TikToker Maggie Pettyjohn (@maggie_pettyjohn) went viral for a video about a former classmate that she hadn't seen since the 2nd grade....

And then TikTok TikToked.

Pettyjohn took to the platform to share with viewers that she once had a classmate named Forever Young, and anytime she heard the classic song of the same name by Alphaville, she thought of her old pal.

She explained in an 11-second video set to the Alphaville hit that has now been seen more than 5 million times:

"Every time I hear this song and remember I was in a 2nd grade class with a girl named Forever Young."

The TikToker showed a yearbook photo and a class photo of Forever Young.

She added in the caption:

"She literally left after 2nd grade and never heard from her again."

And then the craziest thing happened.

Forever Young herself showed up in the comments.

The very next day after the TikTok was posted, Young wrote:

"Oh my god this is me"

Pettyjohn then made a reply video for everyone invested in the story.

She confirmed that the commenter was, in fact, the same Forever Young she went to school with.

"She ended up reaching out to me, and she told me that she moved to Maine so there's the answer to that question."

Pettyjohn continued:

"We ended up finding her through TikTok, so that was really great."
"We had a really nice conversation, she was super sweet, is so nice still."
"She actually ended up saying that she did remember me, and she remembers that class. It was really great."
"So, thank you, TikTok for finding Forever Young."

Mechanical Bird At Center Of Kelly Clarkson Controversy Now Costs $15 Million As Brooklyn Shop Owner Claims Clarkson Put Employees 'In Danger'

Her name is Molly, and before anyone starts questioning the price of birdseed, she's a handcrafted singing and dancing automaton by Seattle artist Bliss Kolb. One of just two, no less. Still, that's quite the leap from the $15,000 price tag that sparked this entire spectacle.
