Continuing now, with a bit of a flashback of 'The High Life'! Anyway, enjoy!

At Phoebe's house, Nadine, Phoebe and I were busy setting up the boat as I nodded, putting a flag up on the mast. "There we go... all good and new."

"Nice." Phoebe said as she attached another piece of the boat in, smiling.

"And now, for the final touch..." Nadine said as she put down some cannons with tape on them. "Just for decoration. A good old pirate ship can't be complete without cannons."

"And now, the sails..." I said as I was about to reach for them.

"Hold up, Rhonda. We still need to wait for the glue to dry up." Phoebe said as she stopped me from reaching the piece of cloth. "Let's take a break for a moment before we get ourselves back on track."

"All right." I said as I turned to see our almost finished boat project. "I think our little pirate ship is ready for sail!"

"Indeed." Phoebe smiled as she giggled. "Well, while we wait, why don't we go out and walk around until the glue settles?"

"Sounds good to me, Phoebe." Nadine and I nodded as Phoebe lifted her sleeve and looked at her watch... which I noticed was a Wacko watch.

I couldn't help but ask. "Are you still wearing the Wacko watch that Gerald sold?"

"Yeah..." Phoebe smiled. "I think the secret to having a Wacko watch is to make sure you put a little tape on the batteries so they don't run out after two months..."

"What?" Nadine said in confusion as we were walking out.

"Oh yeah, you were on vacation at the time, but last summer, during the month of August, almost before school started, Gerald got himself a job as a salesman." I explained to Rhonda as we went out.

"At age eight... er, nine?" Nadine asked in shock.

"He was hoping for a new set of roller skates, from what Arnold told me." I said as we went out. "Anyway, after getting permission from his dad to do the business with Wacko Industries, Gerald managed to convince everyone in the neighborhood to buy the watches... which worked surprisingly well. I had one myself. But about a month or so after, they quit working, so everyone threw their Wacko watches away..." I turned to Phoebe. "...except for Phoebe, who surprisingly knows how to fix them."

Phoebe gave a slight giggle at that as we were walking, I started to pass by Sheena.

"Hey, Rhonda. Are you wearing glasses? Those really bring out your eyes!" Sheena smiled.

"Thanks, Sheena." I gave a confident smile. "Yeah, I'm a little short-sighted, but the glasses are fashionable."

"Well, you look great!" Sheena smiled as she walked along her way.

I gave a little smile to the two. "I am so glad about the positive reception on my new glasses so far!"

"Uh, the Wacko watches?" Nadine asked.

"Oh, right." I said, keeping focus. "Anyway, Gerald started to work for the Wacko Industries, finding a way to sell watches every week, but the problem was after a new shipment came, there would literally be no one around to buy the watches, since everyone already owned one. And he spent all the money he had on a new phone line and everything... but the roller skates he wanted, which was what he originally was doing this for."

"How did Gerald get out of it?" Nadine asked.

"Well, thanks to Arnold... Gerald managed to manipulate the boss of Wacko Industries to buy the VERY watches he was shipping and Gerald decided to quit the business..." I said. "Though it wasn't without much consequence."

"What happened?" Nadine asked.

"Well, his dad found out about the whole thing a couple weeks later, but by then, it was already too late for Gerald to be punished... but he did know about the other phone line and fax machine before then, so Gerald decided to disconnect with everything he had in his former salesman life. And thus ended Gerald's slight business as a salesman." I explained as we passed by Eugene.

"Oh Rhonda! Those are great glasses!" Eugene said. "New?"

"I guess you can say that." I smiled. "Think they bring out my eyes?"

"You look great in them!" Eugene smiled. "But that's probably the geek talking..."

"Nerd." Phoebe sighed under her breath.

"See you around." Eugene said as he walked by us.

"I'm freaking loving these things!" I said in excitement. "I don't know if I'll ask for contacts after this, but this is going good."

"I told you." Phoebe smiled. "Sure, they'll be some of those cooler kids who will probably make fun of you for these glasses, but come on, you are better than them!"

"Yeah, those snob girls we always meet on the bus..." I sighed, but smiled, turning to Nadine and Phoebe. "But to me, I AM with the cool kids. Even if I do call you a nerd, Phoebe."

"Thank you for using the correct term, Rhonda." Phoebe smiled as we were getting near the park.

"Anybody up for an ice cream?" Nadine asked as we saw the Jolly Olly ice cream truck passing by.

Me and Phoebe smiled as we nodded.

As we were enjoying some ice cream, we were sitting down at a park bench as we saw the river. As Nadine was munching on some sea-salt ice cream, she turned to us. "You know girls, I'm a little jealous of you two."

"How's that?" Phoebe asked as I munched on my ice cream bar, careful to take slow bites.

"Well... the fact that you two now have glasses... I'm kinda feeling left out of the loop sometime. I wish I had a problem with my eyes so that I could have glasses..." Nadine said.

"I'm sure you can become the Glasses Trio." I said as Phoebe ate her ice cream. "I mean, you own sunglasses, don't you?"

Nadine paused. "I see your point... I always..."

Nadine then pulled out her pair of sunglasses and put them on as she held a pose. "...have a spare."

Me and Phoebe laughed as Nadine laughed too, mostly at the small joke, even if it didn't make sense, we still laughed. I assured Nadine, "Don't worry about the trio, Nadine. Just because me and Phoebe have glasses, doesn't mean you'll always need a pair. Besides, unless you need those sunglasses, you don't have to wear glasses to be in our group."

"Awesome!" Nadine smiled as we looked up to see Arnold and Gerald walking by, coming near Stinky and Sid, Stinky holding a boat.

"Hmmm... I wonder what's up with them today." I said as I finished up my ice cream.

"Curiosity does indeed pique the mind." Phoebe said as she threw her ice cream stick into the trash. "Want to check it out, Nadine?"

"Nothing better to do." Nadine shrugged as we decided to go near Arnold and his friends to see what was up.
