The Radiant Terriers headed out of town on Saturday for their first gig. They performed some songs they had written for the gig. The crowd enjoyed them, and their gig was a success. Leila looked at her mates and said, "This is our ticket to success. We're going to be famous." Greeley said, "I don't know about that." Abigail said, "I do. The audience loved us. If the right person comes to us, we'll have a record deal." Sammy remarked, "That's right. If the bullies could see us now!" Greeley said, "Indeed. I can't see them on a stage like this." After dinner, the foursome retired to their hotel. It wasn't an extravagant hotel, but the beds were comfortable. As Leila settled down for the night, she began to notice that she was becoming close with her band mates. She had never been this close with anyone other than her aunt and uncle, not even her childhood friends. For once in her life, Leila had true friends, and they were going to be famous together. She just knew it. Whenever Leila had a feeling about something, it was usually right. She went to sleep with a smile on her face, eager to see what tomorrow will bring.
It was summer. Jane and Paula were looking forward to enjoying some time off from school. Neither one of them liked school much, mainly because of the bullying, but they did enjoy each other's company. Jane's Siberian Husky puppy, Shiloh, was growing up fast. Jane said, "Puppies grow up so fast." Paula said, "I know. When we first met, Shiloh was a tiny puppy." Jane said, "Yeah, and she's now getting close to the full size of a typical Siberian Husky." Jane and Paula reminisced about the months since they had met. They had grown very close. They made a pact that they would remain friends for life, no matter what.
