The next day at the school playground, it's the same as yesterday with Becky and Bob on the swings without Violet. She looks depressed, and I wonder if my lecture could get her former friend to reconsider.

"Oh, hello, girl I don't know," Violet showed up this time, but wait a minute. "My name is Violet. Is this swing taken?"

I'm confused to what's she doing. First, she calls Becky 'girl I know with two different names', and now 'girl I don't know'.

Is she acting like how before she met her?

Bob screeched happily by showing the third swing is not taken.

"Thank you, kind monkey sir," Violet happily sits on the swing.

"Uh, Violet, what are you doing?" Becky asked her with confusion.

"I'm asking the same thing," I muttered while I leaned on this tree I'm standing on so I can see their progress without being seen.

"Well, I just thought maybe it would be nice if you and I started over," was her reply.

I see...

Now I understand what she is doing.

Looks like she got my lecture after all.

"So, I'm Violet," she said happily, acting like before she met Becky. "What is your name?"

"I'm Becky!" the latter replied happily before she realized she's expecting her to reveal her secret. "Well, sometimes I fight crime as Wordgirl."

As I watched this...

"It's about time," I muttered. "What does it take for her to show her secret? Come to think of it, what does it take for that Number One Hyperactive Ninja to spill his secret on how is he trying to surpass me?"

"Well, you know Naruto," the Narrator spoke. "He's trying to get your approval."

"I just can't acknowledge his abilities because if I do, I feel like I'm not strong enough."

Back to Becky and Violet...

"Wow, that's some pretty amazing info you gave someone you just meeeet!" the latter cheered softly.

"What can I say?" the former gets off from her swing, also looking happy. "I have a feeling you and I are going to be best friends."

That's when they hug each other.

I sighed.

"Maybe there's a glimpse of friendship between Naruto and I just like those two girls even if we're rivals. Maybe I should try doing this 'starting over' thing with that knucklehead as soon as I returned to the Hidden Leaf Village. Even if I don't care what training he has been through to become stronger than me, it's worth it."

"Are we really going to start our friendship over from the beginning?" Becky asked.

"Nah, people always said that at the movies, and I just wanted to see how it sounded," Violet replied happily.

Fair enough.

I like to see how it sounded when I try this on Naruto when I returned home. Just as those two girls are about to have their activity together, they saw a five-headed giant robot piloted by five villains. Violet allowed Becky to go into action as Wordgirl to stop this menace, but not Bob.

"Since you're coming clean, I'll take you a bath," she said while holding his arm.

"Hey, Violet," I called for her as I approached her, and she faced me. I smiled as I gave her a thumbs up. "Good job. I'm really proud of you."

"Why, thank you, Sasuke, for saying something like that," Violet is surprised that I smiled at her. She lets Bob go so that we can talk privately.

"That's all I needed for my mission back at the Hidden Leaf," I added.

"What's your mission?" she asked.

"To write an essay about how to rebuild a friendship, and this whole experience is my inspiration," I told her.

"I see... Well, good luck on trying to rebuild your friendship with your best friend," Violet wished me luck.

"Thank you for saying that. We have a lot in common..." I disappeared after saying this to her.

"Than what we each other think of," she finished my sentence.

As I returned to the Leaf, I hope I would surprise Naruto on what I have learned.
The conclusion...

Sasuke and Violet acknowledged that they do have a lot in common at the end of Rhyme and Reason.

Nice way to end the Word Girl series on a high note.
