A/N: Now, I'm finally going to answer some reviews! I haven't had much free time, I have a bunch of French homework and I'm supposed to read a bunch of The Catcher in the Rye by Monday, but I can still find some time in my busy schedule to write back to you lovely people who make my days brighter.
Silver Hair Fox: You seriously almost cried at school? I'm sorry! I was in tears by the time I finished writing it, I love the song Sara sings! That's why I named this fiction after it.
Georgeous Nick Stokes: Much as I'd love to tell you who ends up with Sara, I still don't know, myself. Whoever it is, they get together in June, and it's only November. There's some good Cathy/Gil stuff in January, though.
XxbluemoonxX: I totally understand that sometimes you can't review, just the fact that you're still reading my story is enough to keep me going. Thanks for not hating my writing!
Blood Of Eden: Catherine and Gil haven't gotten together yet, silly! Catherine is in love with Gil and Gil is just starting to realize his feelings, but he's still being all in denial about it (like in the show!).
P.S. I love the episode, Forever. If anyone can think of a way for me to use something from it, email, not review, to LadyStardust16 at gmail dot com. With the at being an sign and stuff, of course.

"Let's watch Edward Scissorhands!" Greg yelled dramatically, holding a pair of scissors in one hand and the movie in the other. The gang, with Mia, had all walked over to Catherine's house and were struggling with the problem of what movie to watch. The three girls were still a bit tearful, and Greg had taken it upon himself to cheer them up.
"I've never seen it, my mom just bought it a few weeks ago," Catherine said, eying the movie skeptically. Everyone else, including Greg, admitted that they had never seen the movie.
"It looks scary," Greg said cheerfully. "We're watching it." Before anyone could protest, Greg had put in the movie and in no time the credits were rolling, and the movie was starting. Greg turned out the overhead light and sat down next to the armchair Sara was relaxing in, deciding to put his hand next to hers in case she got too scared.
By the time the movie was over, all six boys were deeply regretting their choice of what to watch. Mia, Catherine, and Sara had all taken over the couch and were crying uncontrollably as they watched the old woman on the screen finishing the story to her granddaughter.The boys were looking uncomfortably at their feet, even Greg, who always had a grin on his face, had wilted a little.
Without waiting for the credits to start, he jumped up and took out the movie. He popped a different disc into the DVD player, pushing play on the remote and sitting down quickly next to Sara, who had gone back to her armchair. Nick was on her other side, and Mia, who was sitting on the loveseat across the room, smiled at how the two boys looked like faithful pets.
She had seen them all at school, because it was hard not to notice them, but she never noticed quite how protective Greg and Nick were over Sara. Mia thought, as the movie started, about how no one had recognized her from school. She was a little dissappointed, but she could understand quite well. She had no classes with them, no friends to help her stand out, and no social standing whatsoever. After thinking for a while and pretending to pay attention to the movie, Mia dropped off to a peaceful sleep, unaware that all of her female companions had also given over to the strong urge to close their eyelids and let themselves be taken away.

Archie had noticed all the girls were asleep, so he nudged Gil and jerked his head in the direction of the door. The boys reluctantly got up from their various places, sad to leave the movie they were watching. It was something loud and entertaining, about racing and girls. Only Greg knew that they were actually watching Grease.
With Jim in the lead, the boys tip-toed out of the room and into the guest bedroom. They fought over the king-size bed for a few minutes, Nick finally coming managing to push everyone else off. He threw them each a pillow, as he had more than enough, and he was in a generous mood after his spectacular performance during karaoke night.
The boys stripped out of their pants, each choosing the best bit of floor they could find, and sank into a deep slumber.

"Come on, let's see if they're awake yet." This comment was muttered by Mia, who was getting quite bold and had definitely established her place in the group. Catherine and Sara nodded, and the three of them crept down the hallway, quietly pushing open the guest bedroom door, which was already ajar.
Cathy was immediately glad she had thought to bring her camera when she saw her six male friends spread comfortably around the room. She blushed a little as she noticed that they were all in their boxers, but raised the camera to her eyes anyway. She nearly laughed out loud as she snapped a picture of Greg in his Hello Kitty boxers, hugging his pillow and drooling unattractively. After a few more pictures, Sara led the girls out of the room, her cheeks pink with embarrassment at seeing Nick and Greg without pants on.
She giggled a little once they were out of earshot, remembering that Nick's boxers were decorated with flames, and that Greg's were black with pink Hello Kitty, but she was immediately shushed by Cathy and Mia. After hiding the camera in the furthest corner of Catherine's closet, the three girls ran back to the room to wake the boys up.
"Good morning!" Sara yelled enthusiastically, jumping on the bed and waking Nick from a peaceful dream in which she, coincidentally, was also in his bed. He blinked his eyes, showing that he was alive, and Sara proceeded to wake Greg while Mia and Catherine woke Jim, Gil, Archie and Warrick.

Walking down the street, Catherine was leading the way to an IHOP, saying she could buy them all breakfast on Sam Braun's tab. The rest of the group followed her like baby ducklings after their mother, and they could soon see a large white and blue sign indicating that their destination was near. Greg was walking next to Sara, and his fingers occasionally brushed her hand. He deliberately moved closer, letting his palm rest against hers. Sara didn't notice, but Nick, who was walking behind them, gave Greg a look filled with venom, and Greg moved his hand away, walking quickly and leaving Sara behind him.
When Gil opened the door, a rush of warm air washed over the wind-chilled teenagers, and they all hurried gratefully into the pancake house. Catherine had a few words with one of the waitresses, and she joined them at the largest table in the tackily decorated resteraunt. Mia was puzzling over how Catherine could possibly know Sam Braun, when she was told outright and spared the trouble of asking. The waitress was back in no time with an enormous tray of plates, and the conversation that was being held ceased as everyone wolfed down their pancakes.
When they were done, Greg asked a question. "What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving? My family's going to Norway to visit Papa Olaf, and they said I don't have to go. So we could all have Thanksgiving at my house if you want. You could all sleep over."
Everyone agreed that it was a good idea, and they walked away from the International House Of Pancakes feeling like there was still something to look forward to, even if it was just a Thanksgiving celebration at a hyperactive freshman's house.

I thought this was a nice kind of pick-me-up after last chapter, which was SO SAD! As always, reviews are greatly appriciated.
Peace, love, empathy,
