| Notes: Zander and Emily left the night of the Nurse's Ball and have not been seen or heard from since. Elizabeth has disappeared to think about her relationship with Lucky. ~~~ November 2001 Elizabeth Webber walked out of her sister's apartment and got into her mother's car. She drove aimlessly around the town before going back to her parents' home. She walked inside and found no one else home. She went to the kitchen, fixed herself a cup of tea and was about to go to her room when there was a knock at the door. She sighed and went to answer it. "Em!" She said throwing her arms around her friend. Emily smiled. and walked into the home. They went over and sat down on a sofa. Liz turned to Emily. "Emily, where have you been? I haven't heard from you since your graduation." "I've been around. Zander and I have been together, but let's not talk about me and Zander, I want to know about you and Lucky." ~~~ Lucky Spencer walked into his mother's house to find his sister watching her favorite movie again. He smiled and walked towards the kitchen where he found his mother cooking. "Hi mom." "Hi, honey." She looked at her youngest son. "What's wrong?" "I've been thinking about Elizabeth." "Oh. Lucky, she'll come back." "I don't know. Mom, I said things, things that I regret saying to keep her safe." "I know." "What can I do?" "Nothing, now, but wait, she will come back, you can make things right then." Lucky smiled at her before leaving. He walked down the street towards Kelly's when he suddnely stopped and sat down. He didn't know why he stopped, but he had, and for some reason, he didn't want to get up. A few minutes passed and someone came towards him. "Zander? What are you doing here? Where's Emily?" "Lucky, Emily is fine. I'm here to talk to you about Elizabeth." ~~~ "What about me and Lucky?" Liz asked. "Liz, you and Lucky belong together. I've known this for a long time so has everyone else in Port Charles." "Em, you don't know what he said to me..." "Liz, he was saying those things to keep you safe from Helena. He never wanted to hurt you, he wanted to protect you." "Then why didn't he say that?" ~~~ "What about us?" Lucky asked. Zander sat down beside him. "How about that fact that you two have been through everything like Emily and I have." "What are you talking about?" "Lucky, you and Liz have been there for each other through everything, the rape, your 'death', your kidnapping, the brainwashing, the Cassadines, and your familes want you two to be together." "So, I was trying to keep her safe from all of that. Being with me put her in danger, made her a target for Helena and Faison." "Being with me made Emily a target for Sorell," Zander observed. "And we are still together, even if her parents want us apart." ~~~ "Would you have believed him if he had?" Liz looked down. "Probably not." "I thought so. Liz, Lucky loves you more than anything else in this world." "I know." "Go back to him Elizabeth," Emily said standing up. She walked to the door. "Go back to him and be happy." She walked out of the house. Liz stared after her before running to the phone. She dialed the airport. "WHen is your next flight to Port Charles, New York?" ~~~ Lucky stared at Zander. "I said things to her, things that hurt her." "I know." "How?" "I know." "She probably hates me right now." Lucky looked at the ground. "No she doesn't. Lucky, she loves you more than ever and I'm sure that she's willing to fight for that love, if you are. She won't let Helena, Faison, or your brainwashing get in the way of that." "And how can you be so sure?" "I have it on a reliable source that Liz is on her way home right now," Zander said before standing up. Lucky never looked up to see him go. "Zander, how did..." Lucky looked around and didn't see him anywhere. His brow furrowed in confusion. He repeated the question he was going to ask over and over in his head. 'How did Zander know about the brainwashing?' ~~~The next day Liz walked up to Lucky's apartment and knocked on the door. He answered and went to her. He wrapped his arms around her. "Liz, I'm so sorry. Everything I said..." "Shh, it's okay now. We're here, together, and we're safe, that's all we need." "I love you so much. What happened? Where'd you go?" She yawned. "Let's get some coffee and I'll tell you all about it." He smiled and they wnet to Kelly's. They sat at the counter and were about to start talking when Liz saw a newspaper from the day before in front of her. She picked it up and read the front page article aloud. "'The bodies of Emily Bowen-Quartermaine and Zander Smith were found last night in Central Park. They had both been shot in the head after, what police say, was a robbery gone sour. "'Smith had just recently testified in a murder case against Joseph Sorell, a reputed mob boss in Port Charles. Speculations are that Sorell ordered Smith and Quartermaine to be murdered.'" Liz and Lucky both went white as she finished the last sentence. They were both thinking about their own encounters with Emily and Zander. ~~~ From Heaven, Emily and Zander watched them. Emily smiled at her friends. They had been through so much, but she was glad that she and Zander could bring them back together after all that. "They're finally going to be happy," she observed. "I hope so," Zander said. Hand-in-hand they walked off until they disappeared. THE END |
