It was surprising how fast the summer went by for the ham-humans. There were only 2 weeks of summer left before they head back. To celebrate before school begins, they all decided to hold a party in the new improved, big sized, clubhouse.
"Party everyone!" Stan shouted out as he entered the clubhouse.
The clubhouse was full of music and conversations going on. Everyone surrounded Cappy to congratulate him and took this chance to make up for the time they left his graduation ceremony.
"You're going to be with the cool group." Stan congratulated him.
Cappy laughed nervously as Sandy sighed and said,
"Stan, we are not the cool group; we're like everyone else."
"Sure thing, sis. Whatever you say." Stan said dancing around to the music with his maracas.
"Never mind him, Cappy. We're just glad you could join us in High School." Pashmina smiled.
Bijou nodded," We'll be looking forward to it."
"Totally!" Sandy added.
"Huh…uh….thanks…" Cappy was speechless.
Boss grabbed Cappy out of all the attention and gave him his own advice, "Don't let them scare you, and don't be nervous."
"They're not scaring me, Boss." Cappy corrected him.
"Well, just trust me on this: You'll do fine in High School."
"Like you, Boss?" Cappy asked.
Boss laughed proudly, "Yeah, like me. Just be careful, the crowd in High School is very influencing and it's not in a good way, you hear me? Keep focus on your grades and nothing else."
Cappy nodded, "Okay, Boss."
Penelope watched everyone giving Cappy pointers while she's sitting on the chair against the round table sipping on some juice on a cup. She was the only one not looking forward to this year in school.
"Why is everyone so happy for Cappy anyways?" Penelope stared at them then confessed to herself, "Oh, what am I saying? I should be happy for him too, but I cant because he's leaving me and joining the others." She sighed as she continued to drink.
Snoozer, who was a meter away from her to the right, woke up for a few minute to help a friend, "If you love them a lot, you have to learn to let them go."
Penelope stared at Snoozer for a while, "I guess, he's right… Cappy can't always be with me." Penelope then realized something and smiled, "Our friendship is too strong to break and we'll still keep in contact… I hope."
At that point Cappy came and sat next to Penelope.
"Hey. Everything okay?" Cappy asked.
Penelope nodded, "Everything is fine."
Cappy was relieved, "Okay good because you didn't seem like yourself sitting alone."
Penelope blushed knowing he was right, "Oh, um…well."
"No need to explain. I was just worried."
Penelope smiled with her face really red and then remembered that she had something to ask him. "Cappy… we'll still be close friends even after you go to High School, right?"
"You bet!" Cappy replied loudly and believingly and they both started to laugh out of nowhere.
For the whole day, after Penelope was finally cleared in her mind from her worries, she joined the others with Cappy and had fun. They all partied from day until late at night. After the party, they all cleaned up the clubhouse then went home to try and get some sleep.
"Bye Penelope." Cappy waved to Penelope who was way a head of him as she turned back to notice he was waving.
Penelope smiled in the distance, "Bye Cappy!" She shouted.
