After a long day of school, Henry finally arrives arrives home, he quickly made it to his bedroom and threw his book bag onto his stained flooring. Then, he collapsed onto his bed. He took a long sigh before his stomach growled loudly. He felt empty and was craving something sweet.

An idea rung !

He got off his bed and went outside ; waking down the street.

He was heading to Ralph's place to invite him over for dessert, I mean- who would say no to a snack?

Henry made it in front of Ralph's house, he walked down his organized pathway and raised his fist up to knock on the door.

Knock Knock !!

The door swung open almost immediately which took Henry by surprise. "Oh—hey, Henry!" Ralph greeted, exposing his bright smile.

"Hey, Ralph! Wanna come along for dessert?"

"Sounds great! I'm hungry." Henry looked at what Ralph was wearing—
Black tank top with red shorts.

"Uh- I'll be back in a rolly-mo!" Said Ralph awkwardly as he sprinted upstairs into his room.

Henry entered his house, shut the door and sat on Ralph's 'entrance chair' which was located next to the front door. He waited patiently as his friend was changing into something more casual.

Henry looked around his surroundings, analyzing how every item was decorated. He found an old photo framed with a silky white outline, it was Ralph as a toddler when he lost his very first tooth.

His smile was so wide it revealed a big black gap between his teeth. Ralph was holding onto a dirty soccer ball with his torn uniform.

Henry found himself smiling at the memory of how he was the one who kicked the ball at him.

He was quickly interrupted when Ralph came tumbling down the stairs landing on his bum.

"Ouuuchh!!" He whined.

Henry laughed. "Why so rushed?" He said off of giggles.

"Well I don't want to keep you waiting!" Replied Ralph laughing at himself.

Henry gave him a hand and they both left Ralph's house.

While walking down the pavement they had conversations running every now-and-then. They talked about the most ' random-est ' subjects the whole way there.

Before they knew it—they were right in front of an ice cream shop. Ralph opened the door for Henry as every gentlemen should—once they both stepped inside they found their perfect spot to sit in the very back corner of the store.

They took a seat and a waitress came to hand them a menu.

"What are you getting?" Asked Ralph.
"Hm, I want..." Henry searched for the option he craved the most. "I want chocolate! And you?" Asked, Henry.

Ralph was quick to decide, as he always chooses this flavor. "I'm getting strawberry!"

They both shut their menus and set them aside. Henry had a perfect view of Ralph and the windows behind him. He looked over Ralph's shoulder to spot Margret walking with a teacher, miss Oddbod. He raised an eyebrow at the weird combination between them two. Ralph seemed to notice because he turned around to see what Henry was looking at—but they were gone.

"What ya lookin at, Henry?"

"I think I just saw Margret and OddBod?" Questioned, Henry.

"What? That's strange because no one's there." Chuckled Ralph.
