"Dude, what did they say? Why are we leaving?" Big Red asks as him and Ricky leave the school.
"'Cause, Operation Troy was a huge mistake. It just made things worse." Ricky replies.
"There you are!" Carlos shots running after them, causing the two boys to stop. "Miss Jenn wants everyone back in the room."
"Tell Miss Jenn I'm done. Okay? Sorry, I can't dance like Fred Rogers." Ricky says.
"It's Fred Astaire. Fred Rogers is Mr Rogers. He never danced, he potty- trained puppets." Carlos explains.
"Seriously? I was surprised they made dolls that could cry." Big Red says.
"Ricky, please you have to..." Carlos starts.
"Summer and Nini are right." Ricky cuts in. "I'm taking up space. I don't belong on stage."
"So untrue, you..." Carlos starts.
"Save it, Carlos." Ricky tells him. "You don't want me in this. If I go back, Summer will probably quit. And you need her a lot more then you need me."
Ricky then walks away and Big Red follows.
"Do you want to come to my house?" Big Red asks. "I'll go to yours."
"Nah, it's weird there right now." Ricky says.
"Is your mom back from Chicago yet?" Big Red asks.
"No, and I don't think she's there just for work." Ricky responds.
"Why would she want to be there then?" Big Red asks.
"Because my dads not." Ricky answers. "Thanks bro, really. I just need some alone time." Ricky tells him before skateboarding away.

After what happened with Ricky, Summer went straight home. Her parents weren't home so she went straight to her room. She flops onto her head and groans placing her hands on her head.
"Summy?" Summer looks over to see Ellie wearing her sweater.
"Hey El." Summer replies.
"What do you think?" Ellie asks walking over to stand beside the bed raising her arms up.
"I think, that until  it does fit me anymore, that sweatshirt belongs to me." Summer says sitting up on her elbows using one of her arms to point to the sweatshirt then herself.
"So what happened?" Ellie asks sitting down on the bed.
"What do you mean?" Summer asks.
"I saw you flop onto the bed and groan placing your hands over her face. So what happened? Who do I need to go yell at?" Ellie asks causing Summer to laugh.
"You don't need to yell at anyone. It's just Ricky." Summer says.
"What did he do this time?" Ellie asks. "Did he finally confess his feelings for you?"
"No, he just isn't taking the production seriously. That and pretty much all my friends think I'm crazy because I am dating someone who they think is a bad person." Summer says.
"You have a boyfriend! Why didn't you tell me?" Ellie asks.
"Because I didn't want you blabbering about it." Summer answers. "But you got to promise me not to tell mom and dad. I really like him, and if they find out they will make me break up with him."
"Pinky promise." Ellie says holding her pinky finger out.
"Pinky promise." Summer repeats wrapping her pinky around her sisters.
They both also stick out their thumbs kissing them before unlinking their pinkies.
"I better meet this guy soon." Ellie says.
"Trust me, he can't wait to meet you." Summer says with a smile.
"Good." Ellie says before the door opens. "Mom and dad are home."
"Do you have any homework?" Summer asks.
"Noooo." Ellie says suspiciously.
"I'll take that as a yes." Summer says with a laugh as Ellie sighs. "You go get started, I'll go make us dinner, we can eat in here then I will help you with your homework after, okay?"
"Okay." Ellie says before going to her room.
Summer does the same she did when she first entered her room before sighing standing up and going downstairs.
