**I forgot to mention I don't own Sweet Valley or any of the characters! And I wasn't sure what Conner's house looked like, so I made it up.**
Elizabeth pulled her bag along as quickly as she could. Now she really wished she'd spent tht extra $20 for a suitcase with wheels. The bag was heavy and she wasn't making much progress. She kept her head down and pulled. If only she hadn't gotten so much reading homework for the break, than maybe she'd be able to lift the damn bag. Without meaning to, she backed into someone- hard. Quickly she turned around. "I'm so so sorry- Oh my god!" She couldn't believe who it was.He smiled at her, and to her surprise her heart began to pound."Don't worry about it Liz. Now how bout I get your bag for you?" She nodded slowly. "What are you doing back here?" He laughed. "Same thing you're doing Liz. Visting my family for Christmas, and taking a break from University." Liz was shocked. "But.. but you were supposed to be going to SVU, weren't you?"A dark look flashed over his face quickly, but it disappeared and his face melted into the same easygoing smile she knew so well. "SVU wasn't for me. I wanted to start all over again, and SVU just wasn't the place to do it. I actually ended up in Lousiana, at Mcneese." He said with a laugh. So that explained the tan. "Well.. it's really, really great to see you." Liz said with a smile. It was. Her heart was fluttering and she couldn't deny it.
The taxi finally pulled up to his home. Conner was home. He couldn't believe it. A wide smile flashed across his face, and he knocked on the door. No answer. He waited for a few minutes, confused. He knocked again. Still nothing. What the hell? Where the hell was his mom and Sandy? Maybe they were asleep. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and called his house. He could hear the phone ringing from outside. "Hi, we're not home right now! Please leave a message at the beep!" his sister's perky voice said. So wait? They forgot about him? How could they do that? He remembered there was a key that was underneath the welcome mat. He lifted it, and sure enough it was there. Conner opened the door cautiously. Maybe they were at one of Megan's soccer games. Who knew? As he walked inside, rage washed over him. This wasn't his house. The house used to be a nice bright aqua colour. Now it was a deep red. There were new pictures on the coffee table. Megans junior picture. A picture of Megan and his mom. A picture of his mom and a strange man. What.The.Hell. There were no pictures of him. So what was this? Forget about your son? Replace him with someone else? He was disgusted. He left his bag in the middle of the floor and walked out. Screw this. He wasn't sticking around for this bullshit.
Tia and Evan rang Andy's familliar doorbell. No one was coming. "Grrrr..." Tia growled impatiently. She rang the doorbell repeatedly until Evan pried her hand off. "Tee! Whoaaa! Calm down! Don't worry!" Tia pouted. "Andy has to be home! His parents told me he was!" Just then, the door opened, and a sleeply looking Andy answered. "ANDY!!!!!!!" Tia yelled! She threw herself into his arms and gave him a huge kiss on the cheek. "Umm Tee? I am gay, remember?" he said. Tia laughed. "I love you Andy! Oh my gosh! I've missed you so much!" Andy smiled. "I've missed you too Tee, it's amazing to see you." Andy noticed Evan and laughed. "You're definitely still hogging conversations Tia. Hey Ev." Andy said smiling. Evan smiled back. "Marsdennn! I've missed your lame ass jokes!" Andy laughed again and Evan and Andy hugged briefly. There was an awkward silence. "So..." Andy started. Tia didn't want any of this to be awkward. They were best friends. "Andy. Go upstairs. Get dressed. As fast as you can. We've gotta get Conner. And Jess and Liz, if they're coming here. And anyone else who's coming here. We are having an all day reunion. We can start out at the beach. End the night at the Riot. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Just hurry, time's wasting!" Tia said stomping her foot to emphasize her point. Andy laughed. "Your wish is my command." And he retreated upstairs quickly. Evan smiled at Tia. "You, and only you could pull that off." Tia laughed happily. "I know, I'm just so amazing, right?" Evans hands went in the air. "Hey, I'm not disagreeing." Was it just Tia, or was there a spark in between them? Her and Evan? She never really thought about it. But suddenly it seemed so right.
