Disclaimer : I don't know the name of the G & S so I made up my own name for him. So yeah. I also don't own G & S. God help me I'm only 15.

Ch19

Alanna walked off the platform, board under her arm as people cheered and she stood next to Jay as Stacy began his run. Jay patted Alanna on the back, and Alanna smiled. Stacy was smooth with his turns and slides. Tony stood next to Alanna as she looked at him. He had fire in his eyes at he watched Stacy, and all the attention he was receiving. He looked at the platform and then looked up on the lighthouse there was a ledge. Keeping a serious face, Alanna felt him brush her as he walked away. She turned to see where he was going but he disappeared into the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Jay asked tapping Alanna's shoulder as Stacy finished his run.

"LOOK UP THERE!" the two heard someone yell pointing up towards the lighthouse. Alanna, Jay and Stacy turned to look where Tony was as he peered over the edge, got on his board, and did an acid drop onto the platform. He came running back up, and standing at the top of the platform, did a Ted Nugent hair flip, and all the girls just swarmed him.

Jay did an impression Tony that made Alanna and Stacy laugh as they all shook their heads and walked away.

Alanna was stopped by a group of little boys.

"Guys, it's her," one of them said, and Alanna looked up to Stacy and Jay, who just raised their eyebrows, "Can we have your autograph?"

"Yeah, sure dude," she said taking the little kid's board that he held out to her. He handed her a permanent marker, and she quickly signed her name on the kid's board.

"Me too!" three other kids yelled, and she proceeded to sign. She saw Jay and Stacy walk away and she was just about to catch up with when a middle aged man wearing a bright yellow t-shirt with the words 'G & S' stamped on it in red stopped her.

"Michael Stradford," he immediately said holding out his hand, a little off guard, Alanna shook his hand.

"Alanna O-" she began to introduce herself.

"Oh I know. I've seen you before. I've got to say you're gonna be the greatest skater in the world someday, fact is, I think you are the greatest," he said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks man, but I'm not buying it," she said and turned to look for Jay and Stacy.

"Well, just in case, here's my card. You could be famous Alanna, you should start believing it," he said handing her a card. She looked at it, and began to walk away, "I'll be waiting for your call."

She turned to look at him, and then turned back around to see Jay skating around. She walked up to him.

"Hey," she said holding her board under her arm as Jay balanced on his.

"Hey, what was that about man?" he asked jolting his head in the direction of the 'G & S' guy who was now talking to Stacy. Alanna just pulled out the business card, and Jay looked at it and laughed.

"Yeah, I know," she said and put her board down, and skated off around the booths, and people.

Jay watched her skate away, and turned around to be faced by the same 'G & S' guy.

"Michael Stradford," he said holding out his hand, and plastering on a fake smile...

...Alanna sat on the edge of the bridge, looking out to the water. She looked over the her left, and saw Tony signing some girl's thigh. She shook her head.

Some things never change.

She looked out onto the water of under the bridge. It was calm, but had a little ripple here and there.

She got up, and grabbed her board, and decided to go find Skip, and see what time they were leaving.

She walked passed the booth for 'Lanson', 'G & S' where Michael gave her a wink, 'Sims' and 'Bahne', and next to all those booths, there was Skip. Sitting on a little chair, with the bag that held the skateboards he was selling. Apparently he scribbled 'Zephyr' on the bag to make him seem professional. It must've been working because there was a long line of people waiting to buy a board.

"Hey Skip," Alanna said putting her board down and leaning against the railing.

"Now kid go get $10 more bucks, and you can get the board, and she'll sign it," Skip said to the little boy who's eyes lit up when Skip said Alanna would sign it, and he ran off.

Alanna laughed, and shook her head crossing her arms over her chest.

"What time we high tailing it out of here Skip?" she asked sighing .

"After I get through this line," Skip said referring to the large line of people that was still growing.

"Well, I'll wait for the little boy but after that I'm gonna walk around, kay," Alanna said as the little boy came running back.

"Right, sure," Skip said as the little boy picked a blue board, Alanna signed it.

"Can I have a hug?" the little boy asked, and Alanna turned to Skip. He raised his eyebrows.

"Sure," Alanna bent down and gave the little boy a hug.

"Thank you," he said and ran off.

"Such a good citizen!" Jay said stopping in front of her.

"Shut up Jayboy," she said and skating the opposite way. He followed after her smiling.
