Kick returns to Mellowbrook a celebrity… Doing the thing that he loves most.. Being a DAREDEVIL.
The Buttowski's decided to throw him a welcome home party and invited the entire town, He was accustomed to the celeb status, screaming fans, hot girls, etc. He just thought that coming home would be all about family and friends not that Kick didn't appreciate it. He had his mind set on a quiet vacation.
He hung out with Gunther during most of the party. Even though they chose different paths after High school, it was as if nothing had ever changed in their friendship. He met all of his classmates from school, and like Gunther, mostly married and settled into family life. Gunther and Jackie were happily married and had 2 kids. Jackie was still the same Wacky Jacky he knew from back in the day and Gunther was still crazy about her. "Hey Kick, so when are you going to finally settle down? Has anyone captured your heart yet?" Jackie asked him. Kick dropped his head and smiled and nodded, "No not yet Jackie, but if did have someone special you'd be the first to know. Second to Gunther off course" Kick replied. Kick realized that he's missing out on a lot. "I need to get out of here and clear my head", Kick told Gunther and like the good old days, Gunther covered for Kick by distracting by his "milk and feather" entertainment which he took a gulp of milk and stripped off his shirt and tickled himself with the feather and squirted the milk on everyone.
Kick managed to sneak out unnoticed and decided to take Ol' Blue out for a ride. He closed his eyes, inhaling the cool air before taking off down the street. There was only one place that Kick could find solace and that was Widow makers Peak. He made his way to the once most Awesome place and he was surprised to find that it was turned into a teenage make-out spot. Kick had a hard time trying to pick his jaw off the floor. "What's going on here?" Kicked asked himself as he made his way to the edge. "This is unbelievable" he mumbled as he turned to walk away. He passed a sign that read Lovers Peak and he almost cried at the horror. "I know I had the same reaction when I first saw it as well" said a very familiar voice that came from behind the sign. Kicked couldn't quite recognize the voice and turned around to find a beautiful women emerging from behind the sign. "Scarlet, Scarlet Rossetti?" Kick called out. "In the flesh" came her reply. "It's good to see you Kick", she said. Kick couldn't help but stare at Scarlet, scanning her, from her black hair, big gorgeous eyes down to her… "Kick, Kick" she called out to him. "Wow, I mean yeah, yeah you too", Kick replied. He greeted her with a hug. "So Scarlet, how have you been? And what are you doing here in Mellowbrook? "I'm doing great actually, well I'm now an Executive producer in a Hollywood movie called The Return of the Rock, Staring Rock Callahan" she said proudly. "Wow, I heard about Rock Callahan's return. That's Awesome" said Kick. "But that still didn't answer my question, what are you doing here in Mellowbrook? Kicked smiled then asked. "Well this was one of my favorite stunt scenes ever and I wanted to include it as a feature in the film and to my surprise Lovers Peak" she gestured towards the sign. "I just can't believe this" said Kick as he knocked the sign over. "Tell me about it" said Scarlet.
The two stood there staring at the bottom of widow maker's peak in silence until Kick took a deep breath and broke the silence. "So ….Are you here alone" Kicked asked as he stared at the sky. "No, actually I'm here with my husband, we've been married for 2 years now and I have a son" she smiled and removed a picture from her wallet to show Kick. "His name is Christopher" she said as she handed it to Kick.
"Cute Kid takes after his mother" replied Kick. "Thanks Kick" as she blushed.
"Time sure flies when you don't pay attention, doesn't it?" said Kicked. "It sure does, speaking of which, I have to get going, Chris is probably wondering were his mama is" she said as she turned to walk away. "Atleast it wasn't a total bust coming to Mellowbrook after all" she said as she walked towards her car. "And why's that?" came Kicks reply. "I got to see you" she smiled and hugged him. "It was good to see you again Kick" She said as she jumped into her car. "You too Scarlet" he replied. "Maybe we'll meet in LA sometime; you know when I produce your next big movie" she said as she drove off.
Kick leaned against the tree, still awestruck by Scarlet thought again to himself about settling down. "I'm not getting any younger but I want to be someone who wants me for me and not my status" he thought out loud. He dropped ol' blue and made his way back home knowing that Gunther couldn't hold the crowd this long. He smiled to himself and made his way home.
