A few hours later, Leni and her friends were all back at the Casagrandes' apartment.
"Is she going to be okay?" Lincoln asked.
Ronnie Anne's mom, a.k.a. The Midnight Nurse told them she'll be okay.
"That must have been one hard hit to the heart," she said.
"It was," Ronnie Anne commented. "The only good thing to happen today is Lincoln and Lori returning to visit. Did I mention their city chic styles are just as good as the ones Leni and Fiona have?"
"They are cool," Rosa Casagrande said.
Miguel then said to the others "10 years since me, Leni, Jackee, Mandee and Fiona became friends. All we wanted to do was come out here to celebrate, and all we got was to witness tragic crimes."
"This was totes not our day," Leni said.
The others felt bad for the 5 of them.
"Sorry your anniversary didn't go as planned," Carlota said.
"It's alright," Mandee said. "I just wish there was something that can cheer all of us up."
There was something like that. That was when Ronnie Anne's homie- Sid Chang a.k.a. The Silly Groover- came in.
"Someone in need of a cheer up?" she asked.
Miguel told her that someone did need cheering up.
With that, Sid Chang busted out some silly dance moves. The others began laughing. Sid Chang's silly dancing kept the gang laughing until their sides began to hurt.
"Thanks Sid" Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah," Miguel said. "That makes our bad day not feel so bad anymore."
That was when the Harlem Globetrotters came in.
"My goodness" Fiona said. "You're the Harlem Globetrotters."
"That's right," they said.
The others could not believe they were in the Casagrandes' apartment.
Number 39 a.k.a. Orlando Melendez said to them "I hear some of you are celebrating an anniversary."
"We are," Miguel commented. "It's the 10th anniversary of when me, Leni, Fiona, Jackee and Mandee became friends."
Mandee added "but our day turned into a bunch of tragedy ending situations."
Number 2 a.k.a. Carlos English replied "we know. You're on the news."
After showing them what the Globetrotters mean, the others couldn't believe it.
Number 19 a.k.a. Saul White Junior said to them, "the mayor of Great Lakes City told us about it, and as our way of saying thank you, we got you guys these. You guys can celebrate your anniversary with us."
The others were super excited.
"Thank you," Leni said.
"We hope you 5 have a good time," Hector said.
"And that you Globetrotters come out with a big win," Lori said.
On the other hand, the Globetrotters had a different idea in mind.
At the big Globetrotters game, Lori said to the others "there is now way I can literally believe this is happening."
"I don't think any of us can," Frida Puga Casagrande commented. "I can't believe we get to watch the Globetrotters play, and not just on TV."
They were cheering and clapping for them. During halftime, Number 52 a.k.a. Nathaniel Lofton led the way in thanking Leni and her pals for helping that homeless teenager and for stopping that thief who left Mandee stabbed and Ronnie Anne heartbroken.
He then said, "speaking of Ronnie Anne, if she wasn't here tonight, she'll be missing this. 5 musical boys are here for their big halftime performance. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome 12 Is Midnight! Come on out boys!"
While they were doing their thing, Ronnie Anne and Sid Chang had 2 of the biggest smiles.
"This is the best night ever!" Sid Chang said to the others.
"I know," Lori commented. "You guys finally got your wish."
"This is amazing," Fiona commented.
"Could this night get any better?" Jackee asked.
For sure enough, it was about to get better.
With 10 seconds left on the clock, the Globetrotters needed one more basket to win. Nathaniel was going for it.
The announcer said to everyone watching, "Nathaniel's gonna do it with 5 seconds left. He's in. Can he do it for 3?"
He did.
"He does!" the announcer yelled. "Globetrotters win 112-109!"
The entire audience was blasting out excitement. Outside, they couldn't believe the night they were having.
"Best game ever!" Leni said to them.
"Nathaniel was on fire," Lincoln commented.
"And can you believe that halftime show?" Carlota asked.
"I still can't believe we got to see 12 Is Midnight perform," Ronnie Anne said.
"Me neither," Sid commented. "I even got their autographs for us. I kind of had extras. Here Leni. You and your pals can show everyone at school."
"Thanks," Leni said.
"Best anniversary ever," Miguel said.
The others were in total agreement. With that, they strolled off back to the Casagrandes' apartment. It was going to be a long time before any of them could crash for the night, so we'll just let them go out and enjoy it.
With the 10th anniversary ready to close out, there's still one thing I would like to know from you guys. What do you think the 15th anniversary of when Leni, Jackie, Mandee, Miguel and Fiona first became friends will be like?
The end.
