--->In a land miles from any city, where rolling hills and and vast farmlands devour you, live nine friends. They've never known anything but this southeastern town. Some of them never want to. But when a run-away returns after two years, everything changes. She brought pieces of the city back with her. Will you have a taste for the city?

--->These friends have a meeting place. Everything from comforting each other after a grave loss, to partying after a win, this spot is where they live and love. They just call it the tree. It is a gigantic apple tree on the edge of a vast field. Many nights to remember have taken place here. Pitching tents and partying hard.

Last week, she decided to visit home. Not move back home, but visit. Depending on the reaction, she didn't know how long she would be staying. She wanted to see everyone - her parents, her brothers, and her friends. She wanted to know that they were all okay. And most of all, she wanted love again. She wanted a break from the lonliness.

After dedicating her life to gaining respect and upholding the integrity of the town, Lise has never wanted to leave it. Then again, no one in the town has realized she is a lesbian.

Biography;; Kaleigh wants nothing better than to move. That's it. She doesn't want anything except to move as far away from Nowhereville. Small town life is like a leash holding her back from bigger better things. She could have may things going for her. Plus she wants her baby sister to have more than she did, way more. She thinks that if she makes it big, she'll move and leave this all behind. She and Sunnie will have a better life.

Her mom was a small town girl who met her dad, who was a farmer's only son. Together they had two lovely children: Kaleigh and Sunnie. Sunnie is the light of Kaleigh's life. If it wasn't for Suunie, she would probably be aspiring to marry a small town boy and settle down. Kiki would probably be in the spotlight sooner had it not been for her russels with that thing they call the law. Kiki has a lot of issues she needs to sort out.

Kylie has a habit of getting into trouble. Fun is fun no matter how or where you do it. Great motto for life, no? She gets her kicks when and where she can no matter who tells her not to. She has been in jail more than twice, but none of it's on her record. She tries to be a good girl. Her father tells her to stay out of trouble, but her mom doesn't give a damn. Kylie and her mom are a lot alike, to Kiki's dismay. Why would she want to be like her? She doesn't. Especially since her mother died about a year ago from unfortunate circumstances. Oh well. Life goes on. Now, who wants to be a movie star? Smile for the camera!
Micellaneous;; Kaleigh wants a lot more than you can give her. She's never satisfied. Maybe that's why she can't have a steady relationship.......

-->Her mother sighed. "So, this ring in your nose is real?"

"Yes mom."

"And...the hair? You dyed it. Is this all yours?"

"They're called extensions. I get my hair done now mom."

"And your clothes...are they cheaper when they're that skimpy?"

"I made this outfit myself. I'm a designer. I told you both that." Evelyn looked at both her parents. They greeted her happily, but just like any other family member that lived down the road. Like she'd never really left. Or that they didn't care that she was back.

"Oh yes, now I remeber that. You...model too? You know, I don't want to know."

Her mother could really be a b***h at times. "Yes. I'm a designer and a model. I make lots of money. I live in an apartment in Manhattan."

"But you've come back home, I knew you would."

"Dad, I'm visiting. I took vacation time from work to come see you all."

"What, have you been too busy in the last two years to see us at all?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. I've been working my a** off."

"Evelyn Elizabeth, do not talk to you father like that."

Time to change the subject. "I'm going to go find my... friends now, I'll be back later."

"Alright, don't go skipping town on us without saying goodbye then."

And with that, Evelyn once again turned and walked right out the door.

She looked out to the single paved street that ran through the town. It was like a side street off a side street off a hidden road off a highway. That's how she remembered it as she hiked out with her things two years ago, and that's exactly how it was now that she returned.

People were outside, of course. Some were looking at her with raised brows, eyeing her outfit or her hair. Some were murmuring to each other. Some people didn't remember her, anything outside of this town was dead to them, just like this whole town seemed dead to her. She wondered how the gang was holding together, she imagined they were just the same without her, with the exception of some of them growing up.
Introducing the James family


Ashlynn sighed as she sat on her front steps. She was watching her little sisters play in the sprinklers. She sighed as she licked te small ice cream cone in her hand. She watched some of the ice cream fall onto the ground, her dalmation, walked over and sniffed it, then licked the ground with her tounge. "aww come on patches, don't do that." she grummbled as she shoved the dog playfully. She looked up and watched her younger sister Aly. "aly, what are you doing?" she called out as the young girl kept poking in the large lilac bushes around the house.

She grummbled something under her breath as she stood up. She fed the cone to the dog as she walked over. She was wearing a pair of short denim shorts, a pink and purple light plaid tube top with her white string bikini underneath. Her white sandals in hand, she headed over to her sister. "there is a baby bird up there." her little sister said as she got closer. "well then leave it alone Aly." AJ said as she scooped up her six year old sister and tickled her.

They laughed all the way over towards the sprinklers, allowing AJ to enjoy the sun as she chased her sisters around. Her brother Derrick, who was twenty one, came out on the porch. "hey sis, stop acting like a kid. he called out as he sat on the steps. He was pretty strong and very well muscled. AJ loved her older brother who was always there for her, unlike chris who was away in hawaii now surfing. She sighed as she picked her sandals up, and let Aly go play with jenna and Brea. She climbed up onto the steps with her older brother and watched the girls.

Her brother flicked at the small bracelet around her ankle, "what some guy gave it to you?" he said teasingly as he streched. Ashlynn laughed and shoved her brother to the side, "no, Evie gave it to me." she said as she cradled the crystal beads on her ankle. It had a small horse on the charms and her friend had sent it to her from the city. She wondered when she was going to see her again. She sighed as she watched her brother get up and chase her sisters around. She patted Patches head, and felt Tiara rub against her back. She watched the siamese jump onto the decks railing and she smiled, not knowing her friend was really just around the corner.
-->Evelyn walked down the side of the road, looking straight ahead to avoid the stares from people as she passed. No one really said hello to her, and she guessed they didn't remember her. Maybe this would be a short stay after all.

She walked for a long time, all the way to the turn-around at the end of the road. She veered left and walked off through the tall grass. The forgotten sensation tickled her smooth, bare legs as she walked. She took of her heels and felt the ground beneath her feet. It was a nice feeling, but really she just wanted to save her shoes. She held the shoes in her hand with her purse, and walked. After quite a while of just thinking and walking, she arrived.

It was the tree. It looked exactly the same, no bigger or smaller. No more alive or dead. It looked perfect. She walked over and set her shoes and purse on a branch, and sat on the old but study tire swing. She took a deep breath. There was no better smell on earch, no matter how much money you paid or how hard you tried. You could smell the apple blossoms of the early summer.

As comforting as it was, she was still alone. Her brothers would be home from school in an hour or so, then maybe they would be welcoming. But her parents, they alienated her. Her dogs had greeted her with the most kindness so far. Then again, they always would. Apparently no one else got that.
AJ sighed as she stood up and brushed her butt off. She whistled and the girls turned nad looked at her, her brother slipping and falling on his butt started laughing. "and you tell me to grow up." she muttered as she slipped her sandals on, "okay, girls, mom has lunch on the table for you." she said as the little girls ran squealing into the house, water puddles everywhere. "Derrik, can you put the hose away?" she asked as she started walking towards the gate that lead out to the street.

"uh yea, sure." he said as he got up and went and turned the hose off. She smiled and gave a wave of thanks. She gave another short whistle with her fingers and Patches came running towards her. The dog skidded and ran out the gate, up street ahead of Ashlynn. She sighed as she followed after the animal, a commotion at the house of Evie's was nothing new, but she felt strange with this one. She shrugged and walked on, Patches had come back and was now panting and walking besides her.

She smield as she cut through an alley and walked out into the field. She smiled as she watched Patches run through the grass, the dogs spotted tail bobboing up and down, and every once in awhile a yip from the animal as it walked about and jumped after butterflies. She smiled as she walked on towatds the apple tree. There was a flash of something shimmery. She tilted her head slightly and striaghtened up, someone was at the tree. She started running, her flip flops paddling the ground. Patches was on her tail now, barking and panting as she neared the tree. Who in the right mind would be sitting in her and her friends tree. Somone was in the tire swing. She came to the clearing, the girl's back to her, "who the bloody hell are you?" she asked demandingly.
-->The quiet was nice. She could hear the wind and the grass, the crickets and the far off noises of the tiny town. She liked noise, and was so used to it, she forgot what a bit of silence felt like. This was more peaceful than sleep.

Don't get her wrong; her heart was still in the city. Her mind and body was too. This was like one of those out-of-body experiences that people talk about, but quite different and less literal.

Evelyn turned to the voice. It was so familiar, even when annoying it sounded...good. She turned around. "It's been quite some time, Ashlynn, but I didn't really think you would forget me that quickly..." She smiled.

She stood, wiping the grass off of herself. "You look great." She added, still half-smiling. She wondered if Ashlynn would continue with the habit of shrugging Evelyn off, or if she would be the first to actually welcome her back.

She looked over at Ashlynn's animals. She was always surrounded by them. Well, maybe not surrounded but either horse or dog always accompanied her. She waited, wondering if Ashlynn actually did forget her. If she was nothing but a distant memory of a girl she once knew.
A N D N O W.......
Reagan Gladwell looked around her kitchen and up at hr parents. She smiled at the two widly and went back to her toast. Her father sat in his overalls reading the paper, and enjoying his coffee. Her mother was working on more pancakes for them all. Reagan groaned, if she ate one more pancake, her gut would burst. She quietly got up and kissed her father's cheek walking out of the kitchen and the house. She stepped on her house's front porch and took in the sun. Hrshorts stopped mid-thigh letting the sun warm her tan legs. Her green tank top clung to her loosly, and allowed the sun to graze her bare arms. She walked off the porch and over to her barn waking up Buttons, her horse. She patted his nose and saw her father had already fed him. She unlicked his stall and took him out. She was going to ride bare back for a bit.
Reagan smiled as the appolusa under her picked up speed and went into a canter. Her bare legsrubbed against the fine spotted fur of the horses stomache. She cantered off her lands and into the feilds of her small town. The horse's breathing quickened about as fast as Reagan's heat was beating. She loved riding Buttons through the feilds. It was grate practice. She slowed seeing someone over by the Apple tree. She blinking walking over to it, with Buttons taking her faster and easily. She stopped just behind it and smiled, she knew that face. Never could forget it."I never thought I'd say this, but girl I love your hair!" She looked over at Aj and laughed, "I can't beilieve you don't recognize her.... And they say I'm forgetful.."

R E A G A N G L A D W E L L
Ashlynn looked up at the girl and then before she could speak, regan rode up on buttons. She then looked closely and she gasped, "OH MY GOD!!" she squealed as she looked at her firend, "Evie, oh my word, how the hell..i thought you were..." she laughed as she went and joined the others. "wow, the hair is nice, but is that nose ring for real?' she asked as she watched patches try to jump up and lick Buttons nose. She gave her friend a huge hug, "wow, this is really a surprise." she said as she plopped down, forgeting about her nice shorts.

"This is amazing." she said as she looked up at her friend, suddenly feeling like a country bumpking standing next to her friend who looked like a frickin' cover girl for a magazine. She sighed as she felt a nudge and she saw buttons standing there. She petted the horse's nose and then stood up, letting the horse support her. "wow, look at you, you look really good." she said, still in shock that her best friend was right here. "when did you get back?" she asked as she looked at her friend. "oh and I got your present." she said as she held out her ankle, the sea green beads flashing in the afternoon sun.
Evelyn almost screamed with happiness. Finally, people were happy to see here. "I've missed you - both of you - ALL of you - so much!" She smiled. She hugged Ashlynn back and looked at her outstreached ankle. She was so glad she'd received the gift that she sent around Christmas-time, although it was probably a bit late. She saw it in a shop one afternoon after she's been working on some new designs, and just bought it immediately. That was the only way she liked to shop - when she saw something she wanted, she got it. She didn't go looking for stuff very often.

Evelyn smiled at Reagan. "Thanks. You look as beautiful as ever. Both of you do." She chirped, and looked at yet another animal. She felt a bit silly with her $200 shoes and her designer purse in a town like this. It was hard to enjoy finer things - materally, anyways - when few others were. That was part of the reason behind the gifts. Love and guilt, really.

"What's new? I know I can't catch up on two years of history, but a summary on recent events would be nice." She laughed. She was going to ask where everyone was, but she figured they were at home, seeing as only her parents, and now these two, knew she was home.
