Sheen jumped out of the Candy Bar and hid behind a telephone pole. He quickly peeked his head out to see if he could find Nick nearby. Slightly dismayed that he couldn't immediately find him, he began to slowly walk down the street. His disappointment quickly faded, however, as he realized exactly where he could find Nick.

Twenty minutes later, Sheen burst out of the library. "Man, I was almost certain about that one," he mumbled while stuffing his hands in his pockets and kicking a rock. "Might as well head home," he said to himself while continuing down the street.

"Move it Shine!" Nick desperately shouted while swerving his skateboard out of the way of Sheen.

"It's Sheen!" he shouted back. After a moment, Sheen realized that he had just found his target. He looked up and saw with despair that Nick was nearly out of sight. He realized that he would never be able to follow him on foot.

"Hey, where's the park?" a kid of about nine asked Sheen. He was holding a skateboard in one hand and a helmet in the other. "There's a tournament in half an hour and I've got to make it."

Sheen stared at the kid for a moment. His eyes darted between the skateboard and the kid's disturbed face.

"Dude, you alright?" the kid asked while taking a step back.

Sheen ripped the skateboard from the kid's hands and hopped onto it. He kicked off and started flying down the street. "Uh oh," he nervously shouted as he slammed into a trash can.

"Wait!" the kid desperately shouted while running after Sheen. "Safety first, you jerk!" he screamed while chucking the helmet at Sheen, which hit him hard in the head.

Sheen flew down the street, the helmet now strapped around his head. "Move it!" he shouted at the various people walking along the sidewalk.

"Watch it!" Sam shouted as Sheen narrowly avoided passing him as he flew by the Candy Bar.

"I don't know how to stop!" Sheen shot back. Unfortunately, turning around while on a skateboard is not such a good idea. He crashed into Nick, who was talking to some girl from his class. They landed hard on the ground, with Sheen lying on top of Nick.

"What," Nick asked while shoving Sheen off of him, "are you doing?"

Sheen quickly jumped off of the boy hopped back on his skateboard. He turned to the girl and eyed her for a moment. He extended his thumb and pinky finger and held it up to his ear and mouth. "Call me," he mouthed. He then kicked off and began coasting down the street. An extremely mad Nick was now chasing after him.

Sheen, not having learned his lesson, risked a look behind him. "Wow, I'm beating Nick!" he shouted with glee. The gap between him and Nick was slowly widening. He was still smiling widely when he turned back around and realized he was heading down the biggest hill in the city.

"Holy crap!" he shouted while ducking just as a tree branch appeared in front of his head. He carefully straightened himself up. "Wow, you don't usually see a branch in the middle of a sidewa..." he started to say to himself before getting hit in the face with another tree branch.

"Darn stupid kids!" he shouted at the tree while collapsing onto his skateboard. He was now soaring down the hill with incredible speed while laying with his back on the skateboard. Nick watched with amusement while ducking underneath the branches.

Sheen closed his eyes and gathered what was left of his courage. With unbelievable skill, he managed to strand up and regain his composure without crashing. He opened his eyes quickly, but his expression changed to one of horror as he realized what was about to happen. "Aw COME ON!" he angrily screamed.

Sheen slammed smack-dab into Butch, who was grabbing Carl by the collar. "Sheen?" Carl asked while he and some little kid ran over.

Sheen, not having time to worry about his friend at the moment, jumped to his feet and grabbed the skateboard. He headed off on foot towards the park, Nick not far behind.

As Sheen ran as fast as he could into the skating area of the park, he braced himself up against a wall as Nick came rolling in. "Got ya now, you little freak!" Nick shouted while jumping off of his board and menacingly advancing towards Sheen. Sheen turned towards the wall and covered his head with his arms.

"And it looks like contestant number five has finally shown up! Everyone get ready to see Nick Dean skate!" a voice came from over a loudspeaker.

"Huh?" Nick and Sheen asked while spinning around. They realized that the skating tournament was underway.

Nick glared angrily at Sheen. "We'll finish this later," he said while shoving his finger at Sheen's face. He grabbed his skateboard and climbed to the top of the half-pipe.

Sheen, breathing a huge sigh of relief, took a few steps forward. He watched with interest as Nick performed various tricks. He impatiently tapped his foot. He would have to wait until Nick was done to examine Nick's backpack. It was lying near the announcer's booth, in plain sight of everyone.

"Wonderful job!" the announcer shouted into his microphone as Nick stepped off of the ramp. Looking over at Sheen waiting by the ramp and clutching his skateboard, he motioned for Nick to walk over. "Is that guy in the tournament?"

Nick looked over at Sheen and began laughing, but immediately put on a straight face. "Oh yes. His name's Shine Estavaz. Call him up here."

The announcer nodded. "Next up in the third annual skating tournament is skater Shine Estavez!"

Sheen's head shout up. "It's Sheen!" He paused for a moment. "And I'm up for what?" he shouted. He looked over at the booth and saw Nick smiling at him.

Sheen gulped and walked over to the announcer and Nick. He then stared up at the menacing half-pipe. "You, uh, want me to ride on that?"

Nick nodded. "Break a leg," he said with a grin while smacking Sheen hard across the back.

Sheen turned around and stared at the announcer. He then glanced down at his skateboard. His eyes quickly darted between the two before he chucked the skateboard at the announcer, grabbed Nick's backpack, and ran away like hell.
