophie to see her because of everything she had done in the past. "I'm going to accept my punishment, I know what I did was wrong. Although I have asked for forgiveness off those I hurt the most, I don't expect them to grant it, especially Dean, Summer, Paige and Seth. Because of me they lost someone, I will understand if they refuse what I asked for" added Star revealing she wouldn't hold a thing against either of those who deny her the forgiveness she was currently seeking.
"Can I come and see you again mum?" asked Sophie, wondering if she was going to be able to come and see her mum again. Roman nodded to her request when she looked up at him, seeing the small smile appearing on her lips. He couldn't bring himself to tell her no especially when it come to the other person she loved so much and deserved to know no matter how much bad they had done in their past. Star looked the prison guard noticing him watching the time with only meant visiting was almost over, when she returned her gaze to Sophie she nodded before motioning the thirteen year old over to her, giving her a long tight loving embrace, tears in her eyes at being able to do that again after so long. She knew Roman was doing a good job at raising her considering how grown up she had become and the sparkle that had appeared in her eye.
