Chapter 19: Making Amends

Samantha LaRusso is in her bedroom, sitting on her bed, sobbing. She is using her phone, and is looking at Instagram photos of her and Miguel. She is thinking about how her relationship with him is currently in jeopardy, and it's all because of her father. She's hoping that her mom has talked some sense into him, but she fears that the opposite is the case. Then, she hears footsteps, and once she hears those footsteps, she immediately comes to the conclusion that it must be her father. Then, she hears the person in the hallway come up to her door and the person tries to open her door, but it won't open because it is locked.

"Sam, please open the door." Said the voice behind the door, and that voice belongs to none other than Daniel LaRusso.

Now, Sam is still very upset at her father, so upset to the point that she does not want to answer the door.

"Go Away!" Replied Sam.

Daniel sighs, realizing that Sam is not going to open the door, so now, this means he must go for Plan B.

"Look, Sam, I'm sorry about earlier today." Said Daniel.

This apology immediately catches Sam's attention. She stops sobbing and begins to pay attention to what her father is saying.

"You're not grounded, and you can still date Miguel." Continued Daniel.

Sam immediately starts to feel better, so she decides to get off of her bed and walk up to her door and unlock and open the door.

"Really?" Asked Sam after she opened the door.

"Yes, really." Answered Daniel.

Sam sighs in relief. She could not be more relieved that her father has changed his mind.

"Oh, Thank God!" Said Sam.

"And Sam, I want to make this up to you: How about you and I go eat lunch at Sonic this afternoon?" Offered Daniel. "What do you say?"

Sam smiles, happy that her father has not only apologized and ungrounded her, but is now offering to take her to one of her favorite fast food restaurants.

"I'd love that." Answered a smiling Sam. "Thanks, Dad."

Daniel smiles, happy that his daughter has forgiven him.

"You're welcome, Sam." Replied Daniel. "Well, I'll leave you alone now."

Daniel turns around and leaves Sam's bedroom.

Cut To: Downstairs, in the living room.

Amanda is sitting down in the living room, watching TV. Then, she hears her smartphone going off, so she pulls her smartphone from out of her pocket and sees that it's a text from her daughter Samantha. She opens the text message, and reads it. The text message reads the following:

Thanks for standing up for me.

Amanda smiles, happy to know that her daughter is no longer grounded. In response, she sends a text that says "You are welcome".

After replying to Sam's text, Amanda puts her phone back in her pocket. Then, Daniel walks into the living room, and looks at Amanda straight in the eye.

"Well, Daniel, a little blue bird told me that you ungrounded Sam." Said Amanda.

Daniel smiles, and says "Well that little blue bird is correct."

Daniel walks over to the couch and sits down right next to Amanda.

"But there's one more person I need to apologize to." Continued Daniel.

"And who may that be?" Replied Amanda, despite obviously knowing the answer.

"You." Confessed Daniel. "Look, I've been a jerk these past few days."

Amanda giggles and says "You have been a jerk!"

"I know, and I'm really sorry about how I've been acting." Continued Daniel. "I got mad over nothing, and our marriage almost suffered because of it, and for that, I'm sorry, and I want to make it up to you."

Amanda is relieved and glad that her husband is apologizing to her, and she smiles and asks "And how do you want to make it up to me?"

"I want to take you out tonight." Answered Daniel.

"Let me guess." Replied Amanda. "Lobster night at the country club?"

"Wow, I'm not that predictable, am I?" Replied Daniel. "Actually, I want to take you out to dinner and dancing at Don Corazon's. How does that sound?"

Amanda smiles. She thinks about what Daniel has just offered her. She has heard great things about Don Corazon's food, and the fact that Daniel has just asked her to go there with him for dinner and dancing is one of the most romantic things her husband has offered her in a very long, and she immediately knows what to say to him.

"That sounds great. I would love that!" Answered Amanda.

Daniel smiles, happy that his wife has forgiven, and says "It's a definite date!"

A Few Hours Later, at Shannon Keene's Apartment.

Shannon Keene is in the kitchen, making chicken breast for her and Robby. Then, suddenly, her cell phone starts ringing. She takes her cell phone from out of her pocket and picks it up, and sees that it's a call from Johnny, so she answers the phone.

"Hey Johnny!" Said Shannon. "I'm making chicken breast. Would you like to come over and have lunch with me and Robby?"

"No, thanks." Answered Johnny. "I already ordered myself a pizza."

"Okay." Replied Shannon. "Anyway, whatcha calling for?"

"Well, my lawyer is looking for a new secretary, and I told him that you're currently unemployed, so I was wondering if maybe you'd like to set up a job interview with him?" Offered Johnny.

Shannon thinks about what Johnny has just offered her. She really needs to get a job soon, or else, she won't have enough money to continue living in her apartment, so she knows that her decision is pretty cut and dry.

"So what do you say?" Asked Johnny.

"That sounds great." Answered Shannon. "Anyway, I gotta go, but please text me the number."

"Will do." Replied Johnny.

"Thanks." Replied Shannon. "Bye Johnny."

"Bye." Replied Johnny.

Johnny and Shannon both hang up.
