Barely anything had changed in the ten years since they'd left for Russia, Danny Ivanova and Mae Pavlova could see how everything looked exactly the same as they had left it, as they drove down main street. All the shops and restaurants were the same, save for a boutique that used to be a sandwich shop.

They saw a few familiar faces as they drove, but nobody they had been particularly close with. Danny ran her fingers through her freshly dyed blue hair. About a week before this, they'd seen Maxxie Wilson. Mae had stood by while Danny and Maxxie reunited. Maxxie was going to move here to Felicity Valley, once they got everything settled of course.

"So, you wanna go by the Delaney's liquor store?" Mae asked. "Eh, I don't see why not. Kate probably works there now. Worst case scenario we'll see Brendan again." Danny jokingly scowled a bit. "If we're lucky, he's had some character development." Mae looked out the window.

"Yeah, but either way we'll score some alcohol. Lord knows we're gonna need a drink after everything that goes on today."

"Reunions sound stressful."

"Probably."

Danny pulled into the parking lot of the Delaney's liquor store. It looked exactly the same, which was comforting. The sisters got out of the car and went up to the door, hearing the bell ring. As they walked in, they saw a familiar blonde at the counter. She was situated on a chair, feet propped up on the counter, reading a book. She looked up.

"Hi, how can I-" She cut herself off and blinked several times before smiling and setting her book down on the counter and running towards the. "Is it actually you guys?" She clapped her hands, giggling like a little girl, before pulling both of them into a hug.

"I don't know why but, I thought you wouldn't recognize us." Mae laughed to herself. Kate let go and smoothed out the pleats of her skirt. "Well, you know- I'm sorry, I'm a little at a loss for words." She gestured around the shop, fluorescent lights aglow and buzzing. "Help yourself!"

"Thanks, Katie." Danny smiled and waved, walking around the shop. "It's nice to see she hasn't changed either. Shall we stop by Pang's after this?"

"YES!" Mae was louder than she admittedly should have been but still, could you blame her? She was about to see girlf again. They had grabbed a few bottles of vodka because stereotypes and from Kate they got a nice discount, or, as Kate had put it, a 'glad you're not dead' discount.

As they walked to the car, Mae suddenly said "Danny, I think we should wait. I'm not ready to see Selena yet. Can that please wait?" 

"Uh, sure. But why?"

"Char has no idea what to write there and she wants to make it her own separate story."

"Stop breaking the fourth wall, Mae." 

They hopped in the car, unsure of where to head to now. "Do you just wanna walk around?" Danny asked and the blonde nodded. They parallel parked on main street and walked down main street, where Pang's wasn't. They had their arms linked, as they walked down the street, looking at the familiar shops. A few had remodeled, but were largely the same.

As the two walked by a restaurant, there was Aurora Matthews and a black girl sitting outside. For a second, Mae thought it was Paige, but Paige had been taller. Right outside a local restaurant wasn't the best place for a reunion, but hey. Now or never. 

"Aurora?"                                                          

Aurora turned to look at them, before gasping excitedly. "Mae! Danny! Oh my god, Mae, you've grown up so much!" She stood up, hugging the girl. A few people looked up from their meals, smiled knowingly and waved. Nobody seemed to give a shit that they were spies but that made enough sense. This was Felicity Valley and you either had a criminal record longer than the constitution or you were Kate. Those were you only two options.

"Who's the new kid?"

Said kid slightly looked up and smiled the slightest bit before directing her attention to the table. "This is Lucie. Spelled with an I-E." Aurora introduced her. "She's been living here for the past four years, actually. But I guess that's new to you-"

"Hi." Lucie was soft spoken, just audible enough.

After a few words were swapped, Aurora offered for them to come over to her place. The sisters agreed. They dropped Lucie off at her place, before going to Aurora's (if things had worked out for them) and presumably Clover's house. It was a moderately small, two floor house that was pink. Aurora did always feel like the kind of person who'd have a pink house.

When they went inside, there was Clover Copeland, sprawled across a white couch and Samantha Anson sitting in a white armchair, both watching TV. Right as they came in, the Lewis sisters were greeted with wedding photos of Clover and Aurora.

"Wow, you couldn't have waited?" Mae jokingly asked. Aurora smiled and laughed and pulled the girls into the living room, where Clover and Samantha's mouths fell partly agape. Words of shock and hellos were exchanged, though Clover and Samantha seemed a bit more distant to the sisters.

Also, apparently Clover was a Matthews now. So, good for them.

A day later, after spending the night at Aurora's, they were told by Samantha to go talk to this Smirnov guy. So, they did that.
