R.A., who was still fat, was walking down the sidewalk towards her apartment complex.
R.A.: (groans) I hope I can make it home.
She then worried about some important things...
R.A.: Oh, dang it, how my family going to react if they see me fat? And also ask why I didn't go home last night?
She then arrived outside her building. R.A. had to think of a way to get inside...
R.A.: Should I go inside normally, or find another way in?
After thinking for a moment, R.A. decided the best choice was to find another way in. She looked at the fire escape, and tried to climb to her bedroom window from up high. Amazingly, by holding onto the bars, and walking slowly, she reached it. But she was worried about trying to climb inside...
R.A.: If I try to climb in here, I'll get stuck!
But she also knew that she didn't have any other choice. If she stood on the fire escape too long, it could break, and she would fall off. She thought at first, she might try going in feet first, but she could be in a worse position if she got stuck that way. She decided to try to go in headfirst. Despite going in slowly, she got stuck...
R.A.: (worried) Oh, no, this is not good.
She then pushes on the walls of her room to try to get out, but doesn't budge. She became nervous, because someone in her family could hear her...
R.A.: How am I gonna get out of this one?
R.A. remembered telling her family she was going out last night, but they didn't know where she had gone to Althea the enchanted girl's house.
Someone knocked on R.A. bedroom's door, because they heard noise. At that moment, R.A. had to reveal everything...
R.A.: Okay, come in.
It was revealed to be her oldest cousin, Carlota, (in her regular outfit) who was shocked at seeing her stuck in her bedroom window...
Carlota: Uh, hello, Ronnie Anne. What happening in here?
R.A.: Oh, hello, Carlota. I just myself stuck trying to climb in here.
Carlota: How did you get so fat?
R.A. thought about this. After a bit of quick thinking, she had an answer...
R.A.: Uh, I had a big meal out last night.
Carlotta: What was it?
R.A. believed that Carlota might not believe her if she said that she had a lot of healthy food, so she had to think of something else. She knew it was wrong, but she had to lie here...
R.A.: 2 large pepperoni pizzas!
Carlota: (wondering) Well... where were you last night?
R.A.: I was at a party!
Carlota: Why didn't you tell anyone about this party last night, Ronnie Anne?
R.A.: It was kinda unexpected.
Carlota: Do you need any help?
R.A.: Yes, Carlota, I need your help to get inside.
Carlota looked around for something slippery. She saw 3 full water bottles in R.A.'s mini fridge. She spread the water from them on onto R.A.'s stuck wedges, making R.A. wiggle...
Carlota: Ronnie Anne, hold still!
R.A.: I'm trying!
Carlota: (thinking) It's weird that I'm touching Ronnie Anne's blubber.
After a while, Carlota finished...
Carlota: I'm done spreading the water.
At that point, she grabbed R.A.'s arms, and then tried to pull her out. After a little while, Ronnie Anne popped free, and flew through the room, then landed on the ground. She picked herself off the ground, and turned to her oldest cousin...
R.A.: Thank you, Carlotta.
Carlota: You're welcome. I won't tell anyone I saw you, Ronnie Anne.
R.A.: I appreciate it.
Carlota left the room, then Ronnie Anne got in her bed, and took a nap. While she was sleeping, R.A. had a dream. She was at a baseball game, and she was standing at the center of a baseball diamond. R.A. heard the sound of a baseball hit from a distance. She saw that the ball was high in the air, coming towards her. She held out her mitt, and ran to catch the ball, but she just missed it. When the ball hit the ground, this shocked R.A. enough to make her wake up...
R.A.: (yawning) Wow, that was weird.
R.A. got up off her bed, and went to look for a family member around the apartment. Eventually, after checking most of the rooms, she find Carlota in the kitchen cooking up 12 tacos. Carlota was checking the pans, ingredients, and sauces to make sure everything was going well. R.A. soon enters the kitchen...
R.A.: Carlota, what time is it?
Carlota: It's about 10:00am. Why do you ask?
R.A.: Because I took a nap just now. Anyway, what are the tacos for?
Carlota: They're for today's lunch.
After the teen girl finishes cooking and making the tacos, she then put them onto a tray, then left the kitchen.
R.A.: (thinks) I think I should go see Althea again, but I think I can wait until lunchtime.
She looked to see if Carlota or anyone else was watching, then she quickly ate 6 of the tacos, so she doesn't get caught eating them. She left the kitchen while her cheeks are stuffed, then went to the living room to watch TV. She put on a telenovela to watch. At lunchtime, R.A.'s family were in the living and dining room. (Maria, Bobby, Rosa, and Hector were in the living room, while Frida, Carlos, Carlota, C.J., Carl, and Carlitos were in the dining room) Everyone was staring as how big R.A. had gotten. Maria turned to her daughter with a stern look...
Maria: Ronnie Anne, what did you eat last night?
R.A.: (nervously) Uh... 2 whole pizzas.
Maria: How did you eat that much in one night?
R.A.: Well, I got kind of hungry... and I guess I ate a bit too much.
Maria was a little bit upset, and her face grew a bit red...
Maria: You do know of the consequences of this, right?
R.A. sits in silence.
Maria: Why didn't you eat more healthy stuff if you were hungry?
R.A. just shrugs. While everyone was watching TV, R.A. looked at the clock, and saw that it was noon. She got up off the couch...
R.A.: I'm going out for a bit.
Rosa: Be home by dinner, mijita. (honey)
R.A.: I will, Abuela. (Grandma)
She then walked out the door, and out of the building. R.A. then went to the forest again, walked through it, and saw Althea outside her house doing some gardening. She was planting pink flowers.
R.A.: Hello, Althea.
Althea was surprised, but also happy to see her again...
Althea: Hello, Ronnie Anne.
The two girls walked up to each other.
Althea: Why are you here right now?
R.A.: Because I wanted to see you again.
Althea looked at her friend more closely...
Althea: I see you haven't lost any weight since the last time I saw you.
R.A.: (sighs) Yeah, I know.
Althea: Anyway, how have you been doing?
R.A.: I've been doing fine.
Althea: Would you like to come inside?
R.A. nodded. Althea went inside, and R.A. then went to the ground, and, noticing how the door is, tried to crawl inside slowly. She still get herself stuck. Althea, who was already inside, sighed, and grabs both of R.A.'s arms, and tried pulling her inside...
Althea: You're just lucky the food you had here was healthy, or this could've been a lot worse.
R.A.: Yes, I agree.
The enchanted girl then successfully got her friend out of the door. R.A. fly through the living room, and onto the ground. She then picked herself up and brush herself off. Althea came over to her...
Althea: Are you okay, Ronnie Anne?
R.A.: I'm fine, Althea. Anyway, do you feel like doing some dancing?
Althea: Well, I can try.
R.A.: Great. Let's me find some music on my phone.
R.A. looked on her phone, and found a catchy jazz instrumental. After she put it on, she and Althea dance to it as best as they could. (R.A. moved her arms a little bit,, while Althea swayed her hips around, as well as moving her arms side to side) After the jazz tune finished, which was about 5 minutes, the two girls were tired, and sat on Althea's couch to rest.
Althea: This dancing was great, because I have done it for a while.
R.A.: When was the last time you danced.
Althea: About a week ago.
R.A thought of something important she hadn't asked Althea yet...
R.A.: Well, Althea, what was your past like?
Althea thought about that for a moment...
Althea: Well, me and my family previously lived in a village of really tall tree homes.
R.A.: Do you have a picture of that village?
Althea: I can do you one better.
The enchanted girl pulled out an orange wand from her pocket, which amazed R.A.
R.A.: Whoa, that is pretty cool.
Althea: I can use my wand to show you my tribal home.
Althea waved her wand around...
Althea: Abra-cadabra!
... then, a yellow flash blew around both her and R.A., which teleported them to the village of tree homes.
The two girls were now at a village full of tall trees for homes. R.A. was surprised by this...
R.A.: I never thought that a place like this could be real.
Althea: (shakes her head) Okay, follow me.
R.A. followed Althea, and they both walk past through the village, seeing how it is, with the villagers working through it.
R.A.: Why is everyone working in the village?
Althea: There's a business here that provides food and shelter, as well as protecting it, too. That's how the villagers work here. Anyway, my original home is up in the trees.
R.A.: So, do we have to climb up there?
Althea: I know the way to get there. Just keep following me a little bit further.
R.A and Althea continued walking until they reached a nature-like elevator. It was a tall tree with bushes all around, plus branches with leaves, and rocks. Plus, inside
the elevator was an old lever that was like a tree branch. R.A. was stunned...
R.A.: I never knew something like this had existed.
Althea: It's just a thing from the olden days. Would you like to go in first?
R.A. was unsure if she wanted to do it initially. But soon, she did, and she got herself stuck...
R.A.: Oh, no, really?!
In frustration, R.A. was kicking her legs.
Althea: Are you even going to fit in the elevator, Ronnie Anne?
R.A.: I don't know if I can even get out!
The enchanted girl sighed, and then used her hands to push her inside, Althea worried if her friend's weight will hold up in there. But, she successfully pushed R.A. inside the elevator. But, when Althea got in, there was hardly any room for her, because R.A. is so big that she was squished inside the elevator. Althea became squished up against the inside wall of the elevator by R.A.'s bigger body. But, they were both inside the elevator now. The door shut, and the elevator went up 10 feet high. When they reached their stop, Althea squeezes her way out of the elevator first. Then R.A. tries to make Her way out. But she got herself stuck halfway through. Again. Althea had to grab Ronnie Anne with her arms to pull her out.
Althea: Don't you want to take the stairs down?
R.A.: Maybe, if I keep getting stuck in places!
At that moment, R.A, came free. She flew out of the elevator, and then landed near a home. But she then realizes, than she and Althea are now on a branch of one of the giant trees in the village. R.A. was shocked at seeing how high up they were. But, she realizes that she able to stand up on the branch, while getting up very slowly...
R.A.: Has anyone been careful when they lived this high up?
Althea: We were, but it helped that we were so small.
The two girls then started walking around the branch...
R.A.: I'm worried if the branch could hold my weight. How far is the house?
Althea: It's 3 trees to the left.
They continued walking for 3 trees to the left, then R.A. saw a tall maple oak tree that had acorns and green leaves on it, plus a big 6-foot acorn-shaped door.
R.A. was amazed at that.
R.A.: How do you have such a big door?
Althea: We carved them like that, in case any bigger visited here.
Althea went inside first, then R.A. entered, easily getting inside because the door was so big. She was amazed after seeing the living room, which had a big red couch, a brown coffee table, a red chair, and a huge gray TV...
R.A.: Althea, why do you and your family have stuff here when they don't live here?
Althea: (hesitant) Well... we were forced out of the village by a threat. It was about 10 years ago.
Gets out a crystal ball for the flashback...
Four villagers were at a campfire...
Villager 1: Where is Althea and her family?
Villager 2: They'll be late to make smores with us.
Althea: Everything was great, until a huge forest fire started and destroyed the forest.
The crystal ball is showing that the wind outside is getting stronger, and the fire started becoming more brighter, which the villagers don't notice at first.
Althea: A strong wind that night got out of control, and that small campfire turned big.
Soon, the villagers smelled smoke. They saw the fire grow bigger, and quickly ran back to the village to warn everyone.
Everyone got out many buckets of water, splashed it onto the fire, then passed them back, and filled them up again with water and quickly passed them back to put the fire out. But it didn't help.
R.A. and Althea were now frightened, because they saw that the wind had blew that fire to more tall tree homes. Then the fire were burning my many of the trees in the village, and many villagers were not running for their lives.
The girls, watching this, were sad about what had happened, as they saw 2 of the trees fall against some of the others. Then the tall trees fell to the ground. In the aftermath, they both saw the village covered in fire ash, because trees were burned down. They felt saddened at what happened to the village back then.
Althea: After that, A lot of people had to move away, including me and my family.
R.A.: (sad) Althea, I'm sorry this had happened to you and your family.
Althea: (with a small smile) Thanks, I appreciate it.
At the crystal ball, they both took one last look at the remains of the village, then then hung her heads in sadness as seeing what the fire had done to it.
Althea then used her magic again, and a flash sent them back to her current home in the forest.
R.A.: I'm sorry that you had to go through all that.
Althea: It's alright.
R.A. and Althea were then figuring out what to do about this...
R.A.: Would you like to make a collage to honor your village?
Althea: That's a great idea, Ronnie Anne! I have some papers from when I lived there.
R.A.: Alright, let's do it.
The two girls then got ready to make the collage.
