A/N: Hey guys!! Thanks to all my reviewers!! Love ya guys!!! I am so excited cause I got the best ideas for this story!! Ok, so here goes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hurry up, Anne!" Thomas yelled to his sister who was running behind him. Thomas was terribly eager to get to Christian's garret, and Anne huffed and puffed all the way behind his fast feet.

"Thomas! Wait for me!" She called up the hall as she slowed to a walk. Thomas didn't wait, however, he just kept going. The red velvet carpet rubbed against his feet. His shoes were echoing down the hall.

Thomas came to a halt at Christian's door. He took a couple huffs for breath before turning the knob. Thomas jogged into the room. Christian's depressingly glum face suddenly transformed into a most excited one. Whenever Thomas and or Anne came to see him, it always cheered him up. It was as if they were his own kids. Christian loved children.

"How are you doing, Thomas?" Christian asked, embracing Thomas.

"Good," he replied, still slightly out of breath. Anne abruptly appeared before Christian and Thomas. Christian then let go of Thomas and embraced Anne. Anne stepped back as Christian beamed at both of them.

"What have you two been up to lately?" Christian cheerfully questioned.

"Nothing," Anne plainly replied, plopping down on Christian's musty moth-eaten bed.

Christian nodded at them and talked with them a bit. Although, Christian was still recovering from the hurt and despair that Satine has cast onto him, Thomas and Anne always seemed to bring the fun out of him, like the older days when he was with Satine; even if it was just for a little bit.

"Christian, do you want to come out and play bat and ball with me?" Thomas requested, his face overflowing with fervidness. Christian chuckled to himself.

"Sure. Do you want to come Anne?" Christian asked her, grabbing his coat and hat. "It's okay if you don't, you can just stay here," he stated.

"I'll come, but I won't play," Anne replied in a 'proper lady' sort of tone. Christian chuckled again and put his arm around her shoulders.

He led them out the door and snapped it shut behind them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Would you like me to go out and look or them, dear?" Snape firmly asked, coming up behind Satine and placing his arms on her shoulders. Satine, who was blankly staring out the dusty window, sighed deeply and shook her head. She had no doubt that her kids were safe after all, they said they were going out with a friend and they did that almost every night!

"I'm sure they're fine," Satine replied, standing up from the window and walking to her red sofa. Snape sighed too and sat down on the sofa's arm. He grasped Satine's hand in his and kissed it. Satine forced a smile on him before turning her head away and resting her chin on her hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey kids! I'm going to this café right here, keep still, I'll be back shortly!" Christian called from across the field, he was pointing at a petite pink shop to the left of where the kids were sitting. Anne snapped her fingers to catch Thomas' attention away from the ball and bat he was practicing with.

"Thomas, come HERE!" Anne tried to yell while keeping it in a whisper. Thomas staggered over and sat down on the bench that Anne was sitting on.

"What, Anne?" Thomas asked, annoyed and also in a whisper.

"You know how mom has been really depressed lately?" Anne asked, leaning into him closely. Thomas nodded his head. "Well, I think I know what's bothering her and what we can do to cheer her up," Anne declared.

"What?" Thomas asked impatiently.

"It's Christian, we have to get them to meet again," Anne whispered brilliantly.

"That's perfect!" Thomas was breathless, it was the perfect idea. "How will we do that, though?"

"Easy, we just have to ask mom if we can bring a guest to dinner and then tell Christian that mother wants him to come,"

"But, one thing I don't get,"

"What?"

"How will they fall in love again?"

"Well, I guess we'll leave them alone and, well-er- they used to be in love, so how hard could it be?" Anne beamed at him as Thomas nodded in agreement.

"When?"

"Tomorrow night,"

"What's tomorrow night?" Christian had come back carrying a latté and three doughnuts. [A/N: Don't know if they had any of them back in 1909, but then again, I really don't know much about anything] Thomas grinned wide and snatched the doughnut. Anne took the doughnut, but was too nervous to eat it, she really hoped her plan would work and meanwhile, it was all she could concentrate on.

"Did you two hear me? What's tomorrow night?" Christian enthusiastically asked. Thomas stared expressionlessly at him, but Anne spoke up.

"Mother wants you to come to dinner at our house,"

"Oh, well, tell her It'd be my pleasure," Christian replied, glowing. Anne and Thomas smirked at each other quickly as they ate.

Then, suddenly, a thought struck Anne, what would they do about Snape?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thomas, are you almost ready?" Anne called from her room.

"Yes, Anne," he called back. Satine smiled to herself, she loved it when her kids got along. [A/N: As do most of us, well, those with kids, LOL]

Satine was preparing a big bowl of pasta for her special guest tonight. Satine was always too over-excited to meet new people and always went out of her way to please them. [A/N: Not by the way she used to, LOL]

Anne slowly walked out of her room dressed in a lavender blue no-sleeve dress. Her hair was pulled back behind her head. Thomas came out dressed in a nice black suit with her hair combed back. Satine was flabbergasted by the way the children had decided to present themselves.

"Well, well, well children, this guest must be something special," Satine remarked. For once, she was truly happy again. Her kids meant the world to her and finally, Snape had left her alone when he went back home to London to teach at the school.

Satine chuckled and mixed the pasta sauce. Thomas and Anne stood excitedly by in the den, waiting for their guest to arrive. Soon, there plan would come into action…..3.…2.…..1.…

There was a soft knock on the door. Satine looked suspiciously at the kids, who were softly giggling and refusing to get the door.

"I guess I'll get it then," Satine chortled. She swung the door open and for the first time in two months (since he had been punched by Snape) she stood face-to-face with Christian.

"Hello, Satine," Christian, who also appeared to be surprised, said softly, handing her a bouquet of flowers. Satine smiled and took them, sweetly smiling back at him. Christian nervously looked down at the floor and shuffled his feet. Satine took her hand and lifted his chin.

"Thank-you," Satine replied sympathetically. She closed her eyes and turned her head slightly. She leaned closer to him, their lips almost touching…………..
