A/N: I know that this has taken a really long time and I apologise for that. The usual the characters from the show and books are not mine!

Enter Sara

Sara started laughing at the reactions. "Oh my! It's so wonderful to see all of you again," she said going from one member to the other giving and receiving hugs and kisses.

"My, my, Sara," Aunt Hetty said with teary eyes, "It is certainly grand to see you again dear child," with that Sara threw herself into Aunt Hetty's arms.

Sara turned her head and spotted Felix smiling at her. "Felix King! I haven't so much as gotten a letter from you for a while, you would think that you wanted to be rid of me," she said accepting an embrace from him.

"I could never be rid of you, Sara. We have had too many good times together."

For a good five minutes there was endless talking, everyone trying to find out about Sara and her trying to find out the news about her family. The group wasn't broken up until there was the sound of knocking at the door.

"Ohh! That must be Izzy," Cecily said with high spirits.

"Izzy, you didn't tell me that Izzy is home again," Janet said in motherly voice, "I would have wanted to welcome her."

"Don't worry mother, you were still asleep, and I did not know when she was supposed to arrive back home in Avonlea again," Cecily told her mother as she walked to go answer the door. She opened it, "Hello, Izzy, come on in, you must be cold!"

"No, I'm quite alright, thank you Cecily. Hello everyone. Happy new years to all of you. Hopefully this year will bring victory for us," Izzy said out of breath.

"I can tell you have been visiting with your father and family when you start to talk like that Izzy," Alec said teasing her.

"Well, Mr. King, after spending so much time with them over the holidays their thoughts start to grow on you."

"Izzy, are you going to the party tonight?" Janet said questioningly.

"Yes, that's why I am here to take Felix and Cecily with me. Oh Sara!" Izzy said with a jump, she ran over to her, "How are you? How was France? How long were you there? Where---'' Izzy said in a way unlike her own.

Sara could do nothing but laugh and hug her old friend. "Oh, Izzy, it is great to see you. You have changed so much. Dresses and your hair is done up in the new fashions, I am absolutely jealous because of how beautiful you look tonight," Sara exclaimed.

Izzy just blushed and said, "My family thought that I needed a change, all this was not my idea."

"Well it looks fabulous," Sara said.

"She is right Izzy dear, the new way of fixing your hair lets your face shine through nicely, you a picture."

"Thank you Mrs. King."

"Izzy, how many times have I asked you to call me Janet? You practically live with us at times, and I don't want to feel older than I am."

Izzy smiled, "Alright Mrs—I mean Janet," Izzy caught herself. "Well we are off to the dance, Sara would you like to join us?"

"It would be nice to go, but I would rather stay here with everyone and just talk and talk and re-acquaint myself with them."

"Are you sure, we have plenty more room?" Izzy tried again.

"It's just fine, the three of you have fun, I have had enough for a lifetime," Sara thought back to the horror when the war was declared and the French soldiers were marching around Paris. She shook herself out of her reverie; she did not want to alarm those that she loved dearly.

"Maybe we should go then, I will talk with you after Sara," Cecily said as she put on her jacket.

"That will be nice, have a good time."

Felix climbed in front and took control of the reins with his one free and useful hand. Cecily and Izzy went into the back so that they could talk, and because they weren't thinking about it, the girls never knew that Felix was paying attention to what they were saying.
