Chapter 24
"I really don't want her to leave," Surprise told Grizzle on the phone.
"Why?" Grizzle asked. "She didn't like you."
"Nah, Share's group and Harms and I really were close… We only pretended to not like them, well we don't like them, but we're all really close… When Share leaves… It'll be so different…"
"Really…" Grizzle said. That's what he liked about Surprise, she was always surprising him with things he didn't know… "I guess I don't want her to leave either… the class room will be so different without Square teasing Grumpy and Share…"
"Yeah… I wonder how Grumpy's taking this…" Surprise sighed.
"Geez… must be hardest on him…" Grizzle said.
"Yeah, we don't even have nay proof Grumpy really likes Share… What if we're wrong…" Surprise thought on it for a moment.
"Surprise… I have proof… I can't tell you anything more, but trust me, Grumpy really likes Share…" Grizzle said.
"What?" Surprise asked.
"I've got to go. Love you!" Grizzle hung up his phone.
"Share, we can't have you go!" Wish said to share as she opened the door.
"Hi, Wish… I really don't' want to go either, but I don't' feel like talking… and I've been excused from these last few weeks of school, I have to help a lot with the move… Bye…" Share shut the door.
"I wonder what's wrong with Share…" Wish thought aloud.
"Us too, she told us to go too," Love-A-Lot said as she and Cheer walked up to Wish.
"Oh… Hi, something bad must of have happened…" Wish sighed.
"Yeah, I'm worried… Share isn't telling us something, and it's bad," Cheer sighed.
Grumpy stood at Share's front door and knocked quietly.
Share hurried to the door and opened it.
"Hey…" Grumpy said. Share's heart stopped and she slammed the door in Grumpy's face then ran up the stairs.
"Bye, then…" Grumpy sighed he turned back and walked home.
-------------------
"Share is leaving in just two weeks!" Cheer exclaimed a month later.
"And none of us have been able to talk to her…" Love-A-Lot sighed.
"I got into a little conversation with her last night… but then she suddenly hung up on me…" Wish sighed.
"I wonder how class is without her…" Cheer sighed.
"It's sad," Harmony said as she and Surprise walked up to the table.
"Hey… What are you two doing here?" Love-A-Lot asked.
"Well… we missed Share so much, that we thought it would be nice to talk with some other people, I mean girls, who miss her too," Surprise said.
"Oh, well, it'll be great to talk with some people, well girls, from her class,"" Love-A-Lot said.
"Well, we all miss her tons," Surprise sighed. "Grizzle even says he misses her…"
"Square and Oopsy are always talking about 'making plans' to keep her here including kidnapping her," Harmony laughed a sad laugh.
"Oh, Square told me that one!" Love-A-Lot laughed.
"I wonder what Share would say if she knew Good Luck and Oopsy were planning to kidnap her…" Wish laughed.
"I wish we could talk to her, but she's been so withdrawn…" Love-a-Lot said sadly.
"Yeah, we went to her house, and her mom answered the door… She said Share wasn't there…" Harmony said.
"I just want tot ell her how much we'll miss her…" Surprise said.
"Grumpy!" Funshine called to his friend.
"Yeah?" Grumpy looked up from his lunch.
"You seem so down lately," Funshine said.
"So?" Grumpy asked.
"So, I want to cheer you up! You want to play soccer after school, with Champ and Tenderheart of course!" Funshine offered.
"No," Grumpy said.
"Awww! Come on! It'll be fun!" Funshine said.
"Hmph… Whatever, okay," Grumpy said.
"Yeah!" Funshine exclaimed happily. And then the bell rang.
"We won! Ten to seven!" Champ exclaimed happily. "Losers!"
"You don't have to be such a sore winner…" Funshine said.
"We'll beat you next time!" Tenderheart exclaimed.
"I wont' be playing next time…" Grumpy grumbled.
"Aw, but your so good at this game!" Champ complained. "You should join the team!"
"No," Grumpy said.
"C'mon! It's be fun!" Funshine said.
"No, final answer. Now I've got to go, bye," Grumpy hurried off of the playing field and left.
"Shoot! Dinner! I'll see ya later guys!" Funshine called to his friends. He soon caught up with Grumpy.
"Why won't you join the team?" He asked.
"Because, I don't like 'team' sports," Grumpy shrugged.
"Oh… Well you should join anyways, its lots of fun," Funshine said.
"No," Grumpy said.
Funshine sighed, knowing he couldn't get Grumpy to join the team.
