The loud click of heeled shoes could be heard as they stomped down the sidewalk. All bystanders ran, hiding, from the anger that walked down the paved walk. She was mad, and nothing would dare to stand in her way. Though her fancy attire did throw some off, even in her sparkling green dress and it was clear that she was about to burst.
The glass door of Greg's Game Hole swung open, the chimes jingling, and the lights and sounds momentarily flooding out to the world. Her eyes scanned the many occupied game consoles for the person she was looking for, until she found him.
"Howard Andrew Weinerman." She growled.
Howard looked up from his game to the ice cold voice. His own hazel eyes moved from the pixel characters to the person speaking in a beautiful green dress with dark hair. She looked stunning, if not for the angry pair of dark blue eyes that glared at him.
And then he was reminded of what he forgot.
"Oh... look Debbie Kang-"
Debbie raised her hand to stop him, "No. I-I can't believe you stood me up again! And, to play some lousy video games!" She started yelling. "All you ever do is play them! You never spare any time for me! It's like you want me to be a, a gamer girl!" She pointed at a girl innocently playing a game off to the side.
Howard frowned, and felt his own anger grow. "What?! You don't even care about my video games! You never respect that I play them!"
"Respect!?" Debbie shouted incredulously. "How could I respect them, when you don't respect me?!" By now, everyone's attention was on them. "You probably would've liked it if I was a gamer girl, too!"
"Yea, that sounds like my type of girl!" Howard yelled back, and froze.
It seemed like the whole arcade silenced at his words.
Debbie gaped at him. She drew in a shaky breath, "W-well, that's not me. I guess we're not for each other then." She could feel her eyes prick with tears, and wanted to get out of there. "Goodbye"
Spinning around, she swiftly left the arcade in a professional manner, leaving sight.
Howard stared at her form until she was gone from view, then shifted his eyes to the ground.
"Howard..." Randy called from behind him, resting a hand on his shoulder.
He pulled his shoulder away, letting Randy's hand drop to his side. "I'm gonna go" Howard said softly. "Not in the mood to play anymore."
"Oh, ok..." Randy agreed, and let Howard leave. He sighed and turned back to his interrupted video game.

Howard opened the front door and lazily walked in, kicking his shoes off somewhere.
"Oh, hey Howie!" Mort called from the sofa, "I'm watching this great fishing show, why don't you-"
"No thanks, Dad." Howard replied, and left the room.
Mort's eyes widened and he stared after him. He called him 'dad'. Something was definitely wrong.
He waited a moment, then got off the couch to Howard's room. He knocked lightly on it. "Howard, son? Are you alright?"
"Yea, sure." Came Howard's muffled reply.
Mort was sure, that he wasn't fine. "Howard, do you mind if I come in?"
He didn't hear a response, so he entered the messy room. Mort spotted a lump under the covers on his bed, and went to sit on the edge of the bed. "Howie, what happened?"
Howard shifted under the covers. "I said some things I didn't mean to." He mumbled out.
Oh, so he got into another argument. "Don't worry about it, son. Just take some time, then apologize. I'm sure he'll understand."
"She."
"What?" Mort asked.
Howard moved and opened the blankets to reveal his mouth. "It was with Debbie."
Mort froze and grimaced. "Okay then, you need to go apologize as soon as possible."
"She won't want to see me. I bet she hates me. I can't go see her." Howard said.
Mort sighed. His son was stubborn. "Alright, Howard. When you're ready then. Just don't stay fighting forever, okay?"
Howard didn't say anything, and Mort figured it was the end of their conversation. He stood up and left the room, leaving Howard in silence.

"I'm worried about them."
"Uh-huh." Randy muttered, busy pressing buttons on the controller.
"Are you listening to me, Randy?"
He jumped at the question, dropping his controller to seem innocent, even though it was a phone call. "Of course, Theresa!"
"Good. I was thinking that maybe we could do something to make them talk? They haven't in forever"
"It's just been two days, Theresa" Randy told her.
"And it's two days too long! Just hear me out, I already planned it all out!"
Randy dropped into his bean bag. "Let's hear it."
Theresa gave a cheer. "This is what I have planned. First, we..."
And she went in details of her plans to Randy, who eventually agreed, to help out his best friend.

"So... why are we in the park again?" Howard asked Randy as he followed the taller boy along the path.
"Uh, because it's a nice day!" Randy stated.
"Yea, a nice day to stay inside." Howard mumbled.
Randy ignored him. "I don't know why you're getting so angry." He looked around and spotted something. "Here, why don't you go get some ice cream for us? My treat." Randy waved a 10 dollar bill in front of him.
Howard eyed the money, before snatching it up. "Alright, fine."
Randy grinned at him and waved at his retreating figure. Then he looked around and quickly jumped into the bushes behind him to hide.
"...Look, why don't you stay here, and I'll get us a treat, okay?" He depicted Theresa's voice instantly.
"Whatever. You know what to get me."
Randy peeked through the bush's branches to see Theresa give a smile and walk away.
Debbie Kang turned and sat down on the bench nearby.
The branches beside him rustled, and soon Theresa was crouched down beside him.
He smiled at her. "Howard's coming now." Randy informed her.
She nodded and joined him to peer through the leaves.
Howard was walking back towards the bench, with two vanilla cones in his hands, both with sprinkles, but one was more loaded with fudge, nuts, and other toppings.
He was licking the loaded cone, and looked up at the bench, obviously looking for Randy, but froze as he saw Debbie sitting there instead. Debbie was looking down at her phone in her lap, so she didn't notice him yet.
Howard stiffly continued forward and sat down on the far end of the same bench.
Debbie noticed a figure beside her, and glanced up, as well, freezing up too. She snapped her neck forward, and stared blankly at the park.
Howard felt something wet on his hand, and saw his ice cream dripping onto his hand. He quickly licked it clean, and looked at the other cone. It too, was drooping in the heat, and he didn't want to waste such a good ice cream.
He looked around for Randy, so he can hand the ice cream to him. He sighed. "Here."
Debbie turned to him, seeing his offered ice cream. "What?" She asked.
"It was for Cunningham, but that shoob just disappeared-" Howard stopped as he felt her fingers brush against his and the cone escape his grip.
Debbie lifted the cone and gave it a lick. "Thanks" She said, covering her smile behind the cone.
An awkward silence followed, until they both opened their mouths.
"Look, Debbie Kang-"
"Howard, I-"
They both stopped and stared at each other.
"Um, you can go first." Debbie said.
Howard nodded. "Okay. Debbie... I'm sorry. I said some things I shouldn't have, and I regret it. I was being horrible to you. I was ignoring you, and I ditched you, many times. It was my fault for it all. I epically wonked up. So I'm sorry."
Debbie stared at him. "Howard, I'm sorry too. I should've just talked to you, instead of yelling at you in public," She blushed at the memory, "And embarrass both of us."
Howard looked up at her hopefully. "So what do you say, Debbie Kang? Friends again?"
She glanced at him, but then turned away. "I don't know..." Howard's smile dropped. But then Debbie scooted over to him, and leaned slightly on him. "Maybe we could go back to what we were before?"
Howard stayed silent, shocked, then let out a laugh, swinging his arm around Debbie's shoulders. "I like the way you think, Debbie Kang!"
Debbie laughed too, and the two continued eating their ice cream in comfortable silence.
BONUS:
Theresa squealed in delight. "Yes! I knew they'd get together again. Ooh, they just like each other too much!"
Randy put his arm around her. "So do I get something for helping you out?"
She nodded. "Yea, the satisfaction of knowing that you made your best friend happy again!" Randy pouted, and Theresa laughed. She leaned towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "And this."
Randy grinned. "Ok, now let's get out of these bushes, I think something's trying to crawl up my back."

The part with Howard and Mort is kinda a bonus, too. I wasn't planning on adding it, but I did. Gotta love Mort and Howie! XD
Also, weird fowlham at the end :/
I wanted to have this up yesterday, but I couldn't finish it :(
