NOTE TO READERS: Enjoy!! Tell me what you think..

"Oh my! What happened here?" Jo McGuire asked in shock as Kate and Matt arrived at the McGuire household with injured Dave and Danny. It was the first real emotion she had shown in quite some time, but Matt was to busy thinking back to moments before to notice the sudden change in his mother's status.

Jo's question went unanswered as she rushed to the kitchen, coming out seconds later with an ice pack for Danny's eye, tissues for Dave's blood, and rubbing alcohol for both.

Suddenly, Lizzie emerged from the stairs. Dave was the first to notice, but couldn't speak, especially after their run in at the hospital. Lizzie stared at all of them. The tension in the room was killing her as she thought of a time when these strangers, were big parts of her life. Kate looked back and forth between everyone, while an idea erupted in her mind. Soon, she had snuck out of the room, to put it into full effect. No one noticed her departure, and when she reappeared minutes later after making a phone call, the same awkward silence surrounded the room.

"What's going on?" Although quiet and hushed, Matt heard every word his sister spoke. Although, she was eating healthy, for the baby, Lizzie still looked fragile and sick, as if she was recovering from a long-term illness, and facing some bad turns along the way. Her eyes were blood shot, and her hair stringy, messy and undone. Dave and Danny glanced devilishly to each other and instantly, Lizzie felt the sensation that this was all because of her, and knew she would cry again.

Somehow, Matt could feel Lizzie's pain, "Nothings going on..you know, just ego drawn males...expressing their..anger. That's all, NOTHING else." He pleaded for her to believe him and the lie he was throwing out to her, to relieve from any possible pain, but unfortunately, the tears seemed to build up more inside of Lizzie.

She realized what Matt's intentions were, and silently thanked him, as she tried hard to choke back her tears. "So, what really happened?" Lizzie sighed.

"It doesn't matter," Dave sighed. "Its all over, we're done."

"Who said we're done. I never agreed to that!" Danny glared at him, rage building up again.

"Don't you dare get mad at me."

"Oh, but I have a right to be angry for what YOU did." Then Danny stood up, forcing his face into Dave's, trying to find fear lying within Dave's eyes. Soon, both were standing, not taking their vision off the other. Everyone around stood in fear, not sure what was going to happen.

No one was sure how it started, but soon, Danny and Dave were throwing punches once again. Jo tried to stop them, but backed off after she came close to being hit herself. Lizzie ascended from the stairs quickly, but stopped right before them, unable to move. Matt tried to rush in the aid of his sister, but was held back by Kate. She was grabbing onto his arm in fear, some for Lizzie, but mostly for him, "Don't Matt, you'll get hurt. Besides, Lizzie needs to handle this one on her own." She whispered.

"Please.." Lizzie began to plead, ever so gently. Neither of them heard her, as they continued on. "STOP!"

"Liz, stay out of this, it doesn't concern you!" Danny yelled.

"Don't you yell at her!" Dave pushed Danny hard for that one.

"Gordo, you have NO right to be mad at me! You're the ASS!" Danny received another shove for that one.

"Really, because it seems there is only one ass, and I'm looking at him." Dave screamed, as Danny fell to the floor, blood falling down his face.

Danny touched his hand to his nose, and felt the thick liquid between his fingers. Suddenly, he rose to his feet, and bull rushed Dave so hard, he fell to the floor. Danny stood over him, rasping breath, heated tone, "I'm going to kill you."

Dave spit into Danny's face with disgust, "You have no reason, you fucking dick."

"You slept with Randa, I think that's reason enough, you fucking bastard!"

Dave gulped in shock. He wasn't expecting that. 'How did he find out? Did Randa tell him?' was all he was thinking. Dave's gaze went to Lizzie, whose eyes were tearing up even more. She looked away, couldn't bare to see him, it hurt her too much.

Another blanket of uncertainties covered the room, as the sound of the doorbell could be heard. Without thinking, Kate opened the door to more pain than she expected. The one she had spoken to on the phone, the one she thought would serve well be showing up, had arrived. Kate nervously glanced to everyone in the room, and the situation unfolding, as the guest walked in to see badly injured Danny and Dave, Jo breathing nervously along with Matt, and Lizzie, with tears building up.

Lizzie was the only one to look up at the new guest though. Looking back down, unable to hold the tears back anymore, she spoke, "It's been a long time," Lizzie sighed, "Miranda."
