Jean and Fantine didn't talk to Javert for a few days after that. Those were the worst days ever. Javert never realized just how much he needed his friends until then.
Javert was eating lunch alone on the hill. He glared at his sauerkraut sandwich and sighed.
"Want some of mine?" Jean asked, sitting next to him. He had a peanut butter sandwich and it smelled really good. "We forgive you, you know. And Fantine says that you're still invited to her birthday party."
Javert smiled, "Where is Fantine?"
"Her parents took her and her sister to the city for the day," Jean said. "She'll be back tomorrow. I really want to go to the city; I imagine it'll be beautiful!"
"There's too much pollution, you can barely see the sky," Javert said. "It's also dangerous, there's a lot of crime."
"We can change the world together!" Jean said excitedly. "Maybe one day we'll save up enough money to go the city! Just the three of us!"
Javert grinned, "Sounds like a good plan!"
When Fantine came back the next day, she was filled with stories about the city. Javert was accepted back in their trio immediately, since she was too excited to be mad at him.
"We're saving up money to go," Jean said, proudly.
"I'll save money too!" Fantine said. "I'm sure, with the three of us saving money; we'll all get to go soon."
"So, tell us more about the city!" Jean said, grinning.
Javert smiled and listened as well.
Fantine took a deep breath, "Well, there were horse and buggies and we started riding one and Favourite got scared, but I wasn't scared! And then there were really tall people there and we bought hot dogs from a street vendor and went to a really fancy restaurant for dinner. Then, we saw a play…"
