Chapter Three:

One they way to Dewey's apartment, which he still lived in, the next morning, Marta felt happy and anxious. She couldn't wait to see the members of the band, she just wondered what seeing Summer would be like. When we got to the very familiar apartment building, Marta practically ran into it, when she got to the door of Dewey's apartment, she froze, waiting for Freddy and the girls to come, when they finally did, Marta hugged Freddy.

"You can do this" Freddy said
"I know" Marta said

Marta slowly opened the door, the first thing she saw was Dewey.

"Dewey!" Marta shrieked
"Oh, hi" Dewey said, Marta ran over and hugged him.

While Marta hugged him, standing behind Dewey, she saw Summer. Right then she let go of Dewey and ran over and hugged Summer, who hugged her back. The next thing they knew, they were both cying. Marta couldn't believe how much she had missed Summer.

"Oh, Marta.." Summer said, speechless
"I know, I did too" Marta said, Summer smiled
"Hey, Tink" Freddy said, Summer walked over and hugged him
"Hey..Where are you're daughters?" Summer asked
"In the hallway" Marta said "Jade, Jenna! Come in here!"

Jade and Jenna cautiously walked into the apartment.

"Hi, everybody" Jade said, waving her hand
"Where's Zack?" Freddy asked
"In the bathroom..He's lecturing Matt on how to be polite" Summer said
"I'll go get him" Freddy said, walking off

Summer and Marta sat on a couch, while Jade looked around the living room of the apartment. She was already bored to death. Then her Freddy came back out, with her godfather Zack and that son of theirs, Summer had just mentioned Matt. Jade was amazed, he was so hot..Jade looked at him, Matt looked back.

"Jade, Jenna..This is Matt" Freddy said
"Hi" Matt said
"Hey" Jade said

Jade and Matt shook hands. They couldn't stop looking at each other, That had never happened to Jade or Matt before, not being able to keep their eyes off someone. Matt smiled at Jade, she blushed. "Why Am I Acting Like This? He's Just Another Guy" Jade thought to herself. "She is gorgeous" Matt thought.

"Ok..Well, I guess we'll let you two get to know each other" Zack said

Just then Katie, Michelle, Marco, Eleni, Alicia, Gordon, Lawrence and Frankie all walked in at the same time, with their families. All the members of the old band we're extremely happy to see each other, while all their kids, we're just staring at them.

"Oh, I'm so happy to see you guys" Katie said, while hugging Zack
"Mom, are you ignoring us?" Anais, Alicia and Leonard's daughter, asked
"No, sweetie" Alicia said "Matt? Jade? Where are you?"
"Here" Jade and Matt said, at the same time, raising their hands.
"Jade, you look just like you're dad" Katie said
"Matt, looks like Zack" Marco said
"No..I don't" Matt said, everybody laughed, even though Matt was not trying to be funny.
"God, you guys..We need to catch up. Let's go to a bar or something" Michelle said
"Ok..Come on guys. Kids..Please, don't tear up my apartment..Instruments are in the closet and set up over there if you can play, play 'em whatever" Dewey said
"Ok" Jade said, who could play electric guitar
"Bye" Summer said, all the adults left, leaving the kids alone.

Jade walked over to Dewey's closet and grabbed a white flying-v guitar. When she got back into the living room, she plugged the guitar into an amp close by and stepped up to a microphone. She sang and played "These Dreams" by Heart, Matt joined in on the drums, which he played. When they we're done, Matt and Jade sat on Dewey's couch, while all the oher kids, talked to each other:

"So..You're a really good singer" Matt said
"Thanks" Jade said
"Where are you from?" Matt asked
"Los Angeles" Jade said "But we lived here in Jeresy till I was two, when this band broke up"
"I'm from Detroit" Matt said, Jade nodded and smiled a smile, very similar to her father's.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Marta, Freddy, Summer, Zack and everbody else we're at a bar called Lenny's Bar and Grille. They we're all sitting at the biggest table, in the bar, talking.

"You guys I totally forgot you're kids names, tell me" Summer said
"Band manager is coming back to you, huh, Tinkerbell" Freddy said
"Yeah, whatever..Freddy and Marta" Summer said
"Jade and Jenna" Marta said, annoyed, like she had always been when Summer was like this when the band first started years ago
"Zack and Summer...well, I know, but tell them" Summer said
"Matt, Hannah and David" Zack said
"Alicia and Leonard" Summer said
"Anais and Rodney" Leonard said
"Eleni and Marco" Summer said
"Kaycie and Jacob" Eleni said
"I knew that" Freddy said, raising his hand
"um..You would, doll..Leni's you're cousin, remember?" Marta said
"I'm not stupid" Freddy said, Marta rolled her eyes
"Ok..Michelle and Gordon" Summer said
"Candace" Michelle said
"Katie" Summer said
"Sammy and Skye" Katie said, smiling
"And last, but definitely not least..Lawrence" Summer said
"Preston..But he was adopted, as you know. He's 16" Lawrence said
"I really did miss you guys" Gordon said
"We all missed each other" Dewey said

So, they all sat, drinking and reliving memories, both good and bad. Marta was having a great time reminiscing till her suicide came up, that's when for some reason she felt sick to her stomach, even though she had always felt comfortable talking about it with Freddy and her close friends in California:

"Marta..Are you ok?" Dewey asked
"Yeah..Just some bad memories" Marta said
"Oh..The suicide" Katie said
"Yeah, I..I..Can't believe I did that to myself" Marta said, starting to cry.
"Blondie, don't cry" Alicia said
"I'm ok..It's just kind of hard talking about it now, I mean what if I had accomplished killing myself? I would have never had Jade or Jenna..or married Freddy" Marta said, crying still, she wiped the tears off her face "Happy memories only..Ok?"
"Yeah" Katie said

They went back to talking and having the most fun any of them had, had for years.
