Closing the front door and locking it, Jowee turned around and said "Alright, off we go!"
He always put on a brave face when the two went out for whatever reason, but secretly he worried alot about going out in public with Heather. He wasn't embarrased about her or anything, it was just...people always stared at Heather.
Heather acted like she didn't care, but deep down she felt sad that she wasn't like everyone else. All because of Wilfre...
"Ok, Heather, I'm just gonna go in the shop. Stay there, ok?" said Jowee as he walked into Isaac's.
"Yes, Jowee," she replied. As soon as Jowee was in the shop, Cindy bounded up to Heather, looking sad.
"My mommy say I can't pway wth you anymore 'cause you're like this bad wapo she knows about," said Cindy.
"Oh... but we're still friends, right?"
"Always, Hea-" she was inturrupted as her mother walked up to the two Rapo's, taking Cindy hand and saying,"Get away from my daughter, you little shadow freak!"
Tears started falling down Heather's cheeks. At that point Jowee came out of the shop. He had heard the mother's remark.
"How dare you speak to Heather that way! I'll show you who's a freak!" yelled Jowee, running up to Cindy's mom.
Mari happened to by passing by, and saw the argument starting to unfold. Quickly, she ran between the two Rapo's and yelled, "STOP IT!"
Surprised, they both stepped back. Without saying anything, the mother took hold of Cindy's hand and started walking away, not saying anything.
"Thanks, Mari. That could have been nasty," said Jowee, sighing with relief.
"Oh come on, Jowee. As if you'd ever hit a women?" she replied, smiling.
"Yeah, I suppose. Hey Heather, are you- Heather?" he said axciously. The Rapo was on her knee's, crying.
"Hey, hey. It's ok. It's ok," said Jowee, cuddling her and rocking her back and forth.
Eventually, she managed to stop crying, and said "I hate Wilfre."
Shocked, Jowee said, "Hey, lets go to our secret beach for the picnic, yeah?" he was trying to comfort her.
Sniffling, she said "Ok. Is Mari coming too?"
"Are you coming, Mari?" he said, looking at her, begging with his eyes.
"Of course I'm coming! It sounds like fun," she said, smiling back.
"Good. 'Cause there's something I want to tell you both." said Heather.
"Ok, lets get going!" said Jowee, picking her up and giving her a piggyback.
