It was a nice summer day, and Lincoln and Leni were in Vanzilla, driving to the mall. “Thanks for coming with me Linky,” said Leni. “I always appreciate your company.”



-”Same here!” said Lincoln, as he was looking kind of depressed. “I wish I could have gone to Comic Con this year,” said Lincoln, as he spoke to Leni. “They have these awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure sets that are Con exclusives, and not to mention they have so much cool Ace Savvy stuff this year.”



-”Sorry Linky!” said Leni.



-”I shouldn't be too upset, since I at least won a trip to Australia this summer,” said Lincoln.



-”See Linky, there's always a bright side,” said Leni.



-”It's always great to be around Leni's caring and positive attitude,” said Lincoln, as he spoke to the audience. “I can count on her to help life my spirit if I'm feeling down.”



They arrived at the mall, and exited Vanzilla. “So where do you want to go first?” asked Leni.



-”How about we visit Rodney?” said Lincoln.



<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course!” said Leni. “Not only do we get to see Rodney, but we also get smoothies.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Rodney works at a smoothie stand in the mall,” said Lincoln, as he spoke to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">They went into the mall, and made their way to the smoothie stand. “Hey Rodney!” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Leni!” said Rodney, as they came to see him. “Hey Lincoln!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Rodney!” said Lincoln, as they high fived. “So, how have you been Rodney?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I've been great,” said Rodney. “So, would you two like anything?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'd like a jumbo, strawberry, banana smoothie please,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'd like a berry madness,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You got it!” said Rodney, as he got out the ingredients, put them into two blenders, and made their smoothies. After a little bit, they were both done, and he poured them into the cups. “There you!” said Rodney, as he handed them their smoothies. “That will be $5:50 for both of them.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks Rodney!” said Lincoln, as he got out his wallet, and paid for their smoothies.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You're welcome!” said Rodney, as he noticed a line of people approaching the stand.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It was great seeing you Rodney,” said Lincoln, as they both said goodbye to Rodney, as they ventured into the mall, and Rodney took care of the many customers.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Later that afternoon, Leni and Lincoln had finished their mall trip, and were putting their bags into the trunk. “I wonder why we didn't stop by to see Rodney before we left?” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He's busy!” said Leni. “Besides, we can always talk to him later.” The both got into Vanzilla, and drove home.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile, Rodney was getting ready to leave, when his boss approached him. “Hey Mr. Cohen,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hello Rodney!” said Mr. Cohen. “I'm afraid that we're going to be making some changes.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Changes?” said Rodney, as he looked confused.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You see, we get so many customers, and while you're a very good employee, you're not always fast enough.” said Mr. Cohen. “I met a boy about your age, who's very fast, and very talented at smoothie making, so I'm sorry to say that he'll be taking your place.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Really?” said Rodney, as he looked sad. “I thought you liked having me as an employee.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You're a very nice boy Rodney, but we need someone with more speed to satisfy the summer rush,” said Mr. Cohen. “That doesn't mean I don't appreciate your work, and you've done a fine job. Here is your final paycheck, and I wish you the best Rodney,” said Mr. Cohen, as he went over to speak with his new employee.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He replaced me just like that,” said Rodney, as he looked at his paycheck with sadness. “Just goes to show how expendable people think you really are.” With that, Rodney went into his car, and left for home. He arrived back home, and sat down on the couch. “Well, better say hello to having lonely days again,” said Rodney, as he sulked on the couch. Just then, he got a call on his smartphone. “Hey Leni!” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Rodney, is something wrong?” asked Leni, when she noticed his depressed tone.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I lost my job today,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's awful!” said Leni. “Why would Mr. Cohen fire you?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”He replaced me with someone he thought was better,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'm sorry Rodney,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What's going on?” asked Lincoln, as he walked into the room.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Rodney lost his job,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's terrible!” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes it is,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Just then, Lincoln got an idea. “I know!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Know what?' asked Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We can go over and visit Rodney, so he wont go back to having lonely days,” said Lincoln. “It's summer vacation, and we don't have anything going on, so we can just spend time with him.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That sounds like a great idea,” said Leni. “Guess what Rodney, me and Linky are going to...” but then Rodney cuts into her thought.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I heard him,” said Rodney. “It'll be nice to have some company over,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We'll stop by your house tomorrow morning then,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”See you then,” said Rodney, as they ended their call. “It's going to be great having Leni and Lincoln over,” said Rodney, as he spoke to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is going to be cool,” said Lincoln. “Especially, since we've never really spent time at Rodney's place before.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following day, Rodney was loading some groceries into his car, as he was getting ready for his day with Leni and Lincoln. “Hey Moore!” said one of the employees, as he came up to get the shopping cart from Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hi there!” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I hear you got replaced by the smoothie stand guy at the mall,” said the employee. “Since Bobby Santiago left, there's an open position here if you're interested.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'll think about it,” said Rodney, as he got really nervous. He got into his car, and drove off. “No way I'm working there,” said Rodney, as he spoke to the audience. “Bobby told me the manager is really jaded, and I don't want to work for someone like that.” Rodney continued to drive, until he eventually reached his house, and brought the groceries into the house. “Mom will be happy I did the grocery shopping for her,” said Rodney, as he spoke to the audience. After he was done, he was looking at the business section for new job possibilities. “Wow!” said Rodney. “It looks like all of Bobby's old jobs are hiring. Gus' Gamed n Grub, the pool, the pizzeria,” but he looked up, once he heard the doorbell. “That's them!” said Rodney happily.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">He opened the door, and there were Leni and Lincoln ready to greet him. “Hey Rodney!” said Leni, as she kissed him on the cheek.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Leni!” said Rodney, as the two gave each other a hug.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Rodney!” said Lincoln, as the two of them fist bumped.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey there little buddy,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”So, what would you like today?” asked Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Come inside, and we'll all think of something to do together,” said Rodney, as Lincoln and Leni entered the Moore residence.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This is a really nice house,” said Leni, as the two of them observed Rodney's house.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks!” said Rodney, as he went into the kitchen. “Are you guys thirsty?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah!” said Leni and Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”How about some smoothies?” suggested Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you!” said Leni and Lincoln, as Rodney made some smoothies for the three of them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Here you go,” said Rodney. “Strawberry banana for Lincoln, and berry madness for Leni.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank Rodney!” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You're so sweet!” said Leni. “I can't believe that Mr. Cohen replaced you just like that.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”And you were such a great employee too,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I know, but Mr. Cohen thought the other guy was better, so he hired him, and he took my place,” said Rodney, as he started to feel sad.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Don't worry Rodney,” said Leni. “Linky and I will come over, so you wont have to spend your summer days alone.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">It's so great to have you two in my life,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Man, it would have been so cool to go to Comic Con this year,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I hear you man,” said Rodney. “All the cool stuff they have this year got me so bummed that I couldn't go.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Those exclusive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure sets look so awesome,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I should know,” said Rodney, as he brought his. “You didn't know about the online pre-orders?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”They sold out so fast, that just as I was entering all my info for the purchase, they sold out, and I missed my chance,” said Lincoln, as he got really bummed.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I think this will cheer you up,” said Rodney, as he brought out a second figure set. “I bought a second one in case you were unable to buy one.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks!” said Lincoln, as Rodney handed him the figure set. “I don't know what to say.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's what friends do little buddy,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you so much,” said Lincoln, as they high fived.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”How about we go to the Burpin Burger for lunch?” asked Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sounds great!” said Rodney, as the three of them went into Rodney's car, and they headed over to the Burpin Burger.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Some time later, Leni and Lincoln had arrived home, and Lori was sitting on the couch, as she saw them come in. “Hey guys!” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Lori!” said Leni. “How was your day?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I had a lot of time to myself, that's for sure,” said Lori. “What's that Lincoln?” asked Lori, as she noticed Lincoln carrying the TMNT action figure set.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comic Con exclusive figure set,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I thought they sold out before you could get one,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Rodney bought it for me,” said Lincoln, as he went upstairs to put it away.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Looks like you two had fun today,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You bet we did,” said Leni, as she upstairs.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Can't say the same for my day,” said Lori, as she started to look upset.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">For the rest of the week Leni and Lincoln continued to hangout with Rodney, and the three of them had a lot of fun together, while Lori was always bored that Leni wasn't around to hangout with. “Could this summer be anymore boring?” asked Lori to herself.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey Lori!” said Lucy, as she popped up, and scared Lori. “Can you help me come up with a word that rhymes with...” just then Lori interrupted her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You know I'm no good with poetry,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sigh!” went Lucy, as she walked away.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I've got it,” said Lana, as she caught a football.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Great catch Lana,” said Lynn.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I see you were able to find a new partner,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I know Lincoln is closer to my size, but maybe I should make Lana my official partner, since she can handle rough sports much better than Lincoln can,” said Lynn, as the two of them continued to play football.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I noticed that you're quite bored Lori,” said Lucy, as she once again popped up, and made Lori scream.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I no longer have my hangout buddy,” said Lori. “With Bobby now living out of state, and all my friends away on vacation, Leni is my default hangout buddy, but she's not around.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'll hangout with you Lori,” said Lola.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I appreciate that Lola, but I'd rather have someone closer to my own age to hang with,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Oh, so I offer to hangout with you, and you think I'm not good enough for you? I don't need to put up with Ms. Ungrateful here,” said Lola, as she walked away in a huff. “Farewell to you ma'am.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I don't think you should've brushed off Lola like that,” said Lucy.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I need someone my own age to hangout with,” said Lori, as Lincoln walked into the house. “Leni's back!” said Lori, as she started to get ecstatic.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'm just here to get some video games to bring over to Rodney's house,” said Lincoln, as he got the games, and went back out the door.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I need to get my hangout buddy back,” said Lori, as she got up.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”If you had ghost friends like I do, then you'd never feel lonely,” said Lucy, as Lori walked away.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Back at Rodney's house, Rodney, Leni, and Lincoln were all playing video games together, when they heard a knock on the door. “I wonder who that could be?” said Rodney, as he went to open to door.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey!” said Lori, as she stood there with a huge grin.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hi Lori!” said Rodney. “What brings you here?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I thought that because Leni and Lincoln are keeping you company, maybe you'd like one more person,” said Lori. “When you spend a lot of time by yourself, you can never have enough company,” said Lori, as Leni and Lincoln looked on confused.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">They continued to hangout, while Leni and Lincoln were wondering why Lori just came over, while Rodney was putting up with having Lori just come into their hangout okay. Once it was time to head home, the three of them headed into Vanzilla, and Leni drove them home. “See you guys tomorrow,” said Rodney, as he waved to them, and they waved back.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That was fun,” said Lori. “Rodney sure has a nice house.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes he does,” said Leni, as she and Lincoln were wondering why she decided to just come over out of nowhere.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The next day, Leni and Lincoln were about to head out the door, and Lori was there. “So, what are you guys gonna do today?” asked Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”The three of us are going to Dairyland,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Got room for one more?” asked Lori, as she made a huge grin.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sorry Lori,” said Leni, “but we only have three tickets, and we need to get going. Later Lori!” said Leni, and Lincoln, as they headed out the door, and got into Rodney's car.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You haven't escaped me that easily,” said Lori, as she was about to get into Vanzilla, but Lynn stopped her before she could get in.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Not so fast Lori,” said Lynn. “Dad's taking me Lana, and Lily to a football game.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Dang it!” shouted Lori, as she was upset that she couldn't drive herself to Dairyland. “Wait! I know what I can do,” said Lori, as she raced down to the bus stop. She waited for the bus, and got on. “No way am I going to have a boring day at home,” said Lori to herself.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Later that day, Lincoln, Leni, and Rodney were having a great time, and were waiting in line to go on a ride. “After this ride, do you guys want to have lunch?” asked Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah!” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”There's a pizzeria in the food court,” said Rodney. “We can have lunch there.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Some time later, Lori got off the bus, and headed into Dairyland. “Ticket for one please,” said Lori, as she talked to the woman at the entrance.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Do you have your student I.D.?” asked the woman.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No I don't,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Full price!” said the woman, as Lori paid for her ticket. “I can't believe I forgot that you get student discounts at this park,” said Lori, as she walked into the park.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lincoln, Leni, and Rodney were having lunch, as they were planning what else to do while at the park. “What ride should we go on after lunch?” asked Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We have to wait a while after eating, don't we?”asked Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We can always check out the Tippy the Cow Rock Show,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sounds cool!” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yeah!” said Leni, as they finished their lunch, and headed over to the auditorium for the rock show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”There they are,” said Lori, as she tried to catch up to them. They got into the auditorium, but the doors locked before Lori could get in.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You'll have to wait for the 5 o'clock show,” said the worker in front of the auditorium, as Lori snarled.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The three of them enjoyed the rock show, and were amazed by all the effects that the park included during the show. “This is so awesome,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes it is,” said Rodney, as the three of them continued to enjoy the show.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Lori was waiting in the food court, and once she saw the three of them, she went over to catch up with them. “They're not getting away from me this time.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I think we have time for a couple more rides before we have to call it a day,” said Rodney, as they were heading over to the Milk Shaker.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Hey guys!” said Lori, as she came up to them.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Lori!” said Leni, as she was surprised. “What are you doing here?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I decided to come over here, because I had nothing else to do,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We're about to go on the Milk Shaker,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sounds cool!” said Lori, as Leni and Lincoln were annoyed by Lori suddenly showing up.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Once their day was over, Rodney drove them home, and dropped them off at the Loud House. “See you tomorrow man,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I'm looking forward to it,” said Rodney, as he drove off.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That was fun,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”What's the deal Lori?” asked Leni. “Why do you keep showing up during our hangouts?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Because I'm bored,” said Lori. “I have no one to hangout with, and my hangout buddy is always going off,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's what this is about?” asked Lincoln.”I understand that you want someone to hangout with, but poor Rodney would be all alone, if me and Leni weren't going to hangout with him. His mom has to work really long hours, and since he lost his job, he had to go back to having lonely days. Thanks to me and Leni he's had people to be with.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Besides, we have many sisters that you can hangout with,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”But I want someone who's around my age to hangout with,” said Lori.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I understand,” said Lincoln, “but you can always hangout with one of our other sisters. Rodney has hardly had anyone to be with ever since his father passed away, while we've always had people to be with.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You're right!” said Lori. “I've been pretty selfish. I'm sorry you two. I wont intrude on your hangouts anymore.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's okay Lori,” said Lincoln. “We know you were just lonely, and didn't mean any trouble.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Now if you'll excuse me, I owe Lola an apology,” said Lori, as she went into the house.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's good that Lori understood,” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I can't wait to go to the pool tomorrow,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Me too!” said Lincoln, as they went into the house.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following day, the three of them were at the pool, and were once again having a great time. “Heads up!” said Rodney, as he tossed a beach ball at Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Got it!” said Leni, as she tossed it over to Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's great to have no interruptions,” said Lincoln, as he spoke to the audience.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile, Mr. Cohen was having some problems with his new employee. “I told you I want to get paid more for my skills,” said the teenager. “I replaced that loser because of how you were impressed by my skills, and I think I should get paid more then you did that slowpoke.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”This kid is so hard to work,” said Mr. Cohen, as he went into the bathroom. “I got to get Rodney back, and fast,” said Mr. Cohen as got out his phone, and called Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The three of them were having fun, when Rodney heard his phone. “It's Mr. Cohen!” said Rodney, as he was confused.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Why would he call you if he fired you?” asked Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Not sure!” said Rodney, as he took the call. “Hello Mr. Cohen!” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”I need you back,” said Mr. Cohen. “I made a huge mistake. You were always such a nice kid, and the boy I replaced you with is a nightmare to work with. He has such a nasty attitude, and he's now demanding a raise. I'm sorry Rodney. I shouldn't have replaced you like that. If you're willing to give me another chance, then I'll give you your job back.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”You mean it?” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes I do Rodney,” said Mr. Cohen. “I'll rehire you, and you can start work again as soon as you can.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks Mr. Cohen!” said Rodney, as he hung up the phone. “I got my job back,” said Rodney, as he was ecstatic.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's awesome!” said Lincoln.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Congrats!” said Leni, as she kissed Rodney on the cheek.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thanks for this last week and a half,” said Rodney. “I really appreciate you two for spending time with me.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Of course buddy,” said Lincoln. “We're always glad to give you some company.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Yes we are,” said Leni, as they continued to enjoy their day.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The following day, Rodney was back at the smoothie stand, and was happy to have his job back. “Thank you for coming back Rodney,” said Mr. Cohen.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Thank you for giving me my job back,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”To make it up to you, I'll raise your wage by two dollars,” said Mr. Cohen.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That's very kind of you sir,” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”No need to be so formal Rodney,” said Mr. Cohen. “Well, looks like you have your first customers for the day,” said Mr. Cohen, as Leni and Lincoln approached.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”The usual!” said Leni, as Rodney prepared their favorite flavors.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Here you go,” said Rodney, as he handed them their smoothies. “It's great to have my job back, but I'm going to miss our daily hangouts.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”We will too,” said Leni.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”That was a really awesome week and a half,” said Lincoln. “We can still hangout with you on your days off.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Sounds great!” said Rodney.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”Later Rodney!” said Leni, and Lincoln, as they left to window shop around the mall.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">-”It's great to have such a great friend like Lincoln, and an amazing girlfriend like Leni,” said Rodney, as he spoke to the audience. “With the two of them, I'll always have people who are there for me,” said Rodney, as he happily went to making smoothies for his customers.
