Guys, guess what? It's the sequel. For Repairing the Past. Before I start school too! And I'm so excited for this because I think this is the most successful story I've ever written yet and I want to continue making you all happy so I'm hoping this story will come out as good as the prequel.

Thank you so much for the reviews for Repairing the Past and to answer LoveLoverGrl, I will try to focus on May and Drew but you have to remember, the story is about Leaf and Gary from the beginning and I don't plan on changing that. You will understand why it's mainly Oldrival though and fear not, this story will still contain the usual shippings! And as for PrincessofDestiny14, I'm sorry that last chapter of Repairing the Past had a crappy ending but that's how I wanted it to end so I'm sorry it wasn't what you anticipated for.

Yes, I know the title is totally cliché but it went well with the plot so I'm just going to stick with this title, okay? If you have any suggestions, then feel free to leave it. Now, story time!

Remember The Past

Chapter One: How Have You Been?

Leaf's POV

Six years already, huh? Since that incident. I admit, I was stupid for ever agreeing to the whole thing but it was all for him. It was best for him to go through with it anyway if it meant he could stay alive.

"Mommy!" I was snapped from my train of thoughts when I heard my little girl's voice and turned around. She was running with full speed as I bent down and opened my arms for her to run into.

"Were you good today? You didn't cause trouble for Uncle Danny or his mom, did you?" I inquired in a child-like voice.

It wasn't like me to act like a child, but ever since she came along, I had to in order to keep a smile on her face and her smile made me smile. She had his smile.

Danny chuckled. "Don't worry, Leaf. She didn't cause trouble at all. If anything, it's this little guy who didn't want to take his nap." He eyed the boy who stood near his legs while he pouted and crossed his arms.

We both laughed. "Yeah, he's got May's stubbornness, I see," I stated truthfully.

It was true. Elliott had mostly of May's personality but his looks were no doubt from his father. He inherited May's brown locks, yes, but his eyes were definitely Drew's emerald irises.

"Aunt Leaf," he began, catching my attention. "Is my mom home yet?"

I took a quick glance at my watch. "She should be coming back right now. Why don't you come home with me and Mandy and we'll wait for her there?" I offered. It wasn't anything new. Elliott stayed over often whenever he waited for May to get off work. "You can play with Mandy while I cook."

He nodded and immediately left Danny's side for my hand. "I'll see you tomorrow then, Uncle Danny."

He chuckled and ruffled both their hair. "Alright, I'll see you two tomorrow then."

"Thanks again for watching Mandy. The sandwich shop has been so busy lately."

He offered me a smile. "It's no problem, Leaf. Besides, I like spending time with these two rascals anyway."

"We're not rascals!" they yelled in unison. We both laughed and he bid goodbye before heading back to his own house.

I looked over at the river and sighed. It reminded me so much of him. The calmness of the river reflected so much on his character. No, snap out of it Leaf, just forget about him. I looked over at the two kids again and placed my five year old daughter down. "Come on, let's go home now."

It wasn't a long walk home. Well at least for us residents who had been living in Village Bridge for a while now. We had grown accustomed to this that the bridge was a piece of cake to walk through. Besides, it filled in for great exercise and the place was calm and safe enough that people take night walks out too if whenever it was too hot.

I allowed Mandy and Elliott to walk ahead while I walked a little behind. They were energetic for five year olds, but I guess they inherited the personalities. Mandy. She was someone unexpected to be honest. She just came along and now, she's my whole world. Her carefree smiles and her light gentle giggles all reminded me of, well, me when I was her age. Her hair was a beautiful shade of brown, probably a coffee color, and it only reached her mid-back. She just would not let me cut an inch of her hair, stating that she would look ugly if she had short hair. Seems like she obtained a bit of vanity from him.

"Mommy," she called.

I diverted my attention to the source of her voice and no doubt she was outside the while painted gate with Elliott, waiting for the gate to be opened. I smiled at the two pair and jogged my way to them to open it up with the key. They ran into the yard and started playing with the toys left outside while I locked the gate. "Don't go outside or talk to strangers, okay?" I warned. "Come in when it get's dark."

They both nodded and I headed inside the house to start cooking. I decided to let my hair grow out so now it reached waist, which got in my way often when I had to cook so I had to tie it up in a messy bun, allowing some shorter strands in the front to frame my face. I always did like this hairstyle for a reason.

It wasn't long after till I got a phone call from May. I pressed the accept button and set on speaker while I grabbed some ingredients for dinner. "Hey, May, what's up?"

"Elliott is with you right?" she asked. I replied with a simple yes as she sighed. "Okay, tell him I'm almost home then."

"Sure thing, May. Hey, I'm making Chicken Alfredo tonight. Did you want to stay and have some?" I looked outside at the two kids. "Elliott and Mandy seem to be having fun," I added.

"Yeah, sure I would love to. Oh, and would it be alright if Misty and Dawn came too. They really wanted to see the two so they stopped by Lacunosa today at the flower shop."

"Of course. It's been a while since I've last seen them anyway. I'll make extra then." We both bid our goodbyes before hanging up and I got right to work.

Heartbeat stopped with music six years ago right after May and I moved here. Fans of us were disappointed but they were still happy to see us whenever we were nominated for music awards and well, we usually won most of them. I guess, now we're just taking a break from the music industry and just living the lives of normal people. We still loved our music though. I still played the piano, the keyboard playing really helped through those years, and the acoustic guitar while May stuck with guitar along with Dawn who played a bit of piano and Misty continued the drums, though she did learn a bit of guitar from Dawn. Yup, so even though we quit the music business, we still continued the instruments we love. Even Mandy and Elliott were urging us to teach them.

I let a sigh out. Being famous was fun, I would admit that but I missed being normal and I was able to act more of myself whereas being famous I had to watch what I did to avoid attention. Another sigh. I shouldn't be thinking about this now! I shook my head and continued with the recipe. About half an hour later, a car engine could be heard dying down while the two kids who were now inside rushed to the door.

"If you two stand too close to the door, it'll hit you when it opens," I joked playfully after placing the Alfredo in the oven.

Mandy and Elliott moved out of the way to let me reach the door to open it up for the girls. When I opened the door, I was met with a certain bluenette, who latched herself onto me. "It's so great to see you again, Leaf!"

I returned the hug and smiled. "I missed you too, Dawn." We released and she handed me something.

"I believe I owe a little girl a birthday gift. Sorry I couldn't make it to her fifth birthday. Had some trouble with the clothing company."

I smiled and accepted the gift. "It's okay, Dawn. You didn't have to though, Mandy understands."

"Is that for me?" the little girl asked gleefully, stars in her eyes.

Dawn giggled and took the gift from my hand. "Yep, that's your late birthday gift. Oh, a give this to Elliott too. I ran across it and thought he might like it." She handed my daughter a blue bag and she ran back inside to the boy.

"You spoil them too much, Dawn," the red-head piped. I turned to her and she smiled. "Long time huh, Leaf?"

"You have no idea. How's Ash?"

"Good, still the same as ever." We giggled. "But, I wouldn't want him any other way," she added.

We all 'aww'-ed until May piped up. "Why don't we all go inside? It's getting a little chilly out here."

Huh, I forgot we were still outside. I opened the door wider as they all piled into the house and into the kitchen, ready to help me set up the table. Just like old times.

Even though the kitchen right now wasn't as big as our old one, it still grew onto me. Ever since May and I moved here, the villagers here were nothing more but kind to us, giving us a nice house to live in. We managed to do a bit of customizing though so it'd make us feel as if it were home. This kitchen was just fine with me, no matter how small it was. It was perfect for just me and my daughter with the occasional Elliott and May.

Dawn set the plates onto the cream white table while Misty placed the utensils next to it and May was helping with the drinks. I on the other hand, got the Alfredo out and started to let it cool down.

When it was cooled down, I got even amounts and placed it on each plate and left the leftovers over on the counter in case anyone wanted more. With our fast metabolism we were able to pretty much eat whatever we wanted, much to May's delight. Misty got the two kids in and then dinner started, with ex-pop stars, Heartbeat with two kids.

When we were finished, Misty and Dawn volunteered to help with the dishes since it was past Mandy's bedtime and she still had yet to shower and May had to bring Elliott home. She gave Misty and Dawn a hug before going out to her car and drove home, leaving just us. "Alright, I'll take my little girl to shower and sleep and you two can leave first if you want," I suggested before dragging the little brunette to give her a shower.

"Mommy, can you tell me a bedtime story?" she asked when I tucked her in.

I thought for a while and nodded. "Which story do you want to hear?"

"About you and Daddy," she answered cheekily. I winced slightly but luckily she didn't catch it.

"You heard it so many times already though," I reasoned. She pouted and gave me that puppy dog look. Damn it, she was too good. "Okay, okay."

I sighed, sliding next to her on bed while her head rested on my lap. Instinctively, I started to run my fingers through her hair.

"We met when we were very little, five years old actually, like you. We didn't like each other at first, be then we became the best of friends, and when we were growing up, Mommy started to have feelings for him. But, Mommy thought he didn't like her so she would keep it as a secret. Then, one day, when we were in high school, he went out with a girl and Mommy felt very jealous to the girl. When she asked Daddy why he would go out with that girl, he asked her why she would care. Of course, she didn't want to say it, but he got it out of her and then, they started to go out," I finished.

I looked down at her only to find her already asleep and smiled. With a kiss on the forehead, I gently placed her head down to her green and white striped pillow, trying not to wake her. I fixed her sheets so she would stay warm and then headed out the door, letting her sleep peacefully.

When I got downstairs to the living room, I found Misty and Dawn on the sofa, watching some TV. "What are you two still doing here?"

Dawn flicked it off. "Paul's been reporting to us about the news on him," she said seriously.

Misty nodded in agreement. "And well, it seems like he's successful now. He followed under Professor Oak's footsteps and became a researcher. He and the guys moved down to Castelia and so they live there now," she reported.

"You mean he never met with you two yet since the surgery?" I questioned.

They shook their heads. "If we did meet him, he might interrogate us about you along with Drew about May. At least with the guys they can just simply tell him that they don't know where you two are at. Drew kept asking us about May at first, but after we kept telling him the same thing, he just stopped. I guess he just found it useless to keep asking us," Dawn explained.

"As for Gary," Misty added. "He hasn't asked us anything yet. I'm assuming he believes the story that they don't know where you're at."

I grimaced at the clock and my eyes widened. "It's already ten thirty, shouldn't you two being going now? You have work tomorrow right?"

They both groaned. "I miss those days when all we did was write songs," Dawn complained with Misty nodding in the back.

I giggled. "There will be time for that again. But seriously, you two need to go now. Mandy has school tomorrow and Chris is making me show up early for business. I think she needs more workers."

They both stood up and headed for the door. "Okay we'll leave now but we will be back on Saturday," Misty planned.

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Alright, alright. Oh, and tell Ash and Paul I said hi!" I called when they reached their cars. The both winked at me and left as I closed the door and locked it.

I went to my room and took out the picture of us. The last one we ever took together and looked at up at the starry sky. "How are you doing, Gary?"

And there it is! I know it's kind of short but more will be revealed next chapter. This was more of a prologue-ish chapter anyway but at least you all know what happened to the girls. Next chapter will be focused on the guys and see how they are doing as well so I hope you'll all be prepared for that.

Uh, since Village Bridge isn't on the anime yet, I only used the info I know from the game and because Lacunosa town looked nice and everything I decided to add a Flower Shop there. As for Dawn and Misty's careers, Dawn's a fashion designer as you all probably figured when she brought up the clothing and Misty, you'll know soon enough. ;D

School is starting soon for me. On August 30th, I'll be going back as a sophomore and see people I don't like and that'll mean I won't have much time to update. I am deeply sorry I haven't updated a lot during this summer but my tiredness can only hold on for so long before I knock out in the afternoon for a nap. Again, I am sorry but at least I managed to finish one story and start a new one!

So, to finish this off, please review and tell me how I did. I love to read your opinions on it and your words really do motivate me to make my chapters better and possibly longer so please, send me some kind words! Haha, okay, I'll leave with that note so REVIEW and I'll update as soon as possible, byee!
