This is another story about them before New Year's Eve. I hope you can feel happy before New Year. And remember, this is not romantic story, that is just one of the older of the two met again.

December 31st, 2012

Dora-the-Kid, under the encouragement of the friends, decided to go back to the old year girl apology.

In the house...

"Gretchen, what did you do in your friend's house? - Gretchen's mom asks her.

"I was dancing with my friends in Phineas and Ferb's house." - She answers.

"Well, that's good." - Her mother answers back.

And then, Gretchen moves to her room. But then, she faces a stranger who standed in the window few minutes ago...

It was Dora-the-Kid... in the dark... But she can't recognize him.

Gretchen: Who are you?

Dora-the-Kid: You couldn't remember who am I, do you?

Gretchen: Yes, but what are you doing in my house?

Dora-the-Kid: A story in the Embassy... and about Ambassador Akjon Timuraev... can you remember that?

Gretchen: Wait, you're...

Dora-the-Kid: Take a look.

The he puts to her a picture, but she asks again:

"Why did you give me that?"

"10 years ago, a girl has given to me a picture before I went to Afghanistan and Iraq to faced the Al-Qaeda and Taliban. Now I'm back, may be."

And she takes the picture, and she... recognizes him, although it is not clear.

"You're..."

But Kid doesn't come off looking back.

"So, you have recognized me."

And then, Gretchen asks him: "I haven't met you for 10 years. So now what were you doing here?"

Dora-the-Kid answers: "I have waited you so long, but the time in Bosnia, Chechnya, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iraq have destroyed my spirit. Now, I really wanted to excuse you."

Gretchen then talks: "So you came here because that reason?!"

He answers again: "Right."

And then...

Gretchen: So, where's your friends?"

Dora-the-Kid: They are here. But only I can recognize where are they.

Gretchen: I understand. But may be...

Dora-the-Kid: Don't say that anymore. Now, after 10 years, did you have any change?

Gretchen: You was said to me be strong, but I feel I can't do it.

Dora-the-Kid: Why?

Gretchen: My only talent is the smart, unlike you.

Dora-the-Kid: My friends has said to me: "Do not give up halfway." Did you know that mean?

Gretchen: I know.

Dora-the-Kid: So you did betray me.

Gretchen: But why? I still wanted to become a part of Danville.

Dora-the-Kid: So you intend to prove it? Speak to me?

Gretchen: Well, I was part of a group of the Fireside Scouts, but I still very frail, weeping. I don't have much talent as the other children that I have to rely on my wit. In addition, I am also very afraid of the fitness test, which are the weak point of mine. I feel... alone...

Dora-the-Kid: Why? Why did you say that?

Gretchen: Because you have joined the war in Bosnia, Tajikistan, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq, unlike me, still in Danville.

Dora-the-Kid: So all of my effort are futile? You must also have strong point something anyway!

Gretchen: Strong point?

Dora-the-Kid: Yes! Where's your strong point?

Gretchen: Well, my strong point is my smart, always get the sympathy of friends, and I have also always been helped by Isabella.

Dora-the-Kid: That's Gretchen I know. Now, did you have any boyfriend?

Gretchen (shy): Well, I had a neighbor boy I always love.

Dora-the-Kid: Who?

Gretchen: He is... Ferb Fletcher.

Dora-the-Kid: His body? Did he's talent?

Gretchen: He's normal, is the brother of Phineas. He's smart and brains, has worked the idea as impossible. But I don't think he likes me.

Dora-the-Kid: Just try it. I also have girlfriend, Gretchen. The soul is important, not the outward form.

Gretchen: Well... Thanks. But if he laugh at me...

Dora-the-Kid: Don't think that. If you think that, you will never have his heart. And by a way, I'm sorry about the story in the Embassy of Uzbekistan.

Gretchen: I'll forgive you, but can you help me?

Dora-the-Kid: I'm sorry, but 10 minutes later is New Year's Eve. Be strong, Gretchen. Don't betray me, and I'm still looking forward at you.

Then, she tears up, and she runs to Kid's place, hugging him when he moves out from the dark.

Gretchen (is crying): Thanks... my... brother...

Dora-the-Kid: Always. But Doraemon is calling me, so I can't stay anylonger. Be strong, and be careful!

Gretchen: Where are you going?

Dora-the-Kid: If you have any problem, you just called me by that whistle. Here.

He gives to Gretchen a whistle, and then...

Gretchen: Thank... you. And you... are...

Dora-the-Kid: I'm a part of The Doraemons, and also... is your brother, although we aren't family.

Gretchen: You are Dora-the-Kid!

Dora-the-Kid: Happy New Year, Gretchen!

And Kid jumps down from the window. Gretchen runs to see him, but he has gone. And then...

"Gretchen, where are you? It's New Year's Eve!" - Isabella Garcia-Shapiro calls her.

"I'm coming!" - she answers. But she still believes someday, The Doraemons, especially Dora-the-Kid, will return back.

In the sky...

Doraemon: Have you talked to her yet?

Dora-the-Kid: Yeah, and I... still believe she will not betrayed me.

And... it's New Year's Eve in the USA. Nobita talks:

"It's New Year's Eve! Happy New Year, pals!"

And then, The Doraemons has gone. But they still believe the girls will remember who they are, and it will begin, started by Gretchen.

In the city...

Isabella Garcia-Shapiro: What are you doing, Gretchen? Ferb are waiting you!

Gretchen: REALLY?

Isabella Garcia-Shapiro: Of course.

And Gretchen whisper says: "Thank you... Dora-the-Kid." And she goes to Ferb, and dances with him. She still believes Dora-the-Kid and his team will return back to help her... and the Fireside Girls, started from 2013.

Happy New Year!
