Disclaimer: I do not own RFR or it's character. If I did do you REALLY think I'd be writing fan fiction? I didn't think so.
LooNEYtic- Hey, this fic is already taken! J/k, you can totally marry it if you want. I mean I know I've always wanted to commit to inanimate objects.
LilyR2- Thanks Thea, you're always there for me and probably too nice to say that my writing sucks! You'll just have to red then you'll see what happens next/
XxXImaginaryXxX- Audrey was Travis's GF in the show, but she broke up with him (what and idiot she is). In my fic they have been going out since collage and are now engaged.
Chapter nine-Missing and memories
It was the day of the reunion. Things had been fairly normal the past two days. Well more civil than normal but it was something. Last night Travis and Audrey had dinner with her parents and told them the big news. To their amazement the Quilans took it a lot better than they had expected. There was the initial shock but before they knew it Audrey's mother started talking about wedding dresses and her father was patting Travis on the back and suggesting they had a cigar to celebrate. Things were surprisingly fine.
Now back to today. Today they were going to the warehouse. They had all been a couple of times since high school but never all of them together. The identities of Smog, Question Mark, Pronto, and Shadylane were still one, well the only one, of Roscoe's greatest mysteries. The last show had been ten years ago. The day of graduation. That was another one of those days when everything changed.
Ray and Travis struggled with the door, it had rusted and became difficult to open. With one last shove and some help from Lily the door finally burst open. They heard a car pull up and Robbie quickly walked down the stairs. "Sorry I'm late, the rental car doesn't do great on the back roads" He explained "It's ok but come on already" Lily said. They all walked though the door and the memories came rushing at them. RFR's first day, the time Travis and Lily kissed, Ray finally asking Lily out, Robbie bringing Kim there, the final show and many more things.
They slowly walked to their old places and took their seats. Travis inspected the equipment, he had left everything there. He hit the switch and the blue light flickered on. He turned it off and looked at his friends. "Everything still works" he announced to them. "Should we?" Robbie asked, holding up a pair of old headphones. "I don't know" Lily said looking around the room "I kind of want to remember our last show the way it was" she added. Ray nodded in agreement, Robbie looked a little disappointed but agreed as well. Travis just sat in his booth, a serene look on his face. This was a place where they all belonged, coming back here made everything...better. In some ways better, some ways worse. They knew high school really had been the best years if their lives. They knew nothing could compare to it.
Travis was the first to get up, Lily the last. They all walked to the door but stopped and looked around for a minute. "We should have come back before" Lily said breaking the silence. "I missed this" Ray said not sure what he was referring to. They walked out the door and closed it behind them, not knowing if it would be the last time for them to do so.

Lily was in her hotel room putting on her shoes. In five minutes they were to leave for the reunion. She was wearing a pale blue cocktail dress that matched her eyes. She had always thought she looked like a freak of nature in a dress but Audrey and her backup singers had convinced her to buy it while in New York. The brand was Gucky or Gucchy or something like that. Audrey made a big fuss over it but Lily really didn't care.
There was a knock on the door and she opened it to see Travis looking very handsome in a suit. "So she got you in a suit?" Lily asked, referring to Audrey. "Yeah. So, she got you in a dress?" He asked her, they laughed and headed out the door. "We're meeting Robbie and Audrey in the lobby." Travis explained "What about" Lily started "Ray and Sanna already left" Travis finished for her. "Oh. Ok then" she replied. The elevator door opened and they spotted Audrey and Robbie. They walked over and Travis took Audrey's hand, Robbie whistled at Lily and she punched him. "So much for that feminine thing" he said with a laugh then linked arms with her. They hopped in the car and were off.

Robbie and Lily entered the doors of the school gym. The place was covered in blue and gold, Roscoe's school colors. Robbie felt a hand on his shoulder and a breathy voice filled his ears. "Robbie MGrath, long times no see." The not-so-mystery woman said. Lily raised her eyebrows and Robbie turned around. The woman was none other than Judy Douglas, the mistake Robbie made in Ninth Grade then again in Eleventh. 'Judy, hi. Uh, good to see you" he replied. "It's great to see you. Are you and Lily...." She asked, Lily filling in the blank. "Oh no! Robbie and I aren't together. Well we are, but only as friends." Lily explained with a laugh. Her and Robbie. As if. "Oh, well than." Judy replied sounding very interested in that information. "Would you like to dance?" she asked but had already grabbed his hand and was dragging him off to the dance floor. He looked at Lily with a startled look on his face. She laughed and shrugged then went in search of a drink.
She found the refreshment table and Lee Johns found her. He was, as Audrey had mentioned, newly single and he kept hitting on her. Someone had spiked the punch, apparently for old time's sake. Lily kept trying to brush him off but nothing was working. She felt someone put their arms around her waist. "Hey where have you been? I was looking all over for you." Ray said to her in a loud voice. "What are you doing?" She hissed at him "Do you want him to go away or not?" He whispered in her ear. Seeing what he was doing Lily played along and giggled as if he was whispering sweet nothing in her ear. "You didn't mention you were here with him." Lee said to Lily than walked away. Ray let go of her and shook his head. "Some guys just don't get no." He said. "Oh, like you're any different?" "What? When has anyone ever said no to me?" "I cannot believe you. Junior year, Sonya Peremaz. You asked her out at least once a week and she kept saying no. I swear she got a restraining order put on you." Lily said with a laugh. He just shrugged "I was young, I was dumb." "Not much has changed." She said with a smirk then went off to find Audrey. There was only so much time alone with him that she could take. "Lily! Wait!" He called after her but she just kept walking. "Sanna left!". That stopped her dead in her tracks.
And now you all want to kill me for the fabtastic cliffy right?! Right?! Lol, ok so the only way to find out what happens is to flood me with reviews, right? Right?! And now you wish that I would just shut up and go away, right? Right?!
