Elizabeth and her sister were shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue looking for something to wear for the play tonight. Lila wasn't with them, she said she had a important errand to run.

Johanna, Maria and Julie were preparing for the opening tonight. Julie was excited, she was playing in the orchestra since one flutist had a cold and couldn't make it.

Brooke said she had a important phone call to make, her father's film producer needed Brooke's input on a scene in the film. She said she may be awhile.

Cara and Billie were exploring the city. Cara wanted to distract herself, and Billie came along to keep her company. They already had their outfits, Brooke ordered hers online, same with Lila. Cara was borrowing a outfit from Lila, and Billie was wearing her own dress. The twins wanted to catch up, and Jessica was shocked when Elizabeth wanted to go shopping.

"I cannot believe my own sister suggested shopping. You are not my twin. The Liz I know hates shopping."

Elizabeth laughs. "Oh Jess. If you only knew. If you think the fashions are good here, try London. They are miles ahead of the United States."

Jessica looked at her sister with jealousy. "I been to London. Remember the werewolf case?"

"Don't remind me. That is something I rather forget. Besides, we helped a police officer solve a crime, what was his name again?"

"Sergeant Bumpo?"

"I think so. Jessica, believe it or not, he was Knighted by the Queen."

"Seriously? He got lucky on one case."

"Jess, he's actually a great cop. He solved many crimes in London. The latest case he solved, he prevented the Queen's Sister's neice from being kidnapped."

"Damn. I guess that time in London changed you."

"Kinda. I still like reading, I work as a journalist, and I'm still a vegetarian."

"You certainly changed your look. We no longer look alike." Jessica says sadly.

Elizabeth's hair was a lot shorter. She had it curled with barrettes, it was just past her ears. It was still blond, but it was darker than her sister's. Jessica's hair was still long, she couldn't cut it, her contract on the show demanded that her character Brittany have long hair. She had lighter highlights, due to Jessica being in the sun a lot. She looked at Elizabeth with envy. She looked great, very New York. Jessica felt like a typical California Beach Bunny. Funny. In high school, Elizabeth cried when Jessica went dark, but now Jessica wished she had her sister's shorter hair. She looked like their great grandma, Samantha.

"Jess, how's this." Elizabeth says holding up a boring brown dress. On the other hand, Elizabeth was still conservative. Nuns dressed more sexy.

"Ah. Nope. Sorry sis. For someone that brags about fashion, you pick the safest option. Hmm. How about this?" She holds up a stunning red sleek gown.

Elizabeth laughs. "That is more of your style."

Jessica looks at it. "Your right. Excuse me." She goes inside a dressing room.

Elizabeth shakes her head. It was just like old times.

Later at the salon, they were getting their hair done. Elizabeth was going to wear her hair with crystals, to go with the dress she picked out. When she showed Jess, her sister whistled. It was a form fitting dark blue dress, with a deep open back, with fake jewels sewn on it. Way more sexier than Elizabeth's style, but on her, it looked great. Earlier, the salesman that was helping her pick shoes at Manolo Blanik was hitting on Elizabeth. Jessica was almost jealous, especially with Elizabeth giggling at his lame lines.

Jessica's dress was just as sexy. She couldn't find anything at Sak's, so they went to a another store. They couldn't find anything at any of the big box stores, so they went to a smaller, less known store. The owner was surprised to see the twins, and asked them for autographs. Elizabeth was surprised, she wasn't famous. But the saleswoman watched Jessica's soap opera on a daily basis, and recognized Elizabeth on the brief time she had back in high school.

After getting their autographs, she showed the twins her designs. The twins were in awe. The woman, named Carla, was extremely talented at her work, every dress in her small store was created and tailored by her. All of her clothing was well made. Both twins fell in love with her designs. They looked around, Elizabeth buying a black dress, perfect for a business dinner, and Jessica buying a deep red wine coloured gown with a slit on the side. It was very Jessica. The place was expensive, but the twins didn't mind, they loved her work. They took her business card, and promised to come back with their friends. Carla thanked them and gave them both complimentary earrings her sister created.

Both twins were definitely wearing the earrings. They matched the dresses perfectly. Jessica was going to wear her hair up, and was texting Lila on want she was wearing, Lila texted back with a heart emoji. After their hair was done, Elizabeth went home, with Jessica going back to her hotel to get ready.

Since Elizabeth had some time, after doing her makeup, she checked her emails. There was one from her old college buddy, Nina Harper. Nina wrote that she got her grant from her company. Elizabeth congratulated her, the money was important for Nina's medical research. The cause was important to Nina, her mom was sick with Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Poor Nina was saddened when she found out. She and her mom admittedly didn't get along, but when she started showing signs of not being herself, Nina begged her mom to see a doctor. Mrs Harper was hesitant, she hated doctors, but respected Nina's job as a medical research scientist. When they both heard the news, both were devastated. Since that day, Nina dedicated herself to finding a cure. She worked tirelessly, but thankfully still had a life. She wrote that she and her mom were going on a cruise before she returns to work. The grant wouldn't come through for another three months.

Elizabeth wrote back and told her mom that she was thinking of her. Nina said that her mom already knew. The next email came from her cousin, Kelly.

Kelly said she was having the time of her life in Hong Kong. After she graduated, she applied to a college up north from she was living. After she got her teaching degree, she moved to Asia to teach English. She and a few SVH alums were living together in a shared townhouse. Bill Chase, DeeDee Gordan, Lois Waller and Rick Andover. Elizabeth was weary reading that. Kelly always had trouble with men, her tastes in men were worse than Jessica.

Kelly and Rick always had a turbulent relationship. They dated on and off for years. Her cousins hated Rick, he always tried to cheat on Kelly with the twins and Robin. Ugh. But they were always polite to Rick whenever Kelly brought him around. Elizabeth hoped that Rick cleaned up his act, since he was in the car with Charlie and Betsy when they crashed.

Bill and DeeDee were no longer dating, they broke up years ago. Bill wasn't a teacher, he dropped out of college in freshman year, but he didn't need college, he ended up selling a surfboard design that was perfect for shorter people, since he taught surfing lessons in his spare time. His design made him a millionaire. DeeDee was his business partner, she created the artful designs on his boards. Apparently, DeeDee owned the home. She and Bill flew back in forth selling his boards all around the world, including Hawaii, Australia, South Africa, The French Rivera, Florida, and California. Just to name a few. They were currently in Hong Kong to discuss business to be partnered with a very wealthy businessman. If this deal went through, they were going to be international. Number one surfboard company in the world. Kelly wrote Bill and DeeDee were excited.

She also said Rick no longer drank. He said that car accident scared him. He said that seeing those children shook him on how precious life is. Rick didn't get better overnight, it took him years. He gave up the bottle last year. Kelly swore Rick was different now. She said in her email that Rick was working with a construction company, and he was learning Chinese.

Lois Waller was teaching English as well, she and DeeDee were good friends, and was close to Bill. She was fluent in Chinese, and was teaching English at the local University. Kelly was teaching English to elementary school kids.

Elizabeth wrote Kelly to wish everyone luck. Kelly wrote back later to say thanks. She said she and Rick wanted to visit later in the year.

Hearing the door buzzer, she let Billie in. Cara was at Lila's getting ready.

An hour later, the taxi arrived. Elizabeth was already dressed, same with Billie. Jessica, Brooke and Lila were already inside. All four women go to Maria's and Johanna's Broadway debut.
