"Kendall, you can't let this morning incident define who you are."

Julie sits on a lounge chair next to a couch where Kendall is sitting. Ever since Kendall was rescued by Kick with his secret comforting words and her best friend Julie who kept loving Kendall for who she is despite how she acted or what happened to her.

"I don't know, Julie." Kendall replied. "Deep down I knew it was a mistake to date Ronaldo and use him to make Kick jealous. I thought at the time that I just needed someone like me: smart, hopeless romantic, and alone, but I didn't count on he was just like me such as being a nuisance to other people, being hateful, and bragging about my smarts, and the need to cheat!"

"Okay, I'm going to stop you right there!" Julie stopped Kendall. "Kendall, you don't cheat. You would never cheat, you're a smart, kind, sweet intelligent girl I ever met."

"Well same with you."

"It seems you and Kick don't get along too well. Do you hate Clarence?"

"Well, at first I thought I did. I mean he and I polar opposites. Clarence does stunts and often gets himself hurt 24/7. I, on the other hand, read books, like watching operas, and like to study."

"Well, that's not the bad part, although I can see why you would think you wouldn't get along. Is it like that all time?"

"Well, no. There are actually times when Kick and I get along. Like when we were dancing against Gunther and Jackie."

"Oh, I remember that very well."

"Then you may know that you were the one who yelled out "Kiss her"!

"I know, I didn't realize you two were still fighting."

"It's okay, now. Besides I don't think Kick would ever go out with me since he thinks of me as a goody-goody, jerky teacher's pet."

"Kends, you're not a teacher's pet. It's okay to love school but you have to realize you have friends by your side. And you can do so by making more by being nice."

"I don't know."

"I don't lie, Kendall. Besides when we were 3, we always due to fun things together: playing the sand, playing dressup, reading books."

"Those were the good times."

"Yeah, that is until we were in age 7, I had to move. I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay with you but my mother was offered some deals far away, and I had to move."

Julie went up to sit with Kendall, who scooted over to give her best friend room to sit.

"Kendall, I didn't know about what happened after I moved until Kick and Gunther told me about you, your time with Kick, and of course that jerkwad Ronaldo."

Julie was apart for 3 years until she moved back to Mellowbrook to be with Kendall to see her lonely. That made her pledge to never leave Kendall again.

"I'm sorry for being away for so long, I'm a terrible best friend." Julie said with tears flowing through her eyes.

Kendall saw her best friend in remorse and hugged her.

"No, it's not your fault. You're the best friend I've got and you still are today."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"And you're still the awesome girl I could ever be best friends with."

Kendall and Julie were like that hugging for a bit of while before letting go.

"Kendall, there is something you should know."

"What about?"

"I know you don't want to think about, but Ronaldo."

"Tell me."

"Well, Kick told me everything that Ronaldo has done to him."

"Like what?"

"Like when Ronaldo trashed Kick and Gunther's go-kart by cheating so he could be winner by the default, and he was like that with every racer who dared stepped in his way."

Kendall was never really informed about this side of Ronaldo. When he introduced himself to her, she was at one time smitten by his charms.

"Or the time when he almost had Gunther's family restaurant, BattleSnax, bankrupt by doing the dash-n-dime scheme. It almost worked until Kick found out Ronaldo had to please or you were through. I've got to tell you when Ronaldo was planning to hurt him and Kick, that honestly made me mad!"

Now, Kendall is really starting to regretting ever dating Ronaldo to begin with, despite the face that she just needed someone to talk since Julie was living afar at the time. Kendall didn't know what to do in the good moral sense. It doesn't really help since Gunther and Julie are very fond romantically of each other, not to mention, Kendall though of Gunther as not very bright and smart. All of that made Kendall sank to the seat.

"Great, now I feel like a complete jerk."

"You didn't know that about Ronaldo?"

"No. And not to mention you like Gunther, while I thought as him as stupid." Kendall said remorsefully with tears in her eyes. "You must hate me now."

"Kendall, you know I could never hate you. Because I know there is still that awesome girl inside of you waiting to get out, you just need a little help... a friend."

"You really mean it?"

"Yes, a friend. Me! Anytime you need help or want something, you can call on me anytime, got that?" Julie asked smiled.

"Thanks a lot, Julie, I feel a lot better."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"What are you going to do now?"

"From now on, being nice to people, doing stuff I really want to do."

"Like soccer and music?" Julie added and Kendall nodded. "Cool!"

Kendall and Julie held each other when there was a knock at the door and Julie got up and went to the door and opened it to peak.

"Can I come in?" A delicate feminine voice spoke out.

"Sure, come on in." Julie answered and signaled for the girl to come in. "Oh, Kendall. I think I know someone who's been through what you've been through." The door reveals Brianna, Kick's younger sister.

"Brianna?"

"Hey, Kendall." Brianna said with a sad smile while concerns Kendall (and Julie).
"What brings you here?"

"I heard what happened to you with Ronaldo, and wanted to accompany you."
"Really?"

"Uh-huh. Like you, I've been dumped by a guy in favor of my most hated enemy, Penelope Patterson."

"What's the guy's name who dumped you."

"Floyd Stanton."

"What a weird name." Julie informed. "Then again so is your last name but it fits."

"Thank you, Jules." Brianna replied.

"So what happened after he dumped you?" Kendall asks.

"I went home early to cry my eyes out, when Kick got home, he walked up to me and I told him everything I went through that day."

"What did Kick do for you, Bree?" Julie asks.

"He comforted and held me while he sang me a song called "You've Got A Friend in Me".

"By Randy Newman?" Kendall asks curiously.

"Yeah, you watch Toy Story, too?" Brianna gleefully asks.

"Yeah, me, Julie and Haley love the whole trilogy." Kendall replied.

"It's true," Julie adds, "an adventure with toys, that's an adventure I love to watch all the time."

"Yeah." Brianna laughs, and Kendall and Julie joined in.

Haley peeked through the door.

"Hey, Kendall, are you feeling better?"

"A lot better actually." Kendall got up and hugged Haley.

"Great, come to the outside after lunch! It's something you have to see!"

"Oh, okay!" Kendall smiled.

"What is it?" Brianna asked.

"Guess we'll have to find out," Julie replied. "Let's go."

Brianna: I can't wait to see it!

Haley: It's going to be epic!

Kendall: Can you tell us?

Haley: No, no, it's a surprise!

Julie: All righty! Let's head to next chapter!
