Goal!: The Final Chapter!

Chapter 5

The next day, Maire is sitting in the backyard along with Axel and Gael.

"It's quiet, too quiet." said Gael, who was sitting on his seat while listening to birds chatter.

"Yes, and even after my surgery, I'm still stuck in this wheelchair." said Maire, as she pointed down to her wheelchair.

Gael looks and Axel look at Maire.

Axel whines, while Gael sighs.

"Maire, you heard the doctor." said Gael, as he reminded her. "It's just for right now, and then later you're going to get through your therapy treatment."

"Rehab." said Maire

"Yeah that." said Gael

"I'm just happy that I'll be able to walk again." said Maire

"Yeah, but first they'll have to take off that big boot of yours." said Gael, as he chuckles while referring to Maire's boot cast.

"The cast boot?" said Maire

"Yeah, didn't you hear? Not only are you going to sit in your wheelchair with your boot on, but you're also going to walk with the boot on as well." said Gael, as he admits.

Maire rolls her wheelchair towards the sliding doors.

"And I thought they're we're going to torture me with just the wheelchair, but nobody told me that I was going to drag a cast boot around with me." said Maire, from the inside of the house.

"Hey, you literally just said that you'll face whatever challenge you'll take after you leave the hospital, remember?" said Gael, as he shouts from outside. "So, you might as well get used to it."

Gael continues to chuckle.   

Just then, Gael gets wet for the 3rd time with a bucket of water.

"Ugh!" said Gael, as he stood up from his seat. "Seriously? Again?"

Maire rolls her wheelchair towards the entrance, while peaking outside of the door.

"What happened to you?" said Maire, as she laughed a little. "Did it rain?"

"You and I both know what happened." said Gael, with a grunt.

"Hey, it wasn't me," said Maire, as she raised her hands in surrender. "In fact, I still can't get up from this wheelchair without any help."

"I know you didn't do this, obviously." said Gael, as water was dripping all over him.

"How many? Two? Or three?" said Maire, as she asked him.

"Three. Counting this one." said Gael

"Any guesses?" said Maire

"I think it's probably Annie and Izzy, who are trying to prank me." said Gael

"Again?" said Maire, with a chuckle. "I don't think so."

"Then who?" said Gael

"Not sure." said Maire

"Then let's have a look." said Gael

Gael, who got tired of getting wet, decides to look over the fence and see who the culprit was.

"Gael! You shouldn't look over the fence, who knows who's on the other side." said Maire, as she scolds him. "It might be rude to look over the fence, if our neighbor was a girl."

"But what if it's a boy?" said Gael, as he looked at Maire. "What if it's a boy, who is trying to prank us out of here? What should we do?"

Maire sighs.

"Gael, if the kid is mean, then maybe his parents are friendly and they don't know what's going on." said Maire, as she tells him.

"Psh, yeah right." said Gael, as he mocks Maire. "I'm taking a shower, since it's cold."

"Yeah, and put on some warm clothes too." said Maire

Gael walks inside the living room before heading upstairs.

"Mijo, again?!" said Aurora, as she looked at a drenched Gael, who passed by her.

"Yes, mother again." said Gael, from the hallway.

Maire chuckles, before turning to Axel.

"So, do you have a clue of who our neighbor is?" said Maire, asking Axel.

Axel looks up at Maire, and lays back down on the floor.

"Yeah, me neither." said Maire, as she starts to wonder who their next door neighbor is.

Neither Maire, Aurora, Diego, or Gael know of who their next door neighbor even is. Maire while opening the sliding door and rolling her wheelchair in, Maire enters the living room.

Meanwhile Axel stays behind, and sniffs the fence after picking up a scent that wasn't Gael's or Maire's. While seeing through the fence's thin spaces that there was a person on the other side of the fence, Axel wags his tail.

"Why hello doggy, what's your name?" said the girl's voice, as she asked Axel.

Just then, Maire tells Axel to come into the apartment, in which he does.

"Goodbye, doggy." said the girl
