A/N: Hi guys. I don't know where the week went. Well actually I do. Now I know why Trina called it a "Birthweek" lol. I had a great one. Thanks for waiting patiently, and thanks to the new readers/reviewers. It was a nice surprise getting back to this. I'm actually working right now but I wanted to take a quick break and update.

Also, I'm sort of new to this stuff and this may be a dumb question, but what are the Topaz Awards? I received a PM/review on an old fic and I think it's rad cool, but I'm not entirely sure how or why or what it is lol.

On a late September afternoon, Cat and Beck had taken the day off to spend time together. They went to church, ate brunch, and stopped by the floral shop. By 4 PM, they headed over to their next destination. They reached the park and after walking for a good 5 minutes to the top of the hill, found the perfect spot to set their flowers down.

They were at the cemetery, the Los Angeles Memorial Park, a couple blocks down from their favorite park downtown. It was their parent's 15th death anniversary. On September 25, 1997, Beck and Cat spent the day together because their parents celebrated their anniversary and the two siblings hadn't had time for each other since Beck started his part time job at the mall. So that night, the siblings planned to watch the 10th anniversary of the Princess Bride with special showings in theaters. That night, their parents would have died in their car accident. So Beck and Cat made it a tradition every year to spend the day together before visiting their parents.

"How are you holding up, kid?" Beck asked his sister, who had been staring at the daisies their bought for their parents that afternoon.

"I can't believe 15 years came and went just like that," she spoke up. "I still feel like it was only yesterday."

"I know, it gets harder and harder every year doesn't it?"

"I miss them so much, Beck," Cat said somberly.

"Me too," he side-hugged his sister.

"But you know what's the scariest thing?"

"What?"

"Sometimes… sometimes I can't hold a clear picture of them in my mind. Like their faces are slipping, and I'm afraid any last memories of them will slip away. I have to carry around a picture of them just to recall what they look like."

"It's not scary, Kitty-Cat. It's life. Our minds are definitely not like our hearts. We'll forget things, but you'll never lose the feelings." He reassured her.

"I hope so."

"I know so."

After paying their respects, the siblings did another traditional thing; they spent the rest of their afternoon with their favorite person, Sikowitz.

"So how are your parents?" The old man asked as he took them on their usual stroll around the park. He always asked about them as if they were still around, and strangely they both didn't seem to mind it at all.

"Good," Cat smiled.

"Oh Kitty-Cat, you've got your mother's smile, did you know that?" the old made winked at her.

"I do?" Cat never received that compliment before.

"Down to the very dimple on your cheek. Why, Amelia won over Darren's heart because of her smile," he told the kids.

"Wow, pops was a sucker for those things, huh?" Beck chuckled.

"Oh and you didn't give in to Jade the first time you met her?" Cat teased.

"Touché," Beck chuckled.

"Hey Sikowitz, can we stop at the pond? Let's feed the ducks!" Cat was excited. It was these rare times that she let herself go and be a kid again.

"I'm on, Kitty-Cat," Sikowitz tipped his hat and gestured for his horse to take them in the direction of the pond.

At the top of the hill, a familiar person was taking photographs to finalize his photo shoot.

"Hey Robbie, the sun sets in about 27 minutes. Get your stills ready."

"Got it, chief. God I can't believe this is the final shoot."

"I know, right?"

"Yeah but the last time I took photos I ended up in the hospital."

"And that's why I'm staying with you until the end today," Terrence informed him.

"Yes, dad." Robbie joked.

Robbie started taking pictures of the scenery. A middle-aged man playing with his dog, tossing a Frisbee in the air. Click. Two little girls playing at the swings. One of them, probably the older one, is pushing the smaller girl on the swings. She reached the top of her force. Click. Moving more to the right a flying V over head. Definitely a click. Moving his camera below to where more ducks gathered, the calm and tranquil pond. Click. Inches closer, he spots a beautiful horse and carriage. About to click, a person is standing near it, admiring the pond.

"Hey Terrence,"

Yea man, what's up? You ok?

No, no I'm fine. Just, does that girl look familiar to you?" he said pointing towards Cat.

"Can't say I know her personally," Terrence lied between his teeth.

"That hair… Oh wait! I met her the other day here while I was waiting for Donna."

"S-so you two have met?" his boss anxiously questioned.

"Mhm. She's another doctor at the hospital, on Lane's team," Robbie looked at his friend. "Don't you remember her?"

"Uh… oh yeah, heh. Now that you mention it, she was there. Must have slipped my mind," Terrence nervously chuckled.

"Hey bro, are you ok? You don't look so good," Robbie said about Terrence's tense behavior.

"Oh I'm fine, Robbie," Terrence cleared his throat. "Uh, what did you guys talk about? If you don't mind me asking."

"Mm nothing really, just about how she became a part of Lane's team and then about my photography."

Terrence breathed a sigh of relief. Robbie looked at him weirdly, but brushed it off.

"Maybe I should go say hi," Robbie said as he focused his attention back to Cat.

"I don't know man, she looks busy," Terrence said.

Up until now, Robbie had not noticed Sikowitz and Beck's presence. Cat was feeding the ducks, Beck close to her, while Sikowitz was sitting at the bench laughing with them when they saw two ducks fighting for the same cracker. After they ran out of crackers, Beck gave his sister a compassionate hug and walked over to Sikowitz, sat down and the two started discussing what Cat would call "Male bonding topics" like sports or cars. Seeing Beck giving Cat a warm embrace, something came over Robbie.

"Yeah, she does look kind of busy," his facial expression grew stiff.

Terrence looked at him, "Are you ok, bro?"

"Oh, uh yeah," Robbie shrugged it off by chuckling. "She's just uh, really something to look at, you know?"

Terrence grew a slight smirk, "Yeah, she sure is pretty." He turned away from Robbie ogling at Cat and back to the set up.

Cat leaned against the railing near the water and smiled blissfully to nothing in particular. Robbie didn't hesitate a second and… click. As he reviewed the photo he took, he couldn't help but be mesmerized by the beauty in front of him and in his picture.

"Yeah, she's beautiful," he told himself.

Click. She heard from a distance. Was that a camera? Cat thought. She turned around. Nobody was there. She looked up at the hill, nothing. Cat was starting to get a weird inkling that something or someone was around and she wanted to know why she had suddenly become anxious.

"Hey kid, you ok?" Beck walked up to her and sat on the rail.

"Uh, yeah. I think so," Cat said slightly confused.

"Are you sure about that?" he chuckled.

"No. Yeah. It's just. I thought I saw or heard someone."

"Did someone call your name?"

"No…"

"Then how-?" Beck was confused.

"I thought I heard like a camera shutter…"

"Oh," He replied. Then he grew interest. "So who'd you think you'd see here?"

Cat looked at her brother, he was smirking.

"Shut up."

"What?" he playfully shrugged.

"I know what you're thinking. Or more like who," she crossed her arms.

"Who? What are you talking about?"

"Beck, I'm not going to say his name…"

"Hey sis, you thought of that all on your own, I never said a name."

"Look Beck, I know what you're thinking. You and Jade and everyone have been bothering me about it but I'm not going to change my mind. I'm not going to talk to him."

"Are you kids talking about the fella you took a ride with a few weeks ago?" Sikowitz interjected while saddling up Martha.

"What fella?" Beck was now extremely interested.

"Sikowitz," she shot the man a pair of daggers.

"Kitty-Cat, do you have something to tell me?" he smirked at his sister.

"It was nothing. We both rode with Sikowitz one day. It wasn't planned or anything," she defended.

"Hey I'm not blaming you for anything, kid. But why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it's nothing," she said as Sikowitz led them back to the front of the park.

"Did you talk to him?" he asked. She stayed quiet. "Cat?"

She sighed heavily and faced him. "I don't want to ruin it for Robbie. If he's happy then I'm happy too."

"Even if he's happy with someone else?"

"If that other girl makes him happy, then yeah… I guess," she told her brother.

"I don't believe you."

"You ever watch the cartoon 'Peanuts'?"

"Don't change the subject kid," he gave her a stern look.

She simply softened her face. "Charlie Brown didn't have the best luck with things, but he managed to be happy somehow. He was really smart. I learned a few things from him."

"Where are you going with this?" he was confused.

"I think… I'm afraid to be happy because whenever I get too happy, something bad always happens."

"But everyone deserves to be happy, Cat."

"I am happy."

"Oh yeah? And what is it exactly that's making you happy right now?"

"I'm graduating soon," she half-smiled.

"Oh, right," Beck smiled. "You are."
