Lenny brought us outside to see that he got a horse drawn carriage to take us to the festival tonight. We all get in, I sit next to Greg and he puts his arm around me. Everyone but Lenny and Eric stared at us, they smiled. (Outfit above)

"Wait...when did this happen?" Dad asks.

"2 days ago." I say blushing.

I look around and see them handing each other money.

"How many of you bet on when we were gonna get together?" Greg asks and everyone raises an hand and laugh.

Greg, Andre, Ty and I are currently standing on a floating mattress on the lake setting up our contraption to launch Andre and I into the water.

"Okay take your position." Greg tells us. I sit in the front.

"I don't know man, this seems crazy." Andre tells him.

"Oh come on it'll be fun, besides I spent all morning blowing this thing up." Ty says.

"You should be alright." Donna says, she's currently holding the mattress in place.

"Should be?" Andre asks. He gets on the mattress with me and Greg and Ty climb up the ladder thing and stood at the top.

"You ready?" Greg asks us. Andre looked up at them and nodded as I give them a thumbs up.

"GO!" Greg yells and they jumped sending Andre and I into the air. I did as many flips as I could and end in a cannon ball. When we resurface we hold our fists in the air.

"Let's do that again!" We yell in sync.

Later we're all sitting regent her eating watermelon. Well I'm eating cherries while they eat watermelon. The guy from the water park approaches us.

"You really wanna do this Bailey?" Lenny asks.

"My five agains got five." Bailey says.

"Oh boy look at this. I see the boys stayed in shape." Lenny jokes as 4 others walk up.

"Look fellas we just wanna relax and eat watermelon and cherries if that's alright." Lenny says.

"No that's not alright. You're not gonna weasel outta this one Feder. Wiley snuck out of intensive care just to see you get your justice." Bailey tells him.

"Hey Wiley how'd the field goal taste?" Lenny asks

"Heard that one before. Wanna get something off the top shelf for me? Heard that one a lot too." Wiley says.

"Seriously Dickie, let us just hang out with our families and relax." Lenny says.

"Yeah they're afraid of us." Tej one eating a hotdog says.

"We're afraid you'll eat the ball before we even start." Dad and I say in sync while Greg laughs. Dad and I smirk at each other then we fist bump.

"Same old Higgins. You can talk the talk but you can't, uh I forgot the rest." The one with a crossed eye says.

"We got Robby here with the bad foot, you won't be able to do it right buddy?" Lenny asks. Rob stands up.

"I think if the Buzzer was here he'd want me to try. I think he'd want us all to try." Rob says.

"Alright let's do this thing." Lenny says and everyone cheers. While the Fab Five go to change, I sit down between Becky and Greg and we wait.

A minute later Keitie pointed to something.

"Guys look!" He yells. We all look to where he points to and see the Fab Five walking down to the court. Everyone starts clapping and I laugh as Kurt steps on Robs hurt foot.

We watch as they start to play and try score twice. The ball soon lands in Rob's hands.

"Hey guys Motion 78!" He says. Rob passes the ball to my dad and dad moved the ball in a circle to confuse the guy that's blocking him. Dad then passed it to Eric, who tricked the guy blocking him to think he was going one way but Eric actually passed the other way to Kurt. The ball bounces off of his head and the crowd 'Ooo'ed'. Then Lenny grabbed the ball and shot it, of course making it and everyone cheers.

"Hey Y where's M C A?" Dad asks Wiley which causes people around them to laugh.

Curly then starts to bark and the cross eyed guy who had the ball looks around.

"What the hell is that? It sounds like 2 owls having sex." He says. While he's distracted Lenny steals the ball and passes it to dad. Dad shot and made it.

They continue to make shots back and forth after awhile a lot of the get tired.

"Greggie." Lenny calls.

"Me?" Greg asks pointing to himself. I push him up.

"Let's go Greg!" I yell.

"Somebody fill up the jug with some boss water for the Hollywood kid." Dickie says.

"It's Voss with a V." Greg states.

"You tell em Hollywood!" I yell.

The Feder's start out with the ball. Lenny passes the ball to Greg and he passes it back to his dad. He shoots and scores, the family cheers for them including me. The game continues and the Bailey's have the ball this time. They passed the ball back and forth for awhile until Dickie shoots it and scores but his foot was on the line when he did.

"Foul! His foot was on the line!" Kurt and I yell in sync. Lenny shrugs it off.

"Next basket wins." He tells Dickie.

The Feder's have the ball, Lenny passes it to Greg and he passes it back. Lenny then passes it back after a little while and Greg turns around to act like he's gonna shoot it, but passes it back to his dad behind his back.

This is it the match point. Lenny looks around and shoots a bank shot but to everyone's surprise he misses. I gasp quietly, he gave them the win. He was looking around at Dickie's family and team!

"Hollywood goes down!" Dickie goes around cheering.

I watch Greg say something to his dad and they hug. Greg walk away and I walk up to Lenny.

"I know you what you did." I say to him.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"You threw the match." I say and he looks at me in shock.

"How'd you know?"

"You looked at Dickie's team and family. Also the fact that you never miss the bank shot." I say while smiling. He laughs and masses up my hair. I scrunch my nose and walk over to Greg. I hug him and he hugs back then we pull away.

"You did great Hollywood." I say and kiss his cheek.

Later I sit down next to Greg and we hold hands as we watch the fireworks. I lean my head on his shoulder and look over to see both Keithie and Donna holding hands and Ty and Charlie holding hands too. I smile to myself and continue to watch all the colors blow up in the sky.

"Alright everybody! Last one to stay wins!" Dad yells as he shoots an arrow into the sky. I scream and run away while holding hands with Greg.
