Chapter 20

It was Tuesday morning, and Amy was back at school. 

It was now three that afternoon, and school was over, and it was an uneventful day of learning. 

Amy walked down the hallway that led to the front doors with Laurie and Randall.

“Randall, are you still doing your volunteer work at your grandmother’s nursing home?” Amy asked him.

“Yeah, but I can’t get anybody here at school to help out,” he replied and looked disappointed. 

“I’ll tell you what, I would love to help you out,” she said then held his hand.

“Okay!” Randall replied and looked happy to be holding her hand.

“And Laurie will help out also,” Amy said while she looked at her friend.

“Ah sure,” Laurie replied.

Amy, Laurie, and Randall walked out of the front doors of the school.

“Hi, Amy,” a girls voice call out.

Amy looked around for the person that called her and saw two girls and two boys around her age who all were dressed in hip clothes. “Hi, do I know you?” she asked.

“Of course you do,” the young girl said.

Amy looked at the four teenagers, and then it dawned on her who they were. “Wilma?” she cried out and seemed surprised when she remembered the picture of Wilma at the beach when she was 19 years old.

“The one and only,” Wilma replied with a warm smile. 

Amy looked at the other teenagers. “And that must be Dorothy, Edith, Wilbur, and Barney,” she said.

Laurie and Randall looked shocked at the sight of the four teenagers.

It dawned on Amy what Wilma and her friends did.  “I don’t believe it,” she said.

“We just had to try it!” Wilma replied.

Barney and Wilbur checked out some female students while they walked out of the school entrance.

“Why?” Amy asked.

“We thought we would take a different type of vacation for a couple of weeks,” Edith said.

“You know, relive our spring break days then we’ll return to our old-self,” Dorothy said, and she checked out a couple of guys that walked out of the school entrance.

“I can’t wait to wear a slender bathing suit again,” Wilma said.

“Just think, all those girls wearing skimpy bathing suits at the beach,” Barney’s eyes it up.

“Maybe we can get a date?” Wilbur added.

Amy, Laurie, and Randall chuckled over Barney and Wilbur’s behavior.

“Maybe I could warn the girls over in Santa Monica beach,” Amy jokingly told Wilma.

“Yeah, that might not hurt,” replied Wilma with a chuckle.

“Be careful,” Amy told Wilma and hugged her.

Barney held out his arms for a hug.

Amy chuckled and hugged Barney.

“Come on, gang, we have a long drive,” Wilma told them.

Amy, Laurie, Randall walked away with Wilma, Dorothy, Edith, Wilbur, and Barney to the parking lot.

Amy, Laurie, and Randall headed home in Laurie’s Corolla.

Wilma, Dorothy, Edith, Wilbur, and Barney got inside Barney’s Impala and headed west with Santa Monica beach as their destination.
