Here's the next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!
Over at the skate park, Eugene and Nadine were overlooking a big ramp as Nadine turned to him. "You sure you want to do this? Considering... you know..."
"Don't worry, Nadine, I made every precaution to make sure I don't lose myself!" Eugene smiled as he pointed to the knee pads. "I'm wearing knee pads this time."
"Well... if you're sure..." Nadine said as she went on the skateboard.
"Let me see how good you are, first." Eugene said as he sat down.
"Okay..." Nadine smiled as she went on her skateboard. "Here goes nothing!"
Nadine then went down the skate ramp as she did some tricks via Tony Hawk style. Eugene just looked amazed as Nadine did a few flips around the ramp. As soon as Nadine was done with the ramp, Eugene applauded as he said, "That was terrific, cool! I didn't know you were a natural at skateboarding!"
"I guess it comes have having good muscles on your legs... give it a push effect, you know?" Nadine smiled. "Let me see what you have..."
Eugene nodded as he went on the skateboard and started going down... only for him to fall off the skateboard on the up ramp, fell right down, and the skateboard hit the back of his head.
Nadine winced as she said, "Maybe you better get on my skateboard with me for a while..."
"I think that may be a good... idea..." Eugene groaned as he joined Nadine on the skateboard.
"Okay, the best thing to do is..." Nadine said as she pushed him and Eugene on the skateboard... of course, a crack was heard. "Did I just hear one of the wheels-"
"What can I possibly do for Nadine?" Rhonda groaned. "I've never had this problem in my life!"
Rhonda then walked past the skate park as she saw Nadine and Eugene riding around on a skateboard, both of them screaming. "Man, Eugene is doing a great job with cheering Nadine up..."
Rhonda sighed as she walked off. "I don't know how to top that... I'm going to need plenty and plenty of-"
"HELP!" Nadine yelled as she and Eugene crashed the broken skateboard right on the wall as Eugene and Nadine walked around, dizzily.
It took a couple of tries, but Nadine managed to shake Eugene off as she sighed in relief. "Whew... man, am I glad to get away from Mr. Accident Prone... hopefully, the day will get better..."
"Nadine, hey!" Nadine heard Lila call. She turned to see Lila and Sheena waving to her.
"Lila, Sheena, what a surprise to see you two here. What's going on?" Nadine asked out of pure curiosity.
"Well, we heard that you needed some cheering up..." Sheena smiled.
"Is this going to be a thing?" Nadine muttered under her breath, which Lila and Sheena didn't catch.
"...so we thought maybe you'd like to spend an hour or so with us." Lila smiled.
Nadine sighed as she stretched. "Well, okay, I'm game. What do you guys have in mind?"
"What are we doing all the way out near the horserace tracks?" Nadine asked as she came out of the bus with Lila and Sheena in front of a stadium where the horse races usually are.
"Normally, riding horses usually cheers me up when I'm at the country." Lila explained. "Unfortunately, the only good place for children to ride horses is near the track. Fortunately, they're not race horses, BUT all the same, I hope it cheers you up."
"Well... I haven't ridden a horse in quite a while..." Nadine smiled.
"Wonderful!" Sheena smiled. "It won't be too hard... come on, let's get to the stalls!"
"Yeah!" Lila cheered as she and Sheena dragged Nadine over to the horse tracks.
Lila smiled as she was riding atop a nice, white horse as she chuckled. "Oh, this is so relaxing... and so fun."
"You said it." Sheena smiled as she was riding a pretty brown horse as it was trotting along. "How are you enjoying it, Nadine?"
Lila and Sheena blinked as they realized Nadine wasn't with them.
"Hey girls."
Lila and Sheena turned to see Nadine wearing a cowboy hat and riding an angry black horse as it snorted. The two horses Lila and Sheena were riding looked scared for their lives as the two girls gulped.
"Let's ride this..." Nadine said in seriousness as she kicked her horse, ready to go.
"Oh no..." Lila and Sheena said in worry.
"Let me see..." Rhonda said, passing by the horse tracks as she was looking on her list. "Swimming? No... Tanning? No... OH! Cowgirl rustling! I don't think we've done that together!"
"YEE-HAW!" Nadine yelled.
Rhonda turned to see Nadine riding a black horse as Lila and Sheena's horses were being chased around, Lila and Sheena still on them.
Rhonda groaned as she walked around. "Of course... of course, I just can't have nice things, can I? How am I supposed to cheer Nadine up when my friends are thinking up the good ideas!"
"Nadine, don't you think riding that thing is scaring OUR horses?" Lila called in worry as she was clinging on to her horse.
"I don't know, he looked pretty cute to me!" Nadine laughed. "Man, this is a thrill ride!"
"Not for us..." Sheena groaned as she was getting dizzy on her horse.
A little while later, Nadine sighed as she stretched, Lila and Sheena having left a while ago, mostly to recover.
"Well... that was a fun experience..." Nadine smiled as she got off the bus back to her neighborhood. "But I really should be getting over to..."
It was then Nadine noticed Curly hanging upside down holding a sign saying, "NADINE, COME HERE!" Nadine noticed Harold, Stinky and Sid waving over to her.
Nadine sighed as she said, "Oh dear, I wonder what those boys want... if anything, they probably want to cheer me up... well, may as well go along with the gag..."
Nadine then started to walk over to the boys, out of curiosity.
And there's chapter three! How'd you like it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
