Chapter Three: All Alone In the Moonlight
"Hey- has anyone seen Summer?" Dewey called. Even though he was fifty something, he still had his Fight-the-Man spirit. That was something that would never die, and Leonard knew that. The chatter paused as a sick realization came over them. Night had already fallen. Where was Summer? As sad as it was, Leonard missed being bossed around by Summer Hathway. He was training to become a police officer- he should be the one giving orders. He had been looking forward to seeing what Summer was up to. Why hadn't she come? "She was there when you called her, right Dewey?" Zack called from by the couch, where he had been talking to Eleni and Michelle- both super model material. Figures Zack is the one most anxious to get caught up with Summer... "Yeah, man. I told her the right date and time- I know I did. Hey- so ironic that all the rest of you's are on time and Summer's late!" Dewey chortled, gaining chuckles from the rest of the crowd. "How much says that she's completely panicking about being late when she gets here?" Leonard told the nearest person as soon as everyone went back to talking, who happened to be Frankie. "I'll give you ten bucks!" He replied. Leonard smiled. Ugh... so many memories were coming back with every moment. He couldn't believe how much everyone had evolved. "That's okay. I still owe you ten bucks from that time I dared you to pour ice water on Eleni back in the 8th grade." He told Frankie, shaking his head. Tap, tap, tap... Leonard's ears pricked at the small sound coming from the door. "I'll get it!" Alicia pushed her way to the doorway. When she opened it, everyone froze faster than with liquid nitrogen. Gasps erupted from the group. Then silence as everybody stared at the visitor in the doorway. "Um, hey everyone?" Summer Hathway looked around embarrassed. Only it wasn't Summer Hathway. There was no way that that woman with the short, spiky hair that had blue and purple streaks running through it, nose ring, tattered jeans, and black, sleeveless shirt could be Summer. Only it was. "S-Summer?!" He could hear Katie gawk from behind him. "Wow- what a bunch of old farts." Summer smiled, before walking in, closing the door behind her. Alicia stood still petrified. "Tomika! Girl, you look fab! Zack- haircut in need? Dewey- gray hairs already! We weren't that bad, were we?" She walked around the silent room. She stood still, tapping her feet like she used to when she would get impatient. "Okay- is anything happening or are we just gonna stand there and stare at me?" She asked, annoyed, finally. "It-it's great to see you, Summer." Marta spoke up before walking over to Summer, giving her a small hug. A sigh of relief seemed to waver over the room when she did so. Light conversation began to start up, but mostly everyone was looking at Summer, including Leonard. He could feel someone come up behind him, and Zack was soon by his side. "Lenny, man. Is it just me or did Summer get bitten by the Punk Bug?" He asked monotone, staring as a few of the others walked up to Summer and began chatting as though nothing had changed. "I think she got bitten by something worse than that." Marco, who had also come up to them, stated. Just then, Summer brushed past them in a trot and made her way to the door. "Be right back!" She called before rushing out. Through the window, they could see her standing on the sidewalk, fooling with a lighter. She was the only one who had drastically changed in both ways; mentally and physically. And there she stood, Leonard could see memories were coming back to her, too, all alone in the moonlight.
