Rydel: *I ignored him*
Stormie: "Rydel, come down here sweetie.
I went back down the stairs and sat at the table with mom and Riker. He told me how sorry he was for babying me. We both started tearing up. I grabbed Riker for a comfert hug.

Rydel: *tears up and giggles* I love you too, and thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Stormie: "if it weren't for me what would you do?"
Riker and Rydel: *giggles*

Rydel: "Hey, E-Rat!"
Ratliff then saw Riker: "-
