(IN SANDY AND KIRSTEN'S HOUSE, YEAR IS 2012)

"I'd like to propose a toast to everyone being home!" Sandy said raising his glass.

"I'll drink to that." Seth said.

Everyone was at Sandy and Kirsten's to celebrate everyone's fine health. Jimmy, Haley, Seth, Summer, Ryan, Marrissa, Sandy, and Kirsten were all having a steak dinner. Liz, Madi, Scott, Ivy, and Ella were all in the other room watching TV and playing around.

"Ryan are you coming into the office tomorrow?" Kirsten asked.

"It's only been two weeks Kirsten." Marrissa said.

"I'm fine Marrissa, and yes Kirsten I am." Ryan said.

"Ryan are you sure?" Marrissa asked.

"Honey I'm fine." Ryan assured Marrissa.

"Marrissa are you doing that photo shoot tomorrow?" Kirsten asked.

"Ya, 11 right?" Marrissa double-checked.

"Yep." Kirsten said.

"Who's watching your kids Rissa?" Summer questioned.

"I don't really know." Marrissa answered truthfully.

"I can watch them." Summer offered.

"Aren't you working Sum?" Marrissa asked.

"No Seth and I agreed I'm staying with Ella for a couple of days." Summer said.

"And you really want my three kids on top of your two?" Marrissa said incredulously.

"I could help her," Haley offered.

"Really?" Summer and Marrissa said at the same time.

"Ya its no trouble at all." Haley assured before they could ask.

"Okay." Marrissa said.

"Haley you can come to my place around 10." Summer said.

"Ya, and I'll drop Scott and the twins off at 10:30."

"Ok then it's settled." Haley said.

(AT THE AIRPORT YEAR IS 2022, TEN YEARS LATER)

"Mom, I'll be fine, really." Madi assured a crying Marrissa.

"You're going to Europe! Alone!" Marrissa cried.

"For a year!" Madi said.

"What if you like it and don't come back?"

"At the most I'll stay for college! Then I'll be home."

"That's five years!"

"Mom, I'll talk to you every day and see you tons, okay?"

"Okay..." Marrissa said unsure.

"I've gotta go." Madi said.

"Okay bye sweetie," Ryan said.

"Bye daddy, bye mom, bye sis."

"I'm more than a sister," Liz started.

"I'm a twin.' They said at the same time and then Madi turned and walked away.

"Ryan, is she really leaving?" Marrissa asked.

"Ya babe." Ryan said putting one arm around her and one arm around his Lizbit walking out of the airport with the two crying women.

(ON THE PHONE WITH MADI AND MARRISSA, ONE YEAR LATER)

"Hey sweetheart." Marrissa said.

"Hey mom, are you guys coming out next weekend?" Madi asked.

"Yep."

"And Ivy is really staying with me for a year of high school abroad?"

"Yep."

"How are aunt Summer and uncle Seth?"

"Worse than I was."

"How is Ivy?"

"Excited."

"And Scott? I know that they were really good friends."

"He's taking it the worst, that's for sure."

"I'm sure he'll be okay."

"Yep, he will be."

"Let's hurry."

"Deal."

"Oh and Liz says hi."

"Thanks."

"How is Scott?" Summer asked Marrissa.

"Not good." Marissa admitted.

"Oh."

"Him and Ivy were really close, he misses her already."

"I do too."

"I should really get home."

"Why?"

"Scott's depressed, his sister's are both gone and so is Ivy I need to comfort him."

"Okay I'll see you later."

"Bye."

Marrissa walked out of Summer's and down the street to her place.

"What?" Scott asked from the living room.

"How are you doing?"

"Fine."

"Do you miss her?"

"Duh."

"Do you want to go to Europe?"

"No."

"You can talk to her very day."

"I can't protect her there like I can here."

"Why do you need to protect her?"

"I guess I don't, but I want to."

"Why?"

"Because she trusts to easily."

"Does she?"

"Yes."

"How do you know?"

"Because of Jared."

"Jared?"

"Last year."

"The drunk?"

"Ya, who crashed them."

"She was in the hospital for a week."

"Yep."

"I remember."

"She trusted him way to easily I don't want that to happen again, she's my best friend."

"I know."

"I just wish I could do something."

"Like what?"

"I don't know mom, I don't know." And with that Scot stood and walked away.

"Why couldn't he?"

"He's with Lisa."

"Oh."

"He's said sorry he couldn't come."

"He was here last weekend, so it doesn't really matter,"

"To him it does."

"Well, Will is getting suspicious of him so..."
