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

After he finished eating the cake, Dina offered him another slice, but Mortimer declined it. They then started a conversation. "So Morty, I heard you're dating Bella now, is that true?" Nina asked. "Oh, yeah. That's... that's right, we're dating now!" Mortimer answered.

Mortimer said "c-can you scoot that way? You're in my personal space" "Why? You afraid Bella will catch you here?" Dina asked, seducing him. "Don't worry sweetheart, it won't happen."

Chris didn't listen, he continued reading the book until the last part which showed the character's Imaginary Friend turned into real human, living hapily with the main character and his family and even adopted. "Oh, what a good ending, I almost shed tears" Charlie commented.
"Hey Charlie, can I ask you something?" Chris said. "Sure, what is it?" Charlie answered. "Is it possible I can make you become real?" Chris asked "I mean, can you turn yourself into a real human and visible to people who aren't your owner?". Charlie became quiet for a moment. "Well... Uh... I dunno" Charlie said.
"What will happen to you when I grew up into teenager?" Chris asked again. "Then I will grow up too" Charlie answered "We, Imaginary Friends have same lifespan with their owners". "So you mean, if one day I died, you will..." Chris said. "Yes, you all right" Chralie said clarifying "I will... Uh.. you can say, vanished... Since ''death'' word is too frightening".

As he enjoying the music, Annie suddenly entered his room, surprising him. “Jeez Annie, have I already told you to knock the door first before you enter my room!?” Enrico said complaining.
“He he sorry bro” Annie said, “But I need to tell you that your friends, Alex and Mortimer are waiting for you outside”. “Oh, they’re already here? Well, tell them I will meet in couple of minutes” Enrico said. “Where will you guys go anyway?” Annie asked. “To the Game and Bowling Center” Enrico answered. “Really? Sounds fun, can I join?” Annie said in excitement. “Sorry Annie, this is Boys time” Enrico claimed. “Aww come on, please, pleaseeeeee!” Annie tried to persuade him to brought her. “Nope!” Enrico said again.
“Well, if that so, maybe I should tell mom about her ''misteriously''-broken vase” Annie said staring at her brother. “Wait, wait, okay, fine, you can join us! But promise me to not tell mom about that broken vase, right?” Enrico said in panic. “Well okay, thanks!” Annie said before leaving the room to met Alex and Mortimer outside. “Ugh, why is she so annoying?” Enrico thought seeing his sister.

''At the Game & Bowling Center''.
“STRIKE!” Mortimer exclaimed after he made a perfect strike. Enrico, Alex, and Annie clapped their hands. “Nice one Morty, it’s my turn” Enrico said. “Wait, can I try?’ Annie asked. “Sorry Annie, maybe later” Enrico said. “Broken... Vase” Annie suddenly said. “Okay, okay, you can try it!” Enrico said. “Yay, thank you!” Annie said.
[[File:Alex_cellphone.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Alex receives a call from Jean]]“What Broken Vase?” Alex confused. “Nothing” Enrico said. “STRIKE!” Annie exclaimed as she also made a perfect strike. “Unbelievable” Enrico had his jaw dropped. “Well, I guess your sister has got some talent” Mortimer commented. “Well, I guess it’s my turn now” Alex said. When Alex was about to thrown the ball, his cellphone ringing. It was from Jean. “A minute” Alex said leaving the room.
“Hi Jean, what is it?” Alex said answering phone. “Hi Al, where are you right now? I’m in front of your house but your mother told me that you are out right now” Jean said on phone. “Well... Uhh.. I’m with Mortie and Enrie right now, we are in the Bowling & Game Center” Alex answered. “I see... Sorry if I interupt, have fun” Jean said. “Wait Jean” Alex said. “Yes?” Jean said. “Uh... nothing... sorry” Alex said. “Well, if that so... see you tomorrow” Jean said ending her call.

''Back to the Bowling room''
“So, do you already have a date for the prom?” Mortimer asked. “No, not yet” Enrico answered. “Aw come on, there are so many beautiful girls in our school, it’s not too hard to ask them” Mortimer said. “Well, most of them are not my type” Enrico claimed. “What kind of girl do you like anyway?” Mortimer asked again. “The girl he likes is Leona” Annie suddenly said. “W-what, no no no! Urgh, Annie you...!” Enrico said nervously.
[[File:Delgados_and_Mortimer.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Annie reveals who Enrico's first love is.]]
“Really? Is that true, you... you like Leona?” Mortimer asked. “Actually Leona is his first love, I remember when the first time we met Leona in Twinbrook, he suddenly said to mom: ''mommy, mommy, is that an angel'', or something like that” Annie said reminiscing. “Ughhh” Enrico became nervous,
“Oh yeah, I also remember several days after we moved out from Twinbrook, Enrico cried calling Leona’s name numerous time on his sleep” Annie said again, “''Leona... Leona... I miss you''”. “What, no! that’s absurd!” Enrico tried to defend himself, his face became red.
“Ha ha ha!” Mortimer laugh very loudly, “S-sorry Enrie... I just... Ha ha ha! It’s so hilarious!” he said holding his stomach. Enrico became annoyed. “What happened guys?” Alex said returning to the room. “Nothing Al... just, just... Ha ha ha... Oh my gosh, I need, I need a water” Mortimer said as he couldn’t stop laughing.

In the Redfield house.
John and Chris were just returned from the Play Ground. “Today is so fun, isn’t it” John asked. “Yeah, thanks dad” Chris said happily. At the same time, Lily also just returned. “You guys having fun?” she asked. “Off course” Chris said. “Hey, you buy some books” John said. “Yes, and this is for you Chirs, you might be... Interested” Lily said giving a book to her son. “100 myths surrounding the SimNation?” Chris read the title, “What book is it?”. “Well, just read it son” Lily said. “Uh okay” Chris said entering the house.
“What book is that Lily?” John asked. “Well, remember when he talk to his... Imaginary friend last night?” Lily said “he said something about turn the imaginary to become real”. “And...?” John asked again. “Well, I think that book can help him” Lily explained smiling, but John became confused.
==Chapter 26: How to make your Imaginary Friend real==
''In Chris’s room''
“What book is that Chris?” Charlie asked, but Chris didn’t answer, he was so serious about reading the book. “Is this true Charlie?” Chris suddenly asked. “About what?” Charlie said, confused. “This” Chris showed Charlie the page he read, the page about Imaginary Friends. “Hey, there’s a page about Imaginary Friends here!” Charlie exclaimed, “and what’s this? How to make your Imaginary Friend real?” Charlie then read the description.
The description said: ''To turn your Imaginary Friend real, you must make a special potion called "Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion." You need a Rainbow Gem as its raw materials and of course, enough Logic skill. Your Imaginary Friend must drink the potion to become real. This is how I turned my Imaginary Friend real.''
“Well, I don’t know Chris. Even though it’s true, it’s so dificult to get that potion.” Charlie said. “We have Jean here, she can help us make the potion.” Chris said. “Yeah, I know. But the main problem is its raw material, the Rainbow Gem, the gem is so rare, it’s very dificult to find it” Charlie said again.
“Well we can ask Sandi, Sam, or maybe mom and dad and my sisters to help us find the gem'" Chris said, “Come on Charlie, you want to become real, right?” “Yeah, but, I'm afraid that your family and friends won’t accept me” Charlie said. “Don’t worry pal, I promise that they will be accept you once you become real!” Chris said. “Well, if that's so, okay” Charlie said smiling. "Good, prepare yourself Charlie, tomorrow we will have a ''great adventure!'' Chris claimed.
==Chapter 27: I Want To Turn My Imaginary Friend Real!==
[[File:Chris_and_Jean.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris asked Jean to help him made the Imaginary friend metamorphium potion.]]Later in the morning.
“You want me to do what?” Jean said asking Chris. “Make an Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion, just like what’s written here” Chris answered. “What’s this? ''100 Myths Surrounding SimNation''?” Jean said looking at Chris’ book. “Yes!” Chris said nodding, “Look at the page about Imaginary Friends”.
Jean then opened the page Chris mentioned and read it. She then chuckled. “Oh my dear little Chris, don’t tell me you believe this nonsense, this is just a myth,” Jean said “Beside, this book said the potion need a Rainbow Gem as its raw material and we don’t have any”. “I know, that is why I want to find it” Chris claimed. “Seriously? Oh my gosh, Chris. This is just a myth and a legend, not real!” Jean said again.
“No Jean, it’s real, I can say that because I have an Imaginary Friend” Chris claimed “Yes, you can’t see him because I’m the only one who can,” Chris then pointed at the picture of the Imaginary Friend in the book. “See? Look at this, it’s similar with the doll in my room,” Chris said “That’s an Imaginary Friend, this is how my doll look like in my eyes,” Jean then looking at the picture, she then sighed. “Probably just a costume created by the company which make that doll,” she assumed.
[[File:Chris_angry.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris angry at Jean]]“But sis,” Chris tried to convince his sister, “Chris please, I don’t have time for this” Jean said “Can’t you see? I need to finish my science project right now!” “Fine! If you don’t want to help I'll ask someone else!” Chris said in angry tone leaving the room. “Chris wait!” Jean called, but Chris didn’t listen. At the same time, Leona also entered the room.
“What happened Jean?” Leona asked. “Nothing, he asked me to do something but I told him that I can’t help,” Jean explained. “He wanted you to do what?” Leona asked. “Oh, you won’t understand” Jean answered as she continued working on her science project.
At 8.00 A.M. the school bus arrived, Jean and Leona prepared themselves to went to the school. “Where’s Chris?” Leona wondered. “He left 15 minutes ago on his bicycle” Lily answered “He said he want to visit Sam and Sandi before going to school”. “Well, if that so, I think we should go now” Jeans said “Bye mom!”
----
At Chris’ classroom.
“So let me get this straight” Sam said “You ask us to help you find this Rainbow Gem, so you can make a potion that can turn your Imaginary Friend real?” “Yes!” Chris said “That’s all what written in this book,” Sam and Sandi were quiet for a moment, and then two then laughed. “Ha ha ha! Oh gosh Chris, do you really believe in that book?” Sandi asked, “The contents in this book, they are just hoaxes!” “No! It’s real! I swear that I have an Imaginary Friend!” Chris said trying to convince his friends, “See this picture? This is an Imaginary Friend, it has similar appearance with my doll!”.
Sam and Sandi then looked at the picture. “I’m sure it’s just a costume” Sandi assumed. “Yeah, or maybe a robot” Sam said. “Guys please!” Chris said. “I’m sorry Chris, but I think that’s ridiculous, that’s just a myth.” Sam said. “Sam’s right Chris, even though you really have an Imaginary Friend, it’s impossible for you to turn it real because... It’s only your imagination, not real,” Sandi said. “Okay, very well. If you don’t want to help me, I will search for it alone!” Chris said in anger, leaving Sam and Sandi. “Wait, Chris!” Sam called, but Chris didn’t listen. “Man, he’s really angry with us.” Sam claimed.
----
In the school’s cafeteria, Chris was sitting alone. He felt disappointed that no one would help him, neither his sister or his friends. “Look like I’ll do it by myself,” he thought. “Hello Chris!” someone called him, it was Tamera, “What are you doing here?” Tamera asked. “Hi Tamera,” Chris greeted her.
Tamera then took a seat next to him. “You look sad,” Tamera said looking at Chris “What happened?” “Well, if I tell you I’m sure you will think that I’m crazy” Chris said. “Don’t worry, I won’t. Just tell me,” Tamera said smiling. “You promise?” Chris asked, Tamera only nodded. “Well, do you know anything about Rainbow Gem?” Chris asked starting the conversation.
“Rainbow Gem? Of course! It’s a very beautiful gem in SimNation, but, it’s also very rare and only few people have it” Tamera said “Why are you so interested in that gem?” Chris then gave the book to Tamera. “Hey, I also have this book in my house!” Tamera exclaimed. “Really?” Chris asked, Tamera nodded. “Then take a look to the page about Imaginary Friend here,” Chris said directing Tamera to the page.
[[File:AST_Tamera_and_Chris.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Tamera will help Chris finding the Rainbow Gem]]Tamera then read it. “I see...” she said “...You have an Imaginary Friend and you want to make it real”. “You aren't laughing?” Chris said. “Of course not, it’s normal for children like us to have Imaginary Friends and want to make them real,” Tamera said. “Besides, I know that some myths written in this book are actually real!” she said. “How do you know that?” Chris asked.
“Well, for example, in this page. It says that Moonlight Falls is full supernatural creatures such vampires, fairies, and werewolves. I was once went to Moonlight Falls to visit my uncle and stay there for a couple of days, what written in this book about the town is real, Moonlight Falls is really full of supernatural creatures, I saw it myself,” Tamera claimed. “Really?” Chris asked “You aren’t lying to me, are you?” “Of course not!” Tamera said smiling, “If you really want to search this Rainbow Gem, let me help you,"
“Really? Oh gosh, thank you Tamera!” Chris said in excitement.
==Chapter 28: Jean & Alex==
[[File:Leona_chins_up.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Leona does a chin-up]]
11.45 A.M.
All students of Jean and Leona’s class gathered in the sport hall for the physical education class. Leona impressed her everyone with her skill, she was able to do 100 chin-ups in 10 minutes, everyone cheered. “Just like usual Miss Redfield, you really have got talent here” the teacher praised, “Thank you sir” Leona said wiping her sweat. “Well, okay everyone, I think that was the last, see you again in next week” the teacher said ending his class.
Everyone then leaved the Sport Hall and return to their class. “Man, I’m so hungry” Darlene said holding her stomach. “Easy Darlene, it’s almost the lunch time, you can eat everything you like in the cafeteria” Bella said. “By the way Leona and Jean, are you two already found a date for the Prom Night?” Darlene asked. “No, not yet” Leona and Jean answered. “What about you Darlene?” Bella asked. “Oh, I already have one, FINALLY!” Darlene proudly said. “Oh, well, congratulation then” Bella said.
At their way to their class, Jean saw Alex was sitting alone in the corner. “What’s wrong Jean?” Bella asked. “Guys, can you just go on without me? There’s something I need to do right now” Jean claimed. Leona then noticed Alex’s presence, “Well, then, just go ahead Jean” Leona said smiling “Good luck”. After Leona and the others left her, Jean walked approaching Alex. “Hi Al” Jean said greeting him. “Oh hi Jean” Alex greeted her back.
Jean then took a seat next to him. “So uh, what are you doing right now?” Jean asked. “Nothing, just sitting alone here, listening to my MP3 and... Hey, this song is very good, wanna listen?” Alex said. “Off course” Jean said. Alex then gave Jean her MP3 and allowed her to listen the song. “Hey I know this song,''''' I lay my Love on You''''' by Westlife, I really love it!” Jean exclaimed. After the song ended, the second one played. “My gosh, this is my most favorite song, so classic and romantic” Jean said “'''''Right Here Waiting''''' from Richard Marx”.
[[File:Jean-Alex.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jean and Alex]]
They really enjoyed the song until it was ended. “Romantic, wasn’t it?” Jean said. “Yeah” Alex said. “By the way Al” Jean said, “The next prom night, it will be your...”, “Yeah, I know Jean” Alex said cutting Jean’s sentence “It will be both my last Prom and last day to be here”. Jean then became quiet. “What’s wrong Jean?” Alex asked. “No... Nothing” Jean said. “I think I should go to my class, bye Jean!” Alex said. “Alex wait!” Jean said stopping Alex. "What is it?" Alex asked.
“Uh, For the Prom, Do you already have a... partner?” Jean asked awkwardly. “No, not yet” Alex answered. “Well, if that so... Do you wanna... uh, do you wanna’ go with... me?” Jean asked again. Alex surprised, “Oh, uh, I don’t know, I....” Alex said. “Well, it’s okay if you don't want, I can go alone” Jean said smiling. “No, it’s not like that, I just...” Alex said. “Just what?” Jean asked. "You know, it's so awkward if the girl ask you first" Alex said. "Yeah, I know, I'm sorry" Jean. "No, it's okay" Alex said, Jean became quiet again. "But, if you really want, I will surely go with you" Alex said smiling.

The school was ended. Everyone went home, except Chris and Tamera who met at the school yard. “Sorry I’m late, I’ve to tell my brother that I will come home lately” Tamera said. “It’s okay” Chris said, “I also already told my sister too”. “And by the way, I know someone who might can help us find the Rainbow Gem” Tamera claimed. “Oh really? Who is it?” Chris wondered. “Just come with me, I will bring you there” Tamera said. Tamera and Chris then get on their respective bicycles and leaved the school area.
[[File:Chris_Tamera_and_gypsi_wagon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A gypsi wagon]]
The two then arrived in Plumpuddle Park. “Wait, Plumpuddle Park?” Chris became confused. “Just follow me” Tamera said getting off from her bike. After parking his bike, Chris followed Tamera to the other side of the park. He saw a Gypsi Wagon there. Tamera knocked the door, and an old woman appeared from inside. “Oh, hello Tamera” she greeted. “Good afternoon ma’am” Tamera said greeting her back. “What bring you here darling? Is that your friend?” the old woman asked. “Yeah, there something we want to ask you” Tamera claimed. “I see, then come in!” the old woman invited them in.
“Tamera who is she?” Chris asked whispering. “She’s a fortuneteller, she’s an old friend of my late grandmother, she had travel to the entire SimNation to find a perfect place to live” Tamera explained “She has been here for six days”. “But I will moved to the other town tomorrow” the old woman said. “Where will you go next?” Tamera asked. “I don’t know, Sunlit Tides maybe, or Midnight Hollow. Oh wait, that’s good idea, Midnight Hollow, probably the place that suits me, ha ha ha” the old woman said laughing, “By the way, please sit down, and tell me what’s your problem?”.
Chris and Tamera then took a seat. “Well, we want to know if you can help us found... Rainbow Gem” Chris said. “Rainbow Gem? Oh, it’s so rare, what make you so interested in that gem?” the old woman asked. “Uhh...”, “Wait, don’t tell me, I can read your mind” the old woman said before Chris could answer. The old woman then hold Chris’ forehead, made Chris felt awkward and little scared. “Yes, yes... I see...” the old woman said, “You want to turn your Imaginary Friend real, isn’t it?”. “Huh? How do you know that?” Chris surprised. “I’m a fortune teller, young man, I know everything, including what’s in your mind” the old woman said.
“Can you help us where we will be able to find that gem?” Tamera asked. “Well, give me a few seconds darl” the old woman said looking at her crystal ball, she then casted a spell. “She’s creepy” Chris whispered, Tamera only smiled. “AHA! I FOUND IT!” the old woman suddenly said loudly, surprising Chris. “Do you found the gem location?” Tamera asked. “Yes, I can see there’s at least one Rainbow Gem in this town” she said. “Where is it?” Chris asked. “It’s in... Uh Oh...” the old woman seemed surprised. “Where!?” Chris asked again in a louder voice.
“It’s in Sunset Valley’s old mine” she repiled. “Great! Now let’s we go to the old mine and find the gem there!” Chris exclaimed. “Don’t be hasty young man!” the old woman said, “that place is dangerous for a child like you”. “I know, but...” Chris said. “You need at least an adult to accompany you” she said again. “Ugh...” Chris couldn’t said anything. “Don’t be sad Chris, at least we knew where we can find the Rainbow Gem” Tamera said consoling him.
----
“Thanks for your help ma’am” Tamera said “How much I must pay?”. “No, no, please, it’s free just for you” the old woman said rubbing Tamera’s head. “Say hello for Lynn, okay?” she said again. “Okay, goodbye ma’am!” Tamera said saying goodbye to the old woman. “Who’s Lynn?” Chris asked. “Huh? It’s my mother’s name” Tamera answered, “Oh, I forget you don’t know my parents yet, ha ha ha!” she said laughing.
“By the way, I think it’s time we should go there!” Chris said. “Go where?” Tamera asked. “Of course the old mine, we need to find that Rainbow Gem” Chris said. “But we can’t go there alone, we need an adult to accompany us” Tamera said. “Yeah, you right” Chris said.
[[File:Alex,_Chris,_Tamera.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris and Tamera meet Alex in the park]]“Hi Chris” someone called greeting him. Chris then turned around. “Oh hi Alex” Chris greeted back, it was Alex Curtiz. “What are you two doing here?” Alex asked. “Well, we just discussing about how we can go to Sunset Valley’s old mine” Crhis said. “The old mine?” Alex raised his left eyebrow “Why do you want to go that creepy old mine?” he asked. “Well, I... I want to find Rainbow Gem, the fortune teller there told us that we can found the gem somewhere in the old mine” Chris explained.
“Rainbow Gem? For what?” Alex asked again. “Uh, it’s hard to explain but I really need that gem” Chris said. “Well, I don’t know what make you so interested in that mine, or maybe that gem, but considering that place is dangerous...”, “Yeah I know” Chris said cutting Alex’s word, “We need an adult to accompany us”. “Well, if you really want to find that Rainbow Gem, I’ll accompany you” Alex said volunteering. “Really? Are you serious?” Chris asked, Alex only nodded. “Great! Thank you very much Al!” Chris said shaking Alex’s hand.
“Okay then if that so, let’s go to the old mine!” Tamera exclaimed.

[[File:Creepy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Creepy old mine]]
After they bought some equipment, Chris, Tamera, and Alex arrived in the old mine. “You’re right, this place is so creepy” Tamera commented. “But it won’t stop me from finding that gem!” Chris said as he tried to enter the mine. “Chris wait!” Alex said stopping Chris, “You two stay back, let me try to open it!” Alex said as he opened the wooden boards which blocked the mine entrance.
“Okay, done!” Alex said. “Great! Let’s get in!” Chris said. “Hold on!” Alex said stopping Chris again. “What now!?” Chris protested. “I think, I should be the one who get in first” Alex said “For precautions, if something happens." “Well I guess so...” Chris said.
Alex then entered the mine carefully. The mine was so dark, but luckily, his cellphone had a flashlight feature. “It’s okay! You two can get in!” Alex said. “Okay Tamera, let’s go” Chris said. “But Chris...” Tamera said. “What’s wrong?” Chris asked. “I’m scared” Tamera claimed. “Come on, don’t be afraid, I will protect you” Chris said winking. The two entered the mine, Tamera held Chris’ arm. “Okay, I think we should start digging” Chris said. “Are you sure you can do it?” Alex asked. “Yep” Chris answered, “Tamera you stay back”. “O-okay” Tamera said. “Okay, are you ready?” Alex asked. “Of course” Chris said. And then, the two started digging the area.

''Meanwhile, at the Redfield household''
“I'm really worried about Chris” Jean said, “Do you think he really went to find the rainbow gem?” “I have no idea.” Leona said. “I think I should search for him” Jean said leaving her room. “Hey, Jean wait! I'm coming with you!” Leona said.
“Girls, where are you going?” John asked. “We must find Chris!” Jean answered. “Chris? What happened?” John asked again, but the twins didn’t answer as they already get on to their bike and Jean pedaled very quickly.
----
''Back to the mine''
After hours digging and exploring the mine, Chris, Tamera, and Alex didn’t find anything. “Chris, I think we should go back right now” Tamera suggested “It’s already dark” “No! We must stay until we find that gem!” Chris exclaimed as he continued to dig “Besides, it’s still 6:00 P.M, there still three hours left until our curfew and four hours for Alex!”
“Chris, don’t impose yourself,” Alex said, but Chris didn’t listen as he kept digging. “Fine, okay then, I will continue digging too” Alex said. One hour passed, two hours passed, and finally three hours passed. It was 9:00 P.M, but they still didn’t find anything. “C-Chris...” Tamera called, but Chris didn’t answer as he continue digging.

[[File:Lily_and_Lynn_(1).jpg|thumb|200px|Lynn asked Lily about Tamera's whereabout]]''Back to the Redfield house''
“It’s already past curfew and Chris isn’t home yet...” Lily said worrying. “I have contacted Molly and Mr. Sekemoto but they said Chris isn't there. I hope John, Leona, and Jean found him” Lily then took a seat and started to thinking. “Wait, maybe he’s in Mrs. Gerardo's house, maybe I should call them!"
Later, someone knocked the door very loudly, “Mrs. Redfield? Mrs. Redfield?” a woman's voice heard. Lily opened the door “Oh, Mrs. Gerardo, I just about to make a phone call,” Lily greeted her, the woman was Lynn Gerardo, Tamera’s mother. “Mrs. Redfield, do you know where my daughter is? It’s already past curfew and she isn’t home yet”. “Wait, your daughter is missing too!?” Lily surprised. “So your son has not come home yet either?” Lyn asked. “Y-yeah, I thought he made a visit to your house!” Lily claimed. “No, he didn’t” Lynn said, “I also thought that my daughter made a visit here” “My gosh...” Lily said, “I think, I think we should find them together!”
==Chapter 31: Big Steve Underwood (Part 1)==
“It’s useless...” Chris said in disapoinment, “I can’t find anything!”. Alex and Tamera could see that Chris was very sad. “Chris, don’t push yourself” Charlie’s voice heard through Chris’ head, Chris brought him all this time. “We can continue tomorrow” Charlie said again.
Chris then stood, he wiped his sweat. “Alright then guys, I think we should home now” Chris said “We will continue tomorrow”. Alex and Tamera agreed. “Let’s go home” Chris said.
[[File:AST_Big_Steve.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [[Big Steve Underwood|Mysterious man]]]]They were about to leave when suddenly...
“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING IN MY HOUSE!?” a voice heard, echoed from the deeper side of the mine. Chris, Tamera, and Alex surprised, they saw a middle-aged man appeared before them. “Who are you?” Alex asked. “Me? I should be the one who ask!” the man said, “Who are you and what are you doing in my house!?”. “Oh, uh, my name is Chris, this is my friend Tamera, and this is my neighbor Alex” Chris answered. “Chris, I’m scared” Tamera whispered.
“And what make you come here!?” the man said. “W-we come here to find... uh... Rainbow Gem” Chris said haltingly. “What gem?” The man said. “Rainbow Gem! We come here to find a Rainbow Gem!” Chris clarified. “Rainbow Gem?” the man said “You mean Rainbow Gem like this?”. Chris, Tamera, and Alex stunned, they saw the man held a beautiful, shined, and multi-colored gem on his hand. “There it is...” Chris said “The Rainbow Gem”.
----
''Meanwhile''
“Jean look!” Leona said. “What is it Leona?” Jean asked stopping her bike. “Look there, is that Chris’ bike?” Leona said pointing at three bicycles parked near the old mine area, she could recognize of them was belong to Chris. “You are right!” Jean said, “And hey, I also know that blue-colored bike, it’s Alex’s!”. “Do you mean that Alex with him?” Leona wondered. “Maybe...” Jean said “let’s we check it first!”.
----
''Back to the old mine''
“NEVER!” the man said yelling “This gem is mine! I won’t allow anyone steal it from me!”. “Then we will buy it, we will pay as much as you want!” Chris said. “If you really want to have this gem, then you must beat me, little boy!” the man exclaimed. “Beat you, you mean ''fight''?” Alex asked. “No” the man said “But you must beat me in...”
“Hello, Chris? Are you here?” a voice heard from the outside of the mine. “It’s my sister!” Chris exlaimed. “Your sister?” the man asked. Jean and Leona arrived in the mine, “Chris!” Jean said rushing after she saw Chris there, followed by Leona. “Oh thank God, Chris, what are you doing here? You make us worried” Jean said hugging her brother tightly, "Ugh, Jean, I can't breathe!" Chris said. “Who’s that?” Leona asked seeing the man who stood before them.
“Oh yeah, I forget to introduce myself” the man said, “everyone call me Big Steve Underwood, and this mine is my house!”. “Big Steve Underwood?” Alex surprised “No, that’s impossible, Big Steve Underwood was already died several years ago!”. “No, that wasn't me, that was my brother, everyone often mistaken him as me” Big Steve said explaining. “Who is Big Steve Underwood?” Tamera asked in confusion.
“It doesn’t matter who I am little girl, what matter now is if you really want this Rainbow Gem, you must beat me in a game!” Big Steve claimed. “What kind of game?” Jean asked. “Follow me!” Big Steve said. He walked in to the deeper side of the mine, followed by Chris and the others. "Man, I have bad feeling about this" Alex thought.
==Chapter 32: Big Steve Underwood (Part 2)==
The group arrived in a large room located in the deeper side of the mine. “Welcome, to my house!” Big Steve said. The place was like ordinary living room, there were television, sofa, stereo, and more, but off course they were old types. “Where did he get these stuffs?” Leona wondered. “Probably he scavenged it in the junkyard” Jean assumed. “All right, what kind of game do you talking about?” Alex asked.
Big Steve opened his cupboard and took something from it: cards. "This, I challenge you to play Poker!" Big Steve exclaimed. "Poker!? Are you serious?" Alex said. "Yes" Big Steve said, "Here's the deal, if you can beat me, I will give you this Rainbow Gem, but, if I win... you girls must stay with me here, ha ha ha ha ha!" he said pointing at Jean and Leona. "What!? You... You are freak! An old-pervert!" Leona yelled. "I'm lonely, I've been single for 25 years since my wife left me, sometimes I need girls to accompany me, especially beautiful girls in your age" Big Steve claimed. "Ugh, you are so creepy" Jean said in disgust.
[[File:Alex_vs._Big_Steve_1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Alex accepted Big Steve's challenge]]
They became quiet for a moment.
"Very Well, I will be your opponent!" Alex said suddenly. "Huh? Are you serious!?" Jean surprised. "Don't worry Jeanie, trust me" Alex said convincing. "Alex, do you ever play poker before?" Chris asked. "Don't worry Chris, just trust me" Alex said smiling. "Hmph, you really brave young man" Big Steve praised "Can you tell me your name?". "Curtiz, Alex Curtiz" Alex answered. "Curtiz eh? I like your confidence" he said.
Everyone watched solemnly. "Dear God, please let Alex win this game" Jean said praying. "Well then, let the game begins!" Big Steve exclaimed.
==Chapter 33: Big Steve Underwood (Part 3)==
The game started, both Alex and Big Steve shuffled their respective cards, there were 20 chips foe. Each players got 20 chips and five cards, which only allowed to be exchanged once. The goal was to got better cards than the other player. Big Steve then took two more cards. “Your turn kiddo” Big Steve said. “Fine, if you take two, I take three cards” Alex said “And I wagger two chips”. “Oh I’m scared, do you have any good cards?” Big Steve said, but Alex didn’t answered. “Let I try... I also wagger two chips” Big Steve said waggering his two chips.
“All right, show your cards now” Big Steve said. “Two pairs: Eight and Nine” Alex said revealing two eights and two nines. “Ha ha ha, sorry Alex, mine is Two Pairs: Jack and Queen” Big Steve said taking Alex’s chips “You lose”. “What!?” Leona surprised. “Alex, do you really know how to play this game?” Jean asked worrying, but Alex didn’t answer. “But you almost got me, you’ve some talent” Big Steve said praising. Alex now had 18 chips.
“Oh gosh, Alex has lose two chips” Leona said. “Okay, Next game, deal!” Alex exclaimed. The game continued. “Hmph, I have three kings now, I may win this round too” Big Steve thought looking at his cards. “Okay, I will take one card” Big Steve said taking a card, it was another King.
However...
“What’s up Alex? You are not looking at your cards?” Big Steve asked realizing Alex didn’t look at his cards. “These Cards...” Alex said “...I don’t need to change them”. “Huh! What!?” everyone surprised. “A-Alex, are you sure about this!?” Leona asked. “Huh, are you bluffing or something? Just change your cards now!” Big Steve said. “I said, I don’t need to change them, I will play with these five cards” Alex said clarifying. “I know that! But why you are not even looking at your cards!?” Big Steve asked again. But Alex didn’t answer.
“Alex, what are you planning right now?” Jean thought.
==Chapter 34: Big Steve Underwood (Part 4)==
“I wagger nine of my remaining chips” Alex said “I betting all of them”. “What!?” Everyone shocked. “But Alex, if you lose again, you will only have nine chips remaining!” Leona protested. “I guess the tension is making you lose your mind, isn’t it?” Big Steve said “Very well, I waggers 15 chips” Big Steve said.
Everyone became silent, “Hmph, seems like I manage to scare him. It’s impossible to him to wagger his remaining chips” Big Steve thought, a smirk shown in his face. “Well, if that's so, I wagger my other six chips as well” Alex said. “WHAT!?” Big Steve shocked. “A-Alex, are you sure? What if he has better cards then you? He will take all of your chips and you will only had 3 left!” Leona said. “That’s fine, that's enough” Alex said. “Darn it Alex! Stop messing around!” Leona said again holding Alex’s collar.
“He... I never expected to meet a kid like this...” Big Steve thought sweating “Why is he really confident with this? Does he really have good cards? Is he cheating?” “What’s wrong Mr. Underwood? Do you want to make a raise?” Alex said, challenging.
“No... I have four kings and five of clubs in my hand” Big Steve thought “I will lose if he has Straight Flush, Four Aces, or a Five a Kind with a Joker... Does he already has one of those cards?” “I’m thirsty” Alex said “Hey, uh, Tamera right? Can you bring that Nectar to me, please?”. “E-eh, yes, sure” Tamera said, she brought a bottle of nectar and gave it to Alex.
“Fine! I will take you now!” Big Steve exclaimed. “Hold it!” Alex said “I haven’t raised you yet”. “WHAT!” everyone shocked again. “Raise!? Don't tell me you will...” Big Steve said. “Yes, you're right, I wagger my three last chips” Alex said drinking his Nectar. “WHAT!? BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHIPS LEFT!” Jean shocked. “Alex, are you crazy!?” Chris exclaimed “What if you lose!?”.
“STOP BLUFFING YOU BRAT!” Big Steve said in anger. "And yeah, since there are no chips left, can I wagger with something else?" Alex said. "WHAT!? YOU WILL MAKE A RAISE AGAIN!?" Big Steve said. Alex then took something from his pocket. "This is my father's ATM card, he let me borrow it, there are 65,000 Simoleons in my father's account" Alex said, "I bet them all,"
[[File:Alex_vs._Big_Steve_2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Stop messing around Curtiz!"]]"Your father's ATM card!? Alex have you really lost your mind!?" Leona said, but Alex didn't answer Leona's question. Everyone there became more nervous, they were sweating, panting, they never expected that Alex had this kind of confidence. "STOP MESSING AROUND CURTIZ, I KNOW YOU ARE BLUFFING!" Big Steve said.
"I have wagger everyting I have" Alex said confidently "If I win, then, you will give us that Rainbow Gem" "Ugh" Big Steve could's say anything, he was afraid with Alex's confidece. "A-Alex, you are so confident in your cards..." Jean thought "That means you will win for sure, right?".
"So, what will you do next, Mr. Underwood?" Alex asked. Big Steve sweated more. He then looking at Alex's eyes, he felt that Alex had no fear. He then sighed, he put his cards on the table and then...
"I... I give up" Big Steve said, much to everyone surprised. "I give up, you win" he said again. Everyone became silence for a moment, and then... "ALEEEX!" Jean said hugging Alex "Thank God, you won! YOU WON!". Jean, Leona, Chris, and Tamera cheered him. Big Steve then took the Rainbow Gem and gave it to them. "Whoa, it's so shiny" Tamera said commenting.
Meanwhile, "Big Steve had four kings, I wonder, what did you have Al?" Leona became curious about Alex's cards, she then took the cards from the table. "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?" Leona said in shock. "What's wrong?" Jean said. "I... I can't believe you gambled everything with these... Really bad cards!" Leona said, revealing Alex's cards that showed he had no chance of winning.
"Well, I even didn't know what cards I had, if I had known, I would have probably had a heart attack" Alex said. "I can't believe this" Big Steve said examining Alex's cards, "But, you really have good confidence" he praised. "Thanks" Alex said.
"Well Alex, if you don't mind, what about we have a rematch some day?" Big Steve said. "Well, I don't know" Alex said smiling.
Suddenly...
Jean's cellphone rang, it was from Lily. "Yes mom?" Jean answered it. "Jean, thank God" Lily said "Where are you? Have you found Chris and Tamera? Also Mr. and Mrs. Curtiz said that Alex was missing too and...", "Don't worry mom, we have found them" Jean said. "Really, oh, thank God... Where are you now?" Lily asked.
"We are in the old mine right now" Jean answered. "Old mine!? What are you doing there!?" Lily surprised. "Well, uh, it's a long story" Jean said.
----
Later, the Redfield, the Gerardo, and the Curtiz parents arrived in the old mine and reunited with their children. "Oh thank God, Tamera" Lynn and her husband, Anton approached hugging their daughter "I'm glad you are okay".
"Oh Alex, you make us worried" Ana said hugging Alex. "I'm sorry mom, Chris and Tamera needed someone to accompany them" Alex explained "And yeah, my cellphone battery was out and...", "You're really brave son" Dieter said praising Alex. "Thank you dad".
Meanwhile...
"Mom, dad, sisters, I'm terribly sorry, I really was obsessed to find this gem" Chris said. "It's okay, as long as you are alright" Lily said, "I am also responsible for this since I was the one who gave you that book". Lily then approached the Gerardos and the Curtiz families. "I'm sorry everyone, this is my responsibility" Lily said.
"It's okay Lily, it's fine," Ana and Lynn said.
"Guys, it's already late" John said looking at his watch "I think it's time to go home". "Yeah, you are right" Dieter said "See you tomorrow everyone!". The three families then separated, returning to their respective homes.
"Ah, it's really good to have family" Big Steve said watching.
==Chapter 35: Swimming Time==
[[File:Jean's_lab_scene.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jean tried to made the potion]]
Jean was in her lab trying to figure out how to made the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion. She had bought some books to help her. “Jean, you look tired” Leona said entering the lab “You should rest”. “Yeah, you are right...” Jean said put off her glasses and rubed her eyes.
“Bella invited us to go swimming in the public pool, wanna go?” Leona asked. "That’s great idea” Jean said smiling "Let's we go there!". The twins then went to their room and took their respective swimsuits.
At the front yard, Lily greeted them. “Where are you going, girls?” Lily asked. “We will go swimming with Bella and the others” Leona answered. “Oh, okay, take care!” Lily said.

The girls gathered in Bella’s house as usual. Leona, Jean, Bella, Kaylynn, and Annie were already there. “Thanks for inviting me too Bella” Annie said. “No problem Annie” Bella said smiling. “Jeez, where is Darlene right now? don’t tell me she locked herself again in her own bathroom” Leona wondered.
Suddenly, Bella got a message in her smartphone, it was from Darlene. “HI GIRLS, I’M SORRY, I THINK I CAN NOT JOIN YOU RIGHT NOW. MY BROTHER ETHAN WILL BE GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY AND WE HAVE TO GO AND ATTEND HIS GRADUATION CEREMONY...” Darlene said in the text “...SORRY IF IT IS SO SUDDEN, HAVE FUN!”.
“Well, if that’s so, I think we should go right now” Bella said.

On their way to the Pool Center, the girls had conversation about the upcoming prom. “So, Leona, it seems that you the only who didn’t get a date for the prom” Bella said. “Yeah, I know” Leona said “Yeah, they’re many handsome and popular guys who ask me but, they are not my types”.
“That’s interesting, Enrico also said the same thing whenever he asked about his date for the prom” Annie said.
Everyone stopped for a moment and stared at Leona. “What are you looking at?” Leona asked.
----
The girls arrived in Le Petit Shark Pool Center.
“What do you think about my new bikini?” Bella asked showing her new, red colored bikini to the girls. “Whoa, it’s so cool!” Annie commented. “Eh Bella, I always wonder, do you have any other colors for your clothes beside red?” Leona asked. “Well, red is my favorite, you may know that, most of my clothes are red, just like you always wear black-colored outfits like your father” Bella answered. “At least I have one in white” Leona said.
[[File:Calientes_in_pool_2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Dina and Nina again!]]When the girls about to leaved the change room, they met two other girls who entered the room, Dina and Nina. “Oh, it’s you” Dina said curtly. “Oh, hi Dina” Leona greeted her with same manner. “Hey Nina, I think we should go to another Pool” Dina said to her sister “This place is very stuffy”. “Well, if that so, uh, we can go to Lofty Cerulean Blue Pool” Nina said suggesting. “Oh, great idea, let’s we go there” Dina said. The Caliente twins leave the lot, heading to another community pool.
“What the heck is wrong with them?” Kaylynn asked commenting the Caliente twins. “Forget about them, we’re here to having fun!” Leona exclaimed.
==Chapter 36: Leona and Enrico==
Several days had passed. Every high school students were busy decorating the main hall for the upcoming prom. Kaylynn, who was selected as the master of ceremonies, was seen practicing with her friend. Meanwhile, Mortimer and some of his classmates were designing a banner.
"How about this?" Skip Javeed asked. "Well, it's great, but I think we should place this clip art here" Mortimer said. Later, Enrico appeared approaching them, "Hi Mortimer, sorry I'm late" he said. "Do you bring the stuff?" Mortimer asked. "Sure, they're in my backpack" Enrico said. Mortimer then examined Enrico's backpack and took some stuff he needed. "Good job, thanks Enrie," he said.
"Okay then, I think I should go right now, I have a part-time job" Enrico said looking at his watch. "You have a part-time job?" Mortimer asked. "Yes, I have a part-time job in the grocery store," Enrico explained "See you tomorrow, guys!". He then leaved the school and went to the grocery store.
"Man, it's so hot right now" Enrico said wiping his sweat with his handkerchief. Enrico then stopped for a moment and looking at his handkerchief, it was the one given by Leona. He suddenly remembered the day when Leona kissed him after he saved her from bullies. "Oh man, since that day, I'm always thinking about Leona..." Enrico thought "It feels like... my old feeling on her has been resurfaced."

''It was eleven years ago in Twinbrook, the Delgados just arrived. The young Enrico Delgado was so happy with their new home. "Hey dad, can I go to the park right now?" he asked. "Well, sure, you can go there while waiting for us to unpack our stuff" Bob said. "Great! Let's go Annie!" Enrico said happily.''
''However, when Enrico was about to cross the road, another child appeared riding a rollerskate. "Hey! Watch out!" the child yelled, but Enrico failed to notice and the two collided. "OUCH!" both fell to the ground. "A-ah, I'm sorry, are you okay?" Enrico stood up and checked on the child with rollerskate. "I'm... I'm okay" the child said "I should be the one who apologize." "A girl?" Enrico could noticed that the child was a girl from her voice.''
''The girl then opened her helmet and goggles. Enrico stunned, a beautiful, tomboyish girl with brown-colored hair stood before him. "Hey, it seems you are my new neighbor. Name's Leona, Leona Anne Redfield, my house is next to yours there" the girl said introducing herself "what's your name?" Enrico didn't answer, he was still stunned looking at Leona, making her slightly uncomfortable. "Err, are you okay?" Leona asked. But Enrico didn't answered. "Weird..." she thought.''
''"Leona, honey! Lunch is ready!" a voice heard from the Redfield house, it was Leona's mother, Lily. "I'm coming mom!" Leona answered. She then put her helmet and goggles on and ride to her house. "Oh, hi new neighbor, nice to meet you" Lily said greeting the Delgados. "Nice to meet you too" the Delgados said.''
''"Mommy, mommy" Enrico said suddenly. "What's wrong Enrie?" Tina asked. "Is that... Is that an angel?" Enrico asked, making his family laugh.''

''Back to present time, in the Redfield house''
"Jean, Leona, can I ask your favor?" Lily asked. "What is it mom?" Jean asked. "Can one of you go to the grocery store to buy some ingredients, it's almost dinner time" Lily said. "Well, maybe I can" Leona volunteered "I also want to buy some new shampoo".
"Well, if that's so, here the buy list and the money." Lily said giving Leona the buy list and some simoleons. "Don't forget the exchange" she said again. "Sure mom" Leona said before leaving.

''At the grocery store''
"Let's see..." Leona said reading her buy list, "eggs, onions, two milk gallons, and..." "BUMP!" Leona bumped into one of the employee, made him fell. "Uh, oh, sorry" Leona said trying to help the employee. "It's okay, it's okay" the employee said standing up, and... "Huh? Leona?" the employee surprised, it was Enrico. "Huh? Enrie? What are you doing here?" Leona asked. "I've part-time job here, this is my first day." Enrico said.
"Oh, I see" Leona said nodding, "By the way, I need to buy these ingredients, and some shampoo too." "Well, I think I can help you to find them." Enrico said. "Really? Thanks Enrie!" Leona said hapiily. "Not a problem, this is my job, ha ha ha!" Enrico said.

After several minutes, Leona finally done shopping. "Thanks for everything Enrie" she said. "No problem Leona" Enrico said. Leona then gazed into Enrico's eyes, making him blush. "W-what's wrong? Is there something on my face" Enrico asked nervously.
"Nothing but, I think you really changed" Leona said "Unlike when you were child, you slightly... matured". "Oh really, ha ha ha! Y-yeah, everyone said that" Enrico laughed "And yeah, I think you also changed, no one expected that a tomboyish girl like you can be this... feminine". "Really? Well, actually, I'm still tomboy you know" Leona said. The two then laughed.
"Well, it's time to me to go home, see you tomorrow Enrie!" Leona said. "Leona wait!" Enrico said. "Yes?" Leona said. "Nothing... Just take care" Enrico said. Leona only smiled before returning home.

"Oh, hi Jean" Alex said in surprise "Whoa, y-you are so beautiful tonight!". Jean smiled, "Thank you" she said "Come in, you want a drink?". "S-sure, I'm thirsty" Alex said entering the house.
Alex sat at the sofa and turning on the TV. "Where are your parents?" Alex asked. "They bring Chris to doctor" Jean answered. "Huh? What happened to him? Is he sick?" Alex asked again. "Not really, he was eating spicy foods too much and... yeah you might know what happened then" Jean explained. "I see, hope he'll get well soon" Alex said.
"Why I must wear this kind of dress!?" a voice heard from Jean and Leona's room. "Huh, what happen in your room?" Alex surprised hearing the noises. "Oh, nothing, it's just Bella and Darlene come here and trying to give Leona a makeover" Jean explained "You remember what Leona wore last prom, right?". "Err, yeah, you're right, it's for her own good." Alex said remembering Leona's look in the last prom.
[[File:Leona_formal_dress.jpg|thumb|200px|Leona]]"Jean... and oh, hi Alex!" Bella appeared from the room "Darlene and I finally finished making over Leona and... Tada!" Leona appeared, she wore same dress like Jean's, but in black color. Her make up was perfect thanks to Bella and her hair also perfectly styled. "I feel weird..." Leona said in upset. "But you are so beautiful Leona. I'm sure there will be so many guys who will ask you for dance" Darlene said "And, oh yeah, don't forget Enrico, he probably will ask you for a date, ha ha ha!".

"Would you like a drink?" the guy said offering a juice. Leona surprised, "Enrie?" she said "I thought you were not coming." The guy was none other than Enrico. "Yeah, you know, I was so bored and I need to watch Annie here," Enrico said pointing that her sister, Annie, who came with her new boyfriend, Andrew Gerardo.
"I see, well, I think Andrew will be a good boyfriend for her" Leona said. "Yeah, I know, I just want to make sure that she got a right guy" Enrico said. "And how about you? Have you already found the right girl for you?" Leona asked. "Oh, well, yeah, I don't know, ha ha ha!" Enrico said laughing.
"Oh, by the way, where's... uh... where's your date?" Enrico asked. "I don't have a date. It's just me..." Leona answered. "Well, if that so... do you want to, uh..." Enrico suddenly became nervous. "What?" Leona asked. "Do you want to dance with me?" Enrico asked. Leona then smiled, "Oh, why didn't you say so?" she said "Let's show them a real dance!"

Meanwhile at the outside of the building.
"Jean?" Alex said approaching Jean who just standing there "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I suddenly feel uncomfortable inside" Alex then gave her a glass of juice. "This is for you" he said. "Oh, thank you" Jean said.
"Hey look!" Alex said pointing at the sky "there are so many stars tonight". "You are right..." Jean said "...it's so unfortunate I didn't bring my telescope, ha ha" "Hey look at that, is that a falling star?" Alex said noticing a falling star. He and Jean watched it in awe. "Whoa, it is so beautiful" Jean said, Alex only nodded.
"Hey, let's go inside" Alex said. "Alex?" Jean said. "What is it?" Alex asked. Jean then approached him. "Do you really need to go?" Jean asked. "What do you mean?" Alex said, confused. "I mean, do you really need to move to another town?" Jean said, clarifying her question. "Well, I've told you that my parents transfered to the branch office in Roaring Heights" Alex said reminding Jean "So... yeah..."
"Don't..." Jean said. "Huh, what did you say?" Alex asked. "Don't go!" Jean said. She held Alex's hands and suddenly, she cried...
"Please Alex! Don't go! Don't leave me!" Jean said hugging him. "J-Jean, what happened?" Alex surprised. "I don't want you to go!" Jean said "I... I love you Alex! I don't want you to leave me!" Alex was really surprised, "But I thought you only saw me as friend" he said "You even said that..." "I've made a mistake! I've lied to my own feelings!" Jean said "I-I knew it's already late for me to confess but, I... I really love you!"
[[File:Jean_Alex_prom_kiss.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Alex and Jean kissed]]Alex couldn't said anything. Jean still cried, Alex could see that Jean felt regret. "Jeanie" Alex said suddenly. "Y-Yes" Jean said haltingly. Alex then gazed into Jean, he closed his eyes, and then...
Jean surprised, she couldn't believed that Alex kissed her. Jean's heart was beating. She trembled. She could feel that Alex's lips touched hers. Jean then closed her eyes too and kissed him back and her sadness was finally gone. "I love you too" Alex said "I always liked you," Jean smiled, she was very happy. Alex wiped Jean's tears and stroke her cheek. "Thank you, Alex" Jean said.

Meanwhile at the corner
"Urgh, disgusting, I wanna' threw up" Dina said, commenting about Leona and Enrico. "You're just jealous because you didn't get any date tonight, aren't you?" Nina said. "Shut up? How about you, you also didn't have a date!" Dina said. Nina didn't said anything.
Suddenly,the Caliente sisters approached by a group of men. They were the bullies who requested by Dina to attack Leona couple of days ago. "Hi Dina, how are you?" the bully said, greeting. "What do you want?" Dina asked coldly. "Well, uh, you know, I didn't get any date tonight, and it seems that you're alone" he said "If you don't mind, wouldn't you...", "Became your date and dance with you?" Dina said cutting his sentence, "Sorry, I'm no interested, bye!". She and Nina then leaved them.
"Geez, she's really cold" one bully said. "Yeah, I know, that's why I really like her" the bully leader said "By the way, do you have some cigarretes?". "Wait, I thought you were stopped smoking" his subordinate said. "Nah, just give me your cigarrete" the leader ordered. He then turned the cigarrete and enjoyed it. "Ahh, feels better".
After several minutes.
"Hi boss, look, there is a beautiful girl sitting alone there" one of the bully said. "You are right!" the leader said, disposed his cigarrete "I got this!". The bullies escorted the leader approaching the girl. They didn't realize that the cigarrete was still burned.
----
07.30 P.M. One and half hour since the party started
Everyone were still enjoying their night, the couples were seen slow dancing. "Err, Enrie, did you smell something?" Leona asked. "What is it?" Enrico asked. "I don't know, but I smells something" Leona said. The two then stopped their dance. Enrico begun sniffing. "Y-you are right" Enrico said "It smells like... Something burned".
The room suddenly covered by smoke, and....
"FIRE! THERE'S A FIRE!" someone suddenly yelled. Everyone looked at the corner of the room, there was fire starting. "Oh my god..." Leona said. "EVERYONE LEAVE THE ROOM, NOW!" one of the teachers said, directing everyone to geat out from the building. Everyone begun to panic, they rushed, running to the exit door. "RUN! RUN!". The fire was spreading so fast. "THIS IS THE WORST PROM EVER!" Darlene yelled.
The students were able to out from the building on the time, half of the building now burned. "Is anyone saved!?" the teachers made sure that everyone saved. "Dina! DINA WHERE ARE YOU!?" Nina suddenly yelled "I CAN'T FOUND DINA! DINAAAAAA". Everyone surprised. "Don't tell me she is..." Leona said looking at the burned building.
Realizing that Dina was still inside, Leona rushed back in to the building. "REDFIELD!" the teachers yelled. "LEONA, DON'T!" Jean and Enrico yelled in unison.
==Chapter 39: Reconciliation==
Inside the burning building, the smoke blocked Leona's view. "DINA!" Leona yelled, calling for Dina, "DINA WHERE ARE YOU!?" There was no answer. "*''Cough''*" Leona started coughing, "I must find her as soon as possible!" she said.
Suddenly, another coughing sound was heard from the corner. Leona followed the voice, and finally found Dina. "DINA!" Leona yelled. Leona ran into Dina, she saw that Dina was stunned. Leona knew that Dina was pyrophobic due to her tragic childhood. Leona knew that now the fire caused Dina to remember the day when her father, Flamenco, died.
"Dina! Dina!" Leona shook Dina's body, Dina's sense returned as she was surprised seeing Leona there. "Le-Leona? What are you..." Dina said. "Come on Dina, stand up, we need to get out of here!" Leona said. "I... I can't, my leg!" Dina said holding her right leg. Leona that checked on Dina's right leg, it seemed that she twisted her leg.
"Let me help you then" Leona said helping Dina to stood up, carried her. "Why?" Dina suddenly said "Why would you help me?". But Leona didn't answer and kept moving.
The smoke became thicker, the temperature of the room increased. Leona started coughing. Dina realized that Leona inhaled too much smoke. However, Dina herself also felt the same since she was longer trapped inside the building. "Leona... *''cough''*, leave me alone..." Dina said "You... You don't need to worry about me".
"Are you crazy? I would never leave my friend!" Leona yelled. "F-friend?" Dhe asked "Le... Leona, do you still...". "*''cough''* Dina, listen... *''cough''*, I knew that we didn't get along lately in these two years, but...*''cough''*" Leona said coughing "But... you must know. Whatever happened, you... *''cough''*, you're still my friend".
Dina surprised, she couldn't believe what she heard.
Suddenly, she remembered the time when she and her family arrived in Sunset Valley.
----
''Just a week after Flamenco's death, Dina, with Nina and Katrina moved in to Sunset Valley to start a new life. Dina however, couldn't forget her father's tragic death and became self-contained and rarely spoke with other people.''
''However, one day when visiting Central Park, Dina met Leona for the first time. Leona accidentally hit Dina with her baseball, fortunately, Dina wasn't hurt. "Oops sorry, I didn't mean to" Leona said. "A-ah, it's okay" Dina said giving the ball back to Leona. "Hey, are you new here? What's your name?" Leona asked nicely. "Dina" Dina answered. "Hi Dina, my name is Leona, nice to meet you" Leona introduced herself.''
''"Hey Leona, the water balloon fight is about to start!" Leona's friend, Bella, called. "I will be there!" Leona said "Hey, we are about to have a water balloon fight, wanna join?". "W-what, uh, I don't know" Dina said. "Come on, don't be shy, hey guys! We have new friend here!" Leona said pulling Dina's arm, "What? Wait!"''
''"After that, Dina finally could smile again. Leona became Dina's closest friend. Whatever Dina had a problem, the first person Dina would ask for advice was Leona.''
''Unfortunately, their relationship became strained during their freshman year in high school. Both Dina and Leona were good in sports and were recruited to the school's women basketball team. Dina felt that she was overshadowed by Leona since she saw Leona's ability was much better than her. She became more jealous when Leona crowned as MVP and became popular.''
''To make matters worse, Dina once had a boyfriend, but they broke up after she learned that her boyfriend also admired Leona and even, asked Leona for a date. Leona rejected his proposal, of course, but it made Dina completely despise her. During the training session, an angry Dina attacked Leona in front of their teammates. A fight broke between them which causing them suspended in a match.''
''Since then, Leona and Dina became enemy until now...''
----
Back to present time.
Leona became exhausted, she inhaled the smoke too much. "Dina, are you (*''cough''*) okay?" Leona said looking at Dina who almost fell unconscious. "My God..." Leona said. Leona continued walking, however...
Leona lost her balance, both she and Dina fell to the ground. She really had reached her limit and about to lose her consciousness. "Darn it..." Leona said "Maybe... maybe my time is up". She looked at Dina, only to find her already passing out. Leona then looked at the burned ceilings and shed tears. "Mom... Dad... Jeanie... Chris... everyone..." Leona said "I'm sorry...".
As Leona was about to lose her consciousness, a silhouette of a guy appeared before her. "There they are!" the guy yelled. The guy approached her, followed by two others. They were firefighters. "Quick! Give me the oxygen!" Leona could see the firefighter took a portable oxygen tank. However, just before the firefighter installed the oxygen on her, Leona passed out.
----
"Leona... Leona..."
A voice was heard, calling for Leona. Leona opened her eyes. Her head was still spinning. She then looked around and found that she already home in her room. In the room, there were not only her family, but also her friends: Bella, Darlene, Kaylynn, Annie, Mortimer, Alex, and of course, Enrico. "Oh my gosh, Leona, you really made us worried!" Lily said hugging her daughter. "You are so lucky the firefighters arrived on the time and saved you" John said.
Leona became quiet for a moment, but she suddenly remembered something. "Dina, what about Dina?" Leona asked. The door suddenly opened and someone entered the room. It was Dina, who came together with Nina and their mother, Katrina.
Leona got up from her bed and ran approaching Dina, hugging her. "Thank goodness, Dina, you are saved!" Leona said, but Dina was only quiet. "We come here to thank you for your attempt to save my daughter" Katrina said "you are really brave, Leona".
[[File:Leona_Dina_reconciled.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Reconciled]]"Leona, there's something Dina wants to talk with you about" Nina said, "Come on Dina, just tell her". Dina sighed, and she started talking. "I... I really wanna thank you for saving my life. I never expected that you still cared and would risk your life to help someone who always troubles you" Dina said "I... I don't how to say this but... I... I'm really sorry for all I've done" Everyone became quiet. Dina began crying "I... I knew I've been rude this whole time, I knew that I always gave you trouble, and, and I..."
"Dina..." Leona said, cutting Dina's sentence "I've already told you that whatever happened, you're still my friend" Dina was surprised, she was stunned for a moment. But later, a happy smile could be seen in her face. "Thank you, Leona" Dina said. The two then hugged each other, their feud was officially over and they became best friends again. Everyone smiled, and felt happy for them.
==Chapter 40: Departure==

Their neighbors: the Ursines, the Frios, the Wan-Goodards, and of course, the Redfield family were there to help. A car then stopped in front of the house.

Alex was sitting alone, looking at the beach scenery. "Alex." a girl voice suddenly heard, calling him from his back. Alex turned his head. The girl was none other than Jean.
Alex was stunned for a moment. "Hi Jean" Alex said "Whoa, you are so pretty in that dress". Jean smiled. "What are you doing here?" Jean asked. "Nothing, I'm just looking at this scenery... For the last time" Alex said. "I see..." Jean said.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Alex said. Jean nodded. "I will never forget how beautiful this place is." Alex said again. Jean didn't said anything, she looked sad. "Jean?" Alex said looking at Jean. "So you really need to go?" Jean said. Alex only nodded.
[[File:Jean_hug_Alex_.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"I will miss you"]] Jean begun to shed tears. Alex then stood up, "No, Jean, please don't cry" he said. He took Jean's glasses off and wiped her tears. "Jean, I promise, I will never forget you" Alex said smiling "Because you are very special to me". Jean then looking at Alex, "Do you promise?" she asked. "Yes, I promise" Alex said.
The two then became quiet for a moment. Jean then hugged Alex tightly, "I... I will miss you Al" she said. "I will miss you too" Alex said.
Unknown to them, Leona and Enrico, who also came to gave Alex a gift, watched them from far. Leona couldn't hold her tears, she could felt her twin sister's feeling. "I think, we should leave them" Enrico said "Come on, we will wait in the Curtiz house".

The car and the truck then moved, leaving the neighborhood. Alex turned his head, looking at his friends from the car. "Goodbye everyone" Alex thought "And goodbye... Jean".
"Goodbye Alex..." Jean said in a quiet tone.
==Chapter 41: Welcome, Charlie Redfield==
