Clear Hector's name
Sean's P.O.V.:
"Well you know today as we gather to celebrate the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time as we near the feast of Christ the King we learn in today's Gospel about the poor woman who only gave two coins that she had to treasury of the temple. Why is that? What can we as Catholics learn from this lesson Jesus gave us today," Father Isaac was explaining to people at Mass while Lauren and I were serving today. We both were listening to the homily he was giving intensely trying to figure out what he meant.
"In a way this passage connects to the story of Fatima and the shepherd children in particular who gave up everything to do penance for sinners that Our Lady requested them to do. True they would have said no but they felt in God that deemed them worthy for their vocation even if it meant living lives that God directed them to be. As we go into this week more fully, I invite all of you to think of the message of Fatima and the example the children have been giving in which we can learn from them. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Amen," Father Isaac blessed the congregation. "Amen," we replied and so he went back into the presider's chair to sit down.
Mass went on as usual for us since Sean was carrying the cross with the people bringing up the gifts. I just smiled as they came down with Sean. "Thank you," I whispered to them as I handed them over to the deacon. Sean rang the bells during the transubstantiation sequence and I just bowed my head during the moment to keep it personal with me and God alone. Communion soon came time and I just bowed humbly. "The Body of Christ," Father Isaac told me holding out the host. "Amen," I replied with my hands folded like a butterfly and received the host and went back to my chair. I knelt in front of my chair and began to silently pray in my heart hoping for a very good day today and no prankster attacks. Afterwards the time came for announcements.
"Just a few reminders for all of you Monsignor Daniel wanted me to mention at Mass this morning. Religious articles are available for sale today in the vestibule so if you have a chance please take a look. Senior Youth group is meeting tonight at the Fatima center so please for our high school students come join us. And everything else is in the bulletin okay," Father continued with the announcements then the closing prayer and afterwards we began to recess down the nave to the song "Lead me Lord" I just felt at ease with myself walking back down the aisle now over to the sacristy with Sean after I blew out the candle.
"Wow, what a Mass eh Lauren," I asked. "You bet Sean. Now all we can worry about is relaxing," she told me as we both took off our altar serving albs. Keith soon popped his head into the sacristy door. "May I help you," Monsignor Daniel asked him. "It's alright. I'm looking for my friends Lauren and Sean," Keith answered. "Were right here Keith. This is our friend, we were talking about Father Daniel," I told him with a smile. "Oh, sorry didn't realize it for a second. Nice to meet you," he greeted. "You too. Come on guys, after you put your stuff away. We got to get Hector to show him the surprise," he told us with a smile.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
Sean and I quickly headed out the door after church back to the house and placed our stuff in our rooms. I soon saw Hector in his room. "Hey, you coming," I asked my brother. "For what," he asked. "Keith's got a surprise," Sean pointed out. "A surprise? Lead the way," Hector said intrigued and followed us out of the apartment. Keith soon blindfolded Hector and we led him through the streets until we were near the spot where he wanted to be. "Guys where are you taking me? I can't see a thing," Hector asked us. "Well your about to find out right now Hector," Keith told him getting into a position to see the surprise that was in store. "Ready guys," Keith asked. "You bet. Okay one, two, three take off the blindfold," I counted and soon Keith took off the blindfold which Hector could see now then looked up. "Surprise," Keith said happily.
"I'm a huge fan of the Electric Diner," Hector read in surprise. "Yep," Sean told him with a smile. "Dude, this is amazing. You know when your dad asked me to help without with advertising for the diner I never thought it would end up on a bill board," Hector explained. "Well we can agree that it is big," Sean said looking up. "It sure is Sean. I'm just glad Hector likes it," I told him. "Like it? Like it Lauren, really? I love it and I must admit I look good up on a billboard," Hector squealed and I could not be happier for him. He is my brother after all.
"Do you think is going to get in his head Lauren," Sean asked me. "Well, with Hector and his ego nowadays, I bet you yes," I told him. "Not this time Lauren," Hector told me. "You sure? What about that photo of you in the paper just last week," I asked him. "That's different, it's a really great picture of me to be honest and I like that's all," Hector told us. "Okay, if you say so," I said in a sing song fashion. "Why did you say that," Sean asked me. "Just wait a few seconds," I told him as Paul came by wanting Hector's autograph. "Of course Paul, I would love to sign something for you buddy, where would you like it," Hector talked to him smiling.
My eyes soon darted back up to the building and I saw Francine recording the whole thing before making a word ball. "Uh Sean, Hector, Keith you may want to check the bill board again," I told them. "What do you mean Laur," Hector asked and soon the sign now read I'm a huge lair. "I'm a huge liar," Hector read. Paul looked stunned and took bath the autograph he wanted from Hector and walked away. "Paul wait," Hector called trying to catch up with him. "Well this isn't going as hoped," I pointed out the sign.
"Lauren's right, that's not true I'm a huge fan not a liar," Hector said. "Well we know who did it in the first place but you have to change it," I told him. "Good point. Let's get working," Hector told us. "Uh Hector, I hate to break it to you, but you need a lot more height in order to the billboard," Sean told him. "I know Sean besides, I got a good amount of height," he told us and started to throw a word ball near the building but didn't go high as he thought. It kept crashing on people and they weren't happy about it either. "Well that didn't work," I pointed out. "Guess there's one thing he has to do," Keith told us. "Desperate measure," I suggested. "You bet. HEY YOU GUYS," Hector called out and we began running over to the Electric Diner faster than cheetahs. We arrived to see Jess, Lisa, Shock and Leo already waiting for us.
"Hey you guys heard," Hector asked. "Heard? People are sending pictures about it and telling Leo they won't eat here again," Jess said. "You should be disappointed Hector," Shock told him. "Okay I did not say I'm a liar on there," he pointed out. "Then who did," Lisa asked. "I'll give you hints her name starts with fr and ends with ancine," I said sitting down. "Francine," Shock growled. "Her," Sean agreed. "I'm not happy about it too Hector but we know you didn't put it up there," Leo told us. "I understand Leo; yet I wish people would just understand that I'm not a liar," Hector groaned.
"Well from what I can tell you big brother is you got to combat accusations head on like what did Jesus do during his trial," I asked. "He heard the accusations of those accusing them of things he really did yet the people twisted them up," he answered. "Exactly, so what are you going to do in this case," I replied. "I'm going to take it head on and ignore them just like haters ignoring others," he told me. "That's the spirit," I told him. "Thanks Lauren, I think I see a compassion side of you even as you go down the road towards your destiny," he told me. "You're not going to tell me my destiny yet are you," I asked. "Nope. Only when the time is right," he told me.
"By the way Lisa, a text came for you," Leo said handing her the cell phone. "Thanks. Oh great the she devil sent me something with a link again this time," she groaned. "Yeah, let's hope it is not one of those idiot blogs she posts," Jess said looking over Lisa's shoulder as we watched. "Hello and welcome dear viewers back for another episode of Francine on the Scene. Breaking news today it is now publicized that Hector Ruiz, of Electric Company fame is a liar. Just look what the Electric Diner has to say about him now. It's sad isn't it? For all the boys and girls who look up to the Electric Company as heroes only to find out now he is a liar. I'm sorry," Francine spoke as we watched the video.
"Well, Francine is about to get into trouble," Lisa scoffed. "She is," Sean asked. "Oh she will alright cause it is time for me to confront her and have a little chat," Hector smirked. "I agree and I think it's time I had a talk with her mother as well. I payed a lot of money for the board. Come on guys," Leo told us as we got up from the chairs and began to walk over to Francine's building to talk with the two of them. "So, I saw you and Sean at Mass," Leo told us. "You sure did. The altar serving team works together," I told him with a smile and highfived Sean. "Yeah, so you think Keith into Religious Ed on time," he asked. "Talk with Father Isaac and see if you can get something to work," I advised. "Thanks Lauren," he told me.
"Were here guys," Keith called as we reached the building where the sign was. "See it dad," Keith asked. "Sure do son," he replied. "This is her building so, what do we do," Sean asked. "Well we gotta get up to her floor and change the word back to fan again," he told us. "Well you may want to ask now cause here comes the she devil and her mother," Jess sneered. We looked to see the two of them coming with shopping bags full of clothes and we walked right up to them. "Excuse me I'm looking for Mrs. Carruthers," Leo asked coming forward to the women.
"Yes I am Antigone Carruthers and I presume you are," she asked stiffly. "Leo Watson of the Electric Diner. We come to ask you about the sign," he told her. "The one of the lying boy. Yes, I actually want it to be removed from the building please," she asked him. "Okay Leo is not a maid and two he will not take down the sign," I sassed. "Yeah and the lying boy's name fyi is Hector," Sean told her. "Will someone teach these two manners," she scoffed at us. "Well the real reason were here is because Francine changed the billboard words to say liar instead of fan," Hector told her. "Francine, is this true," she asked. "Well, uh I, wouldn't do that mother," she told her sweetly. "I know you wouldn't sweetheart," she replied.
"Well someone changed it and we think it's you Ms. Innocent," I snapped. "How dare you speak to my daughter like that," Mrs. Carruthers scoffed. "More like how dare you snap at the person who has a greater destiny far more imagined than anyone has. Show her respect," Sean ranted at her almost coming up to hit her. "Sean easy," I told him gently laying a hand on his arm and he relaxed. "It's true what we are saying so back off the innocent act and tell everyone here the truth," Jess told her. "Easy Jess. Mrs. Carruthers with all due respect I believe the simple solution to this is to let us into your building so we can change the word please," Leo explained. "I'm afraid not or never Mr. Watson especially with this person of questionable character like his should not be welcome at my house at all or anywhere in particular. Good day," she told us with a huff. "Good day," Francine replied with a sneer. I just hissed and so did Sean.
"THAT SHE DEVIL. I SWEAR THE MOMENT SHE CONFESSES, I WILL GIVE HER THE BIGGEST RANT OF MY LIFE," Jess and I panted feeling rage at what she did. "Easy you two, easy calm down okay," Hector and Sean told us calming down. "Thanks guys," we both breathed relieved.
Lisa's P.O.V.:
"You know, I've been thinking but what if we had enough height to reach the top of the building with a word ball and change the sign back," I suggested. "Good idea Lisa, I like the way you're thinking. But there's one problem," Hector told us. "What's that," Lauren asked. "We can't get it high enough. I already tried when it occurred," Hector told us. "True your right," we agreed.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"Yeah but how do we send a word ball up high into the sky," Jess asked. We all thought for a few moments until I got an idea. "Lauren lightbulb," Sean announced. "I got it. Why don't we get a whole bunch of different items that we think can send the word ball high enough? We can do an experiment," I suggested. "Good idea Lauren," Hector said. "Perfect," Lisa said as well. "Works for me," Keith added. "I'll run home and get a pump for a tire," Jess told us taking off. "I'll get a tennis racket," Keith told us. "I'll get a baseball bat," Sean said taking off. "I'll get some sport equipment I kept," Leo told us and soon we all took off in different directions getting items we needed.
I still feel bad about my brother being accused of this. I know he wouldn't do this but he is my brother. Back at the house, we found everything yet I wasn't sure if this would work. I knelt before the statue of Our Lady of Fatima on my night stand and poured out to Jesus everything. "Jesus, I know you can hear me now and I beg you to help us understand this. Hector isn't a liar and you know that from the moment he was created by your father. True, we stumble and fall but you help us back in the race. Please Lord, relieve this suffering from us. Hector isn't a liar and I love him so much just like you love him," I cried and silently sniffled my tears as footsteps came into my room.
"You mean it Lauren," Hector asked holding me in his arms. "I do Hector. You're my brother and I became protective of you. Just like you promised dad," I told him. "I know Lauren, I know. But that doesn't mean you told me once to love your enemies and accusers as they were your own," Hector said quoting scripture. "You took that from me did you," I asked. "I sure did Lauren. I love you so much," he told me. "I love you too," I said hugging him. "Come on guys, Leo got a whole bunch of stuff for us let's go," Jess said poking her head into my room and we headed back to the building where the others were waiting for us. "Well, we got a whole bunch of ideas," Sean pointed out. "Yeah we do my friend. Now let's try which one to see what works," Hector told us.
"Okay, how about I start with the sling shot," Keith suggested. "Works for me," Hector told him. Keith soon made a word ball, placed into the sling shot while aiming for the billboard and let it launched. I felt like it was going to make it but went downhill after getting a few feet up not quite near where we wanted. "Dang it," Keith cursed and soon threw the word ball out of the way. "Well, sling shot won't work. Try the tennis racket," I suggested. "Great idea Lauren," Jess told me and she made a word ball and with a good swing of the tennis racket hit it high in the sky. "Alright Jess," I told her with a high five. "Thank you sis, thank you," she told me though it did go down onto the ground like Keith's. "Cross racket off the list," I told Sean. "Okay, I got it how about some golf," Lisa told us. "Worth a shot," Hector told her with a smile.
Lisa soon got the tee and a wordball set ready to go with a golf club in her hands. "FORE," she shouted and soon swung the club over her body taking the word ball with her. It got on the building like we wanted but didn't go onto the bill board only to a wall. "Nice," she scoffed. "Cross off golf," I told her. "Man, none of the things we have seem to work," Sean told us. "Don't say that yet Sean, besides we got a pump here and honestly how would it work all it does is pump air," I told him. "That's mine guys," Shock said coming over. "Shock? This is yours," I asked. "Yeah. I use to ride my bike a lot when I was a kid," he told us. "So how does this help us with the word ball again," Hector asked.
"Oh. What you would do is pump a lot of air and if you have something in it like a rocket, it gets a good amount of height," he told us. "Really," I asked. "Sure does, watch," Shock said getting a rocket from his pocket and pumping a lot of air into the thing before it launched out of the chute into the air before touching the ground. "Wow man, I'm impressed. That sure gave a lot of height," Hector told him. "Thanks. Honestly I think it's better than some of the others you tried," he told us with a chuckle. "Hey," Jess, Keith and Lisa said in unison looking at him. "What? I'm serious," he said holding his arms up. "Well now the $10,000 question is can it launch a word ball," Lisa asked.
"Only one way to find out," Sean told all of us. "Let's see how it goes," I said to the others as Hector placed a word ball into the pump. "Shock you ready," I asked. "Ready," he told us standing by the pump ready to launch it. "Alright dude, let her rip," Hector called. With one pump of air, Shock launched the word ball high into the air before it got onto a van with the word on the hood of the car. "Sorry," we called out to the driver and wiped the word away from the van. "Okay, I think with this, we just found a way to launch a word ball," I told my friends and family. "You're right Laur. Come on let's change that sign," Hector told us. "Yeah," we all cheered and I couldn't help but feel more excited.
That was until I saw Francine up on the balcony recording the whole thing for her vlog. Great. "Sean, she's back," I told him looking up. "Francine," he asked. "Yep. Why does she always have to do this? Doing it to my brother when really she can do it to any member of the Electric Company," I asked him. "Well I think one way obviously is she has a secret crush on your brother," Sean revealed. I looked at him. "WHAT," I yelled. The others looked at me when I shouted. "Nothing," I assured them. I quickly pulled Sean to the side. "What do you mean she has a crush on Hector," I asked him. "I think she's doing this to get his attention. I found this when we confronted them a little while ago," Sean said handing me a piece of paper with her writing in a journal format.
"Dear me, today you realize the future that Hector Ruiz and I are meant to be. No more Electric Company just me and him. I will love him forever and not even innocent Lisa will take him from my loving arms. From Francine," I read out loud reading the note. "So that she devil wants to play dirt huh, well if dirt is what she wants, that's what she'll get," I smirked. "Lauren, need your guidance," Hector called. "Coming," Sean and I told him as I placed the note back into my jacket pocket. "You called," I asked happily.
"Yes we did, so we need to figure out what angle is best to launch the word ball, have any suggestions," Hector asked. "How about adjusting it to the left a little bit, and tilt it just a tiny bit higher," Sean told him adjusting the pump. "Okay, let's give it a whirl," Shock said pumping the air into the pump. The ball launched high but soon landed on the building wall again. "Nope," Shock told us. "Hold on guys, I got something," Keith told us. "You do," I asked. "Yep," he said doing his special skill making a straight line and adjusting the line itself. "Okay all we have to do is adjust the launcher to the angle were at and I can guarantee you we can reach the bill board," Keith told us. "Genius," I told him. "Perfect," Sean admitted. "Works for me," Hector told him. "Okay easy does it guys," I told them as we adjusted the launcher to the right angle. "Alright everyone ready," Shock asked. "Yes sir," we replied. "Prepared to launch," he called out. With one pump the ball began to reach higher and higher towards the board.
"Come on," I said crossing my fingers even though dramatic music was playing in the background I think. "Moment of truth," Sean breathed as it climbed higher. Hector started to smile knowing this would work and hopefully it will be back to normal but the hope died down as soon as an umbrella blocked the angle and the ball landed on it. "No," Hector groaned and so did we. "Come on, she had to block it," Sean groaned. "Huh, you're telling me," I admitted. "Look what you did liar, you ruined my mother's umbrella," Francine called out. "No what LOOK YOU DID! YOU RUINED OUR ANGLE," I shouted back. "Well, the world will have to hear about this," she told us. "YOU WANT TO ANOTHER THING WERE SYAING, DON'T COUNT ON IT," Sean shouted to Francine as she walked away.
"Come on let's head to the diner," Hector told us as we walked away with the pump right by us and Shock followed behind. "Hey Sean, Lauren what did you mean by the don't count on it," he asked us. "We found this," I said taking the note out of my pocket. Shock looked it over and read it in surprise. "She'd doing this because she has a crush on him," he asked us. "Yep," I replied. "Oh, this is a good old case of bad girl vs Hector," he said happily. Sean and I just shook our heads and smiled walking back into the diner. "Any luck," Leo asked. "Nope," the others replied. "You guys were so close to fixing it," Leo told us. "I know. Besides she blocked our angle not cool," Lisa told us. "So now what," Keith asked.
The phone started ringing again and this time I knew it wasn't good news. "Jess, phone ringing," I told her. "On it sis," she said getting the phone. "Oh the she devil posted an update," she told us. "What is it this time," I asked. "Hi everyone we are back with continuing coverage of this story. Hector's a big liar yet his friends and him are trying to change it while splattering words on my building, take a look," she said showing footage of us throwing the balls and not cleaning them up. "So what is the next terrible thing he will do," Francine told the camera.
"Great. Now I'm going to be called a liar forever and no one will trust us," Hector complained. "Oh stop your whining at this moment Hector. I'm not giving up and neither are you. It's time we fight Francine's fire with our fire," I told them standing up from the chair. "What do you mean Lauren," Leo asked. "It's time we create our own vlog and contradict Francine's accusations," I told them. "How," Keith asked. "Jess, camera me please," I asked for my camcorder. She handed it over to me. "Thank you very much. Hector, tell everyone even the gorilla how you really feel," I said recording the video. Latin rock music started to swirl and Hector stood up from his chair.
Hector singing
There's a rumor round and it's going round.
Yet it isn't true, still a lot people believe it too.
They knew me yeah they do. You knew me when I was just a little guy.
Did I ever tell you a lie?
They knew me before still I am the same, so please help me, help me, help me clear my name.
I ask you to listen to every side before you decide who lies, yeah, yeah oh yeah.
Yet people only show you things they desire for you to see.
Yet it's up to you to learn all you can
Still the truth always wins, and I love the truth.
They can say I'm a big fan.
They knew me before still I am the same, so please help me, help me, help me clear my name.
I ask you to listen to every side before you decide, who lied, yeah, yeah oh yeah.
End Hector singing
Sean's P.O.V.:
"Alright Hector," I applauded and so did everyone in the diner for that song. Hector smiled and blushed coming down from the stage. "Leo, we were wrong to judge Hector can you forgive us," some customers asked him. "I think you need to ask Hector," Leo told him. "Hector, can you please forgive us were sorry we judged you," the customers asked him. "Of course, I forgive all of you," he told them with a smile. They were relieved and soon went on their way out of the diner. "Alrighty then, with that out of the way the question still remains on how we are going to get a word ball up to the billboard without Francine blocking it," I asked.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"And I think Keith just gave us an idea," I told them looking at Keith. "I did," he asked us with surprise. "Uh huh," I told them. "What is it," everyone asked and Paul soon came over. "Hey Paul, what is it buddy," I asked. He grunted at us telling the idea we had in mind about the ball bouncing on a higher angle. "Good idea," I told him. "What did he say Laur," Hector asked. "He's saying that if we launch the word ball in the opposite direction, we can hit the billboard," I told them.
"That can work," Sean agreed and so did Hector. "But how will it work? I'm confused," Jess told us. "Well, it's like with the ball Keith has in his hand. If I threw it away from myself at the right angle, it would come back to me higher," I said demonstrating it to Jess. "Which would mean that if we hit it at the right angle that across the street it will bounce back at the angle and go over the umbrella," Jess clarified. "Yep," Sean answered. "But how does that explain the fact that Francine may deny changing the billboard again," Hector asked.
"Well, that's where we come into play," Sean said to them. "How," Lisa asked. "Look what we found," I said taking the paper that was in my jacket pocket the whole time. "What is that," Keith asked. "Open up and read for yourselves," Sean told them. Hector soon opened the note and read it out loud. Soon they gasped and looked at us. "No," Hector told me. "Yes," I said to him. "No," Jess said afterwards. "Yes," I told her. "Holy cow," Lisa said in disbelief. "This is juicy," Keith remarked reading the note. "And were going to use this if Francine denies," I said. "Lauren, that is clever," Hector told me with a hug. "Thanks. Now let's figure out the right angle we need to launch the word ball. Paul can we have the blue prints please," I asked. He grunted yes and handed them over to me.
"Sean, your pencil," I asked him. "Coming to help," he told me as we both got to work on a blue print for the others to see how this will all lay down. We did for a few seconds then finished. "Done," Sean told me. "Let's show em," I said as we turned to show them the plan. "Perfect job guys. This is going to be helpful," Hector told us. "Thanks," I blushed. "Okay, I'll measure the angle to figure out how we can adjust the pump," Keith said using his special skill and measured the angle.
"Okay. According to the blue print we need to adjust the pump to 45 degrees," he told us. "All right, let's do this. Shock you coming," Jess called to him. "I'm coming," he replied and we soon walked out of the diner back over to Francine's building where the pump was still. We can do this I thought to myself. "Alright Lauren, hit record," Hector told me as I got out my camcorder and began to record an update to the blog. "Hello everyone and welcome back to Reality Check with the Ruiz sisters. In just a few short moments, our big brother Hector will launch a word ball over 10 stories in the air to change his claim once and for all he is not a big liar," Jess spoke to the camera before shutting it off for the time being.
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in Sean," I told him noticing Francine standing by. "Oh guys, I hate to tell you this but you are aiming the launcher in the wrong direction," she told us. "Oh is that so? Thank you for the tip Francine, but we got this taken covered," Sean told her. "You do," she asked stunned. "We do. Keith target please," I asked him as he made a target on the side of the building. "Hector word ball," I told him as he made one.
"All on the line," he whispered. "Shock, let her rip," I called out. "With pleasure," he told us giving one big pump of air and the word ball flew out of there aiming at the target. Dramatic music played in the background as I crossed my fingers along with Sean hoping this would work. "Come on," I said as Hector mouthed it. The ball hit the target making a boing sound and soon we watched it head straight for the bill board changing liar back to fan as I got footage on the camera. "Yes, alright! We did it," we all cheered at the victory. "Take that Francine," Sean told her with a smile. "No, no, no alright fine. That's it. I will change fan back into lair like I did the first time okay," Francine said furious.
"Hold up a second, you mean you admit to changing the bill board saying Hector is a big liar? And denied it to your mother," Lisa asked as I recorded this. "Of course I did. Everyone knows "perfect" Hector never lies about anything though I love him," she said batting her eyes at my brother. Hector just grossed out and soon Francine's mother stood right near her daughter. "Mother," she gasped seeing her. "Busted," Sean sang to me and I chuckled. "Francine Antigone Carruthers, you changed the billboard and lied to me," she asked cross. "Yes," she admitted. "Why would you do that," she asked her.
"To get Hector's attention so I can date him, and you wanted me to," Francine said unsure. "Young lady I demand you apologize to billboard boy this instant," she told her. "Actually my name is Hector,-"Hector told her. "Billboard boy for now shush," Mrs. Carruthers told him. "Sorry," Hector whispered. "Francine, is there something you need to say," she asked. "I'm very sorry Hector," Francine grunted. "I forgive you," he told her with a smile.
"Now give the video camera now for I will not have you post on your vlog for two weeks and I hate being strict with you but if it the case to show you how to learn then I must," she told her daughter. "No fair mother! Besides the Electric Company said that I love him," she accused.
"Oh really? You mean this note I found saying you love Hector," I said pulling out the note. "Give me that," she demanded me and took it out of my hands. "Pleasure doing business with you Mrs. Carruthers," I nodded and so did she as they went back into the building. "You know not the punishment I expected out of Francine," Keith told us. "What were you expecting dude, grounded for a week," Sean asked. "Yeah," Keith told us. "Its fine guys, besides we have evidence. Come on, let's head back to the diner and we can post this on the page," I told them as we walked back to the diner. I can't believe this worked! We did it! Hector is not a liar anymore, man that feels good to say with relief. Jess worked on editing the thing as we sat around the chairs.
"I'm just glad things are back to normal," Hector said happily. "Us too big brother. We can't let it happen again," I told the others. "True," they agreed. "It's done," Jess said coming over with her phone after adjusting the edits of the video. "Hold up a second, you mean you admit to changing the bill board saying Hector is a big liar? And denied it to your mother," Lisa asked. "Of course I did. Everyone knows "perfect" Hector doesn't lie about anything," Francine told her. The screen switched over to the headline Prankster confesses prank. "Well folks, there you have it. Francine Carruthers confessed to doing this prank of making Hector say he is a big liar when really a big fan of the Electric Diner. These two reporters never doubted our brother," Jess and Lauren said to the camera.
"Alright you two, well done," Hector told us with a few more hugs. "Thanks Hector," I told him. "So how much do we want to bet this clears my name once and for all," Hector asked us. Soon a bunch of girls came over and started squealing over Hector. "Oh yeah, your good dude," Sean told him. Hector soon got up and started to sign autographs for the girls. "Well, all's well that ends well Sean," I told him looking at my brother having fun. "You bet Lauren. You bet," he told me as well. I just smiled and looked at my brother.
