Bed time story

"Time for bed Chris" the little boy's dad told him as he tucked him in.
"Tell me a story please daddy" Chris said as he snuggled into his coy boy bed spread.
"Alright…this is a story of courage and bravery" the dad said clearing his throat and began his story.
One afternoon Mrs. Johnson's fourth grade class was let out. Little Stacy made her way home keeping to herself. She was the shy one who had yet to blossom. She still held onto her baby fat, but that didn't mean she had her own beauty. The older six grade kid liked to tease her for her looks, not caring about her feelings.  Every day after school the boys would converge around Stacy pulling at her hair, calling her names, picking and pulling at her very brittle emotions. One faithful after noon a young boy from her class, Randy, saw the older boys teasing Stacy. Randy bit his lip, he knew what was like to be teased, he had just moved to the town and a lot of people liked to tease the new kid in town.  He watched them pull her hair as she cried begging them to stop. Randy formed his small hands into small fist; he couldn't protract this any longer. He had to stop this, no matter how scared he was. He walked over to them and glared at the taller boys standing his ground.
   "Leave her alone!" he declared. "You don't bully ladies." The older boys looked at the younger one surprised. They looked at each other shrugging.
    "Then we'll bully you" The main one said.
     "Fine! Go ahead as long as you leave her alone." He said getting ready for any attack the older kids might throw at him. He stood there waiting with his eyes closed scared to see what might come. All he heard was some mumbling and the occasional sniffle from Stacy who was now standing behind Randy. It felt like a million years had passed before he opened an eye and saw the boys walking off. He was shocked but neither less he turned to face Stacy. "Are you okay?"  He asked her.
    "Y-yeah thanks for doing that…you were so brave to stand up to those meanies" Stacy said
     "Well….it wasn't nice of them to tease you like that." He told her.
       "Yeah…" she quickly hugged him, as a token of her appreciation. "I'm Stacy"
      "And I'm Randy" he said "Wanna be friends?" he asked her.
         "Of course" she said in a more felicitous tone.
         "Good and I'll keep those bullies away from you I promise." He told her.
         "Alright" she nodded and walked off with him heading home. From that day on Randy would walk with Stacy home, and no longer did the older kids bully her.
"The end…" Chris's dad said looking down seeing the sleeping boy with a light smile on his face.
"Awe that is my favorite story, you know that?" A voiced asked from the door way.
  "Yeah I do." He said getting up hugging the female that was at the door.
   "And your still my brave man Randy" Stacy said smiling kissing his cheek.
   "I'm glad to know. If I wasn't a brave man…well back then a boy, I would of never of met you" he said.
  "Well I'm glad you had that courage." She told him. The two smiled holding each other hands and headed off to leave their son to sleep.
