A PEANUTS: The Next Chapter Special

INTRODUCTION/RECAP

Rerun and Piper were over his house watching TV. They were enjoying the summer together and had plans for the 4th of July weekend to hang out with Jonah and Dani at the fair and watch the fireworks later that evening. Rerun then heard a knock on his door. He went to answer it, surprised to see Franco, who had returned from Australia earlier than expected.

"Franco!" said a stunned Rerun. "I thought you were in Australia with my brother and Charlie Brown. What are you doing back this early?"

"Something happened between Patricia and me, Rerun," said a sad Franco. "That's why I'm back. Is your sister around?"

"Unfortunately no. You actually just missed her. She and Schroeder are going to visit his family in Oklahoma."

"Now I remember. I heard that they were going there around this time."

"So what happened with you and Peppermint Patty?"

"A friend of Claudia's cousin came between us. He even was kissing Patricia before I left."

"Wow! Really?!" Franco nodded, and was on the verge of tears yet again. Rerun felt for his friend.

"You're welcome to join me and Piper and watch some TV," Rerun offered. "I know we're younger than you and your friends, but we can be good company."

Franco looked at the youngest Van Pelt and smiled. "Danke, Rerun," he said with a weak smile. He came in and joined the two and enjoyed the afternoon watching TV. Franco decided to wait until Lucy came back to deal with his problems.
