Chapter 10: Finding a Way Home

                                    

                                          
It was Monday, April 22nd, 1991. The group was goofing off on set during a break. What they didn't know was that Anastasia had slipped away from everyone to play a piano on a soundstage. 


                          
"Mikey! Put me down," Amy said. 
"Never! You're mine, Lee," Michael said before kissing her. 


                          
"Terr! Give me back my sunglasses please," Dominic said. 
"Nope. They look pretty rad on me," she said. 
"But you have your own, Carrot Cake," Dominic said. 
"Your sunglasses are just cooler than mine. I love the aviator frames, Twinkle Toes," Terra said. 


                          
"Gabe stop beating me in arm wrestling," Summer said.
"I can't help it that I'm good at it," he said.
"I'm so determined to beat you at it when we get the chance to," Summer said. 
"I honestly think me winning is what you get for kicking me out of my own bed last week, Sums," Gabriel said. 
"That was an accident and you know it," she said. 


                          
"El, why don't you want to go out tonight," Marty asked. 
"Because I just want to stay home. I just would like to rent a movie and stay home," she answered. 
"If that's what you want to do, that's okay with me," Marty said.


                          
"Oddy," Aaron said.
"Yes," she said.
"You got something on your face," Aaron said. 
"No, I don't," Odette said before Aaron kissed her. "You just wanted an excuse to kiss me!"
"You're not wrong," Aaron said.


                          
"Davey, let me pick the movie we watch tonight. You always get to pick," Genevieve said. 
"I let you pick yesterday, Jenny," he said. 
"That was what we got for dinner. It's my turn to pick a movie and I a want to watch The Princess Bride tonight," she said.
"Okay. I actually wouldn't mind watching that," David said. 
"Good," Genevieve said.


                          
"Maddi, give me back my newsie cap," Max said. 
"Nope. It looks cute with my white t-shirt and jeans," she said. 
"But I need it to film, baby," Max said. 
"Fine," Madison said with a sigh while giving Max his hat back. 


                          
"Lilly, you're telling me you've never gone ice skating," Trey said. 
"Is that a bad thing," she asked. 
"No, but we can go tonight if you'd like," Trey replied. 
"Sure! Why not," Lilliana said. 
"I also promise that I won't laugh if you fall," Trey said. 
"Trey," Lilliana said as she elbowed him. 
"Ow! I was kidding. I swear I won't laugh when you fall," he said. 
"You better not," Lilliana said. 


                          
"Has anyone seen Anya? She was here a few minutes ago and now she's gone," Christian said. 
"No," Amy said. 


                          
"I have a idea of where she might be. Uh, girls, do you think you could come with me," Odette asked. 
"Sure, we can," Terra answered.  


                          
The seven girls followed Odette to one of the sound stages where they found Anastasia playing a song on a piano. 


                          
"Why did you run off," Summer asked. 


                          
"Yeah. I'm wondering the same thing. Christian is kinda concerned out there," Madison said. 


                          
"I just had to get away from everything for a bit," Anastasia said as she focused on playing the piano. 
"You could have just told us you needed some time to yourself. We would've understood, Anya," Ellis said. 


                          
"Anya, what are you playing," Genevieve asked. 
"Um, Till There Was You from The Music Man," she replied. 


                          
"Uh, is the room supposed to be getting brighter," Amy asked. 
"I don't think so, Lee," Lilliana said. 


                          
"Anya! Stop playing," Terra exclaimed.
"Okay," she said as she did what she was told. 


                          
"I think Anya just found a way to get back to the future," Odette said. 


                          
"Oh my goodness! I didn't mean to," Anastasia said. 
"We know you didn't, but we were bound to find a way to go back to the future sometime," Summer said. 



                          
"We have to tell the boys," Genevieve said. 
"We can't. They'll be devastated that we know that we have a way to go back to the future," Madison said. 


                          
"We have to tell them. Relationships are built on truth and and honesty," Terra said. 
"I agree," Anastasia said. 



                          
"We should tell them this Friday! Yes! When we're all hanging out in Christian's hotel room," Lilliana said. 
"That'll work," Amy said. 


                          
"We have to ease them into it though," Ellis said. 


                          
"I just don't want to leave them yet," Madison said. 
"None of us do. I'm sure that they'll be fine without us and we'll be fine without them. We'll always have our memories with them," Summer said. 


                          
"We should probably get back out there. I'm sure the boys are wondering what we're doing," Anastasia said. 



                          
The girls began planning how they could break news like this to the boys. 




                          
A/N: Sorry for not updating in a while. I've been busy with stuff, and I've had major writers block. The next chapter probably won't be out for another few weeks because I have a lot of things coming up.
