Chapter 9
CHEZ ROUGE
It is now the next night, part 2 of the reunion. All of the returnees from the Salem High Class of 2002 are sitting at tables, eating dinner. Belle, Shawn-D, Philip, Melanie, Chloe, Brady, Mimi, and Rex are sitting at a table together.
BELLE: You know, being at Salem High again has brought back some really great memories.
SHAWN-D: Yeah, it has. Remember at the Last Blast Dance when we had our first dance together?

SHAWN-D: That was an awesome night!
CHLOE: Not for everybody.
REX: Why not?
MIMI: Mostly because of Jan Spears. True, I was kind of involved in it, too.
REX: Involved in what?
MIMI: I'll explain later.
CHLOE: Well, Mimi, at least you apologized and tried to make things right with me.
Chloe looked over her shoulder. Just a few tables away, Jan was eating. The two stared at each other for a moment. Chloe turned back to everyone else at the table.
PHILIP: You know one of the things I remember that was great about Salem High? The teachers.
CHLOE: Yeah, like Mr. Woods!
BELLE: Oh my gosh! He was so cool!
SHAWN-D: Yeah. Remember how he stopped the Last Blast Dance and told off everybody who was making fun of you, Chloe?
CHLOE: I was too embarrassed and I ran out before I heard anything. What exactly did he do?
MIMI: Well, he got up on the stage, killed the music, and said...

(Second video from 1:52 to 3:08):
CHLOE: I loved him! He was so nice!
PHILIP: He was to everybody. Well, almost everybody.
MIMI: I wonder whatever happened to him?
PHILIP: Last I heard, he retired.
BELLE: No way! There is no way that Mr. Woods is old enough to retire!
PHILIP: Hey, I'm just going by what I've heard.
CHLOE: Well, maybe he can tell us.
Everyone looked over at Chloe.
CHLOE: If we see him at any point in our lives, that is.
