Yeah, not sure anyone on the show is , would be interesting then they could do a Hanukkah special
Brightburn : I'll see what I can do
Yeah I think I have seen that before; may have gotten the idea from that subconsciously.
Yeah, I wanted them to get along for a story
Like a little sweet present opening
anyway, to today's story.
One of the earliest things suggested was a story with Stella and Ronnie Anne meeting, I liked the idea, but was kind of hard pressed on what to write about connecting with Christmas as well. I did think of an idea and this is it, I may in the future do a story with these two. I hope you like. And Merry Christmas Eve Eve.
Story 17: A friend we meet
Prompt/Premise: Ronnie Anne and Stella (it's around Christmas)
It was a couple days before Christmas and Ronnie and her brother, Bobby, were in Royal Woods. The older brother was planning a special night for his girlfriend, Lori, for Christmas. He brought Ronnie Anne with him because, she wanted to see the old town they used to live in. After a couple hours, of being with Bobby's boring to her activities she wanted to cut loose.
"Hey, do I really need to be here?" She asked.
"But I love spending the day with my little sister," Bobby said.
"It would be easier for you to plan for Lori without me," Ronnie Anne replied.
"I guess, your right; meet me at the Loud house before dark, alright?" Bobby said.
"Gotcha," Ronnie Anne said.
The girl walked through the mall looking around. It was packed with busy holiday travelers, looking for a deal. She avoided most of the people and stopped at a skate store that had a display of their new boards. In her distraction, she walked to the right and bumped into someone by accident.
"Oh, Sorry," she said.
"It's alright," the other person said.
Ronnie Anne looked, seeing a tall dark-skinned girl wearing an open black jacket, a shirt with a red star on it, and a black skirt, green sneakers. She had long black hair with pieces sticking up in the back.
"Have I seen you before?" this girl asked.
"Not, that I know of, I did use to live here until a few months ago," Ronnie Anne said.
"I just moved here about 3 months ago," Stella answered.
"Then I don't think we've met before," Ronnie Anne said.
"Sorry, you just seemed familiar somehow," Stella replied.
"No worries," Ronnie Anne said.
"Hey, I know this might sound weird; but would you like to hang out? It's more fun to go around this place with someone by your side," Stella replied.
"I guess, that might fun, I'm Ronnie Anne, by the way," Ronnie Anne answered.
"That name does sound familiar, "Stella said, "My name is Stella."
The two girls walked, Ronnie Ann following Stella. They ended up going to some electronics store. It looked like it sold more parts than new electronics. Ronnie Anne didn't know why they were at this place.
"Stella! So nice to see you, are you ready to get that new hard drive?" the man behind the counter asked.
"No today, Chuck, I'm here for that old gaming system in you had," Stella replied.
"The Ryyan 214?" Chuck asked.
"Yep, it will be great for my Dad's Christmas gift," Stella replied.
"You know it doesn't fully work, right?" Chuck said.
"That's alright, it has parts that work, correct?" She asked.
"Let me guess, you are going to use it to fix another one?" he asked.
"Yep, then my Dad can have fun playing some of his old favorite games," she said.
"Let me get it," Chuck said.
Ronnie Anne looked around the store, wondering how someone sold anything at place like it. Chuck came back holding a white and gray box, an old gaming system.
"Do you need the controllers?" he asked.
"Nah, I'm good on those, how much?" Stella asked.
"Thirty-Tree Ninety-Five," he said.
"Any way we can get that down to say twenty-five?
"How about I throw in the extra controllers, free?"
"How about twenty-seven dollars?"
"Best deal, I can give you is thirty dollars and seventy-five cents; no free controllers."
"Twenty-seven, seventy-five, or I walk."
"Pretty shrewd for a child, and you are a good customer; I have the Christmas spirit, I'll give to you for twenty-four dollars, and the controllers thrown in."
"Great doing business, Chuck."
"Just don't go around saying I'm soft."
"Of course not."
She handed him the money and he bagged the merchandise. The two girls walked out of the store.
"That was awesome," Ronnie Anne said.
"Thanks, I learned that from my Uncle, and Chuck's a good guy," Stella replied.
"Do you really know how to fix that?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Yep, I take things apart and put them back together all the time, I even put together my computers," she said.
"I couldn't do that," Ronnie Anne said.
"You must be in to skateboarding; we met when you were looking at the skate shop," Stella replied.
"Yeah, are you?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"I haven't done it before," she replied.
"Hey, you should give it a try; I could show you," Ronnie Anne said.
"I don't have a board and gear."
"Dang it, I forgot it in my brother's car, anyway."
Stella looked at her phone to reply to a text.
"Hey, Ronnie, do you like video games?" Stella asked.
"Yeah! We aren't play on that thing, are we?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"No, a couple friends invited me over to play games in a couple hours, mind, If I ask if you can join?"
"Uh, sure," Ronnie Anne replied.
"They are boys, hope that doesn't bother you," Stella said.
"No, I have some friends who are boys; and I live with my cousins, most of them are boys," Ronne Anne said.
"Cool, but we still have time to do something else," Stella replied.
They decided to leave the mall and go to Flip's.
"Stella, what's your favorite Flippie? I'm buying," Ronnie Anne asked.
"I like watermelon lime," Stella replied.
"Hey, I have a friend who likes that flavor," Ronnie Anne replied.
The sidewalks were full of people doing last days of shopping. The two girls walked through this crush. A lot of people were from out of town, looking for deals, and what not.
"Look Ronnie, there's the wig store," Stella said with excitement
"Ugh," was call Ronnie Anne could muster as Stella pulled her.
The wig shop wasn't as busy as the other stores.
"What are we doing here?" Ronnie Annie asked.
"Trying on the wigs," Stella said.
"What?"
"It's fun, look try this one on."
Stella plopped a red curly haired wig on Ronnie Anne's head.
"You look like Annie, or Ronnie Annie," Stella joked.
Stella tried on a bring green wig. Ronnie Anne started laughing.
After a couple hours, Stella and Ronnie Anne finished looking around Royal Woods and were going to Stella's friend's house. Ronnie Anne thought the street they were on looked familiar, she doubted herself a little. That was until she saw a familiar house.
"You know Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Yes, wait, you know him?" Stella asked.
"He's my friend," they both said at the same time.
They laughed.
"That's where I heard about you before, you that Ronnie Anne, he talks about you often," Stella said.
"I should have realized; he talks about you a lot too," Ronnie Anne said.
"It was nice to meet you," Stella said.
"Same here," Ronnie Anne said.
