Chapter 1: Leona Redfield
The Old Pier Beach was so beautiful today. Leona Redfield was sitting alone when a handsome guy approached her.

"Oh, you came..." Leona said. She smiled at the handsome guy.

The handsome guy stroked her cheek, made her blush. The two then closed their eyes and were about to kiss when suddenly...

"Leona... Leonaaaaa!"

A voice heard from nowhere, calling for Leona. Leona ignored it and continue to do her "business" with the handsome guy.

"LEONAAAAAA!"

The voice was heard again, became louder and louder. Leona was scared.

"LEONA ANNE REDFIELD! What time do you think it is!?"

Leona awakened from her sleep, the voice was came from her mother, Lily, who tried to wake her up. Leona confused, she then realized that it was just a dream.

"Quick, take a shower and eat your breakfast!" Lily ordered.

Leona then looked at the clock, it was 08.25 A.M.

"OH MY GOSH, I'M LATE!" Leona panicked, she jumped out from her bed and took her towel and rushed to the bathroom. Lily shook her head.

15 minutes later, Leona quickly returned to her room and changed her outfit. Lily entered her room and brought her a bread. Leona took it, eating it quickly.

She then ran to her bike. "Bye Mom!"

Leona pedaling her bike very fast. She even almost hit a chipmunk, but she luckily could dodge it.

"STUPID ANIMAL!" she yelled.

09.10 A.M

Leona finally arrived in the school. After parked her bike, she rushed to her classroom, knowing she was already late. A hall monitor caught her running in the corridor, but Leona ignored him and continue her way to her class.

She eventually arrived in her classroom. The first class was already begun, the teacher looked at Leona angrily.

"Redfield! This is the third time you are late! Get out now!" the teacher ordered. Leona stunned. Her classmates laughed... Except Bella and Darlene, they only shook their head.

"O-Okay ma'am" Leona said in embarrassment and went out from the classroom.

"Oh man, what a bad day for me..." she thought.

Chapter 2: At the School
During lunch time, most students were gathered in the school cafeteria as usual. Leona, Bella, and Darlene were greeted by Kaylynn who was waiting for them. The four girls were always together. They lived just like other ordinary teenagers: shopping in the mall, hanging out in cafe, etc.

"So Bella, tell us about your date with Mortimer yesterday," Darlene teased Bella "I heard you kiss him!"

Bella blushed, everyone laughed. Bella Bachelor and Mortimer Goth had became a couple and just went on a date.

"Well... Yeah, it was really fun" Bella answered "Morty is really sweet, you'd never know that he's clumsy".

The girls laughed.

"And how about you Leona?" Darlene asked.

"Huh, about what?" Leona said in confusion.

"When will you get a boyfriend Leona? I mean, we never seen you on a date with a guy. Do you even have a crush?" Darlene clarified her question.

"Well I have no idea." Leona answered.

"I heard few days ago there were three guys asking you for a date, but you rejected them. Is that true?" Bella asked.

"Yes it's true" Leona answered "They aren't really my type."

"What kind of guy do you like anyway?" Kaylynn asked.

"That's kind of my secret" Leona answered.

"Oh, come on. Tell us pleaseeeeee!" they persuaded Leona to tell them, but Leona only smiled.

Leona, Darlene, and Bella departed to their next class.

"Hey Leona..." Someone called. It was Alex Curtiz "Come here, I want to ask you something!"

Leona told Bella and Darlene to go ahead while she approached Alex.

"What is it Al?" Leona asked.

"Well, I know this is awkward but... do you know how Jean's doing in France right now?" Alex said.

Leona chuckled hearing Alex's question. It had been three weeks since Jean Redfield was chosen to participate in the exchange student program in France for a month. She was chosen after beating other potential students in the selection.

"Oh, I see! You miss my sister." she said in a manner of thoughtfulness "Well I can understand that."

Alex blushed "I was wondering since it's already been three days and she hasn't replied to any of my messages."

"I see..." Leona said "...well, last night, she chatted with me in the Sim-Messenger, she said she's okay right now."

"Oh, thank goodness. I was worried about her." Alex said.

Leona stared at Alex and smiled "Well, do you really like her Alex?"

"Huh what! I... I just..." Alex surprised

"Hahaha, don't worry Alex, it's okay if you have feelings toward her" Leona winked "Beside, it's already three weeks. Since the exchange student program is only for one month, she will return next week."

Alex nodded, and he was so glad to hear that.

Chapter 3: Mysterious Doll
Crystal Springs was one of many places that often was used for camping by the scouts. Among the scouts there was Chris Redfield.

Chris and his friends, Sam Sekemoto and Sandi French just unloaded their tent. The scouts were prepared to return home after three days camping.

"Ah, its finally over!" Sam Said "Hey Chris, I just got a new game console in my home, do you want to play?"

Chris didn't listen, his eyes gazed into another direction.

"Hey Chris! Did you listen to me?" Sam patted Chris's shoulder.

"Huh! What? What?" Chris surprised "Sorry I didn't hear you."

"Man, what are you looking at?" Sam wondered.

"He's looking at the girl who sitting over there!" Sandi said.

Sam then turned his attention to the girl who Sandi mentioned. A girl with medium-length hair and purple eyes.

"Oh, you mean her! I know her!" Sam exclaimed "She is my neighbor, a half-Asian just like me. Her name's Tamera Gerardo. Do you like her Chris?"

"What? No... I... I just..." Chris was blushing.

"Oh come on, it's okay! You can tell everything to me, I'm your best friend." Sam told Chris.

"Well, I.. I think she's cute" Chris said staring at the girl.

"Well, why don't you be friends with her?" Sam suggested

"Well... I don't know" Chris said as he continue to put his belonging in his backpack.

"Let me help you then!" Sam pulled and dragged Chris approaching the girl.

"Wait Sam, please! No! Noooooo!" Chris yelled.

Sandi looked at the two curiously. "Why boys are always so stupid?" she thought.

"Hey, Tamera!" Sam greeted her.

"Oh hi Sam!" Tamera greet him "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, but my friend here said he want to talk with you" Sam claimed.

"Okay Chris, this is up to you know, good luck!" Sam whispered before left Chris with the girl.

Chris just stood there awkwardly. Tamera gazed at him.

"Hmm... are you Chris Redfield?" she asked.

"Huh, H-How do you know my name?" Chris surprised.

"Ha ha, of course I know you! You are famous in my class!" Tamera exclaimed.

"Oh, really? I think it's because my antics, ha ha ha!" Chris said in awkward tone and then laughed.

"Ha ha ha" Tamera chucked.

"Uh... What's wrong?" Chris asked nervously.

"You are cuter than I thought" Tamera said.

"Oh, yeah, everybody said that. Ha ha ha ha ha!" Chris said. The two then laughed together and finally be acquainted.

"Everyone to the bus!" the teacher ordered the children to enter the bus.

"Finally the bus came! Come on Chris!" Sam said.

"Go on without me, I need to tie my shoes" Chris replied.

"Alright! See you in bus Chris!" Sam left Chris and enter the bus.

When Chris finished tying his shoes, a voice was heard from the bushes.

"Hello?" Chris said "is anyone there?"

There was no answer. Chris approached the bushes and he found something: a strange doll.

Chris picked up the doll and thought it was very unusual.

"Whose doll is this? It's... strange" he wondered.

"Redfield! How long are you gonna stand there?" the teacher called him.

"Oh, sorry sir!" Chris said. He put the doll in his backpack and ran to the bus.

Then the bus left...

Chapter 4: Caliente Sisters
School already ended, but some of the students were still there for after-school activities.

The Sport Club was the most popular among the after school activities. The club divided into six different kind of sports: soccer, football, basketball, athletics, baseball, tennis, and volleyball.

"Good afternoon captain!" everyone in the women's basketball team greet their captain who just arrived, Leona.

"Good afternoon everyone!" Leona greet them "Are you guys ready for training now?"

"YEEEEES!" everyone answered.

The training session started. The Sunset Valley community school's women basketball team had been the recurring champion of the national tournament. Leona also achieved the MVP title twice and crowned as the captain after the previous one graduated. Since then, Leona became one of the most popular girl in the community high school.

In the middle of training, Leona noticed one of her teammates was slacking off.

"Hey Dina! The training has already started and you are slacking off right now?" Leona approached the blonde, tan-skinned girl who just sitting in the field. Her name was Dina Caliente, the one who matched Leona's skill in sport. Everyone often saw them as rivals.

"Yeah I'm slacking off right now, you got a problem with that?" Dina answered.

"Do you remember that we will have another tournament in three months!? Now stand up and continue your training!" Leona ordered her.

Dina then stood up, she then gazed at Leona.

"You have been our captain for not too long and you already dare to order me!?" Dina yelled,

Leona crossed her arm. Everyone felt uncomfortable seeing the gap between Leona and Dina. They knew that Dina always jealous with Leona, and Leona disliked Dina's attitude. They even once had a fight when they were still freshmen team and both suspended for two matches.

"I didn't ask you to obey me, but I only want to remind you that we will have an important game in three months!" Leona said.

"Ugh, whatever, beside, I'm already skilled enough and there's no need for me to participate in this stupid training!" Dina said loftily, she then took her bag.

"Wait, where are you going? Practice isn't over yet!" Leona asked.

"I already said I don't need this stupid training? I'm already skilled enough." Dina replied before left.

"Wait Dina! Come back!" Leona yelled, but Dina didn't listen.

In the tribune, Bella, Darlene, and Kaylynn also watched.

"That Caliente girl... I never really liked her" Darlene commented.

"I agree, she's so arrogant!" Kaylynn said in agreement.

Outside the sports hall, Dina was greeted by her twin sister, Nina Caliente who had been waiting for her.

"What you took so long?" Nina complained.

"Sorry, I had problem with that stupid captain." Dina answered.

"I see..." Nina said "Whatever. Let's go to The Grind now!".

"Alright then, let's go!" Dina exclaimed.

The two sisters entered the car and headed to "The Grind", the dance club in Sunset Valley. Dina was the one who drove the car.

The training session was over, everyone returned home.

Arriving in her home, Leona was so tired.

"Welcome home sis!" Chris greet her.

"Hey Chris, how was your camping?" Leona asked nicely.

"It was so fun!" Chris answered. "Oh, mom and dad are out right now, but they left some dinner for you."

"Oh really? Unfortunately, I'm not hungry yet, I need to rest before I have dinner" Leona said.

"Okay, I'll put the meal in the refrigerator for you" Chris said again.

"Oh thanks, that's why I willl always love my little brother!" Leona rubbed Chris's head, making him smile.

Leona then enter her room and laid her body in her bed.

"Oh man, I'm so tired..." she thought.

She then took her smartphone and browsed the photo album that contained photos of Jean and herself. She stopped at her selfie picture with Jean.

"I really miss you Jean..." she said.

Chapter 5: Delgado Family
It was a new day in Sunset Valley; the weekend was finally here.

"So, are you sure you wanna keep the doll, Chris?" Leona asked

"Well, it looks like this doll doesn't have an owner. I'll keep it," Chris answered. "Besides, I've heard this type is really rare."

"Well, have fun with it!" Leona said before she left Chris' room.

Leona then walked down the stair and met her father, John.

"Hey Leona, I'm about to go out right now. Wanna come?" John asked.

"Well, I don't have any plans for today, so why not?" Leona answered. "I'll just change real quick and I'll be right down."

"Okay, I'll wait in the car," John said.

About fifteen minutes later, Leona finally came out from her room and joined John in the car.

"You took a while," John laughed.

"So, where are we going?" Leona asked, ignoring her father's comment.

"We're visiting our old friends." John replied

"Old friends? Who?" Leona said, raising her right eyebrow in confusion.

"Remember the Delgado family, our neighbors when we were in Twinbrook?" John answered. "They just moved here, to Sunset Valley!"

"Delgado? Oh I remember now, they only lived in Twinbrook for a year before they moved to another town!" Leona exclaimed.

"Yes, last night Bob called me. Your mother and I went to their house and helped them unpack their belongings," John said.

"I see...," Leona said. She laughed. "Now I'm curious about how Bob's son, that weirdo Enrico ended up. I wonder if he still as weird as when the last time I met him".

"Oh Leona, even though you always call that boy a weirdo, but I know that you secretly admire him, don't you?" John teased his daughter.

"What!? No! I... I'll never like someone with kind of antics like him," Leona said defensively. John only laughed.

The car stopped in a house dubbed "Condor Museum Lofts" by the family — the nickname was emblazoned on a metal plate fixed underneath the house number on the wall. John and Leona disembarked from the car. Leona saw a short-black haired girl with blue dress came out from the house. Leona then approached her.

"Annie?" she asked. "Annie, is that you?"

"Huh, who are you?" the girl said, confused.

"It's me, Leona! We were neighbors and went to school together when we still in Twinbrook, do you remember?" Leona exclaimed.

"Oh my Gosh... Leona!?" Annie was surprised. "I can't believe it!"

The two girls then hugged each other. "Oh gosh, it's already been ten years and... look at you, you've... changed." Annie commented.

"Not really" Leona laughed.

"Oh, please, come in. You too Mr Redfield!" Annie invited them in. "Oh, and thanks for your help last night".

John and Leona greeted by Bob Delgado and his wife, Tina. They had a nice, nostalgic conversation, reminiscing the time when they still in Twinbrook. Bob also told then where he and his family had been after moving out from Twinbrook.

"I see, Jean is in France right now and will return next week," Bob said after John told him about Jean. He nodded his head in contemplation.

"And how's about you Leona?" Tina asked.

"Oh, I'm just like other ordinary teenager...," Leona said before trailing off and laughing at her own thoughts.

"By the way, you haven't met Enrico, have you? He's probably still asleep in his room in second floor right now," Tina said.

"Annie, wake him up!" Bob ordered. "Tell him we have guests and they want to meet him."

"Okay dad," Annie said before bounding up the stairs to the second floor.

Few minutes later, footsteps were heard from the stairs. John and Leona saw a good-looking young man walk down the stairs, followed by his sister.

"Oh, hi Mr Redfield, sorry I'm still bit sleepy," Enrico greeted John.

Leona stunned seeing him, she even had her jaw dropped. Enrico then looked at her.

"Uh you're... Since you don't wear glasses... You must be Leona right?" Enrico asked.

"Y-Yeah, long time no see Enrie!" Leona said awkwardly.

"Ha ha ha, you've changed quite a bit! You're... Slightly more feminine than ten years ago!" Enrico exclaimed.

"What!? Oh please, I was always like this!" Leona grumbled, everyone laughed.

Back at home, Chris was left to occupy himself. His parents gave him strict instructions to stay inside and do his homework (or something to that effect).

"Ugh, I'm so bored..." Chris grumbled, he laid his body on his bed "I want to go fishing but mom ask me to stay until she, dad, or Leona came home!"

If you so bored, then why don't you just play with me? a voice suddenly heard from nowhere.

"What!? Who's that!?" Chris surprised.

Take a look at the doll on the cupboard, the voice said.

Chris then looked at the cupboard, there was only the doll that he found during the camping trip at Crystal Springs.

Take the doll and place it in the ground, the voice said again.

Chris then took the doll from the cupboard and place it in the ground. "Like this?" he asked.

Something happened. The doll suddenly floated, its entire body shined. Chris was shocked. The doll's body suddenly enlarged. It grew into size of a child.

"Hi there Chris! I'm your new imaginary friend, let's have fun together!" The "doll" could even talk. It was introducing itself.

Chris didn't said anything, he was stunned.

"Uh, Chris? You okay?" the "doll" asked.

"AHHHHHHH, A GHOST! THERE'S A GHOST IN MY HOUSE!" Chris suddenly snapped, screamed and jumped to his bed as if he was a little girl who'd just seen a mouse.

Chapter 6: Imaginary Friend
"Relax Chris, I'm not a ghost, nor a monster" the doll tried to convince Chris to not be afraid.

"If you're not a ghost or a monster, then w-w-what are you!?" Chris said haltingly.

The doll sighed "I already told you that I am an imaginary friend!" the doll said "Chill out, I won't hurt you".

"Are you sure?" Chris asked.

"I guarantee!" the doll exclaimed.

Chris then down from his bed, he approached the doll, he still couldn't believe his eyes.

"S-So, what's your name?" Chris asked again.

"I don't know. I don't have a name yet..." the doll answered.

"Huh? h-how can we be friends if I even didn't know your name?" Chris said.

"Well, it's because I was just born from your imagination. So you're the one who should give me a name" the doll informed "You must determine my gender as well."

"Are you serious?" Chris surprised, the doll nodded.

"Well, let me see... Your name will be... Carlos... Charles.. No..." Chris tried to think what name he should give for the doll.

"Oh, I know." he then exclaimed "CHARLIE! Your name is Charlie, Charlie Redfield!"

"Is that a boy or girl name?" the doll confused.

"Uh, well, boy, I think" Chris answered.

"Charlie Redfield huh? Well, I like it!" the doll said in excitement.

"Oh by the way, if my family is nearby, don't show up in this form. I afraid they'll get heart-attack if they see a large-talking-and-living doll roaming around the house" Chris requested.

"Don't worry, it's not a problem since you are the only one who can see me." Charlie said "Everyone who are not my owner only see me as an ordinary doll, so..."

"Wait? So you mean that they can not see you?" Chris surprised.

"That's right, it's because I born from your imagination. I'm your Imaginary friend after all." Charlie explained.

"I see..." Chris said nodding his head, apparently understand what Charlie said.

Chapter 7: Caliente house
Mortimer Goth ride his bike to the house dubbed Capitola A. The house was big. The interior of this frame-A house flashed back to the 70s with flair. The backyard included a grove of pine trees and a massive deck.

"This must be the place" Mortimer thought "Caliente house...".

As Mortimer parked his bike, in the same time, the sisters, Nina and Dina came out from the house.

"Oh my gosh, look at here Nina, the handsome Mortimer Goth come to visit" Dina said.

"Is there anything we can do for you sweetie?" Nina asked in flirty tone.

"I'm here to get a package your mother promised to my mom" Mortimer answered "Is your mother home right now?"

"Unfortunately mom is out right now" Dina said "well, me and Nina just made something delicious, do you want to taste it?".

"Well I..." Mortimer couldn't finish his sentence, and the two girls grabbed his hand.

"Come on, don't be shy" they said pulling Mortimer in.

In the living room, Dina and Nina gave Mortimer a slice of cake. Mortimer sat on a sofa, with Nina and Dina to his left and right.

"How's the cake honey?" Dina asked, still in a flirty tone.

"W-Well, it's... uh... delicious..." Mortimer answered awkwardly, he felt uncomfortable with how the girls stared at him.

After finished eating the cake, Dina offered him another slice, but Mortimer declined it. They then started a conversation.

"So Morty, I heard you now dating with Bella, is that true?" Nina asked

"Oh, yeah, that's... that's right, we are dating now!" Mortimer answered

"I was heartbroken when I heard that news" Dina said "Because I actually like you Mortimer..."

"Me too, I also like you Morty..." Nina claimed.

"Uh... Okay, thanks..." Mortimer said "c-can you scoot that way? Your in my personal space..."

"Why? You afraid Bella will catch you here?" Dina asked, seducing him.

"Don't worry sweetheart, it won't be happened" Nina seduced him too, stroking his cheek.

Mortimer began to sweat. Great holy llamas... I must get out from here!. he thought.

Suddenly, the front door was opened. A brown haired, middle-aged woman with black sunglasses entered the house and get in to the living room where she surprised with Mortimer's presence. The woman's name was Katrina Caliente, the mother of Nina and Dina.

"Oh, you're... Mortimer right?" Katrina asked "your mother just told me that you will come to take her package".

Mortimer nodded.

"Oh, okay, I will get the package. It's in my room, stay here!" Katrina quickly went to her room and got the package, and then gave it to Mortimer.

"Here it is..." she said.

"Oh, okay thanks mam, I think I should go right now, my mother probably is waiting" Mortimer said.

"Okay, take care, say hello to your mom for me!" Katrina said.

Mortimer then left the Caliente house, he pedaled his bike and headed back to the Goth manor. The annoyed Dina and Nina were still sitting in the sofa and stared at their mother.

"Uh, why are you staring at me like that?" Katrina asked, raising her right eyebrow in confusion.

"Why are you always ruining our fun?" the two yelled in unison.

Chapter 8: At the Plaza
The Mirabello Plaza was so crowded tonight, almost everyone in Sunset Valley were here, most of them went to watched a movie in the theater, some of them went shopping in the grocery store, while the rest decided to went to the bookstore.

Leona and Enrico were hanging out in the plaza. They just finished watching a movie in the theater.

"Whoa! that was the most epic action film that I've ever see!" Enrico exclaimed, "what do you think about that film Leona?" he asked.

However, Leona didn't answer. Enrico then looked at her and noticed that Leona was staring at the bookstore next to the theater.

"Leona? What's wrong?" Enrico asked "Do you want to buy something in the bookstore?"

"Oh, no" Leona answered "I just, you know, every time I see or pass that bookstore, It make me remembered Jean. The bookstore is her favorite place".

"I see..." Enrico said "But I heard that she will return next week, right?"

"Yeah..." Leona nodded "even though it's only for a month, I really miss her so much"

"By the way, what time is it?" Leona asked

Enrico then looked at his watches. "It's 07.45 P.M" he said.

"Well, no wonder I really hungry right now, it's almost dinner time" Leona said holding her rumbling stomach.

"You're right, I'm hungry too" Enrico said. "Hey, there's a restaurant in the cross of the grocery store right? What about we dine there?" He suggested.

"Do you mean the bistro? Well, I don't know, the foods there are so expensive, I prefer to eat in my mother's workplace in Hogan's deep" Leona said.

"Well, if you insist, okay we go to Hogan's deep now. Let me treat you!" Enrico offered.

"Really!? oh thanks Enrie, I really appreciate!" Leona said happily.

They then stopped the Taxi and went to the Hogan's deep to eat. At the same time, there were Bella and Darlene who just out from the bookstore. The two noticed Leona there.

"Hey Bella, isn't that Leona?" Darlene asked.

"Yeah, you right, and she's with... a guy!?" Bella said.

"Whoa, unbelievable..." Darlene said in awe "and that guy is handsome too, I so envious!"

Chapter 9: Jean Redfield
Next morning, Leona went jogging. While resting the Central Park, she was approached by Darlene.

"Hi Leona!" Darlene greeted her.

"Oh hi Darlene!" Leona greeted her back.

Darlene then took a seat next to Leona and staring at her with smirk on her face. Leona noticed it.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Leona asked "Is something wrong?"

"Oh nothing..." Darlene answered "But you know... last night, Bella and I were hanging out in the plaza and we saw you there,"

"So?" Leona raised her right eyebrow.

"Tell me this Leona... What's your new boyfriend's name?" Darlene asked teasing her

"What boyfriend?" Leona was suddenly confused.

"Oh come on! We saw you with a handsome guy last night. Tell me! Don't be shy" Darlene teased her more.

"Wait, what!? No no no, that guy isn't my boyfriend!" Leona declined "He's my old friend when I still in Twinbrook and just moved here!".

"Oh, I see..." Darlene still staring at Leona, made her slightly annoyed.

"Okay Darlene, I know what you're thinking! I'm going to tell you again that Enrico and I are just friends! Nothing more and nothing less!" Leona said "and do not spread any rumors about me and Enrico in school, alright?"

"So his name is Enrico? Ha ha ha! Don't worry, I won't do that, I promise!" Darlene laughed.

Suddenly, Leona's cellphone was ringing. Leona looked at the number. It was unknown.

"Whose number is this?" Leona thought.

"Hello?" Leona answered the phone.

"Hi Leona, it's me!" the voice said.

Leona surprised, she knew the voice in the phone, it was her sister, Jean.

"Oh my gosh, Jean!" Leona excited exclaimed!

"What? Jean!?" Darlene gasped.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make a phone call before," Jean said in the phone, "You know, it's so expensive to make a call to other country from here. But luckily, my friend just let me to use her cell phone so I can contact you,"

"I see..." Leona said "At least we know that you're fine there... Oh gosh, I really miss you,"

"Me too," Jean said. "But don't worry, I'm coming home on Wednesday and I'm arriving in Sim-Nation on Thursday morning,"

"Really!? That's two days earlier than we expected!" Leona surprised.

Yeah, I was also surprised, now I need to manage everything I need to go home Jean said again.

"By the way Jean, I need to tell you that our friends from our neighborhood, the Delgado family, are now living in Sunset Valley now!" Leona informed.

"Delgado family? Oh you mean Enrico and Annie, right? Are you serious? Oh, I can not wait to meet them again!" Jean excited.

"Oh, I need to go to the embassy right now! That's all everything I need to tell you, Jean said, "By the way, do you want to leave my word for Alex?"

"Sure what is it?" Leona asked.

"Tell me that I'm sorry I couldn't replied his message. I was so busy here and almost didn't had time to check my e-mail" Jean said.

"Okay, maybe I should ask him to make a Sim-Messenger account too?" Leona said

"Ha ha, you should!", the two sisters laughed.

"Oh I think I should go now, bye Leona! Say hello to everyone for me!" Jean said.

"Okay, take care!" Leona said ending their conversation.

"Leona, is that really Jean!?" Darlene asked.

"Yup" Leona answered "she told me that she will return home two days earlier than we thought"

"Really!? That's great!" Darlene excited "I think we should tell the others about this!"

"Well, you right" Leona agreed "I'll tell Alex and you can tell Bella and Kaylynn".

"Aye aye captain!" Darlene said.

"Can you just stop calling me captain?" Leona said

Chapter 10
Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab were relaxing in the front yard of their house. Suddenly, their son, Malcolm appeared, wearing a formal suit.

"Where are you going son?" Geoffrey asked

"Well, I-I want to go to the my... uhh... my friend's house" house Malcolm answered.

"I see, just take care" Nancy said.

Malcolm then rode his bike and pedaled it so quickly, the Landgraabs could see that their son was so happy.

"First date huh? No wonder he's really enthusiast" Geoffrey smiled.

"But still I disliked the girl, that... who's that girl's name again?" Nancy asked.

"Nina, Nina Caliente" Geoffrey answered.

"Yes! That Caliente girl, I already disliked her attitude when first time Malcolm introduced her to us!" Nancy claimed.

"Oh come on, don't be so harsh, they are still teenagers after all" Geoffrey laughed, "By the way, is that Holly in the cover of your magazine?" Geoffrey pointed at Nancy's magazine.

"Yes, after three years moved to Bridgeport, Holly finally become a successful businesswoman there" Nancy replied looking at Holly's picture at the magazine "she not only run her own company, she also become a motivator and book writer, her name now be known by everyone in this country".

"That's good for her" Geoffrey said "Nick must be proud, it's so unfortunate he passed before he could see his daughter become this successful".

Nancy nodded in agreement. "Since her father died, Holly really become a hard worker, I also proud of her" she said.

At the Bistro, Malcolm brought Nina for lunch.

"Malcolm honey, I really happy you bring me here" Nina grabbed Malcolm's arm tenderly "can I have an Italian food? or a steak maybe?"

"Everything for you my cupcake" Malcolm said in flirt tone.

The two entered the Bistro and took a seat, the waiter came and gave them the menu.

"Honey, I want this!" Nina pointed at one of the food in the menu. It was a Trip-Ti steak.

Malcolm looked at the price. "My gosh... It's so expensive..." he thought "but it's okay, it's for her after all...".

After ordering the food, Nina's cellphone was ringing. It was from Dina.

"Oh, looks like I got a phone call from my sister" Nina said "mind if I go to outside for a moment? this phone call is so important"

"Sure, just relax!" Malcolm answered.
