"Lyndsay!" Spinelli called and ran at her cousin. The two girls hugged for a moment. "Oh, what are you doing here? I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Well, of course you know my dad is in the military so he is stationed around a lot and we have to go with him, he was stationed closer to here again so I'm back!" Lyndsay explained excitedly.

"Oh! I've missed you so much!" Spinelli exclaimed with tears streaming down her face.

"I've missed you too, girl," Lyndsay replied. The two cousins hugged again. (A/N: told ya it would be emotional!) After the two pulled away Spinelli wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.

"So what did I miss last year?" Lyndsay asked.

"Well, two years ago when you shot my dad he didn't die so he came back and, like, basically stalked me. Then the police got involved and to make a long story short they shot him. I was, of course, in shock and TJ, being a man, didn't understand how I was feeling. I ran to this exact spot to think when TJ came. We apologized and made up, but then we got into another fight and we split up. I threw the ring he had gotten me into the river and walked away. Then TJ bought me this promise ring to make it up to me. And now we're together again," Spinelli explained. Lyndsay gasped when she saw the ring.

"Oh, it's beautiful Spinelli!" Lyndsay cried.

"Thanks," Spinelli replied smiling.

"Oh you are so lucky! I want a boyfriend like TJ!" Lyndsay said. (A/N: don't we all?) Spinelli smiled even more. She had missed her cousin so much.

"Yeah well, I don't know how I got so lucky, "Spinelli replied. She really didn't know how or why she of all people ended up with TJ Detweiler, but she was glad that she did.

"Well, it really is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. And TJ is the sweetest boy a girl could have," Lyndsay said. Spinelli just nodded.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Spinelli asked.

"I don't know. Hey, let's go see Gretchen, Vince, Gus, Mikey, and, of course, TJ," Lyndsay said.

"Ok. You know you didn't really have to list all the names though, right? It would have been easier to say something like 'everyone else' or 'the rest of the gang'," Spinelli replied.

"Yeah I know. I just wanted to say the names," Lyndsay said receiving a confused look from her cousin. "I haven't said them in so long." The girls started laughing.

"Man, we laugh about anything don't we?" Spinelli said when she had stopped laughing. Lyndsay shrugged.

"Well let's go. I wanna see Gretchen first," Lyndsay said.

"Ok," Spinelli agreed. The two girls started walking towards Gretchen's house. During their walk they talked a bit.

"So, what do you think everyone will say when they see that I'm back?" Lyndsay asked curiously.

"I'm really not sure what they will say. But I am pretty sure they'll be happy to see you again," Spinelli replied. She couldn't understand why she was so happy when Lyndsay showed up, but now she was feeling kind of depressed about it. She couldn't understand why. She had missed Lyndsay so much. Now that Lyndsay is actually here, Spinelli is depressed? Is there no pleasing her?

"We're almost there," Spinelli said quietly.

"What's wrong?" Lyndsay asked. Her cousin had just suddenly gotten quiet, and Spinelli didn't usually do that.

"Nothing. I'm just a little tired I guess. All that shrieking and jumping around wore me out, I guess," Spinelli replied, hoping Lyndsay would believe that. Lyndsay was about to say something when Spinelli stopped her by saying, "We're here." Spinelli knocked on the door of Gretchen Grundler's house. Gretchen soon answered it.

"Hey Spinelli," Gretchen said. She didn't see Lyndsay at first because she was hiding. Suddenly Lyndsay jumped out. "LYNDSAY!"

"Surprise!" Spinelli and Lyndsay called. Gretchen and Lyndsay hugged.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Gretchen asked.

"My dad was stationed closer to here again, so we had to move, and here I am," Lyndsay replied.

"Oh. That rocks!" Gretchen exclaimed before turning her attention to Spinelli. "We can bring her to the junior year picnic tomorrow and surprise everyone."

"That's a great idea, Gretch," Spinelli replied, trying to sound enthusiastic. Apparently her attempt failed because she got a questioning look from Gretchen in return. Gretchen decided not to say anything in front of Lyndsay though because Gretchen knew what was wrong and she also knew that Spinelli didn't want Lyndsay to know that she knew.

"The eleventh graders are having a picnic?" Lyndsay asked.

"Yeah. It's tomorrow. TJ is picking me up at 3:30 and then we're coming over here to meet Gretchen and Vince. You could miraculously just happen to show up and surprise him, though," Spinelli replied.

"Great idea you guys!" Lyndsay agreed.

"Yeah well. We had better go now Gretchen. We gotta go see all the others, too," Spinelli said.

"Ok. See you two tomorrow," Gretchen replied. The girls waved and Spinelli and Lyndsay made their way to Vince's house. Then they went to Gus' house. After that they went to Mikey's house. At each house they got pretty much to same reaction.

"Well that's everyone if the plan is to surprise TJ tomorrow at the picnic, "Lyndsay said when they left Mikey's.

"Yeah. We can go home now," Spinelli replied.

"Ok. See you tomorrow," Lyndsay called over her shoulder as she walked away back to her house. Spinelli waved, sighed, and turned around to walk home and cry herself to sleep that night.
