A.N: Sorry, sorry, sorry, I can't apologise enough for the delay in updates! Firstly I had my exams, then my computer broke, destroying three other chapters of this that I had saved, and now, by the time I got a new one, got internet connection (which is now broken again) and started the Enterprise fanfic my friend Telaka has made me write, I am finally back to this. Anyway, on with the story.

Now We Know

We ran out of the cabin so fast I thought our legs were going to fall off. I don't know why because nothing Neil Kellerman could do to us would be worse than the fact that our parents couldn't tell us these things. None of us said anything to each other once we stopped running. We were in shock at what we had read and that was only half of it.

As we reached the bottom of the hill, we heard two familiar voices at the bottom of it.

"Come on Penny, I sang at the 1963 end of the season talent show, and if you're recreating the '60s then I should sing."

Lisa always wanted to sing, but no one ever lets her and after last Christmas we knew why! As we got closer I could see Penny roll her eyes and say in an insincere voice, "I'll think about it Lisa, I promise."

As Lisa walked away humming to herself happily, Penny caught sight of us. I thought she would flip, we had always been told not to go where we shouldn't mainly by her. I tried to think of an excuse to feed her, but she had lied to us all of these years, so we should teach her how to tell the truth. In the end I didn't have to though, she just smiled at us and asked both me and Andy to meet her in the disused Dance Hall we had found earlier today.

-----------------------------

Later that evening, Andy and I were on our way to meet Penny in the Dance Hall.

"I don't even know why we should go tonight, I mean why should we do her a favour after her lying to us all these years?"

Andy clearly felt the same way I did, although he was the only one brave enough to voice it.

When we arrived at the Dance Hall we heard sine very familiar lyrics:

"Now I've had the time of my life..."

We both knew immediately what was coming.

"Hey guys, now I have a huge favour to ask—"

"Why didn't you tell us what happened in 1963?!"

The anger inside me could no longer stay concealed. I couldn't do any favours for her when she didn't have the decency to tell us the truth.

Penny looked slightly confused, but she simply replied, "We have told you. Your mum came here when she was seventeen, she met your dad, they fell in love and they danced. And Andy, your parents got together on the night Johnny and Baby danced. It was the first time they had met, simple as that!"

Andy now looked as angry as I did. She knew that wasn't what we meant, and she was feeding us more lies. It was he who exploded before me.

"So you didn't have an abortion, Baby didn't date Neil Kellerman and Johnny didn't give Baby dance lessons 'cause she gave you $250 to get rid of your kid? Well Penny?"

I expected Penny to start more lies, to be shocked that we finally knew what she and our parents had done, but she simply smiled and said, "I guess you finally fond Johnny's diary then."

We both looked at her in surprise.

"Oh come on Katie, Andy, you guys and Jack aren't stupid. He left the diary there 'cause he knew you were like Baby and you would go looking for things that aren't our business—"

"Stuff like this IS our business! It's our parents!" I had to butt in because I couldn't believe she was saying this. Penny again simply smiled and went on with her story.

"As I was saying, I know it's your business, but do you understand how hard it is to tell your kids these things? When I told Claire and Kyle I had killed their sister, or brother, or whatever it was, it nearly killed me. The look in their eyes is something I'll never forget. Your parents didn't want to go through that so they left the diary knowing that you would find it and so they wouldn't have to tell you themselves."

I don't know if it was the look in Penny's eyes, or the fact that she was right, but I finally forgave not only her, but my parents too.

"So, what is it that you want us to do?"

A.N: Ok, there it is. Please r&r and I'll post more a.s.a.p. Also, thanks for all the reviews so far, although Elvisgirl I'm not sure what you meant by "The kids are gonna be in for a shock when they find out" – hopefully I've answered your statement. If not, let me know and I'll try to add it in chapter six.
