“O-oh, sure, don’t worry” Charlie said, standing up.
“Charlie come on, let’s we go home, I will treat your wound” Sandi said. “Get in to my car, I will escort you” Kaylynn said “But first I must call the police to make sure that VJ Alvi will be imprisoned for a very long time”.

Charlie sighed, he then told John and Lily the whole story about what happened back in the alley.
“I see...” John said, “But you shouldn't act by yourself. You should call a cop or a nearby adult for help”. “You could call Enrico for help, he’s a cop...” Lily submitted, “Thank God Kaylynn was there”.
“Yeah, I’m sorry” Charlie said.
“It’s alright, just remember to call the cops if you found that kind of situation again, okay?” Lily said stroking Charlie’s hair.

In the next day, Jean and Leona were preparing themselves for attend their reunion. Meanwhile in Chris and Charlie's room, Chris and Charlie were also prepared to visit Ariana’s house for continue their practice.
“Are you sure okay Charl?” Chris asked.
“Y-Yeah, I’m good...” Charlie said “even though it still feels hurt a little.

“Hello?” Chris answered the phone call.
“Good morning Chris” Walter said from the phone, “I want to inform you that the registration for those who want participate in the band competition is already opened. You can sign your band up in our website”.
“Really? Thank you for the information, Mr.West!” Chris exclaimed.
“Sure, see you later in Bridgeport!” Walter said ending his call.

“Are you sure you don’t wanna’ ride?” Leona asked. “Nah, it’s okay” Chris said “We will take a cab”. “Okay then, good luck with your practice” Leona said.
Chris and Charlie then entered the cab and left.
A moment later, Jean went out from her room. “Leona, did you used my deodorant again?” Jean asked. “Te-he, sorry Jeanie” Leona said “Mine is out and I haven’t buy a new one”. “Yuck, no wonder it smells like it covered in your sweat. “That was mean...” Leona frowned.
“Whatever, Bella already in the Misc Master Karaoke now, she said that everyone is already there” Jean said.
The two then entered their car and heading to the Misc Master Karaoke.
After arriving in the place, they met Astrid. “Hi Astrid, where are the others?” Leona asked. “Maybe they are inside” Astrid said, “I just came too”. “Oh okay, let’s we go inside” Leona said.
[[File:AST3_support_cast.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The girls]]
Leona, Jean, and Astrid then entered the lot. They looked at their surrounding. There were so many people here.
“Now where are they...” Leona said looking for Bella and the others, "Do you guys find them?". "I can't, this place is too crowded" Astrid said.
“Hi girls, over here!” a voice heard, it was Darlene’s.
“Aw girls, I really missed you” Leona said.
The three women finally found where their friends were. There were Bella Bachelor, Darlene Bunch, Kaylynn Langerak, and Dina and Nina Caliente.
They were so happy for seeing each other again after four years.
“It looks like you never skip your training, isn’t it Leona?” Dina commented as she noticed the changes on Leona’s body shape.
“So, do you you enjoy your time as a medical student, Jean?” Kaylynn asked to Jean.
“Of course” Jean said “Being a doctor is my long lifetime wish. This is the only opportunity I have”.
“And how about you Astrid? Do you like being in Sim University?” Kaylynn asked.
“Well, yeah, kinda...” Astrid said with a straight face.
“By the way Kaylynn, Jean and I need to thank you that you saved our brother Charlie yesterday, we don’t know what would happen to him if you weren’t there” Leona said.
“Not a problem” Kaylynn said.
“Anyway, we are really curious about your engagement. Is that true you already engaged with one of your professors?” Leona asked.
“Yeah, we’re also curious too” Dina and Nina said in unison.
“Oh well...” Kaylynn said.
“Wait, you are already engaged? Oh NO! Looks like I’m the only one who still single here!” Darlene exclaimed, made everyone laughed.
“Easy Darlene, I’m still single too” Jean said.
“Yeah... at least for this time” Darlene said sarcastically “There’s a clear difference between '''can’t have a boyfriend''' and '''don’t have a boyfriend'''”.
“Err, Darlene, I’m single too...” Astrid said, but Darlene was still grumbling and everyone laughed.
“...” Jean said nothing, she only smiled a little.
----
Meanwhile in Sunset Valley’s entrance, a car was seen entering the town. The driver, a young adult man, stopped the car and disembarked. He looked at the town’s view and smiled.
“Ah, Sunset Valley, you don’t know how much I missed you” he said, “you really changed for a little bit”.
The young man then put a photo from his pocket. It was a photo of Jean Redfield when she was teen.
“I wonder if you ever want to meet me again, Jean” he said.
The man was none other than Alex Curtiz. He was here, in Sunset Valley.
==Chapter 23: Reunion (Part 2)==
Alex Curtiz parked his car in front of the Redfield house. “''Man, I’m so nervous''” Alex thought, “I have lost contact with Jean for these four years, I hope she isn’t mad at me”.
A moment later, Lily was out from the house to checked his mail box. He then noticed Alex’s car parked on the other side. “Who’s that?” Lily wondered.
“Oh, it’s Mrs. Redfield, she doesn’t even change for a bit” Alex thought.
Alex then encouraged himself to disembarked from his car. He then walked approaching the Redfield house. “Eh, good morning Mrs. Redfield” Alex said greeting him, “You might not remember me, but I...”.
“Alex Curtiz? Is that you?” Lily asked.
“Y-yeah, Mrs. Redfield, it’s me” Alex said.
“Oh my gosh, Alex, it’s been a while!” Lily said shaking Alex’s arm “John, darling we have a guest!”.
A moment later, John appeared from inside the house. “John, this is Alex Curtiz, do you remember him?” Lily asked. John then looked at Alex, and he was surprised. “Oh my, nice to see you again Alex!” John said. “Y-yeah, nice to see you again Mr. Redfield” Alex said, smiling.
“Please, come in, my wife just make a delicious meal” John said inviting Alex in.
“Oh, okay, sure” Alex said, entering the house.
Alex had a nice chat with John and Lily. He revealed that several things happened after he moved to Roaring Heights. His parents, Dieter and Ana Curtiz were both department heads in their respective divisions. John and Lily also learned that Alex would enrolled Sim University for the next semester.
“We glad to hear that you and your family are fine” John said.
“Thanks” Alex said.
“By the way, Leona and Jean are also enrolled in the Sim University” Lily said. “Really? Whoa, that’s surprising” Alex said. “Yeah, Leona takes P.E major and Jean takes Science and Medicine” John claimed. “I see...” Alex said in manner of thoughtfulness.
“That means I will be in same university with Jean, glad to hear that” he thought.
“And yeah, Bella and Astrid also enrolled there” John submitted.
“Bella and who?” Alex asked, it was the first time he heard about Astrid.
“Oh, well, three months after your family left, there’s a family called Toadstool family moved here. Their eldest daughter, Astrid, is friend with our daughters and she also enrolled in Sim University” John said, explaining.
“Oh I see...” Alex said, “By the way Mr. Redfield, is Jean already home? I guess that she’s also in her semester break”.
“Oh, yes, but she’s out right now” John said “she and Leona have a reunion with Bella and the others”. “Oh, where’s the reunion held?” Alex asked again. “I’m not sure, but Leona said that it’s in Misc Master Karaoke” John said “You still know where’s the place, right?”.
“Oh, yeah, I still remember” Alex said, “Maybe I will go there now. Thanks for the meal”.
“Sure, take care!” John said.
----
After leaving the Redfield house, Alex drove his car to the Misc Master Karaoke. Along his way, Alex could felt that his heart was beating. “Man, I’m so nervous...” he thought “What if she’s mad at me and don’t want to meet me?”.
After 15 minutes drive, Alex finally arrived in the lot. “Alright Alex, be brave!” he thought encouraging himself. As Alex about to enter, suddenly...
A group of young adult women appeared from inside. They were stopping their step after they noticed Alex was in front of them. The women were Bella, Darlene, Kaylynn, Dina, Nina, Astrid, Leona, and of course, Jean.
“Uh, hi everyone...” Alex said in awkward tone “Long time no see”.
[[File:Jean_passed_out.jpg|thumb|200px|Jean fainted]]They became silent for a moment. Alex then looked at Jean who had her jaw dropped. Alex smiled. “Hi, Jean, long time no see” he greeted her. Everyone then looked at Jean, she looked stunned with Alex’s presence.
“Jean, it’s me, Alex” he said again.
“Who’s Alex?” Astrid whispered to Leona.
Jean didn't said anything, she was trembling and panting. And then... She fainted.
"Oh gosh! JEAAAAAAAAAN!" everyone screamed, they became panic after seeing Jean was losing her consciousness.
==Chapter 24: More Problem==
We now visited the Romanova household where Chris and his band continued their practice. There was one empty room that could be used by them for practice.
They had performed three different rock songs. At the same time, Matilda just returned home. She looked at her niece, Ariana and smiled. “I glad you finally have more friends, Ariana” she thought, “And it seems like you also found your passion in music”.
After several minutes, the song was over, the band decided to rest for a while.
“Woo, that was great! I’m sure we can beat everyone in that competition!” Sam exclaimed. “Yeah! We will be a true ROCK STAR if we won!” Charlie submitted.
“I don’t think it will not be easy since we also must face Lance Lewis too” Ariana claimed.
“What do you mean?” Charlie asked.
“Ariana’s right” Chris said, “Among our competitors, there will be Lance Lewis and his band. I knew this since Ariana told me few days ago”.
“He also tried to recruit me to his band” Ariana said “But I rejected his offer since I think he looks annoying”.
“Wait? Lewis will be participating too? This isn’t a pop competition right?” Sam asked. “Except if he also can perform a rock song too” Charlie said.
“Oh man, this competition will be harder than I thought!” Sam said.
At the middle of their conversation, Chris suddenly received a phone call. Chris took his cellphone and found it was from Tamera. “Guys, I need to receive this phone call” Chris said “I will be back soon”. “Sure” Charlie said.
Chris then went outside the room and answered the phone.
“Hello?” Chris said.
“Uh, hi Chris, do you have a time?” Tamera asked “I want to ask you something”.
“Oh, sure, what is it?” Chris said.
“Well, I don’t know where should I start, I’m so confused.” Tamera said again. Judging from how Tamera talked, Chris noticed that something already happened.
“It’s alright, just go ahead” Chris said “Tell me what happened”.
“Well, last night Lance came to my house...” Tamera said, “And... And he confessed me!”.
“Oh I see, he came to you house and... WHAT THE HECK!?” Chris said loudly, “HE DID WHAT!?”.
Charlie, Ariana, and Sam then get out from the practice room after getting surprised by Chris’ loud voice. “What happened?” Sam whispered. “It sounds serious” Charlie said.
[[File:Chris_talk_on_phone.jpg|thumb|left|"I'm coming to your house!"]]“Listen, I'm coming to your house right now” Chris said, “Just stay there!”.
“Uh, Chris, I just asking for your opinion, but why do you make it sounds like an emergency?” Tamera commented.
“Because, it’s an ''''EMERGENCY'''' for me!” Chris said, “Just wait there, I’m coming to your house!”.
“Chris, hey, you don’t need to—“.
Unfortunately, Chris was hanging up his phone before Tamera could finished her sentences. “What happened?” Charlie asked. “That annoying pop idol is just one more step ahead from stealing my girl! I need to end this as soon as possible!” Chris claimed “You, continue your practice without me!”.
“Hey Chris, wait!” Charlie and the others tried to stop Chris, but it was too late. Chris stopped a cab and left to the Gerardo house.

Back to the Misc Master Karaoke.
Jean was just passing out after she saw Alex Curtiz suddenly appeared before her. Her friends laid her on a bench. After several minutes, Jean finally regained her consciousness. Leona gave her a glass of water.
Jean then looked at Alex. She apparently still stunned by his sudden appearance. Alex didn’t said anything, he only stood up there, didn’t know what to say. Jean then sighed, “Girls, if you don’t mind, I need some privacy now” she said, “I want to talk with him”.
“Uh, okay” Bella said “W-we will wait in the parking area, take your time”.
Bella and the others the decided to wait in the parking area. “Leona, come on!” Bella said to Leona who was still in there. “B-but” Leona said.
“Leona, please, you can go ahead” Jean said.
“Oh, okay” Leona said before leaving to the parking area.
After the other girls left, Jean and Alex finally had some private moment. Jean then stood up and approaching Alex. They were quiet, only staring at each other.
Alex then sighed, “Jean, listen, I...”
<span style="line-height:20px;">(*SLAP*)</span>
Just before Alex could finished his sentence, Jean slapped him very hard on his face.
==Chapter 25: After Four Years==
Jean slapped Alex very hard, he could noticed that Jean was very angry at him. But, he understand why Jean did this. He could saw Jean was very disappointed. He knew that Jean was waiting for him to, at least, made a call for these four years.
[[File:AST_3_Jean_and_Alex_scene.jpg|thumb|"I really want to apologize"]]Jean crossed her arm, “Is that hurt?” she said suddenly.
“Y-yeah” Alex said.
Jean then sit on the bench and sighed, “But that’s noting compared to how hurt my feeling” she said, “Do you ever know how much I worried about you? Where have you been for these four years!? If you really love me, you should at least made a call!”.
“That’s why I’m here now” Alex said, “I really want to apologize for never call you. I know that you might disappointed”.
“...” Jean said nothing.
[[File:Jean's_old_picture.jpg|thumb|left|Jean's old photo]]Alex then took Jean’s old photo from his wallet. “See? I’m still holding your old picture” Alex said showing the photo, “I always bring this photo wherever I go because I also can’t forget about you”.
“Then why did you never call me?” Jean asked, “Even though you were busy, you probably had a little time to made a call!”.
“If I wasn’t enrolled in For Stracht Military School, I probably would” Alex said.
“For Stracht Military School?” Jean asked raising her left eyebrow, “Did you just said you enrolled in For Stracht Military School?”.
Alex nodded, “You do know how strict that school, don’t you? We only allowed to made one call per each day to our family since we must really focused on our study”.
“Then why didn’t you made a call after you graduated?” Jean asked again.
“Well, just one day after I graduated from the military school, a buglar robbed our house, stealing some of our stuffs, including my cellphone” Alex claimed “Every important numbers, addresses, and e-mails were stored in my stolen cellphone”.
“You... You were getting robbed?” Jean asked.
“Yeah, and the worst part, my father was injured when he caught the buglar. But thank God that it only a minor injury” Alex said.
[[File:Jean_Alex_reunion.jpg|thumb|left|Alex calmed Jean down.]]Jean then stood up, she now felt regret for slapping Alex at the first time. She realized that she shouldn't do that. “Oh gosh, I... I’m sorry” she said, “I’m really sorry, I don’t know if that your family had that kind of incident”.
“No Jean, I’m the one who should say that” Alex said.
“But I accused you without knowing your reason to never call me” Jean said, she begun to crying again, “And I even slapped you”.
“Jean, it’s okay” Alex said, he then gave her a hug, “it’s okay, I’m not mad at you. I do understand why you did that”.
The two then stared at each other, Alex wiped Jean’s tears. A smile could be seen at Jean’s face. “I... I’m so happy that you come back to me Al” she said.
“Me too, I’m so happy that I can finally meet my love again” Alex said.
Jean’s face was blushing. Her anger was gone. She now beamed in happiness. Four years getting separated, the two lovers finally reunited. The lovers then closed their eyes, and they kissed. Meanwhile, Leona and the others secretly watched the whole events, they couldn’t hold their tears.
“We’re glad you’re back Alex” Leona said approaching them, followed by the other girls.
“Oh, b-by the way, this is Astrid” Jean said introducing Astrid, “She was moved here three months after you and your family moved”.
.
“Nice to meet you Astrid” Alex said shaking Astrid’s hand.
“Y-yeah nice to meet you too” Astrid said in awkward tone, “Oh gosh, he’s handsome. Jean is really lucky” she thought,
[[File:Enrico_cs.jpg|thumb|200px|Enrico, Malcolm, and Mortimer]]“Alex? Alex Curtiz, is that you?” a voice suddenly heard. Alex turned his head, it was Enrico Delgado who calling. Not only Enrico, Mortimer Goth and Malcolm Landgraab were also there.
“Hey, that’s Alex! That’s really Alex!” Malcolm exclaimed.
“Long time no see, bud!” Mortimer said, shaking Alex’s hand, “Glade we can meet you again”.
“Yeah, thank you everyone” Alex said, smiling.
----
Meanwhile at other place.
Chris just arrived in the Gerardo household. “Keep the change please!” he said to the taxi driver before rushing in the house. He then knocked the door very loud. “Tamera! Tamera!” he called for Tamera’s name several times.
A moment later, Tamera appeared from inside the door, she looked annoyed. “My gosh Chris, there is a bell there, you don’t need to knock my door very loud!” she protested, “Beside, why did you suddenly acting like this?”.
“Because you said that Lewis confessed his attraction on you!” Chris exclaimed.
“Y-yeah, but I haven’t give him my answer” Tamera said, “I think I’m not ready for a relationship”.
“Then don’t! Please, I beg you!” Chris said holding Tamera’s arm. It made Tamera more confused with Chris’ behavior.
[[File:Lance_again.jpg|thumb|left|Lance arrived in Tamera's house.]]
“Chris, why do you suddenly acting like this?” Tamera asked.
“I... it’s because I—“
Because Chris could finished his sentences, someone else arrived in the Gerardo house. Chris then turned his head.
“LEWIS!” he yelled after found that it was Lance Lewis who came.
==Chapter 26: I'm not for bet!==
“Well well, look who’s here” Lance said, “How’re you doin’ Chris? How’s your band? I can’t wait to face you in that band competition”.
“Oh, by the way Tamera, I come here for your answer, have you make a decision?” Lance said in flirty tone. He then pushed Chris away from Tamera. He gazed into Tamera’s eyes. However, it made Tamera felt uncomfortable.
“I... I don’t know Lance” Tamera said, “I’m glad that there is someone who like me but...”.
Lance then held Tamera’s arm. “Tamera, I promise that I will be the best for you” he said, “I will be always in your side whenever you need me, I also will give everything you want”.
“Lance, but I—“ Tamera said. Her face blushed, Chris noticed this and became more upset. Finally, Chris couldn’t control his rage, he punched Lance until the latter fell to the ground. Both Lance and Tamera surprised.
“DO NOT EVER TOUCH MY TAMERA!” Chris yelled.
“'''Your Tamera'''? Hmp, how can she be yours since you are too coward to confess your feeling on her?” Lance said with a smirk, mocking him.
“...” Tamera said nothing, she was stunned. She was too shocked seeing Chris suddenly enraged.
“I'm sorry Chris, but I will win our bet! Ha ha ha!” Lance proclaimed, laughing very hard, “You lose, you will never get her as your girlfriend!”.
“SHUT UP!” Chris yelled.
“Wait a minute, did you just said, a ''bet''?” Tamera said suddenly.
“Oh snap, she’s heard it!” Lance thought.
Tamera then walked approaching them. “What do you mean with ''our bet''?” she asked.
Chris and Lance then stared at each other. They realized that Tamera became upset. “Uh, well, we... we” Chris said haltingly.
Lance then sighed. “I challenged Chris for a bet. Whoever got you as girlfriend, he won.”
“What!? So you mean I already become your betting material!?” Tamera yelled.
“N-no, it wasn’t like that!” Chris said.
“How could you!” Tamera said.
“I... I’m sorry Tamera, I did it because I... I don’t want to lose you” Chris said, “I did this because I love you”.
[[File:Tamera_is_upset.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Tamera is upset!]]
“I don’t want to hear your excuse anymore! I'M NOT A BETTING MATERIAL!” she yelled, “I HATE YOU BOTH!”. Tamera slammed the door right in front of Chris and Lance’s face. The two young men were speechless. This was also the first Chris saw Tamera becoming this angry.
“LEAVE MY HOUSE NOW!” Tamera yelled from inside the house, “AND DON’T EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN!”.
Both Chris and Lance then left the Gerardo house. Chris was still in shock. Lance then approached him, unlike Chris, he was still confidence.
“Well, at least there are still more girls in the school” he said, "What a peasant, she's now become nothing after rejecting me like that". Chris then snapped, he then attempted to punch Lance again, but someone held his hand, stopping him.
Chris then turned his head, he found that it was Charlie who stopping him. “Bro, don’t” Charlie said. Not only Charlie, Sam and Ariana were also there.
[[File:Lance_and_co_2.jpg|thumb|200px|Lance and his band]]Later, Lance’s band members also appeared. The two bands finally face-to-face.
“Well, maybe we should focus more to our competition” Lance said, “But I doubt you won’t be able to concentrate after this, ha ha ha”.
“Lewis you are really son-of-a-#!@%$” Ariana said.
“Whoa whoa, watch your mouth lady” Lance said “A pretty girl like you shouldn’t talk like that”.
“Boss, I think we should go now, you said we will have our practice today” Lawrence said watching at his watches.
“Well, you are right” Lance said. “Bye losers, see you tomorrow in school, ha ha ha!” he said before leaving with his band.
“Oh man, he’s so rude...” Sam commented, "Now I'm hopping that an alien appear and abduct him".
“Chris, let’s we go home, I don’t know what happened in Tamera’s house, you can tell us later” Charlie said, “But you need to recover yourself now”.
“Thanks, Charlie” Chris said.
They then stopped a cab and heading back home to the Redfield house. Along the way, Chris didn’t said anything. He was thinking about Tamera. He knew that it would be hard for him to apologize to her. “Oh gosh, what should I do?” Chris thought.
----
Another day passed.
In the school, Tamera was sitting alone in the hallway. She still sad with what happened last night. She felt disappointed, especially with Chris. “''Chris you are stupid!''” she thought, tears shed for her eyes “''How could you do that to me? I thought you were a nice guy''”.
[[File:Sad_Tamera.jpg|thumb]]“Tamera?” someone called her, it was Sandi French who just arrived in the school, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”.
“Oh, hello Sandi” Tamera said wiping her tears.
Sandi then sat next to her on the bench. “What’s wrong girl? Is there any problem?” she asked again.
Tamera sighed, she then told Sandi about what happened last night. Sandi learned that Tamera was very disappointed on Chris. It was the first time Tamera felt angry to someone else. Sandi gave Tamera a lot of tissues to wipe her tears.
“Well, I understand your feeling. I probably will be as mad as you if I found myself become betting material” Sandi claimed.
“But, I also understand why Chris did that” Sandi said, “He only doesn’t want to lose you”.
“But he didn’t need to accept Lance’s challenge for betting!” Tamera exclaimed.
“Yeah, you are right...” Sandi said.
“I need to go to my class now, thanks for your time listening my story” Tamera said, “I really appreciate”.
“Oh okay, take care” Sandi said.
Just after Tamera departed, Charlie appeared. “Hi babe” Charlie said greeting Sandi, “You’re looking good today”.
[[File:Charlie_and_Sandi_in_school.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"If you wanna' be romantic, just wait until the school ended, okay?"]]
“Charlie, we’re in school right now, if you wanna' be romantic, just wait until the school ended” Sandi said, “Or at least until the lunch time”.
“Oh, okay sure, sorry, I just excited” Charlie said. Sandi only smiled.
“By the way, where’s Chris?” Sandi asked, realizing that Chris wan’t there since he and Charlie usually came together.
“Oh well, he already in his class I believe” Charlie said, “Beside, he’s really in bad condition right now”.
“It’s because Tamera, isn’t it?” Sandi said, “I just met and talked with Tamera just before you arrived here. She told me everything about what happened”.
“I see...” Charlie said, “Well, I actually want to help him but, this is between him and Tamera, so we don’t have right to interfere except giving them advice”.
“By the way Charl, about what you said to me back then...” Sandi said.
“What?” Charlie asked.
“Well you said that you have a secret you want to share with me” Sandi said, “What secret actually?”.
“Oh y-yeah about that, I’m going to tell you after the school” Charlie said, “But, when I tell it, I hope you won’t be pass out or something”.
“Err... Okay” Sandi said.
“Oh, my first class will be started, see ya later babe” Charlie said leaving to his class
==Chapter 27: Mr. Edward's Story==
After the first period ended, Chris was seen scolded by his geography teacher. The teacher accused him for his lack of attention during the class. Plus, he found out that Chris forgot to did his homework. “If you do this again Mr. Redfield, I will surely call your parents, do you understand?” the teacher said.
“Y-yes sir, I’m sorry” Chris said.
“Good, you can leave now” the teacher said allowing Chris to left.
After leaving the teacher’s room, Chris met Charlie, Sam, and Ariana who were waiting for him. They felt sorry for Chris. “What a bad day for me” Chris said.
Charlie, Sam, and Ariana then approached Chris, trying to cheered him up. “Come on dude, don’t be like this” Charlie said, “Should us remind that we will have an important ban competition at the end of this month?”.
“Yeah, we should focus on the competition” Ariana said, “This is what you have dreamed for your entire life, isn’t it?”.
“After the competition, we promise we will help you deal with Tamera” Sam said.
Chris then looked at his friends. He then smiled. “Thank you guys, I really appreciate it” he said.
----
''2.00 P.M''.
The school was ended. As usual, some students who had after school activities were staying. Chris was on his way heading to the music club. He was still thinking about Tamera. But, he also knew that he had to focus on the next band competition.
Arriving in the club’s room, Chris met Mr. Edward, but he didn’t saw everyone else. “Mr. Edward, where are the others?” Chris asked.
“Oh, is nobody tell you that today’s activity canceled?” Mr. Edward said.
“Canceled? What happened?” Chris asked again.
“Yeah, I have to go to Twinbrook today, it’s so sudden” Mr. Edward said.
“Oh, I see...” Chris said nodding, “I think I will go home now”.
“Wait, you look so pale” Mr. Edward said, “Are you sick?”.
“Really?” Chris said, “Oh, no, I’m alright. I’m just having bad days”.
“Oh what happen?” Mr. Edward said, “It’s okay, tell me, I still have enough time before I go”.
Chris then took a seat next to his teacher. He told everything abou what happened between him and Tamera. Mr. Edward nodded, he apparently understand what Chris’ problem was, “Well, your problem is very complicated” he said.
[[File:Edward_and_Chris.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr. Edward tells Chris his story]]“Yeah, I don’t know how to apologize to her. She’s really mad at me” Chris said.
“Well, you know, when I was in college, I also had an almost same problem with you” Mr. Edward said, “It was in 30 years ago if I recall, I remember that I had a relationship with a girl, but, something happened and the girl was really mad at me”.
“What happened?” Chris asked.
“Well, yeah, it’s very complicated” Mr. Edward said, “But, the point is she really mad at me. She told me that she would never wanted to met me again” he claimed. “Just like you, I felt hopeless back then, I was thinking that she would never forgive me”
“And, what happened next?” Chris asked again.
“I then remember that this girl liked a romantic song” Mr. Edward said, “So I took my guitar, went to her dorm, and serenade her with her favorite song, and it’s working!”
“Oh, yeah, that was awesome...” Chris commented, “But, what happened with that girl now?”.
“Well, in 1998, she became known as '''Mrs. Edward'''” Mr. Edward said.
“Wait, so you mean that the girl is your own wife!?” Chris asked, "That was the story about you and your wife?".
“Yes, she is” Mr. Edward, “But, to be honest, before we’re married, there were so many struggles in our relationship. We even broke up several times”.
“However, since it appeared that we destined to be together, we finally could settle our problems and eventually married” he said ending his story.
“...” Chris said nothing.
“So, Mr. Redfield, is Ms. Gerardo like music?” Mr. Edward asked.
“Well, kinda...” Chris said, “I knew she’s a fan of several romance songs”.
“Maybe you should try to serenade her with her her most favorite song” Mr. Edward suggested.
“Well, I think I will try it” Chris said.
“Great!” Mr. Edward said, “Oh, I must go now, good luck Mr. Redfield”.
----
Later in the Redfield house, Chris decided to went to Tamera’s house to settle their problems. He decided to took Mr. Edward’s advice.
“Are you sure you wanna’ do this?” Charlie asked.
“Yes” Chris said taking his guitar, “It’s better than do nothing and crying in the corner like a crybaby”.
“Well, if you said so, good luck then” Charlie said.
[[File:Redfield_siblings_book3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Leona, Jean, and Chris]]Chris then left his room and walking down the stairs, heading outside. “Where will you go Chris?” Leona asked, “And why do you bring your guitar?”.
“Oh well, I have a... uh... date... and this is for serenade her” Chris claimed, “See you later!”. Chris then went out from the house and stopped a cab, heading to Tamera’s house.
“A date huh? Well, time has been really changed” Jean said, smiling. “What do you think Leona?” she asked for Leona’s opinion, but...
“Leona, are you crying?” Jean asked. Leona was crying for an unknown reason. “What happened?” Jean asked again.
“No-Nothing” Leona said wiping her tears, “I *Sob*, I’m just so happy that *Sob* our little Chris has already grown up *Sob*”.
Jean the sighed, “You don’t need to cry girl”.
==Chapter 28: Suggestion from Leona==
Chris arrived in the Gerardo house. The house was so quiet. Chris then disembarked from the cab and asking the driver to wait. “A minute sir, I need to make sure if someone inside” he said before walking to the house, ringing the bell.
A moment later, Tamera’s brother, Andrew appeared from the house.
“Oh, hello Chris, is there anything I can help? Andrew asked.
“Hi Andrew, is Tamera home?” Chris asked.
“Oh, unfortunately, Tamera isn’t home right now” Andrew said, “I remember she said she will going to hang out with Casey somewhere”.
“Casey? Casey Ursine?” Chris asked.
“Perhaps” Andrew said, “I don’t really know all of her friends beside of you”.
“I see... Very well, thanks, I think I will go home now” Chris said.
“Oh, Chris, you come in the right time” another person appeared from the house, it was Lynn. “I just made these cookies, wanna’ try?”.
“Oh, okay, sure, thanks Mrs. Gerardo” Chris said taking a piece of cookie, “It’s delicious”.
“Thanks, your mom was the one who taught me, I should be the one who said thank you” Lynn claimed.
“Oh, okay, I will tell her” Chris said “I need to go now, bye!”.
However, just before Chris left, Tamera appeared. “Chris? What are you doing here?” she asked.
“Uh-oh, hi Tamera” Chris said in awkward tone.
“I asked you what are you doing here?” Tamera said again, “And why do you bring your guitar too?”.
“Uh, this...” Chris said haltingly, he then sighed, “Tamera, I would like to tell you something in private. Would you like to come with me”.
Tamera sighed, “Sorry, maybe next time, I’m so tired right now” she said.
“B-but” Chris said.
“Chris, please, I’m so tired now, plus, I have an assignment from my history teacher” Tamera said.
“Oh, okay...” Chris said.
----
Disappointed, Chris was returning home. He walked to his room upstairs and laid his body on his bed. “Maybe she really doesn’t want to talk to me again” he thought. Chris then looked at the date in his calendar, he also remembered he and his band would had a competition in next several weeks.
“What have I done” Chris thought. “We will have an important competition in several next weeks but I still whining about my problem with Tamera”.
“Charlie?” someone was calling from outside of his room. Chris noticed it was Leona’s voice. “Can you open the door? I need to store these clothes in the dresser”. Leona thought Charlie was the one inside the room since she didn’t know that Chris already home.
Chris then opened the door, he saw Leona brought some of his and Charlie’s newly freshen clothes. Leona was surprised seeing Chris there. “Oh, I thought it was Charlie who the one inside” Leona said, “You return so early, Chris”.
“Yeah...” Chris snorted.
“So, uh, how’s your date?” Leona asked while putting the clothes into the dresser.
“I don’t want to talk about that” Chris said laid his body again on his bed.
“Sounds like you actually have problem with that girl, right?” Leona guessed, “What’s her name again? Tamara?”.
“It’s Tamera” Chris said.
“Oh okay, do you actually have a problem with Tamera?” Leona asked.
“You don’t need to know” Chris said.
“Well, I’m your sister, it’s normal for me asking my little brother whether he has a problem or not” Leona said.
“You’re right... I’m sorry” Chris apologized, “I just have a bad day”.
Leona then approached him, “You can tell me what happened, maybe I can help you” she said.
----
[[File:AST_3_Chris_and_Leona.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris tell Leona his story.]]Chris told Leona everything what happened between him, Tamera, and also Lance Lewis. Leona was a little surprised after she known that Chris and Lance put a bet on Tamera. But, it made her understood why Tamera was so angry at Chris.
“Well, I’m a girl too, I might get angry if someone put a bet on me” Leona said.
“...” Chris said nothing.
“But, I think your attempt to apologize by serenading her is great!” Leona said complimenting her brother, "And it would be romantic too!".
“Yeah, thank you” Chris said.
“Well, maybe you should try again later” Leona said.
“But I’m afraid she won’t forgive me” Chris said.
“Don’t worry, she will” Leona said, “considering that you two are already close for these whole time”.
“But how?” Chris asked.
“Well, maybe you also should give her a gift. I don’t know, something she likes” Leona suggested, “Every girls love when they got a gift from someone special”.
“If she also think I’m special” Chris said again, “but very well, I will try to give her something”.
“Good!” Leona said, smiling at her brother.
==Chapter 29: Seven Days Before Competition==
Days passed, both Chris’ Sunset Riders and Lance’s Red Underground were making improvement in their practice. 10 days before the competition, Chris, Charlie, Sam, and Ariana were just finishing their practice for today. “Aw man, we still have 10 days but I already nervous” Sam claimed. “We’re all nervous Sammy” Charlie said, “Especially after we know that the judges will be famous celebrities in this country”. “Is your family will be able to come?” Ariana asked.
“Mom and Dad will probably come, but I don’t know about Leona and Jean, it appears that they must return to the University three days before the competition held” Chris said, “I will ask them later if they can attend or not. Considering the competition will be held on Sunday”.
“By the way Chris, have you talk with Tamera again?” Sam asked. Chris didn’t answered, he became quiet. “Oh, I guess, it’s not” Sam assumed. “We need to focus on our competition” Chris said, “Ariana, you said that you have designed the clothes for us, can I see it?”.
“Oh, okay, sure” Ariana said, she promptly took a sketches of the clothes design. “Man! This is very Rock N Roll!” Sam said “Nice job honey!”. “Thanks I... What did you just call me?” Ariana said staring at Sam. “Oh, I mean, nice job, he he he” Sam said.
“Guys, I think Charlie and I should home now” Chris said. “Me too, I promised my grandma to help her clean the house” Sam said. “Okay, see you tomorrow guys” Ariana said.
----
At their way home...
“Charl, mind if you accompany me to visit someone first?” Chris suddenly asked. Charlie then stopped, “Who?” Charlie asked. Chris didn’t answered, it made Charlie realized who Chris wanted to visit. Charlie then sighed, “Okay then, I will accompany you” he said. “Thanks brother” Chris said.
Chris and Charlie then headed to none other than the Gerardo House. Suddenly, Tamera out from the house. She was stopped seeing Chris and Charlie there. Chris and Tamera stared at each other. “H-hello Tamera” Chris said in small, awkward tone. “Oh, hi” Tamera greeted him back “Is there anything I can do for you Chris?”. “Well, I... We...” Chris said haltingly, “Oh, where will you go?”.
“I will go to the grocery store to buy some foods” Tamera said. “Oh I see...” Chris said. The two then became quiet. There was an awkward silence. “I need to go now, see you later” Tamera said. “Wait, Tamera!” Chris said stopping her. “What?” Tamera said.
“Well, you know if our band will have a competition next week in Bridgeport righ?” Chris said, “I... I’m here to ask you if you can come to watch or not”. Tamera then sighed, “Well, we will see. I don’t know if I will have another plan or not in next ten days” she said, “Is there anything else you want to say?”. “Well... I... I just want to apologize for what happened back then” Chris said.
[[File:Tamera-Chris-Charlie-scene.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Don't be bothered about me".]]Tamera then sighed, “Just forget it Chris, I don’t want to talk about that anymore”. “Do you mean that you forgive me?” Chris asked. “Maybe” Tamera said, “I think you should focus on your competition instead, don’t be bothered about me”.
Chris then frowned, “Well, I need to ho now, bye” Tamera said leaving Chris and Charlie.
“Let’s we go home Chris” Charlie said. Chris only nodded.
==Chapter 30: Farewell==
Friday, two days before the competition.
Today was the last day Leona and Jean in Sunset Valley. They would return to the University tonight. Meanwhile, Bella and Astrid who also went to the same University with them decided to stay for a little longer since they still wanted to be with their respective families and relaxed until Sunday.
In the Redfield house, Jean and Leona were packing their belongings, "Well, I think it's already all" Leona said. Suddenly, Lily entered their room with a plate of cookies. "Here, I just baked these cookies, you girls hungry right?" she asked. "Thanks mom" Leona and Jean said in unison, "Your cookies always the best".
"Oh gosh, I *''sob''* really wished you could stay for any longer" Lily said, she started sobbing. "Oh mom, come on, we won't leave forever" Jean said "Beside, we always return home during summer or new year, right?".
"Yeah" Lily said, "But I always feel so lonely without you girls". She then hugged her daughters, "You two already grown up" she said. Leona and Jean only smiled, "Dad, Chris, and Charlie are still here mom" Leona said.
"Speaking about Chris and Charlie, I really wished we could watch their competition in Bridgeport" Jean said. "Don't worry, dad said that he will bring his video camera and record the whole competition" Leona said. "I thought that video camera was broken" Jean said. "Well... he... he just bought a new one months ago" Lily said wiping her tears.

In Ariana's house, the Sunset Riders just had their last practice. "Okay guys, today's practice is over" Chris said. "Aw man, I can not believe tomorrow we will go to Bridgeport!" Sam exclaimed "I hope I can meet my favorite celebrity who lived there!".
"By the way guys, I think Charlie and I should go home now. Our sisters will return to University tonight" Chris said. "Your sisters will not come?" Ariana asked. "Unfortunately, yeah, they are so busy in their college" Chris said, "Especially Jean". "Oh, okay, see you again tomorrow then" Ariana said.

As Leona and Jean about to entered the cab, Leona suddenly remembered something. "A moment" she said to the driver before approaching Chris and Charlie. "Chris, Charlie, there is something I forgot to tell you" she said. "What is it?" Charlie asked.
Leona then smiled, she then held the boys' shoulders, "Do your best in your competition" she said. Chris and Charlie smiled, "Of course sis, we will do our best!". "Good, and for you Chris" Leona then whispered, "Don't give up about '''her'''". Chris didn't said anything, he only smiled.
Shortly afterward, Leona and Jean eventually leave, returning to Sims University.
==Chapter 31: Welcome to Bridgeport!==
Saturday, 12.30 P.M, Bridgeport.
A bus was seen entering the City entrance. It was coming from Sunset Valley. The bus stopped in the bus station. Four teenagers disembarked from it, they were the Sunset Riders (Chris, Charlie, Sam, and Ariana). They already arrived in Bridgeport.
"Oh man, I can not believe it! This is BRIDGEPORT!" Sam said in excitement. "This city looks bigger than I always heard" Charlie said. Everyone looked amazed with the city. "In the past, Bridgeport was once a shipping town that was full of sailors and smugglers, where the only beach in Bridgeport is named the Smuggler's Cove, situated on a small coastline facing the bridge and the bay. Some time later, Bridgeport has turned into a nightlife city when the film industry came to the city, changing the small town into a bustling downtown with high-rise buildings" Ariana said.
"Whoa, you really know much about Bridgeport" Sam said. "It was written in this website" Ariana said as she browsing the website. "Oh okay" Sam said.
