When she says yes, he runs over to his friend Mike's house and asks if he come out to play with him. Together, they decide to go to their favorite place to play-the park. They romp on the swings and play on the slide and the monkey bars. After a few hours, they are tired and decide it's time to walk home for dinner. On the way, they see their favorite tree and decide to climb it. As they are climbing, they notice a very bright light at the top of the tree. While Ralphie decides to continue to climb to investigate what the bright light is, Mike decides to go home so he won't be late for dinner. Neither of them could have expected what Ralphie discovers at the top of that tree Ralphie learns how to be a true friend to someone who needs it in the delightful story of Ralphie's After-School Adventure.
