Dopo la scuola vanno a vivere insieme, ma a un certo punto qualcosa cambia e il loro magico legame si spezza. Dopo 6 anni Cat scrive una e-mail ai suoi amici, chiedendo loro di incontrarli alla riunione degli ex allievi e sottolineando che si tratta di una cosa molto importante; ma quella sera lei non verrà.
