Meanwhile...

"We're not together, we're not together!" Flem cried as he held Chicken.

"Uh... There, there..." Chicken did his best to comfort his friend.

"I should've known she'd be too good to be true!" Flem kept crying.

"Can someone help?" Chicken looked to his other friends for back-up.

"Man, you should forget about Veronica." Lightning suggested.

This made Flem cry even harder.

"Not helping, Lightning... That's the exact opposite of helping!" Chicken narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, it's okay, Flem, there's other birds in the sea." Lightning shrugged.

Scott handed Flem another tissue. Flem took it and blew his nose, crying grossly.


"I'm sorry, Flem..." a familiar girl around Earl's age appeared.

"Daisy Belle, what're you doing here?" Earl asked his girlfriend.

"Being mad at who's my so-called best friend." Daisy Belle frowned.

"It's awful," Flem cried more hard than ever. "Just awful!"

"I'm very sorry about that, Flem, I thought Veronica would've known better," Daisy Belle soothed. "After all, she became my friend..."

"I miss her so much already!" Flem bawled.

"I wish there was something I could do..." Daisy Belle sighed. "All we can do is hope that this story has a happy ending."

"What're you doing here anyway, Daisy?" Earl asked.

"My grandpa's visiting..." Daisy Belle shuddered.

"Who's your grandpa?" Earl asked.

"I'd rather not say," Daisy Belle shook her head. "Whenever he comes over, we all have to take a family bath together, it's so painfully awkward!"

"It's that bad, huh?" Scott asked.

"Where do you think my parents get it?" Daisy Belle pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head in dismissal.

"I miss her..." Flem sniffled.

"You mean Veronica?" Lightning asked.

Flem, then as if on cue, cried hard yet again.

Daisy Belle smacked the back of Lightning's head.

"Thanks, Daisy Belle." Chicken told her.

"And I thought Mom had problems..." Daisy Belle sighed.

"Ow! What did I do?" Lightning glanced before he had an idea. "Oh, the V word is taboo, isn't it?"

"Ya think!?" Scott glared to him.

"Don't worry, Flem, it's going to be okay..." Daisy Belle soothed.

"Yeah, don't worry." Chicken added.

"Daisy Belle, has Veronica always been like this?" Flem asked.

"Ever since her parents divorced and her mother took her custody, yes," Daisy Belle sighed. "Her mother then met a rich guy with a son a little bit older than her and they've both been spoiled. Ronnie always was my friend before her parents' divorce, but after her mother married that rich dude, it made her at least a bit popular which had her meet Tad, Chad, and Trixie Tang. After they all became friends, Ronnie became snooty and popular, nearly forgetting all about me, but those popular kids just belittle her since she's not as popular due to not being born from a rich family or raised in one by birth. Only her step-brother's popular."

"Who's her step-brother?" Scott asked.

"You're never gonna believe this, but Dash Baxter." Daisy Belle revealed.

"Dash Baxter?" the boys asked in surprise.

"I never met Veronica's step-family." Flem added.

"They usually go to Dash's ball games or just do anything sports related like guys..." Daisy Belle shrugged it off. "Veronica and her mother mostly just shop or act like divas... When I first met Ronnie, she was just as poor as me and low middle class, but then her mom got married to Mr. Baxter and I rarely see her anymore... I feel like she's ashamed to have me as a friend since my family's not rich."

"Gosh, Daisy, that's awful!" Earl hugged his girlfriend. "And I thought you had trouble when you were worried to introduce me to your parents!"

"Sorry about that, Earl, dear," Daisy Belle smiled apologetically. "But my parents are insane and I was just worried they would hurt you or make you feel really uncomfortable... I usually try to pretend my parents are someone else so nothing happens."

"Man, you teenage girls have issues..." Chicken muttered. "Uh, no offense."

"Eh, it's okay..." Daisy Belle shrugged again. "Teenage girls are really the worst monsters there are. At least I'm not Katie Kaboom or anything though."

"What's her problem anyway?" Lightning asked. "She's always yelling at her family..."

"I really do not know..." Daisy Belle sighed. "It's like she's on her cycle 24/7 or somethin'."

"Cycle?" the boys asked.

"It's a girl thing," Daisy Belle said. "You really don't wanna know."

"Aw, come on, I spent the night in the girls' bathroom once, how bad could it be?" Chicken smiled easily with a small shrug.

Daisy Belle sighed. "Okay, I warned you... Okay, so once a month, a woman's body goes through what's called a menstrual cycle..."


*One Painful Talk Later...*

"And that's what a cycle for girls is..." Daisy Belle then concluded.

Chicken, Scott, Lightning, Flem, and Earl screamed in agony and horror.

"Yeah, I knew that was gonna happen..." Daisy Belle narrowed her eyes. "At least my brothers are only babies and by the time Mom has the talk with them, I'll be all grown up and moved out with my own kids to worry about."

"I still miss Veronica..." Flem sighed.

"I heard Celebrity Starr wants to go out with you." Daisy Belle said.

"Yeah, but I turned her down..." Flem pouted. "Just the thought of a gorgeous and beautiful girl wanting to go out with a geek like me only makes me think of Veronica..."

"Hopefully she'll come to apologize soon." Daisy Belle comforted the best that she could.

"I'm right here..." a familiar voice said.

The others turned to see the blonde girl herself.

Veronica walked over and came to her ex-boyfriend's side. "Flem, I am so sorry for what I did! I shouldn't have done that... I was just thinking of myself... I don't even like being a cheerleader!" she then gestured to her sweater, skirt, and boots. "I just liked the outfit and plus, Dash is a quarterback, so I wanted to make something of myself to impress my mom and step-dad!"

"It's okay, Veronica..." Flem felt touched that she apologized. "Y'all still wanna meet your friends?"

Veronica thought about it a moment. "What friends? You're all right here."

Veronica and Flem then shared a hug.

"Aww!" the boys and Daisy Belle awed.


However, a boy with slicked up blonde hair that was nearly spiky with green eyes, a white suit, black pants and shoes, with a red bow tie was in the corner and then leaned back.

"So, that blonde minx is going out with a geek, is she?" the rich boy smiled evilly. "Ooh, I cannot wait to report this to Chad and Tad right away!" he then ran off with an evil and eager giggle.
