Their Return: Part 1

"I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, Nanny Louisa. This train isn't a bit smaller than the one we took a year ago." Sara said as she put her luggage in the overhead suitcase holder.

"Sara Stanley, I understand your Island relatives are of grave importance to you, but my dear child, I am not one to travel in this manner." Nanny Louisa said as she kept wobbling as the train moved. Sara chuckled at her. Sara removed her hat and fixed the few strands of her bright blond hair that has come untangled from her beautifully created hair style. She smoothed her white dress that she purchased in Paris. She took her seat and glanced over to the seat diagonal from hers. She saw a handsome young man who had his face buried in a book, he had a familiar face, almost as if she knew him. He looked up to catch her glancing at him. He opened his mouth in awe.
"Sara Stanley?" He said in a shocked-sounding voice. He looked around to make sure no train attendants were around to make him stay in his seat.
"Yes?" She said in a whisper.
"You don't know me?" He said putting a hand to his chest. She looked him up and down, and then it hit her.
"Andrew? Andrew King?" She laughed.
"Hello Sara." He smiled. She jumped up and wrapped her lace covered arms around him squeezing him. It had been years since she had seen Andrew. Andrew was one of the "long lost King cousins" eight years ago.
"I cannot believe this! Please tell me you are going to Avonlea!" She said loudly.
"I am! Are you?" He chuckled.
"Well yes! It's been an entire year for me. You missed Felicity's wedding!" She scowled.
"I was in South America, Sara." He shrugged.
Andrew removed his luggage from the overhead compartment and moved it over to Sara's seat.
Sara moved her handbag to the floor making a seat for Andrew.

Andrew and Sara were cohorts when they first arrived on the island, being new and all. They had to fight the wrath of Felicity and Felix's evil tricks.

"How long are you staying on the island?" Sara questioned.
"For a month or so. I miss everyone. How long have you been gone?" Andrew said.
"Over two years. I've been in Paris attending school. Though I'm graduated and ready to start my life in Montreal." She smiled. She glanced out the window, and she recognized what she saw.
"We're almost there, Andrew." She said grabbing his shoulder. Andrew felt an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach. It had been so long since he left Avonlea.
"Doesn't it feel great to be back?" She laughed. After conversing about their experiences since they'd left the island, they felt the train stop abruptly.

"NO BOARDING FROM CARMODY." The conductor said. Sara and Andrew got their luggage and ran off the train, and off they went to find their family. Nanny Lousia planned to come, but decided it would be best to let Sara visit the island alone, as she didn't like it.
"Bye Nanny Louisa, I will be back soon! She said waving to Nanny Louisa as the train headed back to the mainland.

"Sara Stanley?" Sara felt someone tap her shoulder. It sounded like a young mans voice. She turned around to see someone she knew very well.
"Felix King!" She jumped up and hugged him very tightly. "HOW ARE YOU?" She yelled still hugging him.
"Did you two know that the other was coming?" He chuckled.
"NO!" Sara hit Felix's shoulder. "Why didn't you say so in your letter?
"I ran out of ink." He laughed, jokingly.
"Gracious Providence, Felix you are almost unrecognizable." Sara said in mere shock.
"Same to you, Miss Stanley. Wearing the wavy blond hair in a bun." He pat her head.
"Doesn't Andrew look so much older?" Felix smiled. Andrew put his hand out to shake Felix's. If you remember, Andrew and Felix were quite the rivals back when. And that wasn't about to change.
"Where is everyone?" Andrew questioned.
"They sent me here to pick you up. We need to get going, if we don't get back, Aunt Hetty may fall over from nervousness"

And off they went... Back to King Farm
