This tells about two friends that met at the beach. They went to school together but now one was in college and the other didn't do much, he had memory problems so he was in a reformatory for a few years. He had a hard time to remember things, he needed people to remind him a little and then he would remember things with details. His friend Steve always worried about things, but Rusty just loved fighting. When they were in junior high school they hanged out at Benny's that was the popular place for junior high school kids. Rusty had a lot of scars from the fights he was in during that time. When Steve met Rusty he was looking at a big scar Rusty had and that made Rusty remember every thing about that fight. Then they were together at dinner time and talked about good times in school, but Rusty was not happy because he again started remembering about all this fights and when a boy named Biff wanted to kill him because he had said something to a girl in school, etc. Rusty was not scared of fighting, he loved fighting, so he was just going to fight with Biff at the place and time Biff said. Rusty was just scared of being alone, so he wanted to be with his friends as an audience the day of the fight. His best friend Steve told him that he knew how that fight probable was going to end and also told him not to forget what the motorcycle boy said about gang fights. Rusty got very mad because the motorcycle boy was not there, he hadn't seen him for two weeks and didn't know if he was going to be back. He was his brother that he loved and wanted to be like him, but he used to borrow or steal cycles and then went away without telling anybody, and now he was gone. The day of the fight Rusty was there with some friends but his best friend was not there, he arrived late, but was there next to his friend at the end. The fight started and Biff had a knife, but Rusty got a bike chain from a friend and that helped him to get his enemy on the ground. No one was killed and the fight stopped when the motorcycle boy arrived and said that he thought they had stopped all that "Cowboy and Indian crap" like he asked them. At that time Biff cut Rusty with the knife but the motorcycle boy stopped everything and every body left. Rusty, his brother and best friend Steve went back home and helped Rusty with his wound. At the end Rusty was with his father and brother, and not alone.
