Chapter 3- Pinocchio's reunitement

Lee went upstairs and took a nice warm bath. She didn't want to stink. As she relaxed in the warm water as it touched her skin, she thought of the day they met. "Has he changed? Does he remember me?" asked lee herself. 15 minutes later, she got out and went to go get ready.

"Duckling, what dress should I go for?" asked lee as she went through her closet. "The short sleeved green sundress" said Duckling as she lay on her bed. Lee put it on and she looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled with approval and sat on her bed. "I can't believe I'm going to see Pinocchio again" said Lee as she went through her iphone. She got a text. "It's from Pinocchio!" said lee as she jumped onto duckling's bed. "What's it say?" asked duckling. She read aloud and smiled, "Hey lee. I miss you. I think of you every day"

Pinocchio came downstairs in his usual outfit. "Well rabbit, you ready?" asked Pinocchio. "Oh I'm ready. They want us there early" said Rabbit with a smirk. "Ok…and what's with the smirk?" asked Pinocchio curious as he headed out the door.

As they neared the house, Pino got curious. "So peter's house was sold?" asked Pinocchio. "Yeah, now he won't bully us anymore" said rabbit. Pinocchio smiled and walked for the house. Rabbit knocked on the door.

"He's here, stay here till I give the signal" said Duckling. Lee's head bolted up and she squealed with excitement. Duckling ran downstairs.

"Rabbit, who the heck is our new neighbor, tell me!" yelled Pinocchio as he got in front of rabbit. The door opened. "Duckling!" yelled rabbit. Pinocchio bolted around to see the duck he remembered from the skate hop. "Rabbit, it's good to see you! You too Pinocchio!" said duckling with a smile. "Wait! If duckling is here does that mean…" Pinocchio stopped in the middle of the sentence. He thought and gasped. "WHERE'S LEE!" asked Pinocchio as he held her shoulders.

Duckling brought them inside. "Hey lee, someone is here to see you" said duckling. Pinocchio heard lee come down the steps and smiled. He turned around as he heard the steps. "Who's here duckling?" asked lee as she made it to the bottom of the steps. Tears started to form in Pinocchio's eyes. Lee reached the bottom and went to the kitchen where they were. "You'll like this guy! He's nice!" said duckling as he pushed Pinocchio forward a little. Lee turned and stopped in her tracks and Pinocchio's smile went wide. Tears started to form in Lee's eyes as well.

Pino walked forward and held out his arms. "Hello…Neighbor" said pino choked up. Lee started to cry and smile as she ran into his arms and hugged him tight. "Pino…Is it you?" asked lee. "Yes lee…It's me!" cried Pinocchio as he caressed her face. "I thought I'd never see you again!" said Lee. "Me either" said Pinocchio. He pulled out his phone and texted something to lee. She opened it and read two words…"Kiss Me"

She looked at him and smiled. Pinocchio slowly took two fingers and placed it under lees chin and lifted it a bit. Lee touched his cheek and smiled. They then closed their eyes and for the first time ever in years, they shared a kiss.
