While strolling down the street, Leni, Jackee, Mandee, Miguel and Fiona were making up a cool dance.
"This is so fun" Jackee said. "I just love the way the city looks. Those buildings sure are tall".
"You can say that again," Miguel commented. "Do you think the city has a subway we can go for a ride on?"
Leni answered "well, Lori said there is. She tried to take on to 45th street, but like accidentally stepped on to one that runs express to 250th street."
"Oh yeah" Mandee said. "Carol gave me a map of the city. There's a playground at 88th Street, but the closest stop is 86th street."
"Let's go," Fiona said.
While waiting for the train, Jackee said to the others "I'm starting to have second thoughts about the subway. Some cities are full of tragic crimes."
"We got your back" Fiona said.
When their train arrived, they hopped on. The subway ride was going smoothly since the train they were on was making all local stops to 181st Street. At the 59th Street stop, one bystander got on and pushed Miguel out of his seat.
"Move," the bystander said.
"Hey," Miguel said. "I was sitting there".
Miguel tried to get his seat back, but the bystander knocked him to the floor.
"Told you this was a bad idea" Jackee said.
At 87th Street, Leni said to the others "okay, so some people are less respectful than others. Don't let one rude act ruin your good time."
That was when they saw someone holding a knife in its hand.
"I'm gonna go see what the deal with this dude is" Mandee said.
Just as she started asking for the man's name, the dude stabbed her with the knife and dashed off.
"Ow!" she said.
The others came over.
"Well?" Fiona asked.
"He got away," Mandee said. "And look. He stabbed me with the knife."
Miguel was able to pull it out.
"Thanks," Mandee said. "I'm not gonna let a little stabbing ruin our anniversary."
"That's the spirit," Leni said. "Let's go have some fun."
At the playground, the gang was playing hopscotch and swinging on the swings. Their fun was soon cut short when the dude who stabbed Mandee returned.
"Hey," the dude said. "Having fun with your dumb pals, are you?"
"You again" Miguel said. "What business do you have messing with my friends like that?"
"That's not your business," The dude said.
He then knocked Miguel down to the ground and gave Mandee a harder stabbing before dashing off again. Leni, Fiona and Jackee looked over and saw what happened.
"You 2 okay?" Fiona asked.
"I wish," Miguel said.
Both he and Mandee got bruised up again.
"Could this day totes get any worse?" Leni asked.
All they wanted to do was enjoy their friendship anniversary. They thought it was going to be over, but before all hope was lost, 2 superheroes came to the rescue. It was Ronnie Anne and her mom, also known as the Slick Skater and the Midnight Nurse.
"OMG!" Leni said.
"What happened here?" the Midnight Nurse asked.
Leni answered "it's the 10th anniversary of when we became friends."
Jackee added "so we decided to come out here to celebrate."
Miguel then said, "but this dude left me bea up with an injured head."
Mandee added, "and the same person stabbed me twice. We saw him dash off towards 91st street, but 2 of us are too bruised up to chase him."
The slick skater got an idea.
"Leni" she said. "You stay here with the injured. Jackee, Fiona, you 2 are with me. I'll help you catch that dude."
"Thanks," Fiona said. "Like we said, he's heading towards 91st street."
The 3 of them dashed off after the criminal.
"Let's start with some ice to cool down the pain," the Midnight Nurse said.
After icing down the wounds, she put bandages on the cuts they got. In a snap, Miguel and Mandee were feeling better.
"Thank you Midnight Nurse," Miguel said.
"No problem," she said back. "And happy anniversary to you."
The Midnight Nurse then rolled off. None of those 3 could believe what they witnessed.
Meanwhile, at 91st Street, the chase was on.
"Where is he?" Fiona asked.
The 3 girls spotted him stealing from one of the stores. He then scurried off again.
"There he is," Jackee said out loud.
"Hang on," the Slick Skater told the other 2. "This chase is about to get wild."
In a snap, the 3 girls raced after him. The chase continued up to 93rd Street where he continued west.
"Grab that recycled rope, Fiona" Jackee said.
Fiona picked it up.
"Great idea," the Slick Skater said. "Let's tie this bad boy down."
The girls caught up to him and did just that.
"We'll be taking that stuff," Fiona said.
The caught criminal then said "you may have busted me, but I know it's you Ronnie Anne Santiago. You may have a score of 90 at skating, but your score is still 0 when it comes to you being with your true love."
It hit Ronnie Anne, a.k.a. the Slick Skater so much, she said to the other 2 girls "now I'm the one that's gonna need the Midnight Nurse."
"Let's return this stolen stuff first," Jackee said.
After returning the stolen items, they skated off.
"Thanks for helping us stop that mean dude, girl" Jackee said.
"No problem," Ronnie Anne, a.k.a. the Slick Skater said. "Though, I still feel like it was for nothing. Did you see how he hurt my feelings?"
"Yep," Fiona said.
"Sorry this anniversary didn't go the way you wanted," the Slick Skater said.
"Maybe next anniversary," Fiona said.
Jackee then said "now, if you don't mind, is it okay if we return to our friends?"
Ronnie Anne, a.k.a. the Slick Skater, thought that was a great idea. With that, they skated off back to their friends.
Fiona then said to Jackee, "well, if flex tape can't heal the inner wounds Ronnie Anne has, maybe the Midnight Nurse can."
"Let's hope so," Jackee replied. "That was one hard burn. I'm really hoping that's the last tragic thing that happens today."
Luckily for Fiona and Jackee, it was. The same goes for Leni, Miguel and Mandee.
