Chapter 16: The Race Home
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWith Sloane, Ferris and Rainbow they were at Sloane's house saying their goodbyes.
"I had a great time today." Sloane said.
"Yeah. It was pretty cool." Ferris said.
"It was more than cool. It was awesome. Im so glad I met you Ferris." Rainbow said.
"Do you..Do you think Cameron's gonna be okay?" Sloane said.
"Oh yeah. Yeah sure for the first time in his life. He's gonna be just fine." Ferris said.
Then the two smiled and leaned in close to each other.
"You knew what you were doing when you woke up this morning didn't you?" Sloane said.
"Yeah man. You totally planned this." Rainbow said.
"Me? No." Ferris said but Rainbow smirked knowing he was lying.
Then the two shared one last kiss before Ferris looked on the watch and realized it was almost 6pm.
"Oh shit. It's almost 6. We have to go." Ferris said.
"You're right. Come on!" Rainbow said as the two ran off hoping to get their in time.
"I love you!" Sloane said.
"I love you too!" Ferris said.
"He's gonna marry me." Sloane said knowing her dreams will come true. Ferris and Rainbow ran straight back to Ferris's house.
With Mrs Bueller and Jeanie her mom was still mad at his daughter.
"Do you know what it's like to be pulled out of work to pick up your daughter at the police station?" Mrs Bueller said.
"No not really." Jeanie said.
"Well, on top of everything else I was about to close the damn deal with the Vermont people!" Mrs Bueller said.
"Im sorry." Jeanie said.
"I was gonna take my commission and buy Ferris a car." Mrs Bueller said.
Back with Ferris and Rainbow they kept running til they stopped seeing his sister and mom in the car. Then they knew it was on now! The two ran fast as they can to reach the house before they do. Ferris knew that if Jeanie gets there first they are both busted. So Ferris used some shortcuts to by some time. And as luck would have it the police car was slowing them down making it easier for Rainbow and Ferris. This race lasted for a while of course their were some obstacles they needed to dodge but the two kept going to beat them in time. Then at one of the backyards they jumped on a trampoline and made it to the house but the backdoor was locked they looked for the key but then a black torn shoe stepped in front of them. It was none other than Rooney.
"Looking for this?" Rooney said holding it.
The two were shocked seeing Rooney in front of them.
"You. You're Rooney. The guy Ferris told me." Rainbow said.
The parents were heading inside the house to check on Ferris. Back with Ferris and Rainbow they were still shocked seeing Rooney.
"You're the guy that Ferris always made an ass out of." Rainbow said
"You damn right. But this time I got you Ferris and you. I have dreamed about this. This time goddamn you little bastard I got you right where I want you. So how would you feel about another year of high school? Under my close personal supervision. As for you 'Rainbow' I think the police would love to see you at the station." Rooney said as Jeanie opened the door.
"Hi. Thank god you're all right. You know we've been worried sick about you." Jeanie said as she winked at Ferris knowing she as his back. Rainbow smiled at that.
"Thank you Mr. Rooney for driving him home." Jeanie said making Rooney confused.
"Now I want the both of you to get upstairs and in bed. Scoot!" Jeanie said.
The two obeyed her and headed to the bedroom. Rooney was about to explode.
"Can you imagine someone as sick as Ferris trying to walk home from the hospital? Oh kids. By the way Mr Rooney you left your wallet on the kitchen floor." Jeanie said.
Rooney was now even more shocked than ever and she threw his wallet in the water and slammed the door waking up the dog. It growled and attacked Rooney while he yelled in pain. The two ran in the bedroom and Rainbow hid behind the bed while Ferris took his clothes off and got in. But his radio was still on. So he used a baseball to shut it off and it landed in his glove and quickly laid down. And on cue his parents came in. His mother placed her hand on his head.
"He's still awfully warm." Mrs Bueller said.
"How you feeling?" Mr Bueller said.
"150% better. Thank you. Please don't make me stay home again. I wanna go to school. I have to graduate in June and i-i..." Ferris said.
"Ferris you're sick. Now don't go pushing yourself and making it worse. " Mr. Bueller said.
"Maybe your right dad." Ferris said.
"I know im right pal." Mr Bueller said.
"How did you get to be so sweet?" Mrs Bueller said.
"Years of practice." Ferris said.
His parents smiled and gave him a blanket. Then they left to get settled in and shut the door. Ferris sighed in relief and Rainbow came out of her hiding spot.
"Ferris. Thank you so much for everything you did for me today. I will never forget that buddy. Now I gotta get home. Hope to see you around." Rainbow said as she winked at him and went out the window and headed home.
Ferris smiled and had one last thing to say. "Yep. I said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around every once in a while you could miss it."
He smiled and we know he's right.
