Sydney woke up, stretching and yawning. She stood up and looked out the window. Walking into the bathroom, she stepped into the shower and turned on the water. She washed her hair then turned off the water and dried off. She took some clothes out of the dresser and got dressed. Then she walked down stairs and into the kitchen.

She took out the orange juice and set it on the counter. Then she took out a glass, poured some juice and took a drink. Sydney walked to the window and looked out to see the swing set. She smiled. Turning back to look at the microwave clock, she was startled to see the time was already twelve o'clock. She ran back upstairs and back to the bathroom to brush her hair and her teeth.

She started to leave then grabbed her book on the desk. Down the hallway, she picked up her purse and left the house, locking the door behind her. She opened the garage and started up the car. Excitement filled her as she backed out of the driveway and began driving down the street. A man waved at her and she waved back at him with a smile. Sydney drove past all the houses with their flowers and lawn decorations. The backyard needs some flowers. The hill stretched out before her and she drove to the bottom of it, crossed a bridge and continued down another hill.

She turned right and merged into traffic. The clock on the dashboard said twelve forty five. She looked to the left. A carnival. Sydney grinned with excitement. She took a right and another right into a parking garage. She parked on the first floor between two cars and got out. The sidewalks were filled with crowds of people as she made her way through. She waited at the light and crossed the street. There were kids playing in the fountains and she smiled.

Sydney pushed past people and moved towards the carnival. She wandered around, looking at different rides and watching people laughing and screaming. She smiled again. Seeing the tall, brightly lit ferris wheel at the far end, she walked towards it. She stood under it and looked up to its very top then she waited on a park bench and opened her book and began to read. After a few hours, she casually looked up and saw him.

"Julian!" She yelled, waving her arm.

He was carrying a ridiculous, small, blue bear. Sydney laughed. He spotted her and smiled. Sark walked towards her. He took her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.

"I got you something." He said with a boyish grin on his face.

Sydney took the bear and hugged it. "It's cute."

He looked at his watch. "Come on we're gonna be late."

He took her hand and led her through the crowds of happy people. They reached the fountains and Sydney saw the bus and the children coming off it. With them was a boy with blond hair.

"Brandon!" She called.

The boy saw her. "Mom!" He yelled. Brandon ran to her and hugged her.

Sydney smiled. "We have a surprise in the backyard for you."

A/N: I hope you liked what I thought was a happy ending, yes I'm sorry, not everything is revealed (not even to me, believe me). But I'd love any ideas or interpretations. Feel free to IM me at AgentBristow4747.
