The members of The Devil Wants Peace and the members of New Religion had recorded an album together. After some time passed, they met to go on tour together. The two bands greeted each other when they saw each other. Erin asked, "John, how's your new dog, Thunder?" He said, "He's doing really well. I left him in the care of Grace and her aunt and uncle." Paul said, "I think you asked the right people to look after him." John asked, "What about your dogs, Yukon and Nunavut?" Paul said, "They're with my mother." The bands' first stop was in Chicago. Once there, they ate at a local restaurant. After they ate, Erin said, "You know something, even though we've toured for a few years, I don't think we've ever been to Chicago." Carl said, "No, we haven't." Paul said, "I can see why they call it Windy City." Lola said, "It is really windy, isn't it?" John said, "All of Illinois is like that." Allen said, "That's right. The whole state is flatter than a duck's footprint." Peter said, "It's definitely not my favorite state when it comes to walking. It feels like you're going uphill all the time." Stan nodded in agreement. The next day, the two bands performed together for the first time in front of a live audience. It was a stunning performance. After the concert, they retired to the hotel, exhausted, but pleased with the concert's turnout.

After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If you hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do you want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. You can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. You have family and friends who love you." Gavin said, "That's right. You don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If you hurt yourself, you won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt you all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some friends and lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest friends until the end of time.

Some time passed, and Leah and Shaun were virtually inseparable. Leah and Emily were still close friends. Emily later met a better guy named Bradley. This time, Leah didn't have feelings for the guy who chose Emily. Leah remained fond of Shaun. Shaun was really fond of Leah and valued Emily as a close friend. Even when they graduated high school, the friends were still together. It seemed that nothing could tear them apart. Leah never forgot what Shaun told her about not throwing away a perfectly good friendship over romance.
