"So Tommy are you ready for tomorrow?" Chuckie Finster asked his best friend over the phone.
"Yeah Chuck- if you can live through it so can we" Tommy Pickles replied.
Chuckie and Tommy where in fact talking about Tommy's first official day at Boston University which would be the next day.
"Ha, ha very funny" Chuckie said sarcastically, "so what time are you thinking of driving up?"
"Hopefully 8:30, it won't take that long to head up there will it?"
"Nah, it only takes about 45 minutes"
"Are you taking Kimi up?" Tommy asked referring to Chuckie's sister Kimi.
"Nope, she said she would rather follow me so she could have her own car on campus, we should be leaving around 9"
"Hopefully?"
"You know how Kimi can be" Chuckie said simply.
"Boy do I ever, hey Chuck I gotta go, I promised Lil I'd call her tonight and I'm nowhere near finished packing"
"Alright, I've gotta finish packing as well." The two said there goodbyes and hung up.
Almost as soon as Chuckie had Kimi came in.
"You off the phone yet?" Kimi half asked/ half demanded, "I want to ring Phil"
"I'm off, but you'll probably get a engaged tone as Tommy was just about to ring Lil" Chuckie said with a slight grin.
"God I'm NEVER going to get through" Kimi complained while leaving the room. Chuckie held back laughter, Kimi was probably going to be right as Tommy and Lil managed to spend hours on the phone if they could get away with it.
Chuckie then picked up a recent photo featuring the group and smiled- since the earthquake they had all changed quite a bit- although in some ways more on the inside then outside.
Tommy now had his hair much like Carson's of Queer eye for the straight guy, although it was still black, but now had red natural red streaks through it. (Which only showed up if he had it at that length.) In the photo he wore baggy jeans and had a green hoody. He was now rather athletic built and was at a height of 6'0.
Phil Deville in comparison to Tommy hadn't changed at all- he had just grown taller. He had worn a white tee-shirt with ivory cargos.
Lil Deville had changed her hairstyle so it was shoulder-length with blonde streaks through it. In the photo she had worn a purple leather jacket with a white tee-shirt and flared jeans. She also preferred to have her hair tied back and was the same height as Phil at 5'8.
Kimi wore her hair much like her mothers and that day she had worn a pink tee-shirt with a black skirt. She like Lil was thin and was at a height of 5'6.
Dil Pickles now wore his hair in a ponytail but other than that he had changed very little. In the photo he had worn an outfit similar to Phil's but had a black Nike tee-shirt.
Angelica Pickles had also changed her hairstyle. She now wore it like her mothers in a high ponytail, with a purple scrunchie. Her hair almost reached down to her bottom with her hair tied up. She had worn a purple blouse and a jean skirt.
Timmy McNutty looked the same and hadn't really changed anything.
Chuckie however looked very much like his father and had worn a similar outfit to Dil. He also now had very similar glasses to Chas Finster and was also the same height.
Chuckie sighed looking at the photo and placed it in the box, continuing his packing so he could move the next day.

Tommy slowly opened his eyes and went to whack his alarm clock. He yawned three times exactly and briefly wondered why he was getting up that early again and then remembered about college. Tommy slowly got up and got showered and dressed. He then packed his remaining things (which included his alarm clock) and went downstairs.
Almost as soon as he did however he received a hug from his mother.
"Oh my babies going to college today" Didi Pickles cried.
"Mum chill, you've still got Dil" Tommy pointed out trying to get out of the hug that she still had him in.
"I know I just can't believe it" Finally Didi let go of Tommy and he sat down at the table- a smell of pancakes then filled his nose.
"We're having pancakes?" Tommy asked, surprised. They never had pancakes.
"Yes, I wanted to make a special send off for my baby boy" Once again Tommy sighed. Before Didi went to give Tommy another hug Dil thankfully chose that moment to come down the stairs.
"Hey Tomster you leaving today right?"
"Yea you know that Dil" Tommy pointed out.
"What time?" Stu Pickles asked yawning as he followed Dil soon after.
"About 8:30 hence why I woke up so early, speaking of which why are you all up so early?" Tommy asked in the middle of a yawn.
"We wanted to say good bye to you and have one last proper breakfast" Stu explained.
"Here you go Tommy" Didi said giving Tommy a plate of pancakes.
"Thanks Mum"
"How much packing have you still got to do?" Stu asked while cutting up some of his food.
"I've basically finished, all I have to do now is put the remaining things that I had to use this morning in the car and then I'll be ready" Tommy's parents had gotten him a blue mustang as a graduation present and he adored it. Tommy took a last mouthful of his pancakes and put his plate up on the bench.
"Dil are you okay with me washing?" Tommy asked starting the tap for the dishes.
"Don't worry about it Tommy, I'll wash and Dil will dry" Stu said and Tommy blinked.
"Thanks Dad"
"No problem you better finish packing your car"
"Yeah I guess I better"
Outside
"Hey Tommy how's the packing going?" Lil asked giving Tommy a quick kiss before he replied.
"I've nearly finished loading the car- you?"
"Same- Phil however"
"Say no more I know Phil"
"What time are you leaving?" Lil asked.
"About 8:30, Chuckie said he will hopefully be leaving at 9. What about you and Phil?"
"Hopefully 8:30 but most likely 9"
"You never know it could be half-way" Tommy joked.
"I'll believe it when I see it" Lil joked back, Tommy laughed.
"I better get back to it, I'll see you up there"
"Yep what room are you in again?" Lil asked slyly.
"C20, same as Phil's" Tommy reminded her. He then went back inside to get the remaining of his boxes.

Tommy looked up and down the hallway. For the life of him he couldn't figure out where room C20 was. He had already spent 15 minutes looking for the stupid dorm.
"Yo, Tommy need some help man?" Tommy turned to where the voice was and saw Timmy coming up to him.
"Hey Timmy, what are you doing here?" Tommy asked relieved to see a friend, "somehow I don't think your looking for a lost little freshman" Tommy joked.
"Well in away I am," Timmy admitted and laughed at Tommy's surprised look, "I'm your RA and was waiting at your dorm as Ange said that you where coming up at 8:30, but when you hadn't turned up at 20 past 9 I started to wonder" Timmy explained.
"Ah… so where is my dorm?" Tommy asked.
"Follow me."

"Alright Tommy, here's your room" Timmy said standing in front of the door.
"Great I can finally drop these and get my other boxes." Tommy grinned.
"I'll just introduce you to your other roommate and then leave you to it" Timmy said knocking on the door.
