A/N ok, I'm really sorry for not updating. Especially when I only put out the prologue. Things are really rough in my life right now and school isn't helping. I know this chapter is short, but I have more written.

The show isn't helping either. I haven't watched it in a long time. I watched Friday's because my sod said they were gonna have a lot of flashbacks and stuff. I loved it! What did you guy think?

Anyway that is the only eppy I have watched in a month. Maybe more. But I go to dustin's site and read whats gonna happen so I'm all updated, I just don't watch. So ya, I think that's all I have to say….

"Sami please!"

"No!"

"But I want to come with you! I think being your best friend makes me able to go with you!"

"Not right away. I'm going back to Salem for the first time in over two years. I haven't talked to anyone sense I left and everyone hated me."

"Oh, come on. I love drama, I live for drama! Drama is my middle name!"

"Hey, I'm your boss, I could fire you!"

"Ooooooh, Sami, the big evil boss."

"Shut up Nikki."

"Did you tell anyone you're moving back?"

"No, it's going to be a……… surprise."

"I still can't believe you're moving away from me! What will your life be like without the wonderful, most-awesome person in your life? How will you live?"

(A/N I wrote the next part of the chapter when I was in a really bad mood. It was the day after the season premire of Alias. Made me cry so hard. So it got me all depressed for the next week. Anyone here watch alias?)

"I'll live."

"But now you and Brian will never get together and live happily ever after!"

"I don't like Brian! You've been trying to get me to go out with him forever! I told you-"

"I know, I know, the father of your so called son, I have never met, is the love of you life and he's the only guy for you. No one can compare to him, I still love him blah, blah, blah. You've never gone on a date sense I met you!"

"Yah, because it's pointless."

"No it's not! You've got to wake up and smell the roses! You still have a long life ahead of you! Lucas was just a chapter in your life. Get over him!"

No. I will never get over him. He is the reason I get up in the morning. The reason I do so well at work. It hurts! It physically hurts knowing he's probably moving on. The reason I work so much is to forget about him for a couple of hours. HE is the only man who understands me!"

"Isn't he also the guy who broke your heart? Broke up with you the day of your wedding then left you at the alter the second time? That's the guy you love?"

"Shut up! Just shut up and leave me the hell alone!"

She started to walk out of the office when Nikki yelled, "Go to hell!"

"Yah and I'll bring you along too!" She stormed out of the office and yelled at her assistant to call the limo that would take her to the airport.

Sami was in shock as she was lying on the seat of her limousine. She hadn't yelled like that since… since she was in Salem. A new start had made her more tolerant towards people. Never had she gotten that mad either. O crap. I'm turning back into the old Sami. I was supposed to prove I've changed. Well, without Lucas I don't care anyway. Everyone can go to hell. She thought of everything she's been through in her life. Then she broke down into tears and cried.

The flight was ok. Nothing too terrible happened. The landing was bouncy but she survived, for she was now walking toward baggage claims to get her stuff. Unfortunately the first person she saw, she knew. John Black was holding a sheet of paper that read "Ms. Samantha Evans" That was her business name. She worked under her mother's maiden name so reporters couldn't look up her past and so people like John would not know who she was until they came face to face, like now.

Sami collected her courage and walked up to him. She stuck out a hand and said, "Hello, I'm Samantha Evans."

John looked shocked. "What?"

"I'm Samantha."

"Sami, is this a joke?"

"No."

"Look this isn't funny."

"I never said it was."

"How are you Samantha Evans?"

"When I left Salem I got a job. I worked really hard and got promoted a lot. I work under the name Samantha so reporters don't know my past. And now here I am with you; our companies emerging together. I hold almost the same amount of power as you, and the same as Kate, who is now taking my place in the branch."

All John could do was smile and say, "Great."

Sami looked around. Nothing had changed everything still looked the same. Only she was different. She was more conservative on what she said, and had a hard working attitude.

There was an uncomfortable silence until John spoke. "Your parents will be happy you're home."

"Does my mom have her memory back?"

"Yes, her memory came back about a month after you left."

"That's great! Did she dump that creepy doctor guy then?"

"Yes, err, turns out he worked for Dimera."

"Tony?"

"No, actually his father. He had this planned long ago, but didn't want it to happen until today apparently."

"So, you let some crack job treat mom? I told you he was no good!"

"Yes, I know, I know."

"Well, can we find my things and leave? I feel really stupid just standing around in an airport when I could be unpacking."

John was surprised. He thought Sami was going to let him have it and blame everything on him.

"Yah, come on."

They left the airport on better terms, but there was a lot of tension in the air.
