Chapter 4: Alexis and Ricky Make Amends

At the school playground, Ronnie Anne is sitting at one of the tables there. Soon Ricky arrives without his skateboard and helmet because Ronnie Anne also doesn't have her skateboard and helmet. So the two of them talk about something besides skateboarding tricks. Ronnie Anne asks Ricky, "How can you handle Becky being your older sister."

Ricky would rather not answer, so he changes the subject and asks Ronnie Anne, "How are you doing?" Ronnie Anne says, "I'm fine." Ricky then asks, "Are we going to do more skateboarding stuff today?" Ronnie Anne answers, "We will." Ricky will be excited, so he gets out of his seat, he will be smiling, jumping and yelling yay! After that the two of them talk about skateboard stuff.

Then we focus on Alexis nearby who is playing his tuba. He plays until he suddenly spots Ronnie Anne and Ricky at a table. His reaction is that he is mostly annoyed because Ricky is his enemy. Alexis is also jealous that Ronnie Anne is spending time with Ricky. So while leaving his tuba behind, Alexis stomps over to Ronnie Anne's table.

We then go back to Ronnie Anne and Ricky again. Ronnie Anne is telling Ricky about another skateboarding move with her saying, "The next one we would do is the frontside 360." Ricky then asks, "What kind of skateboard trick is that?" Ronnie Anne answers, "You jump while turning the board at 360 degrees." Ricky then replies, "Neat." Ronnie Anne then tells more about this trick, "You have to spin the board at 360 degrees while it's still in mid air." Then Ricky says, "That is cool." Then Alexis comes to the table. He slams his hands on the table and asks, "What is Ricky doing with Ronnie Anne?"

After seeing Alexis arrive, Ronnie Anne becomes nervous. Ricky then gets angry at Alexis, so Ricky gets up in Alexis' face, pushes Ronnie Anne aside and tells him, "It's none of your business." Soon the two boys start insulting and name calling each other. First Alexis calls Ricky, "Bully!" Ricky shoots back, "Piggy!" Ricky called him that because he is plump. Alexis will then call him, "A Big Meanie!" Ricky replies, "Stupid!"

Ronnie Anne will finally intervene, feeling annoyed, getting between the two boys and she both tells them to, "Stop fighting." The two boys then just both turn towards Ronnie Anne, in other words she got Alexis and Ricky's attention. Then Ronnie Anne starts explaining what she was trying to do, "I was trying to make time to hang out with both of you guys, I knew you were enemies, so when I hanged out with you Alexis, I tried to hang out with Ricky separately."

After hearing this, both boys start feeling bad about the way they acted. Ricky will then apologize, "I am sorry for bullying you Alexis, because my friends, sister and older kids; teens were also bullying you." Then Ronnie Anne and Alexis both grow surprised at this, Alexis because he never thought that Ricky would have ever apologized to him.

Ronnie Anne then asks Alexis, "Is this true?" Alexis then answers, "Yes, I will tell you how I am bullied." Ronnie Anne then says, "Go on." Alexis tells her that, "I am called fat a lot, my bullies stuff things in my tuba and there are a lot more ways that I am bullied." Ronnie Anne then decided to confess to both Alexis and Ricky that, "Well I used to bully Lincoln back when we still lived in Royal Woods." The two boys after hearing are actually surprised. Then Alexis and Ricky start realizing what they've become. Ricky says, "I'll do whatever I can make up for my behavior." After hearing this Ronnie Anne will feel proud.

Later in late morning, 10:30 am, Ronnie Anne, Alexis and Ricky are hanging out at a pizza place so that they can eat. They are sitting in a table together and they both choose a pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms on it. Ricky says, "Thank you Ronnie Anne for letting us both come here. Alexis will be excited for the pizza, as well as having him and Alexis getting along for once. Ronnie Anne then says, "You're welcome."

Then their pizza arrives, put on the table and the waiter tells them, "Enjoy your pizza kids." They all say, "Thanks," to the waiter who then leaves. They then take their own slice of pizza and eat, it taste great! Then they start talking on how they will improve their friendships with Ricky starting first. Ricky will ask, "How are we gonna continue our lives as friends?"

Alexis answers, "Ricky has got to be nicer." Ricky will respond by saying, "I will work on it." Ronnie Anne tells him, "You better change your attitude." Ricky accepts this by saying, "Yeah I will." Alexis then suggest, "I'm going to try losing some of my weight." Then Alexis gets a flashback from when he got stuck in Ronnie Anne's bathroom window twice. After that Alexis tells the reason, "I will try to lose weight because it is starting to become a problem for me." Ronnie Anne knows what Alexis is talking about and she replies, "I accept." Then Ronnie Anne says, "I'm glad that both of you boys know what your goals are." Both Alexis and Ricky say, "Thank you." Then all 3 continue eating until they finish all of the pizza.

The End of the whole story.
