Liz walked up to her house. Calico drive. So familliar. Taking a deep breath, she turned around. "Thanks so much for all your help Todd. I really appreciate it." Elizabeth said with a sweet smile. Todd flashed an easy-going grin at her. "No problem Elizabeth, it really was my pleasure." A few seconds passed, but it was a comfortable silence. "Well.. I guess I really should get inside..." Liz said trailing off slowly. "Yeah, definitely. Look, I'll give you a call soon okay? Maybe we could go for a coffee or something, catch up, you know?" The invitation from Todd made Liz's heart flutter a bit. It felt nice to know she wasn't immune to a good-looking guy. And for the record, Todd was just as good-looking as Conner. "Yeah, that would be great! Thanks again Todd." Liz chirped brightly. Quickly, the two hugged. "Bye Liz." Liz waved and smiled in response.
The doorbell rang. "AHHHHHHHHH! It's Liz! I know it! It's Liz!" Alice Wakefield looked at her daughter. "Jessica! Please, try to be a bit more quiet, oK?" With an exasperated sigh, Jessica looked at her mother. "Mom, I'm sorry, but it's Liz. Honestly, she's only my sister and best friend, and your daughter!" Alice laughed. "Okay, Okay Jess. I get it. Now go get the door!" Trembling a bit, Jessica stood up. She knew it was Liz. She could feel it. Somehow she was nervous to see her sister. What would she be wearing? Would she still look the same? The two still talked all the time, but she hadn't seen her since August. Jessica threw open the door and sure enough, it was Liz. Tears came to Jessica's eyes. Elizabeth was the picture of poise and class. She had her hair pin straight and down, and she had on a pair of black pinstriped pants, and a sleeveless white turtleneck. She even had on gorgeous make-up: smoky eyes and clear gloss on her lips. "Liz!!" Jessica exclaimed. "Jess!!" Elizabeth yelled back. The twins grabbed each other and began hugging, laughing and crying at the same time. "Oh my god Jessica, you look so beautiful!" Jessica looked down at her peasant top with flowy sleeves,her camel coloured skirt, and suede knee high boots. "Me? Nahh.. I just threw this together! But you! God Liz you're so sophisticated!" Elizabeth laughed. "Well I figured I might as well arrive in style! But look at your hair! I love it!" Jessica smiled, glowing with happiness. She looked at her hair. It was in loose ringlets. "Thanks! I wasn't too sure if I liked it at first, but it really grew on me!"
The sound of Mrs.Wakefield's voice from the dining room was carried to the front door.
"Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield! Get in here now! Other people are dying to see you!"
Jessica and Elizabeth looked at each other, and promptly burst into giggles. "Alright mom, we're coming!" Jessica nudged Liz and they both broke into peals of laughter. They linked arms and walked into the dining room. The Wakefield family was reunited, happily and tearfully.
Elizabeth Wakefield:
Jessica looks beautiful.
Her and Jeremy look so amazingly happy together.
Mom and Dad? They look amazing too.
Steven even has a beautiful new girlfriend.
I guess one Wakefield had to be unlucky in love...
Conner walked. He wasn't sure how long he had been walking. He just needed to clear his head. Desperately. Finally he decided to walk back home. The door was unlocked. The happy family was home. He didn't knock. He barged inside. Noisily. "Conner! Sorry we missed you earlier, we had to go to Megan's soccer game. We didn't mean to take so long, it went into overtime! You should've seen your sister, she was amazing!" Mrs.Mcdermott seemed so happy he was home. Too bad he didn't care. Megan came running down the stairs. "McD! I've missed you so so much!" Briefly Conner smiled at her. It wasn't her fault. Suddenly a man emerged from the kitchen. Not just a man. THE man. In photo. And he was smiling. At Conner. As if he knew him. "Hello there. You must be Conner. I'm Clark. It's nice to finally meet you." He extended his hand to Conner. Right. Like Conner really was gonna shake it. He turned around and walked out the door.
"Now that has got to be the best meal I've had all year! Thanks so much mom and dad, it truly was delicious! Cafeteria food just does not compare." Although her heart wasn't really in it, Liz still really did appreciate her parents efforts. Even though she had just gotten home, she did want to see her friends. She could see her family all break. And it soooo necessary that she at least saw Tia and Maria. Jessica caught Liz's eyes. It was obvious Jess knew what she was thinking. "Umm Mom, Dad? Me and Liz were kinda invited to have a small.. umm rendez-vous with all our friends from SVH.. sooo would you mind if we went?" "Ummm Captain Obvious much?" Liz thought to herself. Alice and Ned exchanged a look. Unfortunately Liz couldn't read it very well. "Well.." her mother began. "Yes? Go on .." Alice sighed and shrugged. "Alright, why not? Go have some fun." "Mom! Thanks so much!" Both Liz and Jess rushed to her side and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "We'll be gooood, I promise!" Jessica said with a wink. Mr. and Mrs.Wakefield laughed. "Okkkk Jess, I'm suuure you will." Alice's voice was filled with sarcasm, and she was smiling happily. "Have fun girls!" "We will" Jessica and Elizabeth said together in a singsong voice. They got up from the table, put on shoes, and Jessica pulled out her cellphone. "So, what's Conner's number again?"
