Norm Rolls over and Pick up his cellphone, Fiddles with it a bit and put it’s up to his ear.
“’Ello...?” He mumbles.
“Norm!!” A familiar voice cries on the other end.
“Sammy...?!” Norm asks.
“You remembered my name!” Sam laughs along with Norm.
“Gee, Sammy, Great to hear from you, what’s it been, a whole year now?” He asks trying to remember the last time they talked.
“Almost, You came to my forty-sixth birthday. That’s the last I saw you.”
NOTE: I have changed the ages around for my convince. Making them younger makes everything easier. Everything has still happened, Diane and Rebecca have past, as well as the final episode, I have just made them about 20 years younger than normal. Work with me here.
“So much for ‘stay in touch’” Norm Chuckled. “So Sammy, why the sudden call..? I was catching a few Z’s before I finish painting this wall.”
“Ahh, Still working for Larrie’s Painting Co.?”
“No, Vera’s bathroom”
“Ahah. Nice. Listen Norm, Have you been talking to Cliff?”
“Here and there, Why?”
“Iv already talked to Carla, Fraiser and Woody, and now I’m here with you. We are having a reunion party. I’m hosting it. Will you come?”
“Sure, Sammy! Ill get hold of Cliff If you want me too, Or just give you his number, he has a girl now you know. Name’s Jelean. Anyway, his Number is, uhh.. 559...-9021.”
“Okay thanks Normy.” Sam says after writing it down.
“So why the party Sam..?”
“Well, Norm, I’m reopening Cheers."

-Cheers logo-
Woody slowly opens the door to Cheers and Spots sam behind the bar, alone. Woody was the first to arrive.
“Sammy?” Woody asks and Sam turns around.
“Woody!!!” Sam cries and Runs over and greets him with a big Guy-Hug. “How have you been man!? Augh, Where’s Kelly? Don’t tell me you guys are broken up?”
“No way Sam! We’re married now! And she’s five Month’s pregnant too!” He cried. Sam’s mouth dropped.
“Congratulations Woody!” Sam said and gave him another hug. “Where is she anyway...?”
“Oh, She’s real tired now Sam. She’s taking a nap at the house, I figured I go back and pick her up in about an hour.” He told Sam as they walked over to the bar. “But how about this place Sam! It’s so much cleaner! How much redecorating did you do?”
“About on weeks worth. I renewed my Alcohol Lysends too.” Sam Told him.
“That’s great! This place has so many memories for me, Oh! One of my biggest memories is...” Then Woody Stopped, Sam Gave him a confused look.
“Go on Woody.” Sam Said Woody Glanced away.
“Maybe I shouldn’t, It might make you sad Sam.” He told him Sam Laughed.
“No no Wood! Tell me, Come’ on.” He said and Woody Smiled.
“Promise? Sam... Well, okay.” Woody said and looked around making sure they where the only ones there.
“Every time I think of this place, and I don’t know why... I think Of Miss Chambers.” Woody Said. “But only if You’re here too.”
Sam’s Heart skipped a beat.
“Why’s that?”
“I’m not sure. Miss Chamber’s was so nice to me, this place just doesn't feel the same when she’s not here, even after all these years.” He said, Sam looked down and then back up at Woody.
“I think I know what you mean, Woody.” He said.
“When was the last time you saw her, Sam?” Woody Asked, Sam looked Around and Sighed.
“Fourteen to the day Woody.” Sam said and Smiled slyly.
NOTE: This would mean that he was 32 when he last saw her. 26 When Shelly Long left in the 5th season. And 21 whene he first opend the bar. I know younger than it should be, but again, work with me here, It all works out later, you'll see. :P
“Your reopening on the same day on perpose aren’t you Sam...?” Woody asked and Sam nodded. “I thought it’s been longer than Fourteen years.”
“Twenty years ago today was the day we where going to be married. But she came back fourteen years ago, then we said good-bye for good.” Sam Explained.
Woody nodded.
“Yeah, that’s what I remember.” He said, Silence rose before Woody spoke again. “You've been counting all these years? Why?”
“Augh, Woody, I just never could get her off my mind!” Sam said shaking his head.
“Well, Iv never forgotten about her, so maybe it’s a curse or something.” Woody said, and they laughed a bit.
“Okay, Well, Woody!” Sam started talking as he made his way around the Bar and Over to Woody. “The reason I called you hear before everybody else was because I need to tell you something that’s very important, and ask for your advice.”
“Gee, really Sam, you chose me...?” Woody asked happily.
“Yes Woody. You see, I’m reopening Cheers, but, I don’t think I want to run it, you know, be the boss. So soon, Ill start my search for a new boss, but right now, I’m able to hire whoever I want, and I was wondering if you’d like to work here again.” Sam told him and Woody’s eyes lit up.
Woody stood up.
“Sam, no way, I can’t be the boss.” He said putting his hands up.
Sam looked at him and chuckled.
“No, no, no Woody. I think I should look for a new owner for Cheers and become just a barkeep. You can be a barkeep too!” Sam Said, and Woody paused.
“Gee, Thanks Sam! I'd love too!” He said and hugged him tightly, sam shrugged him off and looked at him.
“I still need my question answered Woody. Do you think it would be a bad idea to get a new owner?” He said.
“I don’t think so, I mean, Do you think It was a bad idea to sell the bar to Rebecca?” Woody asked sarcastically.
Sam just looked at him.
“Are you saying it’s a stupid idea.”
“No Sam! I think It a good idea. You could heir a new guy this time!”
Sam looked at him.
“And a girl waitress!”
“Yeah, I like the way you think Woody. Let me get you a soda.” Sam said, knowing Woody wasn’t a big drinker.
“Who are you going to heir?” Woody asked sipping at his soda.
“I... I don’t know yet Woody. I figure that Ill forget about that for now. Concentrate on the reunion.” He said and smiled.
Suddenly a crowed of people barged threw the door. Sam looked up to see Carla, Fraiser, Norman, and Cliff standing there.
"Let the reunion begin."
samanddiane4eva 09-11-2007, 06:01 PM Ohhh.... Me likey!
Megara 09-12-2007, 06:52 AM Note: (Just so eveerybody knows) Ill try and update it as much as possible. I do go to high School, So it won't be really easy, but Ill try my best.
Also, this is going to be a big Sam/Diane Fiction. If I tell you more, it will spoile the story line.
Thanks SO much for reading. =D
samanddiane4eva 09-15-2007, 06:54 PM School comes first. Just update when you have time.
Megara 09-16-2007, 06:35 PM Here it is. :)
Tell me what you think.
The reunion was off to a great start. Sam scouted the area not understanding how everybody could change so much in the past few years.
Norm was as always, his eyebrows looked much more thick though, if that was possible, and his hair looked colored. Probably Vera’s doing, Sam thought.
Carla was still short, maybe a bit taller, or maybe it was Sam who shrunk... She diffidently grew a bit, Sam thought. She always looked older than she really was, but that was demolished by her personality.
Cliff was as talkative as ever. Now he talked about Jelean, his new, (Not to mention one of the first) Girlfriend. Cliff sure hadn’t changed much, though, his hair did seem a tad more gray.
Fraiser, if possible, seem to have less hair than normal. Though his personality remained. He told everybody about how he hadn’t found anybody after Lilith left, and that they remained good friends for Fredrick’s sake.
Sam was very happy to have everyone back, they chatted away, poked fun at one and other and had a very good time.
Though, something, or somebody was missing, was it Rebecca...?
“Well,” Woody said, interrupting Sam’s thought, “I’ll go and get Kelly now?”
It was about one hour and a half into the reunion.
“Yes! Go get Kelly, I would love to see her!” Fraiser said.
“I hear she’s pregnant,” Carla Said, “Tell her if she needs any tips, To see MOI!” Woody smiled.
“That’s okay, Carla.” Woody said and left. Sam figured now would be a good time to tell them what he had told Woody. So he did, he announced that he would be looking for a new Co-owner, hopefully a male this time, and maybe a few new waitresses. And that a place had already been reserved for Woody and Carla, if they wished for the new job offer. The pay, Sam told them, would be much better, considering the amount of time they had worked her in the past, and the fact they all had families.
“Are you for real Sammy?” Carla asked and he nodded. “I’m love to work here again Sam! Iv been living off a waitress job down at Jewels.”
“Sam, if I may, I know a young lad who Gary once hired, who quit because he became depress after the death of his fiancé. I met him threw my profession. He’s much better now and is looking for work, you should call him up Sam.” Fraiser said, Sam grimaced.
“I don’t know.” He said.
“No, really Sam, He is very intelligent, and has past experiences with a bar. Not to mention Gray would absolutely hate the fact you snatched up one of his best employes.” Fraiser continued. “Let me just call him over here for a half hour.”
“Couldn’t do any harm Sam.” Carla said, Rummaging threw some boxes, and pulling out her old Red Socks apron.
“Fine, fine, call him up Fraise.” Sam said finally. “He’s not staying for long though, eh? This is our night.”
No, no.” Fraiser said, walking over to the phone. “Just to meet him, he may go back to Gary’s, so we must act fast.”
“Your, ah, really gonna’ go threw with this new owner thing, aren’t cha’ Sammy?” Cliff asked, and Norm grunted as a way of asking the same question.
“Just a co-owner, it’s still going to be my bar, but I need somebody to help me out. He’ll be a bartender too.” Sam said. “I have a feeling Cheers will be even more popular then before, I need all the help I can get.”
“I think it’s a good idea Sam, a few new people could be good for the bar. As long as it isn’t anybody who may be similar to you-know-who.” Carla said and everybody froze.
They where all thinking of the same person, Diane Chambers. But who dared comment on it. Carla slouched to her side.
“Like any of you forgot about her.” Carla said and everybody smiled a bit.
“Me and, uhh, Woody where talking about her just, uhh, today.’ Sam Said. “I think a part of her just won’t leave the bar.”
Carla was about to say something smart when Fraiser returned.
“He’s on his way.” Fraiser stated. “He doesn't live far away, he should be here soon.”
Sam nodded and took a sip of his coffee just as Woody walked into the bar with Kelly, whom where greeted with a warm cheer.
“Kelly!” Sam said. “What can I get you? Milk, water?”
“Oh thank you Sam, Ill have some water.” She said and slowly sat down on one of the stools.
“How far along are you now Kelly?” Norm asked. Carla ran around the bar to Kelly.
“No! Let me guess!” She said and looked at Kelly’s belly. Everybody watched as the little clocks in her head turned.
“Five months, two weeks.” She said finally and Woody clapped.
“That’s right Carla! How did you know.” He asked.
“When you've been pregnant as many times As I have, you just know.” Carla said.
A few minutes pasted of talking before it was interrupted once again. Fraiser spotted Ryan, his client, walking down the steps and to the door. He ran to greet him and let him in.
When Sam first saw him, it was like looking in a mirror, only younger. Ryan was very, very good-looking, in shape and had hair to kill for. Sam knew this could be the kid he was looking for.
Ryan walked in and, odd and it seems, fit right in, Carla insulted him and he came back at her with one better. Sam asked him what sports he played and it turns out he played for a baseball and hockey league before his depression. And when Cliff began to show off his fake knowledge of hockey, Ryan was quick to shut him up. It turns out that Ryan is also very popular with girls, just as Sammy was. Only thing is, Ryan was engaged to a girl.
As the gang got to know him better Fraiser pulled Sam off to the side.
“Well?” He asked.
“I like him.” Sam said. Fraiser smiled.
“I knew you would, he’s a nice guy. Do you think your going to heir him? I told him you where looking for a part time bartender, so anything higher would be accepted by him for sure.”
“I think I might. Not co-owner right now, of course, but as a full time, I’m thinking about asking him.” Sam said.
“He would do brilliantly Sam, you won’t be letdown by Ryan.” Fraiser said as they made their way back to him.
“Ryan, what say you to a full time job here at Cheers?” Sam said and everybody cheered a bit.
“For real Sam?” He said, and smiled, showing his white, clean, teeth.
“Why not?” Sam said and patted his back.
“I’d love to Sam!” He said, everybody clapped again.
“Well, this isn’t opening day, so you’ll start tomorrow okay?” Sam asked and Ryan agreed.
Just as Ryan was getting ready to leave a girl, soaked to the bone walked in. It was raining out, but it must have started to pour harder in the last five minutes. She walked in and was looked at by all. She looked like somebody, but they couldn’t say who.
“Hello, My name’s Selina. I know Cheers isn’t open today, but I need you used your phone.” She said and Sam nodded.
“Sure, be my guest.” He said, not sure what else to say. Carla glanced at Norm and Cliff, who knew what they where thinking, who dose she look like?
Selina began to walk towards the pay phone down the hall.
“Thanks so much, again, sorry to barge in, my car broke down.” She explained, as Sam pulled out a new cordless phone from behind the bar.
“Use this one.” He said and she smiled as she took it.
She dialed a number and everybody watched, not knowing they where.
“Hi, Brad?” She said after a few seconds. “Brad? ... Who is this? This is Selina. What do you mean Selina WHO? Selina Malone! Brad’s girlfriend. Who are you? Maya? ... Brad’s what? Girlfriend!! Where is Brad?” She looked like she was about to cry now, Sam watched and glanced around, everybody didn’t know what to do.
She continued talking after a few seconds, only now it was much more quiet.
“He did?... No, I missed the message, I guess. No, I’m okay, Yes, thank you.” She said and click the off button. She turned to face everybody, tears, or rain water from her hair, steamed down her face. She gave the phone to Sam, who put it back. Nobody knew what to say, Selina began to walk away when Ryan grabbed her arm. Then realizing he did that, let go.
“Uhh, Sorry... Umm, I know it’s none of my business, but are you okay? What happened?” He asked, she sighed, trying to slow down her crying.
“He cheated on me.” She said.
“Who?” Ryan asked.
“My boss. We where going out, and now, I’m.. I’m..” She began to cry again. “Fired!”
She broke down crying and Ryan patted her back.
“It’s okay, miss, umm, Malone.” Ryan said and looked over at Sam.
“Do you know her Sam?”
“I don’t think so, Do I miss?” Sam asked and she wiped her eyes and looked at him, sniffed a bit too.
“Why *Sniff* would I?” She asked.
“My last name Is Malone too.” Sam explained.
“Oh,*Sniff* No, I don’t think so. *Sniff*” She said and sat down on a stool, next to Kelly. She opened her purse and pulled out a tissue, that was wet. She began to sob again.
“Oh, don’t cry.” Kelly said. “So you got fired, so he cheated on you. You’ll find somebody else. And finding a new job shouldn’t be that hard. What are you qualified to do?”
“Nothing. *Sniff*” Selina said and wiped her eye.
Kelly looked up at Sam.
“Well, where did you work with, uhh, Brad?” Woody chimed in.
“Oh, I worked as a waitress at Gary’s, I was the replacement for a guy who left not to long ago.” She stopped crying a bit and smiled. “Lucky me, hun? Fired from the only job I could find, from a guy who is cheating on me, on the rainiest day of April.”
Sam glanced at Carla, Than at Norm and Cliff.
“Umm, Selina, could you excuse me for one second.” Sam Said, and looked at everybody else. “Guys.”
Everybody stood up and walked over to the back room with Sam. Once there they knew what was on his mind.
“She seems nice, just a little off today.” Sam said and Woody nodded, along with Ryan.
“I like her. I think she would be a good waitress, maybe not forever, but for now.’ Ryan said.
“It would help her out in her time of need. All she needs is a few friends.” Fraiser said and Ryan nodded in agreement.
Sam looked at Carla.
“You've been quiet, what do you think?” Sam asked.
“She reminds me of somebody, but with a last name like Malone, who am I to judge? You should take her in Sammy.” Carla said, Norm Nodded.
“I wonder if she is related to to Sam.” He said, Cliff steeped up.
“95% chance of that Sammy.” He said, Sam smiled.
“I doubt she is, I know my family pretty well, anyway, lets go get her.” Sam said and the group made their way back into the main room. Selina was still there, wiping the mascara off her face with napkins.
“Selina!” Sam said. “I want to help you out. What say you to working here?” Selina face lit up.
“Re... Really, umm, Mister Malone?!” She said, everybody nodded, not realizing they did, “I would love to!”
Kelly smiled and hobbled over.
“See?” She whispered to Selina. They smiled.
“Yeah, you start tomorrow, how’s that, opening day.” Sam said.
“Oh, thank you so much Mister Malone!” She cried.
After working out the times and whatnot, Ryan drove Selina home. Finally The gang was free to continue the reunion, even more so than before, for now the new waitress and bartender jobs, where filled.
samanddiane4eva 09-17-2007, 08:08 PM I'm still hooked.
Megara 09-22-2007, 12:13 PM THREE WEEKS LATER.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! Would you stop everything if going fine.”
“He’s not here yet, I’’m just getting worried.”
“Shut it, Stick.”
“Carla!”
“What?!”
“Don’t call her that. You know who it reminds everybody of.”
“Meh.”
“Shhh! Shhh! What was that?”
*Faint talking*
“Is that Ryan?”
“I ehh, Uhh, Think so.”
“Quite, Cliff, He’s coming!”
Ryan walked into the door of Cheers on March the 10th, knowing it was his birthday. The lights where out and as he reached for them the flicked on. Out jumped the whole gang with the ever so cliché act for a surprise birthday.
Balloons filled the floor of Cheers, blue ant white only, Ryan’s favorite color. Ryan made his way down, kicking them out of his way to hug his friends.
“Thanks guys.” He said with a smile as he gave Woody a quick hug.
“It was actually Selina’s idea.” Woody commented.
“I though you hated clichés?” Ryan joked and gave her a hug.
“I do, but if it’s in your favor...”
“Okay, I get it.” He stopped her before she could insulate him. She smiled and handed him a small package, rapped very neatly with a tiny bow on top, with curly little ribbons exiting from each side. Ryan went for it.
“Oh, no! Not hers first it will make ours seem like nothing. Here, take mine.” Carla ordered, and shoved a present in his hand.
“Uhh, Thanks,” He said, Selina Rolled her eyes and sat up of the bar. Ryan looked at the poorly rapped present and chuckled. “Easter rapping?”
“You've got a problem with that?”
“Not at all. It’s very un-cliché.” He said as he unwrapped it.
He puled out a nice-looking watch. He smiled and turned it around to look at the time, It has his name engraved into the sides.
“Thanks Carla!” He said and gave her a hug. “Help me to put it on.”
“He you go, Ryan.” Friaser said handing him a small package. “Lillith picked it out for you.”
“I though you two where divorced?” Ryan asked taking it.
“Not really, We stayed together for Fredrick's sake, really. She still has my last name, but we don’t live together anymore.” He explained.
Ryan opened Friaser’s gift to find a very classy looking wallet.
“Open it.” Fraiser said. He opened it to find money. “The money is from Fredrick and I.”
There was al least 100 dollars there. Ryan thanked him.
Next was Sam’s, Norm’s, and Cliff’s Gift.
“We let Sammy pick it out.” Norm explained.
“Good idea.” Ryan chuckled as he opened the little bag to find a little black book. He laughed.
“Just something that may come in handy as it did for me.” Sam laughed picking up his Book.
“Thanks Sam.” He said and gave him a quick hug.
“Now for Selina’s gift.” Carla mocked.
Selina slid down from the bar counter and handed him the beautifully wrapped gift. He began to open it when he saw the letters ‘ip”. He looked up at Selina.
“No.” He said. “Not and ipod.”
“It’s not an ipod.” She stated, Carla sighed.
He teared a bit more of the wrapping off and saw the word “iphone”.
“Selina!”
“What?”
“I can’t take this. It’s too expensive! Your just a waitress, how could you afford it?” He yelled Selina’s eye narrowed.
“Her mommy bought it, and a prepaid three year plan. For you, everything is free. Over 1000 minutes a week!” Carla said, Selina shoved her.
“Shut it.” She ordered. “Ryan, it’s your birthday, take it.”
“No!” He cried and threw her hands up.
“Why?!” She scream, he voice cracked a bit.
Norm glanced over at Cliff.
“Cat Fight.” He chuckled.
“I don’t want something this expensive!” Ryan continued, and began walking to the door.
“What are you doing? Returning your phone? Because, you can’t. I already singed the contract. If you want to take it back, you’ll need my signature!” She yelled back, following him. He sighed in anger.
“You what? Why!” He yelled.
“Can’t you just except the gift?” She screamed. “How rude can you get, Ryan!?”
“I’ll take it!” Carla yelled., Ryan ignored her.
“I can’t afford this, Selina!”
“You don’t have too! What’s your problem?” She yelled. He shoved the unopened gift into he hands.
“I can’t afford something like this. Ill feel bad about taking it, how can I top a gift like this when your birthday comes?” He said. Selina looked at him with a confused glare.
“Top it? My God your a Snob! I don’t care about how expensive a gift is! Why should I? It’s the thought that counts you know.”
“Then why didn’t you get me something smaller?” He yelled.
“Because, Iv never had a real friend before you guys! People who I knew before used to love stuff like this! How should I know what to get you!” She screamed. Ryan stopped and looked at her, feeling guilty.
“Just open it will you?” She said and gave it back to him.
He looked at Sam who nodded along with everybody else.
Ryan opened it, expecting to see a black, ordinary iphone, that he had seen on TV so many times, but this one was a light blue, custom made iphone, complete with an engravement that said: “Ryan Adams’ iphone”. He looked back up at Selina.
“This is a huge gift, I can’t take this, I won’t, I don’t want too.” He said, Selina looked crushed. “I don’t want it.”
Selina opened her mouth to say something but her phone started to ring. She yanked out a Motorola Pink Razor from her side pocket and flicked it open with her hand.
“Hello?” She said, then a faint voice came from the other end. Selina turned away from Ryan and went over by the counter. “Yeah, I gave it to him, mum... Yeah, he, uhh.” She looked at Ryan, “He loves it. Yeah, he, uhh, says thanks. Yup. Thanks again for getting it mom. Yeah, his name’s spelt right. I think so. Okay. Love you, bye mom.”
She closed her phone and looked at Ryan.
“You’ll have to return it secretly now.” She stated, emotionlessly. Ryan’s guilt spread around the room, Even Norm felt bad.
“Ugh, Selina.” She sighed. “Ill keep it.” He looked back at her. “I do really want it... Thanks.”
Selina smiled a bit, but it was more of a science breaker, even though she didn’t make a sound.
“Your welcome.” She said, he walked over and hugged her.
“New record!” Carla yelled. “Fight resolved in 6 minutes 25 Seconds! Personal best!”
Megara 09-26-2007, 06:24 PM “Brr Brrr Brrr Ing!”
*Poke*
“I’m Brin’g Sexy Back...”
*Poke*
“Arr Ya’ Ready kids? Eye Eye Cap’tn!”
*Poke*
“I don’t know, Selina, maybe I should stay with the normal ring tone.” Ryan said and poked his iPhone again.
“You need to have a cool ring tone.” Selina insisted, Ryan sighed.
Carla walked up to the bar and placed her tray down.
“A draft Ryan.”
“I mean, everybody has the normal ring tone, you need a new one.” Selina continued.
“Why don’t you get that one song... Uhh, the one that drives Selina crazy? That one Nickleback.” Carla said.
“Yeah, Why don’t I?” Ryan grinned.
“Or you could stick with the ring tone.” Selina Replied. She glanced over at his iphone. 1:58 AM. She looked up. “Last call.”
There was a groan from the few people left. Norm slid his mug down the bar and got up.
“Have I ever kicked you out of your home?” He asked sarcastically.
“No, but we do it to you every night.” Selina Smiled.
“I wish...” Norm Sighed. “Bye everybody.”
“Bye Norm.” Ryan and Carla chimed in, Followed by ‘Norman’ From Selina.
“Cliffy, Drive me home.” Norm said as he walked out of the door.
“You missin’ Vera?” He asked.
“No, I meant your home.” Norm replied as he disappeared out of sight. Selina began to put the stools up. Sam walked out of his bar and looked around.
“Ill lock up.” He said. They nodded. Ryan glanced over at Sam, who seemed stressed about something. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand and reading it, it seemed to be filled with typing.
“What’s wrong Sam?” He asked.
Sam looked up and then back down.
“Taxes.” He said. Ryan nodded. Selina put her coat on and started for the door.
“Well, I’m off, bye everyone.” She announced. Everybody mumbled a goodbye. Selina stopped and looked back.
“What was that? Why don’t I get a farewell? When Norm leaves you all scream his name! What about me?” He asked.
“Oh sorry Selina.” Ryan said. He glanced over at Sam and Carla. “Let’s try that again. One, Two, Three.”
They turned to Selina, with much enthusiasm, yelled; “Bye, Norm!”
“That’s better.” She said and left only to come back 1 min. later.
“My keys are INSIDE my car.” She said walking threw the door. Carla Laughed at her.
“Need a ride home?” Ryan asked.
“Nah, Ill call my mom I guess.” Selina Said.
“You mom’s awake at this time?” Sam asked.
“She’s a writer.” Selina said. “She stays up writing, She only like to write when it’s darker out.”
She hit a few buttons and put the cellphone up to her ear. It rang a few times then she started talking.
“Mum. Hey, My keys are in my car, can you pick me up? No, just my car keys, I have my house ones. Yeah, I have spares. At my house. Yes. I’m at my work. Cheers? You knew that. You can’t pick me up? Uh.. Okay... Bye.” She closed her phone and looked at Ryan.
“Ill drive.” He said and She nodded.
“It odd, she’s been in here before. She randomly refused when she remembered I worked here.” Selina said.
“Yeah, why don’t we ever see your mom? Who is she anyway?” Carla Asked.
“Her name’s Diane.” Selina stated. Sam Heart skipped a beat.
“You mean, like, Diane Chambers?”
-X-
Cliffier!!
I know I’m leaving out Woody and Fraiser and Kelly a lot, but don’t worry, they will come back into the scenes more. R&R. Thankies =3
samanddiane4eva 09-26-2007, 06:46 PM I love it!
Megara 09-29-2007, 06:39 PM Sam starred in almost horror. Carla was speechless, as they waited for Salinas reply.
“What?” She said. Sam moved a bit and looked at her. Ryan faced her.
“Diane Chambers. Is that your mom’s name?” Ryan asked, who knew Sam history with her.
“No,” Selina said and Sam’s felt his breath continue, but his heart seemed to stop. “Her name is Diane Edward. She used to be Diane Malone, but she changed it to her maiden name.”
“Thank God!!” Carla screamed. Salinas eyebrows narrowed.
“Why? Tell me.” She said.
“I though I loved a girl named Diane Chambers. She used to work her. We almost got married, five times?” He said and looked over at Carla to see if the number was right.
“I lost count Sammy.” She said.
“Did you have a child with her?” Selina asked. Sam shook his head.
“If we did, I never knew about it.” He said. Selina slouched on the side of the bar.
“Tell me about her.” She said and Carla walked out of the room and into the pool room to clean up.
“I’d rather not.” Sam said, Selina sighed and looked down at the bar counter. She fixed her eyes on a few letters that where carved into the wood. It was covered by some pretzel dust, so she blew it away. She read it, and looked up at Sam.
“SM & DC?” She asked. Sam looked down.
“Oh...” He said and thought. “I remember when she carved that.
He looked back at in and Ryan jumped in to look at it too.
“She said it, huh, it was romantic.” Sam continued. “I called it stupid...”
Carla walked back in with a tray of glasses.
“Okay, out guys. Ill close up.” Sam said spontaneously.
“But Sam, it’s my job to clean tonight.” Carla said.
“It’s my bar Carla!” He snapped. Everybody froze.
“Just, out.” He said and left into his office.
Are a few seconds of silence, Ryan drove Selina home. Carla left as well. Sam left two hours later.

Small update, but my friend wanted me to end the little cliffy. I’m working on another update, but Cheers is on TV right now. So I have to go, now. Fast.
samanddiane4eva 09-29-2007, 07:31 PM This is getting even better.
Megara 09-30-2007, 11:30 AM Selina knocked on the large, older styled door. Today was saturday. She had half the day off. Last night was kind of awkward, but it had gotten her thinking.
Her mother answered the door.
“Selina!” She said and gave her a hug. “I’m sorry about last night. I just, don’t like that place. For uhh, sentimental reasons.”
Selina nodded.
“I have to talk to you mom.” Selina said, she followed her mother inside.
Her mother’s home was very classy. Expensive painting hung on every second wall. The furniture was placed over by the fire place.
Her mother was just as classy as her home. Her hair was blond and permanently done to be straight. She was thin and quite good looking. She had just about every degree from collage and was very intelligent. She didn’t wear glasses, she hated them. She only needed them recently, so she wore contacts, a very low prescription mind you.
“What do you need to talk about?” She asked, coming out of the kitchen and handing a cup of tea to Selina.
“Cheers.” She said. “And my dad.”
Her mother froze.
“You know I don’t like talking about that.” She said.
“You know I have a right to know. You may also like to know that I acquired a valuable piece of information last night.” Selina said. They sat down on opposite couches, facing each other.
“Okay.” Her mother said. “Okay.”
“Last night, after you refused picking me up, Ryan offered to drive me home. I talk about you all the time at Cheers, but never had I stated your name. They asked, so I said Diane.” Selina started, she paused a bit, then kept going. “It turns out, they knew, and Sam fell in love with a woman named Diane Chambers.”
Pause.
“You know my name is Diane Edward.” Diane said.
“I also know that your mother’s last name was Chambers.” Selina Said, “Before she remarried. And even then, it turned out to be something else, which you never took.”
Diane stood up, then sat back down. The science was not comforting, even in this house.
“You can’t tell Sam.” She said finally.
“I knew it!!” Selina said. “I bit my tongue last night, but on the drive home it became certain to me! Your Diane Chambers!”
“I know I am.” Diane Said. “I never officially changed my name, I just made sure that phone book knew.”
“Why did you lie?” Selina asked. Diane rose.
“Because, it hurt too much.” She said. “I bought this house with him. I knew him forever. He made my life Hell. But, in a way...”
She stopped. Selina stood up and took the tea from her hands.
“Mom,” She said and hugged her. Then pulled away. “Is Sam Malone my father?”
Diane Started crying now. It was obvious to Selina.
“He is, isn’t he?”
“I got pregnant the night before our supposed to be wedding, I left the next day. Only to find out three months later. I came back, when you where Six, we lived here. I tried to tell him, but it was too hard.” She turned to Selina. “Nothing is between us anymore. I don’t love him, nor dose he me.”
Selina looked at her mom, cry a bit herself.
“Then why are you crying?”
Back at Cheers.
“I’m sorry I snapped at you guys last night. I lost mt head.” Sam said and Ryan nodded, along with Carla.
“It’s okay Sam.” Ryan said. “You did love the girl.”
“Are you talking about Miss Chambers?” Woody asked. Sam nodded.
“It’s just, and don’t tell Selina this, but when I look at her, I see ‘Diane Chambers’ in bold letters.” Sam said. Norm slam his hand.
“You do!” He said. “Even though she had brown hair, she looks, and talks a lot like her.”
“Yeah, I eh, uhh, notice that too.” Cliff said. “It’s a little known fact that a Eh, dopleganger can...”
“Shut it Cliff.” Carla said. “See, this is why I don’t like Selina all that much. She too much like the Stick.”
“That’s not nice.” Kelly said.
“I agree.” Fraiser said, who was sitting at the end of the bar. “She is a very smart girl. I have noticed that when she talks, her hand gestures resemble that of Diane’s.”
“Yeah I saw that, she talks with her hands.” Ryan said.
“She does?!” Woody asked. Sam walked over laughing a bit.
“It means that when she talks, she moves her hands a lot.” Sam explained.
“It’s just a figure of speech Woody.” Fraiser said.
“Oh, Scare me Ryan.” He said to Ryan.
“I’m sorry Woody.” He laughed.
“Guys...” Carla said. “I feel a disturbance in the force...”
At that moment Norm saw Salinas car pull up.
“Quiet everybody, Salina’s here now.” Norm announced.
“You have to tell me who you do that.” Ryan said jokingly.
“I thought she wasn't supposed to come in for another hour or two.” Woody asked. Sam nodded.
“She’s with somebody.” Norm said.
“Who?” Carla said.
“I can only see their legs. It’s a girl.” He said.
They watched as Selina’d high-heals walked down the stairs, followed by somebody else’s, who stop halfway and then ran back up. Selina walked back up too, only to come back down pulling the person behind her.
Selina entered the bar alone though. Everybody was looking at her.
“Who’s your friend?” Ryan asked.
“Somebody you all should meet. My mom. We had a talk earlyer, I found a few things out.” She looked back at the door, only too see her mom walking back up the stairs. She poked her head out of the door.
“Mom!!” She cried. Everybody watched as her mother’s legs walk back down. Selina opened the door all the way.
After a pause, Diane Walked in. Everybody froze.
“This is my mom.” Selina said. Carla’s mouth dropped.
Norm looked over at Sam. Then back at Diane.
“Oh, I knew I shouldn’t have come here with you!” Diane said and turned to leave.
Selina grabbed her arm.
“Mom.” She said.
Diane turned to face the bar.
“Hello everybody.” She said.
“Miss Chambers!” Woody cried. He jumped over the bar and ran to her.
He picked her up and hugged her. She laughed a bit.
“Iv missed you so much!” He said. Everybody in the bar didn’t say a word. Sam moved a bit, but couldn’t take his eyes off her. She was wearing a lovely skirt, just like he remembered. She smiled, the same way. He started, just like he used too.
“I missed you too Woody.” She said Woody took her hand and brought her to Kelly. “This is Kelly. My wife.” His smile grew.
“Hello Kelly.” She said and shook her hand.
“Hello Miss Chambers.” She said. Selina followed her mom and stood beside her.
“Nobody else can say ‘Hello’ to my mom. What’s wrong?” Selina said. Her face lit up a bit.
“You knew.” Sam said. She nodded a bit.
“I figured it out last night.” She said. Then Diane looked over at Sam.
She smiled a bit.
“Well, hi, Dieana.” Sam said. “I mean, Diman.”
“Hello Sam.” She laughed a bit.
Cliff walked over to Diane, not knowing what to say he hugged her.
Norm walked over and did the same. Sam couldn’t yet. Carla walked over. Diane flinched a bit.
“Hello Carla.” She said, backing up.
“Hello, Stick.” She said. There was a pause. They shook hands. Carla gagged a bit.
Fraiser walked over to her. He looked at her. Then paused.
“Hello, Di... ane!” He said, and hugged her as he began to cry a bit.
“Look at you!” He said, pulling away. “You haven't changed that much.”
“I guess that’s a complement.” She laughed.
At that moment Lilith walked into the bar with Fredrick. (Who by the way is now 17.)
“I think you should go to Harvard.” Lilith said. Fredrick nodded.
“Hey dad!” He said Fraiser just looked over at him.
He smiled and nodded. Meanwhile, Lilith was still holding the door open and staring at Diane.
“Miss Diane Chambers?” She asked.
“Lilith Stern.” She said.
Lilith walked down slowly. She looked around at everybody.
“You’re, Selina’s Mother, aren’t you?” She said. Diane nodded.
“Yes I am.” She said. Lilith’s mussels relaxed.
“That’s explains a lot.” She said. Everybody mumbled a ‘Yeah.’
“Wait...” Carla said. She was thinking about something. “If you’re her mom... and she’s 20 years old... then that means...”
Carla paused.
“OH ... MY ... GOSH!” She said. Diane looked down at the ground. Everybody else started thinking.
Lilith gasped. Then Fraiser covered his mouth. Then Ryan.
“That means....” Ryan said, then stopped. “Oh...”
Carla froze completely.
“Wow...” Norm said, followed by Cliff.
One by one everybody figured it out, leaving only Sam, Woody and Fredrick Clueless.
“What are you talking about?” Woody asked. Kelly Whispered something in his ear.
“Really!” He said. “No way.”
Meanwhile, Lilith told Fredrick.
Everybody looked over at Diane, who; after a pause, nodded.
There was a mumble of words. Then everything went quiet.
“What are you guys talking about?” Sam said.
“Sam, I need to talk to you. Your office, now.” Diane said and worked her way around the crowd, who broke up and all sat back down.
“Did you know?” Ryan asked Selina.
“I found out today, I’m kind of still in shock. But I can see it, you know.” Selina reapplied.
“Are you mad.” Ryan asked.
“In a way, but, my mom wrote this book; Chicken Wings aren’t Made to Fly. It was about the man she fell in love with, it never said his name. I read it before, not really understanding it. Now that I know it’s Sam... Well, I don’t think I could be really upset with her.”
Back in Sam’s office, Sam was sitting at his office.
Diane was walking back and forth.
“Sam, I don’t know how to tell you this, so Ill just say it.” DIane said, She stopped in front of his desk and looked right at him.
“Selina Addison Malone is your daughter.” She said, her voice breaking that then end.
Sam just sat there. Taking it all in.
“Before you say anything Sam, you must know this; I tried to tell you, but I couldn’t. It’s been so hard on me. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. You told me, when Selina was Six, We where not meant to be. So I left.” Diane said.
“She’s my daughter!” Sam yelled, this was more of the after shock reaction. “I have a right to know!”
“Sam Malone!” She screamed. “You think it hasn’t been hard for me!? I loved you, even if you didn’t love me! Every timed I looked at her I saw YOU!”
“I loved you! Back then.” He yelled.
“Yes! Back then! I didn’t want you to think you loved me because of Selina!” She yelled back at him. Sam sighed and sat at his chair.
“I’m sorry Sam. Truly I am.” She said, he nodded.
“Selina Addison Malone. S.A.M.” He said and looked up at her.
“I loved you.” She said.
“Yeah.” He said and thought a moment. What happened to the house we bought?”
“I live in it.” She said. He chuckled a bit.
“It must have been tough on you.” He said.
“Yeah, but she’s worth it.”
There was a pause.
“You look great, you know.” He told her.
“Your not so bad yourself.” She said.
There was another pause.
“Sam, I don’t want you to feel bad.” She said.
He stood up and walked over to her and put both hands on her shoulder.
“I want to feel bad. I want to feel bad for the time I wasn’t there when she was born. For the time that I missed her first word, her first step. For the time that you stayed up all night alone. I want to feel bad for you, for her.” He said to Diane. Her mind was lost in thought. This would make a good poem, with some adjustments. She though, before he kept going. “I want to feel bad today. Tomorrow Ill feel better. Then the next day, maybe, she’ll call me dad. I want to feel bad today. Ill be happy to have a beautiful daughter tomorrow.”
There was a pause again.
“That was beautiful, Sam.” Diane Said. Sam smiled a bit and let go of her shoulders.
“Well, Mayday.” She said, he looked up at her and smiled a bit. (P.S. There is a reason why she called him Mayday.) “I don’t know when, or if, Ill be back. So, This is good-bye.”
“Don’t leave for fourteen years again.” He said. She sighed.
“Had it been that long?” She paused again, before turning to the door.
“Diane.” He said, she looked back. “Could you tell everybody the bar is closed for the rest of the day, I want to be alone.”
Diane wanted to run over and tell his she was sorry, and not to feel bad, but she didn’t. Instead, she just nodded. She turned to leave again. Sam’s reflex kicked in and he stood up and took a large step towards her, saying her name as he did so; once again.
“Diane...” He started. “Welcome back.”
She smiled.
“Thanks Sam.” She said and hugged him.
And so it begins.
