Back in the forest...

Tim woke up to the sound of his alarm clock going off next to him. He sat up, hearing it ringing next to him, before turning it off. He stood up from the bed, brushing himself off, before getting dressed for the day.

He finally got dressed, and was about to head out of his room. But just as he was about to, Pinky opens the door, carrying a tray of food in her hands. Some pancakes, a couple strawberries, and a cup of milk were on the tray. Tim was quite surprised by his girlfriend coming up here with that tray in her hands, but was grateful nonetheless.

"Oh, Pinky. I didn't expect you to actually bring me breakfast." Tim said, before the girl in blue places the tray on the table. "You didn't have to go through all this trouble to make breakfast for me." Pinky shrugged her shoulders, before turning towards her boyfriend.

"I felt pretty bad about asking that question about...your dad, so I decided to make you some breakfast to cheer you up." Pinky said. "It's the least I can do, really." Tim chuckles, before sitting down on the bed.

"It's totally fine, Pinky. There's no need to say you're sorry. I was...fine with telling you."

"I'm still shocked you really went through something like that. It must've been completely horrifying for somebody like you to go through with something like that." Tim nods his head. "But at least you're alive, right?" Tim also nods his head to that.

"Sometimes, I just wonder what my real dad is thinking whenever I am by myself. If he meant you, than I know he'd see you as such a nice girl to have around his house." Pinky blushes, before she looks down to the floor. "But either way, I...still do miss him..." Tim takes one of the strawberries, and then looks over to Pinky. "Here, do you want one of these?"

The girl in blue is given one of the strawberries that was on Tim's plate. He nods, and ate it, as Tim took another one of them so that he can eat it for himself. The girl in blue stood up from the bed, looking at the boy she was dating.

"Hey, my mom and dad are downstairs, since they want to go out to explore some of the forest." Pinky said. "Do you want to come with us after breakfast? We are actually eating our food as well." Tim nods his head.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world." Tim said. Pinky smiled, nodding her head, before backing up towards the door behind her. "Hey, uh...I forgot if we had this conversation or not, but...are there going to be animals out there, like bears, or...wolves, or..." Pinky shook her head.

"My cousin has walked through this forest multiple times, Tim. There's no need to be worried." Tim nods his head, placing the tray of him in front of him. "The only thing that's something we really don't want to go to is the lake. Like I said, there's piranhas in there. So that's something neither of us wants to encounter." The girl in blue opens the door behind herself, then looks back to her boyfriend. "Anyways, I'm going to continue to eat my breakfast and wait for you along with my parents, enjoy your meal, sweetie."

"You too, sweetie."

Pinky leaves Tim to continue his breakfast, as she went downstairs where her parents were at. She walked over to the table where they were sitting at, sitting in front of her plate of pancakes. She picks up her fork, and starts eating some of her food. She ate some of her food, before looking out the window that was above the counter nearby.

"Tim's awake, and he's going to be joining us to go out to the forest." Pinky told her parents. "I thought he was going to stay here at the house, knowing that there was video games here." The girl points behind herself, pointing at the TV in the living room area.

"I'm happy that Tim is able to join along with us. He is such a nice boy." Pinky's mother said to her daughter.

"Did you ever end up hearing what he was keeping to himself last night? By the way he was keeping it to himself, it had both of us very worried." Pinky's father said.

"Tim was..." Pinky said, before stopping herself from saying what Tim told her last night, as she left like it was only personal between the two of them.

The girl shook her head, keeping what her and Tim's conversation was about to herself. She didn't want to instantly reveal what she and Tim were talking about last night, as mentioning it would get Tim angry with her for doing so. The blue girl stopped herself from speaking, which she tried to avoid the conversation by doing something totally different. She decided to avoid the question.

"Uh...I don't think we actually talked about it." Pinky said, defending her boyfriend instead of telling her parents the truth. "I don't really think we really brought up in the conversation we had last night."

"What were you talking about last night?" Pinky's mother asked her. Pinky blinked a couple times, before coughing a little bit.

"Just...about the color blue, that's all." Pinky continued to silently eat her food to herself, before her parents nodded their heads. They knew their daughter talks about the color blue a lot, even when she was younger, as it was her favorite color. So they decided to believe that's what her and Tim's conversation was really all about.


Meanwhile...

Back in the downtown area...

"So you just allowed your best friend to go off with some party girl you're not really friends with?" Renee asked. "I don't think that this is even a good idea."

Katie was actually busy babysitting Chaz's little cousin Renee while he was at the auto-shop. The two were at the playground, as Katie was sitting on the bench, while Renee was standing up, hearing the older tomboy tell her what her former best friend was doing. Even though Renee has never really known Crystal all that much, she knew that her cousin's girlfriend was probably going along with a bad idea here.

"Renee, I feel like if Crystal was going to try to be good, than I rather help her out a little bit." Katie said.

"By...allowing some party girl to help her out?" Renee asked, sarcastically. "You really think this plan is not going to be backfiring...in any sort of way? I really doubt things are going to be good after letting Sapphire help her out." Katie pats the younger girl on her shoulder, deciding to reassure her of the whole ordeal that's happening.

"Look Renee, you're...what now? Nine? You don't know how dating works yet..."

"Poppy does."

"But I'm not Violet..."

"But you babysit her more than me, so she probably said a lot about her older sister's relationship with Ghostly." Renee stomps her foot on the ground, placing her hands on her hips, still disagreeing with what Katie allowed to happen. "No offense, I feel like you really made a huge mistake here. That girl is crazy."

"I know, but Renee...I'm doing what...I feel is right. Okay?" Katie points towards the playground. "By the way, is Poppy waiting for you to come to the swings with her?" Renee looks behind herself, before looking at Katie again.

"Nah, I doubt Poppy needs me to go over there and bother her since...well, Billy is one of her friends." Renee shrugged. "But hey, I doubt they will mind me hanging around them while they are on the swings. Also, the swings are fun. I'll come talk to you later." Katie nods her head.

"Okay, be careful over there."

Katie looks over to the opposite side of the playground, noticing Violet on the other bench. Violet was sitting there, texting somebody on her phone as she was by herself. The tomboy then took notice of the goth's little sister on the swings, playing with a boy who she can assume is Billy, a friend she mentions a lot, and is one of her classmates. Renee walked up to them, and the three were happy to see each other.

Seeing this is a good enough time to talk to Violet, Katie stood up from the bench, and headed over to the goth. Katie places her hands in her pockets as she was walking over to her. Violet took notice of the tomboy walking over to her.

"Katie, you're here too?" Violet asked her as she was coming over to her. Katie nods her head, stopping in front of her.

"Yeah. Babysitting Renee over there." Katie said, pointing behind herself at the swing-set. "I see that Poppy and Billy are still happy with each other, huh?" Violet nods her head.

"They are good friends with each other in school, indeed." Violet stood up from the bench, placing her phone into her pocket, before turning her head towards Katie. "I don't think Poppy talks about Renee too much, sadly enough. Those two did enjoy playing chess together that one time in the library." Katie nods her head. "So is Chaz at the auto-shop?" Katie nods her head again.

"You bet he is. Ghostly at Gino's Pizzeria?"

"No, he's at Gabby's Junkyard."

"Ah, I see. Hey, speaking of junkyard...Crystal is actually going to be finding a new boyfriend, and trying to redeem herself so that she and I can be friends again."

Violet stood there, raising an eyebrow at the tomboy in front of her. Like Renee, Violet wasn't so sure that this kind of idea is good. But to the goth girl, this was something that she found completely ridiculous and unbelievable to think is happening. Crystal trying to make things right? In Violet's head, that's insane.

"You're really allowing this to happen? Crystal is a psycho. No way is she going to change for you." Violet said, crossing her arms.

"But she's...I know I shouldn't trust her either...but if she's willing to change for me, I'm willing to take a chance on her, and let Sapphire help her." Katie said, holding her hands in defense. "Crystal's willing to do this for me, and...maybe to you, it's probably something you should at least, try to consider, since Crystal is wanting to try to make things right." The goth girl crossed her arms, shaking her head at that idea. She really didn't want to go through with knowing that the rebel girl who almost ruined her boyfriend's life was going to change. This was something Violet had a massive issue with.

"Look, Lord Daniel tried to destroy me and Ghostly's relationship once he came to Simport to try to fix our relationship." Violet explains to Crystal. "I didn't forgive him whatsoever when he tried to get me to like cute shit, like flowers, puppies, and even had to make me wear purple and pink bullshit. Crystal is no different than him at all. So no, there's no way I am EVER going to forgive her for her actions, even if she redeems herself." Katie frowned hearing that. "I honestly don't know why the hell you would even give her the light of day in the first place."

"Violet, I was only doing this in hopes to see a good side to her. It's foolish, but I'm willing to give her a chance."

"Then you hope that she does change, because I am not giving her any sort of chance at all." Violet sat back down on the bench. "For all I can see from Crystal, she can go die off for all I can care." The goth than looks at Katie, shaking her head. "Just know that when she screws up again, or...hell, maybe destroys the dentist maybe, don't try to say I didn't tell you to not trust her at all."

The tomboy didn't say anything to the goth girl after that was said. If Violet was going to behave this way, instead of hoping to give Crystal a chance after some time, than she wasn't going to attempt an argument to change her mind. Because Katie knows for a fact that she can't change Violet's mind out of all people. So she decided to not go through with an argument of all things. The tomboy went back to the bench she was sitting on before.
