Emma Nelson parked her new Mercedes in front of her condo. She walked up to the elevator, she lived on the top floor, and it was too far to walk. She opened the door, and saw Jade and her friend watching a movie on HBO.
"How was your day sweetie?" Emma asked.
"Fine mom," replied Jade. "You have some mail."
Emma picked up the mail laying on the coffee table. "Bill, bill, letter from Manny, omigosh!" Emma screeched as she came across the Degrassi letter.
Emma Nelson,
You are invited to your 10-year high school reunion of Degrassi Community School. It is July 6th through 8th. Children and spouses are encouraged. We look forward to seeing you there.

A smile crept over Emma's face.
"What is it mom?" asked Jade.
"My high school reunion," said Emma.
"Am I coming?" asked Jade.
"Of course," said Emma. Suddenly, the smile fell from Emma's face. He might be there. How would she tell him? She couldn't, she wouldn't. She just wouldn't go. But she wanted to!
"What's wrong mom?" asked Jade noticing her mom's face.
"Nothing," replied Emma, shaking her head. "So what movie are you watching?" asked Emma putting the smile back on her face and sitting on the couch.
Scene changeManny York stood over her toilet, puking. She had no idea why, though. She stood up, and rinsed her mouth out. She changed into jeans and a red tank top. She put her hair into a ponytail, and walked into the kitchen to see her husband making pancakes.
"Morning," she said, taking in the smell of pancakes.
"Morning," he replied. "The kids aren't up yet, what's on the agenda for the day?"
"I'm shooting scenes 6-10 for Never Gonna Give You Up," she replied. "You?"
"I'm just staying home today and working on my next act," he replied. "So the kids can stay here today. I heard you puking, are you getting sick?"
"I hope not," replied Manny. "Now would not be a good time."
"It's ok baby," JT said, "I'll take care of you."
"You're so sweet," she replied. She walked up and kissed him until they heard a chorused "Eww!"
Manny and JT pulled apart to see their two adopted children looking at them. They both laughed until Jay's cell went off.
"Hello?" he said into the phone.
"Yo," came Jay's voice.
"Hey dude," JT said, "what's up?"
"You going to the reunion?" Jay asked.
"What reunion?" JT asked. He saw Manny mouth reunion, but he just shrugged.
"There's a Degrassi reunion," replied Jay, "you're free on the days they're having it. You wanna go?"
"Definitely," replied JT, "I'll hafta talk to Manny though." JT hung up with his agent, and friend, and proceeded to talk about the reunion with Manny.
Scene changeLiberty Van-Zandt pulled up to her apartment building, after another tiring day of work. She went to the row of mailboxes and inserted her key into the number 213. She pulled out the stack of mail from her mailbox.
"Junk, bill, junk," she muttered to herself, sifting through her mail as she climbed to the second story of her apartment building, "Degrassi?" She unlocked her apartment door, and stepped in, throwing all the mail on the counter, except for the letter from Degrassi. Her fingers went to the seal of the letter, and she slit it with her fingers.
Liberty Van-Zandt,
You are invited to your 10-year high school reunion of Degrassi Community School. It is July 6th through 8th. Children and spouses are encouraged. We look forward to seeing you there.

Liberty was so excited, except for two things, she didn't have any children or a spouse, and the boy who broke her heart would be there. Putting these feelings behind her, she reached for the phone to call the airport for ticket reservations.
Scene change"Bonjour madamoiselle," Paige heard her maid say as she walked through the door.
"Bonjour Emilie," Paige replied. "Ou est Sophie?" Where is Sophie?
"Elle est dans le cuisine (she is in the kitchen)," replied Emilie.
"Merci," Paige thanked her maid, and went into the kitchen. "Salut Sophie (hi Sophie)," she said.
"Bonjour maman," Sophie replied, pulling her mom into an embrace.
"Now Sophie," Paige said, "remember, I told you to speak English when you talk to me. I did not just teach it to you, so you'd never use it."
"Yes maman," replied Sophie, with a French accent. "You have mail. There is one from this place called Degrassi."
"Really? Where?" Paige asked. Sophie handed her a letter and Paige opened it. Excitement flooded through her as she read, but it was quickly lost as she realized no one would want her there.
"Oh well, I'm going anyway," Paige thought aloud.
"Quoi madamoiselle?" asked her chef.
"Pas du tout (it is nothing)," Paige replied. "Sophie, go pack, we're going to Toronto in a week. Sophie obeyed her mother and left to pack, while Paige took out her cell to call her best friend, Terri.
Scene changeHazel Brooks was at the kitchen counter, making sandwiches for two of her three children, when she saw the mail truck pass by. Hazel placed the bologna sandwiches and apple juice in front of Anthony and Stephanie, and went to check the mail.
She walked out of her house and opened the mailbox to find two lone letters. Both of them were from Degrassi, one for her, and one for Jimmy. She ripped the seal of the envelope and took out her letter. She squealed with joy as she read the letter.
She walked over to her phone to call Jimmy; he was in Miami for a game. "Jimmy Brooks," answered a deep voice.
"Hi hun," said Hazel.
"Hey baby," he replied, "what's up?"
"You feel up for a trip?" she asked.
"Huh?" he said, confused.
"Degrassi reunion is in a week," she replied, her voice full of excitement, "you want to go?"
"Of course," replied Jimmy. "I'll call the airlines as soon as we hang up."
"Okay," Hazel said, "I'll see you in two days?"
"Yep, can't wait," replied Jimmy.
"I love you," said Hazel.
"Love you too," replied Jimmy. "Bye."
Scene changeTerri heard her cell playing the tune of D'Avignon, and picked it up. "Bonsoi?" she said into the phone.
"Hey Ter, it's me," her best friend Paige said.
"Salut (hello)," said Terri, "qu'est-ce qui se passe (what's up)?"
"Well, the Degrassi 11 year reunion is in a week," said Paige, "and you can speak English to me."
"Sorry," apologized Terri, "I forget sometimes. 11 year reunion? Cool. Are you going?"
"Only if you are," replied Paige.
"But I'd feel out of place," complained Terri.
"Come on, I'm not going without you, and I really want to go," Paige said.
"Okay," Terri said. She knew Paige would rope her into it somehow anyway, so she might as well just give in now.
"Thank you so much, Ter!" Paige squealed, and hung up.
Terri sighed; she didn't really want to go. She went to go tell Jacques and Christophe, then get the tickets.
Scene changeAshley awoke to the sound of her husband, the viscount, coughing next to her. He was really sick. She turned over to stare warily at him. She didn't marry him because he was nobility, she loved him, she really did, but he was very sick.
Ashley sighed and got up to take a shower. Afterwards, she changed into the clothes that had been laid out for her by the maid. She went into the room, to see her husband, and father of her child, coughing worse than before. She called for medical help, and the doctor rushed in.
Ashley sat in her daughter's bedroom, caressing her cheek, waiting to hear from the doctor.
"Ashley Smythe," the doctor called. Ashley walked over to him. "I'm sorry, but the viscount has passed on."
Ashley said nothing, but nodded grimly, and walked back into Grace's bedroom. She would not cry.
Scene changeEllie Nash was sitting on her toilet waiting for the results of her pregnancy test. She seriously hoped she wasn't pregnant. She had all the symptoms; missed period, vomiting, eating more than usual.
Why did she have to go to that party? Why did she have to sleep with that- that- person who wasn't her fiancé? What was that annoying buzzing? Oh, right the timer.
Ellie got up from her bed and walked into the bathroom, she picked up the stick. Positive. Damn.
"Honey?" Craig called. "You up?"
Ellie plastered on a fake smile and went into where he was in the living room.
"Guess what," he said.
"I give up," said Ellie, she was really not in the mood for joking around right now.
"Our 11 year high school reunion is in a week!" said Craig, a little disappointed that she didn't guess.
A genuine one replaced Ellie's fake smile.
"I knew you'd be happy," Craig said. "Well, I have to get to work, I'm photographing a wedding today." He kissed her on the cheek, grabbed his equipment, and left.
Ellie sat on her couch, and started flipping through the channels. She actually was excited. Suddenly, a thought came into her head. He might be there, the one with which she'd cheated on Craig. She let out a groan; she couldn't get out of it. At least, not without a ton of questioning, which she did not want.
Scene change
"Hey babe," Sean greeted his girlfriend, Nicole.
"Hey," she replied kissing him. "Guess what Heather Sinclair told me," she said.
"What?" he asked.
"You're supposed to guess, silly!" she said.
"Hmmmm…," Sean said, "Mickey Mouse is coming to town?"
Nicole cocked an eyebrow. "You're strange," she said. "Anyway, there's a Degrassi reunion in a week!"
"But you didn't go to Degrassi," he said.
"I know," she replied, "but you did."
Sean sighed, "You know I don't like that place, Nicole."
"Oh, come on," she begged. "You know you want to."
"Actually I don't," he insisted.
"Please, do it for me," she whined, giving him the puppy dog face, that he couldn't resist.
"Oh, all right," Sean sighed.
"Yay!" she squealed with joy. "And for a treat, you get this." Nicole planted a passionate kiss on his lips.
Scene changeToby was in his office, sketching the rough draft of his newest idea for a computer. He had been doing this for about an hour and a half, and his hand was getting cramped. He decided he'd break for lunch, and go home.
Toby went through the drive through of a subway getting a six inch hoagie, and a coke. Then he pulled his jeep up to his apartment. He stopped by the mailbox to get the bills, and went inside.
Toby ate his lunch, as he sorted out his mail, making a list of everything he had to pay off. He froze when he found a letter from Degrassi. He slit the seal and took out the letter, reading each word with excitement. He couldn't wait! His 10 year reunion.
He wondered what everyone was doing. He re-read the part that said spouses are encouraged, and figured that girlfriends were too. He reached for his phone and dialed his girlfriend's 7-digit number.
"Heather Sinclair," answered her business like voice.
"Hi hon," said Toby.
"Hey," she said, "what's up?"
"You want to go to my high school reunion?" he asked, cutting to the chase.
"Well, of course," said Heather, "I went to Degrassi too."
Toby smiled to himself, "Aright, well are we still on for dinner tonight?"
"Of course," she replied, smiling also. "Gotta go, love you."
"Love you too."
Scene changeSpinner was in his office, sorting through everything, when he came across a letter saying Degrassi. He read it and smiled. He really wanted to go to this. Even though he had been expelled once, then brought back in, he still loved that place.
Plus, she might be there. The only one he'd ever loved. The one that got away. Well, more like, the one he pushed away, but still. He loved Paige, he'd always loved Paige, and probably always would. When he found out she was pregnant, he was so hurt.
Flashback
"What's this?" Spinner asked, holding up a first response pregnancy test.
"Spin, please," begged Paige.
"Please what?" replied Spinner. "You cheated on me didn't you?"
"No!" she insisted.
"We haven't even done anything!" he argued.
"Spinner, I had sex before we got together!" Paige said through tears.
"Likely story," Spinner muttered. "Get away from me you slut!"
Spinner frowned, that was the last time he'd seen her. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. "Come in," he called. As he saw his girlfriend Arabelle, he tried to hide the letter, but she saw it anyway.
"Ooh a reunion," she squealed, "how fun! I'll have to go shopping for the perfect outfit! Bye, honey-bun!"
As soon as the door closed, Spinner let out a frustrated sigh. He really didn't like her. She was nice and all, but just too hyper for his taste, and she wasn't really all that smart either. How was he going to break up with her?
Scene changeMarco looked over an old picture album. It was of him and Dylan. He looked through the pictures, they just didn't put a spark in him like they used to.
Marco looked out the window at a girl. Wow she's pretty, he thought. Woah, where did that come from?
"Am I even gay anymore?" he asked himself. Was it even possible to stop being gay. Well, anything's possible, but he had never heard of anyone just stop being gay all of a sudden.
He flipped through his photo album, and his eyes rested on a picture of Ellie. His heart skipped a beat. She had once been his girlfriend, and he pretty much broke her heart.
He heard she was engaged to Craig. He saw her every now and then. He shook these thoughts out of his head and found the letter.
He didn't know whether he wanted to go or not. There would so many people there that he didn't want to see. For example, he didn't want to see anyone that had called him a faggot or queer (except the people he had forgiven), and he didn't want to see Ellie. Or did he? He was so confused.
A/N Okay, this was a really long chapter, and right now it's 2:18 in the morning, so sorry if it's not very good. Please review. Next chapter is when they all head to Degrassi.
