With all that’s been going on in Pine Valley it had been pretty evident that everybody was busy and hardly had enough time to hang out with their friends and just relax. Let their hair down. That being said all of PV decided to come together and do just that. Among having a good time with their family and friends they were celebrating, the 4th of July, the fact that it was the summer time and everybody was in good health as well as a few birthdays. This year PV went all out. No amount was spared when it came to showing the good folks of PV how much they were appreciated and how much they wanted them all to relax. There was food; enough to feed all the military men and women, there were games, moonwalks for the kids, water slides. The whole nine. You wanted it, it was there. (Pine Valley let's celebrate! Now just because I started the thread doesn't mean I have yet arrived. I just started so we can get it underway and because I'm the Chief of this town. Ha! Again this is open to all residents.)

Hearing about the big fourth of July party which was going to be complete with fireworks, food, and various other activities. Marissa who had spent the night at Chandler Mansion so that her, JR, and AJ could all head to the party together. After making her way out of her bed which was in one of the guest rooms. She makes her way down the hall and opens AJ's door as she begins to speak.
"AJ hunny come on and get up remember were all going to the big Fourth of July party today. It sounds like your daddy is already up, just make sure you dress cool since we will be outside all day hun."
Marissa says those words as she makes sure that AJ is up, once she makes sure, she heads back to her room closing the door behind her. After gathering her clothes, Marissa heads into the bathroom for a shower and to get herself ready. She was anxious to share this day with JR, it was one of her favorite times of the year because of the fireworks display and she couldn't wait to see how Pine Valley did there display.
About 2 hours later
Roughly 2 hours later, Marissa who is dressed in a pair of short jean shorts, with a american flag belt around her waist, and a whie tank top with a american flag on the front and a pair of sandals on her feet. Makes her way towards the park along with JR and AJ... The three of them are holding hands as they walk, JR has her left hand with his right one, and AJ is holding her right hand. Marissa looks over towards JR and gives him a smile before she looks over towards AJ as she speaks.
"So are my two favorite men ready for a fun filled day."

Frankie stood there playing frisbee with Kate, wearing her red boots, white shirt with a american flag on it, blue jacket, Kate wearing cute red white and blue clothes, and a american flag painted on her face, Frankie thought about alot of things, but really, didn't get to think much before she noticed a old friend in the horizion, JR Chandler
"Stay right there Kate, sit on the bench and play your DS"
"Okay Mommy"
Frankie said as she walked over to JR, noticing he was with a boy and a woman, Frankie presumed they were his wife and kid, she walked up to her old friend and said
"JR, Long time no see, Im assuming you think you'r seen a ghost?"

(Thanks for starting off the thread Jesse!)
JR was looking forward to spending the holiday with both Marissa and AJ, and also getting to spend some time seeing the rest of the people of Pine Valley. He hadn't really made much effort in socializing lately but knew it would be good for him.
"Oh we're ready to give you an exciting day you won't forget" JR told her before noticing a woman walking up to him. He assumed it was Maggie, though it had been awhile since they had seen each other, but was confused when she mentioned he must think he had seen a ghost.
"I know its been awhile Maggie, but I hardly think you're a ghost. " JR said, but then noticed a slightly different look in her eyes, the way her expressions were just a little different than Maggie's and the way she carried herself. The ghost reference suddenly made more sense. "Wait...you can't be...Frankie?"

Frankie looked at JR, JR assumed it was Maggie at first, Frankie was wierded out by being mistaken for her sister, but when she saw JR's facial expression wierd out, she knew he had figured it out. She then responded to him.
"Yes, I can be, the one and only Ms. Frankie Stone once again at your service, and I am certainly not dead, it's been a while hasen't it JR?" Frankie said with a smirk, looking back at Kate, who was just sitting on the park bench, she looked back to JR and said "Ive been back in town for a few days, I thought I would come to this party when I read about it in the park, I thought it could be good for Kate, for her to meet other kids, and for me to get back into the swing of things in town, Kate's my daughter by the way. she's over there on the bench" Frankie said as she pointed to Kate,
"So is this little boy your son JR?" Frankie asked

"It has been awhile, and I'm glad to see you looking so well" JR said, surprised she was alive but also knowing from experience that anything was possible. JR smiled looking over to the little girl. "She's very cute"
He nodded as Frankie asked about his son. "Yes, this is my son AJ" He said before turning to his son "AJ, this is one of my old friends, Frankie"
"Hi!" AJ said waving at the newcomer, but keeping a grip with the other hand on Marissa's hand.
"And this" JR said turning to Marissa "Is Marissa, the woman I love" He introduced her, hoping that Marissa didnt feel too out of place, and also hoping to convey to Marissa that he was only interested in her, even if he and Frankie did have a bit of a past together.

Amanda had packed up Trevor's things and decided to take him to the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Jake was scheduled to work, and she wasn't sure if he'd be able t join them later or not. She knew he'd try but understood that his job was more important than a little gathering and fully supported him being at the hospital doing what he was best at, saving lives.
As they arrived at the park, Amanda set down Trevor from where he had been perched on her hip. "Don't wander off Trevor" She told her son as she set down the bag she had packed next to one of the benches. It was a gorgeous day out and she was loving the sunshine. She spotted JR and Marissa and gave them a wave but decided to stay where she was for now, letting them talk to the other woman before interrupting them to say hi.

"Well thank you JR, you were always quite the gentleman back in the day" Said Frankie in response to JR saying she looked well, For a supposed dead woman she looked really well she thought, then JR mentioned how Kate's cuteness, "She is a little cutie pie, and the angel of my life, she's getting used to Pine Valley, but im sure she will make the adjustment fine"
"Well hi AJ, your just a little cutie pie aren't you? im sure you'll be a chick magnet someday" Frankie giggled as she said that to the little boy "And nice to meet you Marissa, and don't worry im not going to try and steal JR, im as gay as my sister," Frankie said laughing "So JR, besides having a kid and falling in love with beautiful women, what have you been up to these last ten years? how's your father? how's Chandler?" "

Greenlee had arrived late, and Leo had said that he would be later than her, so when she got there, she decided to wait around for him. She then looked around and noticed JR and Marissa talking to someone who looked familiar. She looked a little closer, and noticed that the woman looked just like Maggie, but she knew that it couldn't be her, because she was still in the hospital. The only person it could be was Frankie. Greenlee was shocked, but decided that she would talk with her later, and when she looked around some more, she noticed Amanda sitting on the bench, and she looked over to see little Trevor. She smiled, and walked over to them. "Hey handsome.." she said as she waved to Trevor, and then looked over to Amanda.
"Hey Amanda. Happy 4th" she said as she leaned down and gave her a hug. "How have you been..?" she asked as she then sat down next to her, and looked to her.

Haley had come alone, for several reasons. One, she was hoping she would see her family here, and two she was hoping to run into someone very special. When she arrived, she noticed JR, and a woman who she didn't know and Frankie all talking together. Haley wasn't about to walk up to them, and blow her secret out of the water, espicially since she wasn't sure about herself in the first place. Haley then noticed Greenlee talking to Amanda, so she decided to just walk around to see if there were others that she could talk to, but when she looked back over to her brother JR, she couldn't help but to go over and talk with them.
She walked over and hugged JR. "Hey JR..." she said as she then looked over to Marissa and extended her hand. "My name is Haley Vaughn..I am JR's big sister.." she said as she then shook her hand and then looked over to Frankie. "And it's nice to see you again Frankie.."

Erica arrived with Jackson & their son, but when she got there, she was a little disappointed. Angie, Jesse, Tad, & Dixie all had yet to arrive. She was hoping to see them there immediately, but instead she decided she could just stay with Jackson & Colton.
Looking behind her, she saw Jackson heading toward Greenlee, & saw Amanda with her. Smiling, she followed behind, with a soft, "Hello," to both of the younger women. She would have offered them a hug, but her stomach was much too big, & she had Colton's stroller in front of her. She then turned, letting them talk, & saw that not many people had shown up yet. She thought Liza was coming, but she wasn't sure, & she also had talked to Bianca who had told her she would be at the party.

After making a quick stop to pick up one of Adrian’s friends whom he went to school with Angie and her crew arrived at the park. “Alright. What are the rules?” Angie asked the boys as she turned to help Jocelyn out her car seat. “Don’t take anything or run off with a stranger,” the young boy, Sean answered happily. “And?” Angie asked, looking down at them. “Don’t run off by ourselves,” Adrian replied. “Alright!” Angie exclaimed and soon they were heading toward the park to have a good time. On site she saw JR, Marissa and AJ and not too far away she spotted Greenlee and Amanda speaking with another young lady. Right along with them was Erica and Jackson.
Smiling, she and her group started making their way over. Jesse walked alongside of her speaking about the turn out and pretty much hoping he wouldn’t have to break out the badge this afternoon. “Everybody might be on their best behavior once they see that the Chief of the po-po has arrived,” she teased, though she too prayed and hoped everything went well.
As they got closer Angie put Jocelyn down on her feet and let her walk the rest of the way. “Hey guys!” Angie greeted when they made it over. She gave all the ones she knew hugs before turning to a seated Erica and hugging her around her neck. “You look like you’re just about to ready to pop. Do I need to keep the hospital on standby?” She teased. “Just kidding honey. How are you doing?” She asked, leaning over to remove Colton from the stroller. “Hey sir! Long time no see, huh?”

After getting a later start, finally Dixie and Tad and the kids got to the park where the party was underway. Looking on even from a distance she spotted familiar faces circulating around, including Amanda, Haley, Greenlee, and another woman she couldn't place just yet. Catching a blond streak across the way she smiled recognizing her grandson from here, and J.R and Marissa standing close by. Thinking back to how dramatic their lunch had become at the Yacht Club Dixie let out a soft sigh. She knew there was things there still unresolved but today wasn't the time or place. She just hoped the tension would be at a minimum. Her smile also went smaller when she noticed Angie, Jesse, Jack and a very pregnant Erica. Lately she'd been so cooped up in her office, wrapped up with her family, her own thoughts, she didn't even remember when she'd last spent time with four people she considered some of her closest friends. Normally she lived for gatherings and gettogethers but lately it felt like having a social life was on the backburner. Maybe today would be what it took to get her out of that habit, at least she hoped. Getting Tara free from her car seat she noticed Tad struggling but finally achieving the same with Nolan. Eventually they approached the area with Kathy sticking close, but Tara kept squirming in her arms. "Oooh alright..just a sec...there.." Letting Tara down she started wandering with Nolan right beside her. "Sheesh, guess they were both raring to go.." Dixie chuckled nervously, watching her twins closely and sticking by her husband and oldest girl. But anxious to get her mind on celebrating and off other things that just weren't worth dwelling on.

Amanda smiled as she saw Greenlee coming over, and returned her hug. "Happy Fourth of July!" Amanda wished her, giving a glance over at Trevor to make sure that he was staying near her. So far she knew all but the one woman talking to JR, but she still didn't want Trevor out of her eyesight.
"I've been doing good, how about you? How are you and Leo doing?" Amanda said, hoping she wasn't prying but also hoping that her friend was happy now with the person she loved. Amanda then looked up a moment later as Erica and Jack came over.
"Erica, hi!" Amanda said, smiling seeing the pregnant belly in front of her, Amanda feeling that hope that this would be her soon again too. "You look beautiful Erica, as always"
Amanda saw Angie and Jesse coming up behind them. "Hey! Good to see you guys!"
