Emma put the pendent on as Snake and Joey Jeremiah carried Emma's things upstairs. Angela was keeping Jack occupied by watching Ella Enchanted. Angela was doing everything she could not to miss Craig who took off with Downtown Sasquatch on their first actual tour! Emma knew how she felt. She missed Craig, too. He was her best friend and they were there for each other after the shooting three years prior. Craig was an emotional wreck after seeing Jimmy lying on the floor and Emma was a wreck as well but together they helped each other through the rough time.

"Craig told me to give you this," Joey said, handing Emma a box. "He said not to open it until you get on the bus."

Emma nodded and stuffed it into her duffle bag that she was taking on the bus with her. A large bus was parked out front and the magician, Isaac, also known as "The Amazing Tripp" was playing "pick a card, any card" with Spike and Caitlin Ryan.

"Emma!" Isaac said, throwing his hands up and out of one of his sleeves a dove flew out. "Damn, there goes another one."

Emma laughed and walked over to Isaac, who out of another one of his sleeves pulled out a bouquet of flowers and handed them to her. "This is so sweet," Caitlin said. "It's like watching a romance novel unfolding."

When Emma took the flowers they exploded into different colored butterflies. Spike and Caitlin's jaws dropped. "Quit it!" Joey said. "You're making the married men look bad."

"Hey, you're not married yet," Snake, told him.

"Come next month and I will be." Joey pulled Caitlin to her feet and started dancing with her on the lawn.

"I'm sorry that I can't be there!" Emma said.

"It's ok, honey," Caitlin told her. "We'll send you a tape."

Emma nodded.

Isaac pushed up his sleeves where he had half a dozen watched, one being broken and another being a sundial and said, "We better get going."

"Alright," Emma replied, nodding. She hugged her mother, stepfather, and brother as he came outside holding Isaac's dove.

"Watch this," Isaac said. He covered the dove in his hand and smashed his hand down and the dove disappeared.

"How did you do that?" Jack asked.

"A magician never tells."

Jack looked disappointed but Isaac handed him a box of The Amazing Tripp's EZ Tricks for B-ginners. "Thank you!" Jack said.

Emma smiled and climbed onto the bus, without looking back.

The Legend

Jane with her hair up in neat curls took off downstairs, holding her skirts. She had told Kari to choose one of her dresses and had some of the servants help her put it on. Kari was going to be Jane's guest-of-honor at the ball.

"Robert," Jane called spotting him, standing in front of the large mirror looking handsome as ever in a white suit.

Robert (a year older than she) turned and looked up at her. She took his breath away as she continued down the steps. "You look beautiful," he told her meeting her halfway across the marble parlor. "As always."

Jane smiled and blushed. "And you look handsome. As always," she told him.

He leaned down to kiss her but stopped as Lady Mary, Jane's mother, walked over. "It's time for the ball," she said. She took Jane by the hand. "Oh, Jane you look lovely."

"Thank you Mother," Jane said, smiling.

Lady Mary smiled and turned to the large door where there was orchestral music erupting from the inside. Her husband, Sir Ronald, was at the door waiting for her, he smiled and took Lady Mary's arm in his.

"Come darling," Robert said, holding out his own arm. Jane smiled and linked her arm in his and they walked into the ballroom.

The room sparkled in silvers and hues of gold. The attendees to the ball turned and applauded to Jane and Robert. Jane smiled at Robert and they started to descend the steps.

Meanwhile, Robert's closest friend, Kenny was walking into the parlor. Kenny, himself, was only a stable boy cleaning out horse muck daily. He looked up as a dark haired maiden walked downstairs; her golden skin and her bright smile were beautiful in her pale blue dress. His heart stopped beating. But whom was he kidding? How could anyone as beautiful as this girl fall in love with someone like him?

Kari saw the boy at the bottom of the stairs staring up at her. She blushed and continued downstairs in Jane's dress. She'd just hate herself if she ruined such a pretty dress as this. Kenny walked toward her and met her at the bottom step. He took her hand in his and leaned down and kissed, his eyes focused on her lips, which he hoped he'd get to kiss very soon.

"My lady," he said.

She smiled and let him pull her down the stairs and escort her into the ball.

TBC…

A/N: I chose Jay to be "Kenny" because I think it'd be hilarious to see him shoveling out stables. Hehe, just kidding. I also like the Manny/Jay pairing and it will be added to my list of favorite Degrassi couples. But tell me what you think of it?
