A few hours later, the plane arrived in Stoneybrook.
"Who was due to pick us up?" asked Dawn.
"We had a limo, remember?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that," said Kayla as we giggled.
We went to get our suitcases and met the limo driver, who was waiting for us. It was cool to have a limo driver to bring everyone home.
"It was hard to believe two weeks have been flown by when we're having fun," said Kristy.
"I know," I said.
"I think this is my favorite birthday gift," said Kayla.
"Mine, too," said Kaylee.
The limo driver brought all of us home. We all thanked them. When the driver brought me and Dawn off, the Willis got out with us, which made sense since they live three houses down from us.
"I had a fun time," said Kayla.
"Me, too," said Kaylee.
"I wonder if we can be pen pals and write them to Happy Days group. In fact, we all should a write thank letter for having us there for two weeks," I said.
"That's a wonderful idea," said Dawn.
"Yeah," said Kaylee.
"Since you were the one who came up with the idea, you could do that," said Kayla.
"That's if we all do this together," I said.
"Deal," said Dawn.
"We can do it during the club on Monday," I said.
"Okay," said Dawn.
Then, we went in our houses.
"It would be cool to thank them to make Kayla's wish come true," said Dawn.
"I agree," I said.
On Monday, at school, I told them about my idea.
"I like the idea of that," said Stacey.
"Me, too," said Claudia.
"We'll do it this afternoon during the club meeting," I said.
"Okay, sounds good," said Shannon.
"I think Cokie should write an apology letter for lying," said Dawn.
"Imagine if she ever did that?" asked Claudia.
"I doubt it. Perhaps Dad can tell Mrs. Mason to make Cokie doing that," I said.
"Good idea," agreed Meredith. "That would teach her not to lie ever again."
After school, I called Dad to have Mrs. Mason to force Cokie write an apology letter to Happy Days for lying. He agreed with me on that. At the meeting, I wrote a long letter to thank them for a fun two weeks trip and that Kayla loved it as her favorite trip. This is one trip she'll never forget. Then, we all signed our names. Kayla and Kaylee were there to sign their names.
"I'll just need Shannon, Marci, and Logan to sign their names before I could mail the letter to them," I said.
"That's a great idea," said Kristy.
Later, we were at the diner, the other three signed their names from the letter.
"Now, this letter is all set to go," I said. "Dad agreed with me to have Cokie to be forced to write that apology letter."
"I could picture her making a face if she was forced. I heard she got grounded for a month for lying, especially to her mom," said Marci.
"Good. That would teach her a lesson," I said.
After dinner, back at home, Dad told me Mrs. Mason agreed with me, too.
"Is she going to force Cokie to do so?" I asked.
"Yes, she'll add if she doesn't, she'll remained being punished until then," said Dad.
"Good," I said. "We knew she was lying all that time. She thought it was a mistake when Fonzie told her she wasn't on the winner's list."
"And, Mrs. Mason isn't trusting Cokie to be home alone when she goes on any more trips for awhile," said Dad.
The next day, I mailed the letter on the way to school. Two days later, they wrote back to us! They were delighted to have us and wants us to be pen pals. Plus, I saw the package.
"I know what that is," I said as I went inside.
When I opened it, it was the scrapbook we made for the Willis girls. I went over.
"What's going on?" asked Kayla.
"I got a surprise to give both of you," I said as I gave her the scrapbook.
"No way! You did it for us?" asked Kaylee.
"Yes, Jenny and I talked about that. She thought it would be a great way for you to remember the trip," I said.
"Thank you so far. You're the best," said Kayla as she hugged me excitedly.
Kaylee joined in as a group hug.
That night, I called Ralph to make sure Cokie wrote a letter to apologize for lying.
"My dad was having Mrs. Mason forcing Cokie to do that," I said.
"We haven't gotten it yet though," said Ralph.
"Wow," I said. "I'm not surprised."
"We'll let you know if we got it," said Ralph.
"Okay, good idea," I said.
Five days later, he called to tell me Cokie did wrote that letter after all.
"Good. She'll remember not to do it next time," I said.
Cokie still can't be trusted to be stay home alone right now, so she was forced to be with her grandmother for the time being while her mom is working or on a business trip.
I didn't care since we still had a great time. Kayla and Kaylee wanted to be pen pals with the Happy Days, too. I told them that's what they wanted and they were glad about it.
The end.
