Sweetheart gazed out the window waving to all her friends until they were out of sight. The four hour drive felt like a four day drive. She tried to focus on the positive side of the move, but could not find one. She reached over to flip on the radio and hers and Teddy's song came on.
"Oh honey, everything will be just fine, you'll see. You know what? We are almost to our new home."
"Oh really, I can hardly wait," Sweetheart thought to herself.
They pulled into the driveway of a beautiful white house with gray shutters.
"Here we are!" Sweetheart helped her mom get the triplets out of the car and in they went to explore the new house they would call home.
"Ace, have you talked to Teddy lately?" Starlight asked him as she met him at his locker after 5th period. "It has been four days and he has been so quiet and distant from all of us. I am getting worried."
"Starlight, he has a broken heart. The love of his life is four hours away. I don't think that after four days he is going to be all energetic and happy, do you?" Ace glanced at his girlfriend as she shock her head. "I promise to go talk to him today."
Ace kissed Starlight's cheek and went on his way to find Teddy and cheer him up. But first he had to go find Lancer to come along with him. Ace figured that he might need some help and making fun of Lancer always seems to make Teddy laugh.
Teddy sat on the curb in front of Sweetheart's old house. He was reminiscing of all the times he would walk her to the door and kiss her good night. She would be so paranoid, because she thought her dad would catch them kissing. A small smile came across his face.
"Dude, there you are! I was getting ready to file a missing pony report."
"Cut it out Ace, I am not in the mood."
Lancer sat down beside Teddy, "Maybe it would be helpful to talk about how you are feeling."
"Can the psychologist gimmick, Lance."
"You know I do not want to say this but Lance is right," Ace chimed in.
"Okay, you want to talk, let's talk. I am miserable. I miss Sweetheart like crazy. I hate not knowing what she is doing, who she is hanging out with, and who is hitting on her. I hate to think that I'd have to go up there and kick someone's ass who messes with my girl."
"Now, was that very hard?" asked Ace.
""Don't you feel better?"
Teddy shrugged, "NO."
"How about a game of soccer with all the guys. We can get Chase, Dandy, Buddy, and Spinner together and have a great game," Ace didn't want to wait for Teddy's answer. So he grabbed Teddy's arm as the three of them got into Teddy's car and drove off to the soccer field.
