A/N: I do not own the characters of Degrassi, except for the ones I created! Thank you to all who sent in reviews.
"Here you go." Mr. Raditch, principal of Degrassi, opened the double doors leading into the newly remodeled gym.
"Isn't it nice?" Jimmy Brooks walked in with a limp, breathing in the new gym smell. Physical therapy brought back the use of his legs, but it wasn't perfect, and he'd always have to use a cane.
"Beautiful." Hazel, Jimmy's wife smiled for him, sitting on the bottom row of the bleachers. She knew he loved coaching basketball at Degrassi, but it pained her heart to see the way he missed playing. Her mind wandered to the horrible "accident" in grade 11.
"I knew you'd love it." Mr. Raditch sat down next to Hazel.
"I cannot wait until the season starts. The Panthers should be very solid this year." Jimmy joined them, putting his arm around his wife.
"Especially with you as head coach." Mr. Raditch announced.
"H-head coach?" Jimmy asked shocked. "I'm just the assistant coach."
"Coach Brooks, I brought you here not just to show off the new gym, but to offer you the position of head coach. Coach Armstrong is leaving and since you are next in line, you become head coach." Mr. Raditch stood up. "I need to get back to my office. Are you fine with this?"
"Thank you." Jimmy replied. He looked over the newly varnished floor. It was all his, well not really his, but he would have some control over it...he hoped.
"Jimmy, I have to get back to work." Hazel kissed him quickly on the lips, standing up. Reaching for his hand, she helped him up. "Are you going to pick up the twins from daycare?" The twins were their four-year-old twin boy and girl, Jesse and Jenny.
"Yes." Jimmy replied, reluctantly. He loved his kids, don't get him wrong, but whenever he had to pick them up it meant Hazel would be staying late at the office.

"Come on, Marco!" Dylan Michalchuk shouted up the stairs to his life partner, Marco Del Rossi. "Paige's plane will be there before we are if you don't--"
"I'm right here." Marco bounded down the stairs, placing a black hat atop his head. Dylan gave Marco a kiss while grabbing the hat and tossing it up the stairs.
"Hey!" Marco shouted, but before he could do anything, Dylan pulled him out the door.

"There she is!" Marco shouted waving his arms frantically, trying to flag Paige outside the crowded airport. "PAIGE!" He shouted. Dylan followed, feeling slightly embarrassed at the scene he thought Marco was creating, but quickly got over it once he saw his sister.
Paige Michalchuk had moved to British Columbia, opening her own psychiatry practice upon graduating from college. All of the problems she had encountered during her days at Degrassi, she felt she was best suited.
"How's my favorite hockey player?" She said getting wrapped in a big hug by her older brother, with Marco joining in on the side.
"Good. How's my favorite sister?" Dylan looked at Paige, whom he hadn't seen in two years. She looked so serious, which was kind of unlike her.
"Busy. It feels good to actually get away for a few weeks and it will definitely be worth it to see all our old buddies at the reunion."
