I do not own Rocket Power
"What's your damage Rocket Girl?" Sam exclaimed, as they descended from the Shore Shack and down to the board walk. "I wasn't even done eating my fries yet and you know how my stomach begins to act up when I haven't consumed an adequate amount of nutrients and¾"
"Sammy"
"Huh?" he discontinued his rant after noticing the disgruntled expression that appeared onto Reggie's face.
"Am I a bad friend if I tell something that another friend made me promise to secrecy?" She was compelled to just out and tell Sam about what Sherry had told her in the Shack but she wanted to make sure she wouldn't be confined to best friend jail for such betrayal.
"Well it depends on the secret…Reg is something going on with you? If anything bad is going on an adult should be notified? Is it Otto or Twister? I knew they would start getting into something illegal soon enough. If it was curiosity or peer pressure, my mom always told me¾"
"Sammy chill!" Reggie couldn't help but smile at the worry that was etching its way across his face. She loved Sam dearly, but sometimes she wondered if he knew just how much he acted like his mother.
"It's just about who Sherry likes." her frown taking its place on her face again.
"Oh, well why didn't you just say so? If you want to talk about it then go ahead. You know you can trust me to keep this between just the two of us." he pondered. His curiosity was getting a slight head start on his common sense. His brain knew full well that she should not be telling him this secret.
She took a deep breath trying to come up with the right words. But when she began to speak, everything came out rushed and jumbled, leaving a very confused Sammy.
"Reggie your not making any amount of sense."
"Sherry likes Twister!" she blurted out, making that her second outburst in one day.
"Wow! Really?"
She lowered her head and answered him with a sullen nod.
"That's certainly random but she did tell you about it. I don't get why it left you so tweaked."
She through her hands in the air. "I don't know Sam!" she yelled, twirling around and making her way over to a nearby bench, ignoring the few stares she received, and sitting down in a huff.
"Reg?" Sam made his way over to her.
"He's Twister" she exclaimed
"Yea that would make me really mad as well." He couldn't quite comprehend where she was taking this.
"She's Sherry." Stating it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't get it"
"He is Twist-er, and she is Sher-ry!" she repeated, getting a little aggravated now.
"I think we've already established this Reg!" frustration getting the better of Sam.
"She is my best friend, and Twister is Otto's."
"OH! You don't want your friend dating one of Otto's friend's because your afraid Sherry and Twister would leave you guys to go mack in a room or corner or something?"
"You could've worded it a little differently , but yea. Sounds right. It would be way to weird and can you even picture those too together. It actually makes my stomach sort of hurt to just think about it."
"Are you sure that's the only thing bothering you Reg?"
"Yes! What else would be bothering me?" she answered, a little to quickly he noticed.
"Never mind." He would get back to that question at another point in time. "Reg, I really don't think you should fret it. I mean it's not like their actually dating yet. Or ever" he quickly added, seeing her cringe slightly at yet. "I have never seen Twister show any kind of affection towards Sherry, other then a friendly hug once or twice."
She nodded her head and gave the boy a hug. "Thanks Sam, you always know what to say."
They broke the embrace and noticed Otto and Twister making their way towards them. They stood up and met them half way up the boardwalk.
"Hey Rocket Girl, what was all that stuff in the Shack about?" Twister asked her, trying hard to ignore the jealousy that arose at seeing Sam and Reggie hugging. He didn't like it that they had been gone for so long.
Reggie didn't even try to fight the blush. "It was nothing you guys. I'm feeling a lot better now thanks to Sam."
"Great!" Twister snapped. He shook his head. "I-I mean that's awesome! Whose up for some surfing?" he saved.
"Yeah Twist, I'm down with that!" Otto exclaimed. This time he was the one who noticed his friend's strange behavior, but like everyone else he just ignored it.
While Otto looked away, Twister was not having such an easy time of doing that. Where were these feelings coming from? Could he actually be jealous of Sam. No, he thought, Reggie and Sam are just friends. I mean Reggie and me are just friends. He was now very confused and had a slight headache. I have got to stop thinking so hard before my brain goes into meltdown mode, he thought before he turned back towards his friends, realizing they had begun to leave without him.
