Disclaimer: I do not own Emily of New Moon, even if I wish owned maybe Teddy or Perry :)

"This is crazy." Laura Murray said. "Jack you look like a true gentlemen. What are you doing back here in Blair Water?"

"Well, Miss Murray I've done a lot of thinking and I told myself how much I missed it out here in the country and besides the point my father is being a roughneck so I decided to come back for a visit."

"How long of a visit?" Ilse Burnley asked practically falling at his feet dying to know the real reason he had came back, but would bribe it out of him later.

"Oh, a couple of days, or weeks, or months even blondie."

"She has a name you ya know." Perry Miller said sitting at the table.

"Please no arguing." Laura insisted as she looked around. "where's Emily and Teddy?"

"Probably by the barn smooching." Ilse said giggling.

"I completely resent that Ilse Burnley." Emily Starr said as she and Teddy Kent came into the kitchen. "For your information we were finishing up chopping the wood since my partner left me." she said giving a look at Perry.

"Sorry, Emily." he said smiling at her.

"It's okay Perry." she said moving a chair towards Teddy as he sat down and she helped her Aunt Laura put the food on the table. "It's a good thing you made a lot of food Aunt Laura." Emily said sitting down between Jack and Teddy. Laura and James Murray, Emily's cousin sat at an end of each table and Ilse and Perry sat across from Emily, Jack ,and Teddy.

"I had this strange feeling I'd be feeding an army, it came to me in a dream." Laura chuckled as Jimmy helped serve and soon dinner was finished and Emily, Jack, Ilse, Teddy, and Perry went to the Disappointed House.

"Of the time I spent in Blair Water, Emily nor blondie ever showed me this place." Jack said.

"It's our secret clubhouse." Ilse said. "Be lucky you've seen it."

Teddy snickered. "So um... serious Jack what brings you back here to Blair Water? I mean you left kind of abrupt just because Jimmy wouldn't go into the fox business with you." Teddy asked moving towards Emily.

Perry looked at the ground kind of staring at his shoes. He hated the sight of how Teddy Kent was all over Emily. His Emily since he first came to Blair Water looking for work.

Emily looked over at Perry noticing that he hasn't really sad anything. "Perry are you okay?"

"I'm just fine girlie." Perry said. "Just this rotten bandage here is giving me a hard time."

"Well maybe we can loosen it for you." Ilse suggested.

"Nah that's okay Ilse." Perry said.

Teddy put his arms around Emily protectively. He noticed that since they had brought Jack to see the Disappointed House he hasn't token his eyes off her. "So Emily did you hear anything from Rhoda?"

"Teddy thanks for reminding me." she said smiling. "I got this letter from New York a couple of days ago."

"New York?" Perry asked confused. "what does New York and Rhoda Stuart have together?"

"Well, when you were gone and Jack was gone too a guy form new York came to Blair Waters to talk with Emily about a story she had written and wanted her to work for him. Only Rhoda stole Emily's mail and pretended to be her only Teddy figured it out." Ilse said smiling at Teddy.

"What did she say?" Teddy asked massaging Emily's shoulders.

"That she's having the absolute time of her life in New York, she met a guy, his name is Robert and she sent me a picture of him and her together." she said showing it to Ilse.

Ilse gasped. "He's absolutely handsome in every way possible."

"They're also engaged and they're coming for a visit some time next week. She says she can't wait for me to meet him." Emily said handing Ilse the letter who read it out loud.

Dear Emily,

I do know how much you must resent me for taking the job in New York, but it's absolutely beautiful here. Nothing at all like Blair Waters or Prince Edward Island. I am still working at the paper and I have met the most wonderful guy in the world. More wonderful then Teddy Kent, Jack Haszard, Perry Miller, or anyone I have ever met before. His name is Robert Johansen and he's the greatest. We're engaged and I would love for him to meet you. I told him so much about you and he's dying to meet a famous writer like yourself. I told him I was lucky for if he had met you first you'd be the one engaged to him and not me. How is everything in Blair Water doing? My mother still being her normal self? I know nothing of that will change. I bet she is furious with me for leaving, same with Jenny Strang, but I had to get out. enclosed I have a picture of me and Robert. I shall be returning to Blair Waters some time next week and hope to see you and you may meet him as well. Are you and Teddy still going together? Did you hear from Perry in war or from Jack in the big city? And please do not let my mother know I am coming.

Yours truly,

Rhoda Stuart

"Wow she thinks any guy that looks at you first and not her will choose you over her." Ilse said.

Emily shook her had. "That isn't true. Teddy was Rhoda's beau before I met him and Perry and Jack well, you peed in Jack's camp site and if you didn't we wouldn't have never met him."

"And for Perry?" Ilse asked with a small smile.

"Well, he saved my life."

Teddy looked at Perry skeptically. "And how did you save Emily's life?"

"A bull was about to attack her." Perry said grinning.

"Well, we wouldn't want anything to happen to our famous writer now would we?" Jack asked.

"Hardly famous." Emily said.

"That's what you said when we first met." Jack told her smiling. "So Emily how well can you describe a kiss?"

Emily blushed. "Come on Emily describe your real first true kiss with Teddy." Ilse said. "You never told me."

"This should be more interesting then a chicken peck." Jack said raising his eyebrow.

"A chicken peck?" Perry asked.

"Nothing Emily needs to say. I mean Emily and I have kissed more times then she has with any other guy."

"That you know of." Ilse said.

"Ilse what's that supposed to mean?!"

"Um... nothing." she said shaking her head.

"So blondie did you ever get kissed yet?" Jack asked.

"Yes as a matter of fact I have been kissed. Well I mean I kissed someone, two people in fact."

"You mean that time you kissed both Teddy and Perry?" Emily asked as Ilse nodded.

"You know I'm kind of confused on this entire thing going on between the four of you." Jack said.

"Why is that?" Teddy asked.

"Well, when I met Teddy he was totally protective on Emily which he still is, Ilse kept wanting Teddy for herself, when I met you Perry that one day you were visiting like a break before you went to Africa you were not wanting to leave Emily's side. So I figured it out this way. Ilse likes both Teddy and Perry. Teddy and Perry both like Emily. And Emily is undecided on who she really likes."

Ilse looked at Teddy, Perry, Emily, and back at Jack. "Yeah pretty much."
