Sam walked down the pier with his skateboard held firmly against his waste, he constantly had tears forming in his eyes. He could not believe that Otto said such things to him, especially even going as far as to calling him a four eyed fat dork, and to these horrible things Twister agreed with every one of them. Usually Sam was the kind of kid to forgive insults or bad comments on his appearance, but after what happened today, Sammy Dullard now wanted nothing to do with either Otto, Reggie, or Twister.
"They think I'm a wimp." Sam snapped to himself as he was approaching Mad Town Skate Park which was directly ahead. "They think I am nothing more than their squid, their pawn. Well I'll show them." Sam snapped grabbing his Skate board into his hand and eyeing the half pipe at Mad Town which was just ahead.
With a look of determination, Sam stomped towards the half pipe and climbed the steps to the top, peering over the edge. "Today I will make history," Sam stated with confidence as he snatched his glasses from his face. "History of the first blind kid to skate a dangerous half pipe." He than tosses his glasses out of sight, "Farewell Squid, hello ROGUE SAM!" He cried out into the sky with fists held high.
"And it will start today, by me shredding the Half Pipe." Sam grinned with a mischievous look as he readied himself to lung down the half pipe, unaware that Reggie had found his glasses and was quickly making her way into the skate park.
"SAM NO!" Reggie cried as she raced up the stairs and and lunged at Sam only for Sam to drop down the half pipe first, before she could reach him. Rolling at fast speed down the half pipe with pour vision and no glasses, Sam leaps up on the other side of the half pipe but ends up accidently catapulting himself too far out and landing directly into the skating bowl.
"SAM!" Reggie cried as she raced back down the half pipe and towards the skating bowl only to find him sitting up, he appeared to have cared less about the pain as he was looking quite annoyed from that one wipe out that he had done.
"Sam are you okay?!" Reggie called out from the top of the skater bowl while looking down at him desperately for an answer, only for Sam to both ignore and not even respond to her worries. "Sam can you hear me?!" Reggie yelled once again, only to once again receive no response, instead Sam just got up and looked into the direction of Reggie not even knowing if he was looking at her due to him not having his glasses and his pour eye sight.
He glared at what he thought looked like Reggie which made her a bit worried and frightened "The name is Rogue Sam to you Rocket!" Barked Sam as this sudden outburst from him had completely shocked Reggie, he had never snapped at her that way before.
The sky soon started to turn darkish grey as a small storm was forming overhead. It was later discovered before on the news that these were minor opening showers that would hit Ocean Shores until the main storm arrives days later.
Thunder boombed over head in the background behind Reggie as Sam smirked before looking up at the sky in order to feel the drops of rain which not long after began falling from the sky.
"Ahhhh Rain skating, now this is perfect." Sam grinned as he stomped on his skate board sending it flipping up into the air and catching it in mid air. He took one last look at the kid who he had thought was Reggie despite his poor vision.
"Don't you've got some place to be Rocket Chick?" Those were Sam's only words before he tossed the skateboard back to the ground and rolled into the Tunnel which led to the other side of the skating bowl.
"I've gotta stop him!" Reggie said with even more shock and concern in her voice, as she grabbed her skateboard and leaped into the skaters bowl after her friend, completely ignoring the pounding rains above.
Sam quickly turned around and noticed Reggie chasing up from behind, more annoyed than ever Sam pressed his foot down several times against the ground adding more and power into trying to escape Reggie. "Go away!" He snapped as he exited the tunnel and up the other side of the Skaters bowl flying out of it.
"Sam Wait!" Reggie called back as she leaped into the air with her skate board and landed outside the Skaters bowl too, where she saw Sam making haste towards the half pipe. As quickly as she can she moved with her skateboard closely behind. "Sam! Don't take what my brother said too literally, he didn't mean it!" Reggie pleaded trying to get Sam to stop, only for him to glare at her and say "What would you know Rocket?!"
Reggie just looked horrified, as Sam passed the half pipe and quickly made haste back towards the Mad Town entrance, Reggie continued to chase after from close behind.
At this point, Sam was now on the verge of complete annoyance, instead of stopping as Reggie had wanted he instead leaped off the ground and skidded on the railing going up towards the closed Shore shack. Reggie, having no time to conduct the same stunt just rolled up the ramp instead.
"You just don't Quit do ya!" Sam growled as he was now racing back towards the cul-da-Sac, that was just blocks away from the beach. He had tried to lose Reggie in every step of the way, but each time he had tried, Reggie was always on his tail, eventually Sam had enough and decided to play dirty.
In one last stunt, Sam quickly darted into an alleyway not far from the Cul-Da-Sa in a last desperate attempt to lose Reggie. Sam while racing through the alleyway accidently began ramming through trash cans, but was still able to continue his speed up, coming up with a plan, Sam began knocking some of the garbage cans over in an attempt to trip Reggie.
"Sam!" Reggie called out again only to narrowly miss getting struck by incoming rolling trash cans that were blocking her path ahead.
"WHOA! What are you doing?! Your going to Hurt someone!" Reggie cried out of anger, "Well there is plenty more garbage cans where that came from!" Sam called back as he leaped over a dumpster and kicked one more trash can sending it rolling at fast speed towards Reggie.
"Uh oh." Reggie gasped in terror as she approached the incoming trash can at fast speed. With no way to port around the can due to the tight space of the alley walls which blocked her left and right passage ways. By this time Reggie had attempted to jump over the incoming trash can, but it was no good.
Her skate board struck the can anyway, causing her to fly into the air and landing straight into a Dumpster, sending garbage flying in all directions, after this event Sam had finally stopped at the end of the alleyway and turned back to see Reggie climbing out with a look of victory on his face.
"Score one for Rogue Sam, and score Loser for Rocket, ha ha ha." Sam laughed with no remorse following Reggie's almost near injury incident. Reggie could now do nothing but watch Sam disappear into the mists, as the rain by this time began to pour down even harder then before.
Tears formed in Reggie's eyes as she punched the Dumpster in Anger for what Otto had said hours earlier, now she would really pulverize Otto when she got home.
Rocket Residence...
Back home in the Rocket residents, Raymundo was constantly pacing the floor, he was constantly worried. "Otto did Reggie ever say when she was coming back? The weather outside is getting very bad, and with that storm coming, I really wouldn't like her to be playing outside at this time." Otto was about to speak until Raymundo cut him off. "Oh and don't think that I didn't know about you sneaking out in order to avoid your punishment, now you are ground for one week and one day, tops." Snapped Raymundo one last time much to Otto's annoyance.
"I know dad, I know, and as for Reggie, the last time I saw her, she was with Sam." Otto answered with both a hint of annoyance and worry in his voice. Just before Raymundo was about to ask a second question the front door to the house flew open with the silhouette of Reggie standing outside, as thunder revealed her for a second.
Soak and wet from the rain, and coated with garbage after her crash landing in the Dumpster in the Alley way, Raymundo approached the silhouette of Reggie demanding an explanation but was soon horrified to see his daughter coated in garbage, after another streak of thunder revealed her look.
Her Purple rocket Tee was completely stained with soda and other Dumpster liquids while her Green pants were all white and full of Spaghetti and ketchup stains, her hair was all messy and wet, and her face was full of melted venal Ice cream, and white chalk dust.
'Reggie! What in the world happened to you?!" Raymundo didn't know whether to be angry or shocked at Reggie's sudden appearance, but he instead was more worried due to the fact that his daughter might have gotten hurt while she was coming home. Reggie didn't say anything at first, until Raymundo attempted to ask again.
"I'm okay dad, I just... landed in a Dumpster, is all." Reggie answered as calmly as she could, but Raymundo knew that something was wrong, even though he couldn't hear it, he could see Reggie was breathing heavily non stop. Just then Otto came into the room with a look of shock on his face. "Whoa! Reggie what happened to you?! Did you like dig around a dumpster?"
Otto's voice sparked Reggie's anger as fire dwelled into her eyes, her face felt hot, even under the white ice cream and chalk dust, her face can be seen slowly turning red. In a split second Reggie quickly dashed passed Raymundo and lunged toward Otto about to pulverize him, only to be stopped by Raymundo just before she could reach him.
Otto was in terror as he had never seen Reggie this angry before, but he may have had a clue on why she was angry, it might have been his grumpiness 2 hours ago and his fight with Sam Dullard, which triggered it. She must have tried to talk to Sam, but wound up crashing into a Dumpster while trying to get Sam to listen to her.
"YOU DORK! YOU ARE SO TOAST!" Reggie lashed out angrily, trying to get at Otto, but was unable to because of Raymundo holding her back. "LET GO OF ME DAD!" Reggie screamed while trying to reach Otto who was now as white as a Ghost, but Raymundo using his fatherly Instincts lifted Reggie off the ground and planted her firmly on her feet looking into her eyes.
"Reg! thats Enough young lady!" Raymundo ordered in a booming voice which eventually got Reggie to calm down, as she just looked down in sadness.
Using this as an opportunity, Raymundo turned towards Otto and with a strict command said "Otto! go to your room." In one split second Otto dashed for his room locking the door behind him leaving Raymundo and Reggie alone in the living room.
Silence filled the living room for a few seconds until Raymundo eventually broke it. "Reggie what is wrong with you, you've never acted like this?"Raymundo demanded more horrified than angry or disappointed.
He could hear Reggie crying, as he pulled her into a hug. "It will be okay Reggie, just tell daddy what happened and I will do what I can to make it better." Raymundo said with a large smile on his face in hopes of cheering his daughter up, as Reggie cried in his chest while gripping his shoulders.
"Otto has done something...terrible." She started off eventually getting Raymundo to let go of her and kneel down to her level in order to listen. While still holding her shoulders Raymundo looked at her eyes and was determined to hear what happened.
"Go on princess tell me what happened."
10 minutes Later...
Raymundo was seen with a look of disappointment and anger inside Otto's room pacing his floor. Otto was shown looking down in sadness at the ground knowing that the worst was about to come.
"I couldn't believe my ears after hearing what your sister said in the living room, Rocket Boy, you place the blame on mistakes that you made on others, and kick one of your closets friends off of your team just because you got grounded of one week?!" Raymundo snapped before stopping in his tracks glaring down at Otto with arms crossed over his chest.
"Because if that is what this is about, than that is really lame of you Otto." Raymundo finished off as he continued to glare down at his son, who eventually turned up to look at Raymundo.
"Dad, Squid is a wimp, all he dose is fail at stunts and get hurt all the time, and I'm sick of it." Otto snapped in his defense as he looked away with his arms crossed, which didn't amuse Raymundo one bit.
"Otto!" Raymundo snapped turning his son's attention back towards him, as he looked at him with a look of anger in his eyes. "Do you know what you've just put your sister through by pulling this stunt?! Do you know how crushed she is because of this?!" Raymundo snapped, cutting off Otto's every attempt to interrupt.
"She raced after your friend in order to try and apologize to him for your episode, only to see him, toss his own glasses away and poorly try to shred the half pipe when he couldn't even see where he was going!" Raymundo yelled getting Otto's eyes filled with fear.
"She tried to stop him, even when it was raining, but you know what Rocket boy?! " He than asked in a sarcastic way before finishing off his sentence with a cold snap to Otto's face. "Sam lured Reggie into an alleyway and knocked over several trash cans causing her to trip and fall head first into a Dumpster! Your sister almost got hurt out there! Trying to talk to him!" Otto didn't know what to say now, he was still grumpy about his grounding, but after hearing about what had happened to Reggie and Sam, he just didn't know what to think.
"You should be thanking me that I was here when Reggie returned Otto, because if I wasn't she would have womped you bad!" Raymundo snapped one last time as he turned to leave Otto's room, as Otto felt a sudden urge of guilt forming inside of him, could he really have gone too far when it came to his grumpy side? Could Sam really have taken his words too far? He was now worried what would become of his formal squid now.
"Now I'm going to leave and try to clean your sister up, while you think about what you've done, you are not to leave this room until you apologize to both Sam Dullard and your sister, for what you have done." Raymundo said in his final words as he shut the door leaving Otto now alone in his room.
