"Come on guys!" Sammy shouted. "You're stinkin slow!!" She laughed as she looked back at her friends, Ro, Mitchy, and Ella trotting along the path. She swiftyly rode down the hill on her board.
"Sam watch out!!" the girls warned, but it was too late. A car had zoomed right pass the spot where Sam was headed. (fadeout/fade in) Sirens rang loudly throughout the entire street. Police cars and an ambulance surrounded the skater girl's former location.
"Oh my gosh.." Mitchy trailed off and covered her eyes. The others were speachless.
"Coming ladies?" an officer called out to them. They nodded and followed the cop into his car...
Samori opened her eyes to find herself in a bright place, the light shining right above her face. "Aw dude!!" she exclaimed. "Im dead!". "Tell me Im dreaming.." she pleaded closing her eyes and pinching herself. "Ouch! No..Im not dreaming!" She sat up and panicked. "Im really dead!!" Still feeling a little stirred up in thoughts and temporarily knowlegeless of the past being, she rubbed her eyes. "Oh gravy. I knew I'd never have a nice death...what part of heaven is this anyway??" Then there was a voice. "Uh who's there?! God??" She power-freaked and sat up.
"Yeah...god.." A manly voice laughed. "Never thought I'd see you again. Especially in the hospital.." Sam realized that she was not dead and in a medical room. "Actually, I just never thought I would see you again." Sam starred right into the doctor's eyes.
"I know you right?" she asked.
"Does 'i never thought i would see you again' ring a bell?" the man reminded. "Anyway if you havn't realized, you've manage to get into a real bad accident. Broke yourself pretty bad."
"Ugh...you!" the patient remembered. "Out of all medi-people in the world...it had to be you."
"Like I said before, I never thought this would happen either."
"Oh thank you Mr. Knox. I couldn't have survived without you."
"Just doing my job."
"I was being sarcastic!" A bunch of screaming girls barged into the room. It was actually the rest of the IC crew.
"Sammy!!" MJ screeched. "You're alive!!" They all dropped their 'get well' presents onto her bed.
"Yeah.. whoo hoo." greeted Samori said dully. "Thanks for the pressies. Very..neat?" She opened each gift one at a time. "A..thanks Cordy." she cracked half a smile and stared at a pink shirt with the words 'skater girl' and a picture of a skateboard on it. "I'll concider wearing it even if it's..pink."
"Brownies!" Ella dropped a bag of them on her injured friend's lap.
"Um I was gonna get you strippers, but they told me not to." Ro giggled.
"That's okay.." Sammy gulped. "I feel so loved. Anyway can ya get me outta this dump? We dont click."
"Sorry to spoil your ingenious plan Samori," the doc informed. "but we still need to take some tests."
"What am I your stinkin' barbie doll?" The girls starred at him with the same confused look as Sam did before.
"Um.. what's your name.." Ella thought.
"Eric!!" Mitchy exclaimed. "Eric Knox! Ew.. you're a doctor."
"Tests.." Sammy frowned. "I get it. You wanna get a peek at skin and you'll use an x-ray to do that."
"No way man!" Eric raised his hands up in surrender. "That's the last thing I'd ever think of doing. Especially with you."
"Yeah sure." Rolina said sarcastically.
"Help! My doctor is perverted!!" Samori shrieked.
"Bye Sam." the girls sighed.
"Can't really help ya dudette." Mitchiru grinned. "See ya tomorrow."
"Have fun with Dr. Knox" Ro teased.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Doctor, a buzz from room 529. (hint: hookup date)" the lady at the information desk gestured towards the direction of the room.
"Oh my gosh.." the doctor sighed. "Will she ever give me a break? I mean, ever since five in the morning..." Mr. Knox made was on his way as the attendent laughed. He entered room 529 looking half asleep. "What do you want now Samori?"
"Finally.." Sam yawned. "The hospital needs faster servants for the patients. I thought you'd never come."
"Well at the request of special care from your good friend Mitchiru," he rolled his eyes. "I have to stay here with you for twelve hours every day until you leave. If only I didn't have this much passion for my job, and my salary wasn't this great. I would definetely not be here right now." Sleepily, he took a seat next to her bed.
"Im sorry," Sam apologized. "Have I been giving you a hard time?" Eric coughed.
"Well then, I guess I will just make you more miserable." An evil grin formed on her face. "I'll let you for now though, since Im nice. Tomorrow, will be hell for you. You should make a list of my demands. I'll need the tv fixed, some video games, some candy while you're at it, and ...." She turned to him finding that she was talking to herself, and that he had fallen asleep. "Ugh...rude much."
~ ~ ~
"Yeah like, so he's like completely boring." The restless Doctor awoke to his special patient's blabbering. "Oh my gosh! You better have taped that for me. I can't miss that episode. I can't miss any episode!" Talking on the phone this early he thought. He asked himself, why me? "You totally need to tape that! I can't believe this stupid accident is keeping me from watching my show. It's so not fair."
"Hey Sam," Eric called softly. He stretched his arms, still positioned in the same seat he was in a few hours ago.
"Hold on Mitch," Holding her hand over the phone, Samori turns and gives Knox a look of disgust. "Do you mind?" Eric frowns and rubs his eyes. The girl returns her attention to her friend on the phone. "Can you belive this dude? I mean like, can he be anymore ruder?"
"Eh he totally fell asleep on me last night." Sammy babbled on. "No, not literally. Like in the chair next to my bed. I was talking to him about how I was gonna make him miserable for the whole time I'm here. What do you mean, 'that's mean'?! Do you remember what happened between us? 'Get over it'? 'Get over it'?! I can't believe you! How can you tell me to get over it? Do you have any idea what I went through?"
"So?! It's time for revenge, payback!" the wanted vengence grew within her. "Yeah right. I'll let it go when I'm dead. Yeah yeah..bye." She hung up her cell and slammed it on the little table on the other side of her. Doctor K. jumped up from his seat.
"Wh-what??" he panicked.
"Hold your face dude. It was just my phone."
"Oh." (notice Im getting lazy with the extra details)
"Wanna play a game Eric?"
"No." said the doctor firmly.
"Why not?!" Sam whined. "Come on pleeease!?"
"Fine." he agreed. "What kind of game?"
"Im glad you asked. Wanna play truth or dare?"
"Okay whatever."
"Cool. I ask you first. Truth or dare?"
"Um truth."
"Are you sure?" She paused and waited for his final answer. He nodded. "Oh ok. Umm... are you still a virgin." Knox's eyes lit up.
"Um no.." he shook his head nervously. "No."
"Oh, who is she?"
"Ah, that's a different question." Grr. He saved himself that time. "How about you?"
"I didn't say I wanted 'truth'."
"Oh, well..then I dare you to.."
"Wait, I pick truth now."
"Uh ok. You. Are you still?"
"Excuse me, but that's a personal question." Samori tried to hide her smirk as she crossed her arms. "We're not playing personal truth or dare."
"But!" Eric was about to object, but Sam quickly interupted him.
"Nobody made you answer my question. You should have said that it was personal."
"If it's personal for you, then it would be for me too."
"No, we're two different people. We can have different opinions. You need to learn how to speak up." He raised an eyebrow. Just then, the two began to laugh.
"Ok good one." For the first time ever since she got there, he smiled. "So truth right? Do you have a boyfriend? Not too personal. Am I right?"
"No, and no."
"Huh?"
"No, it's not too personal, and no, I don't have one." Sam tried to joke a little. "If I had one at the moment, Im sure I wouldn't be here right now."
"It's not so bad." Eric thought. "I mean, you get your own personal slave right?"
"Yeah. Right." Right then and there it hit her when he said "personal slave". She was being a bit too mean before. She was overreacting. She was hurting herself about the past which she was over with before she saw him again. It sickened her. She knew he thought she was a bibatch, and that kinda hit her hard as well.
"You okay?" He asked after noting that there was complete silence for a good five minutes.
"Uh yeah." Sam shrugged her shoulders. "Im kinda tired so.."
"Yeah." He stood up from his seat and headed out. "It was nice..just talking."
"Yeah..." Knox closed the door behind him as Sam leaned back, and closed her eyes.
~ ~ ~ ~
There was a knock on Samori's door. She sat up and said softly, "Come in." Eric came in holding a tray which he placed on the sliding table nearby.
"I brought you some breakfast." Knox announced cheerfully.
"Thanks." she quickly replied. He knelt down before her right next to her bed, and starred up at her. She starred back in wonder. Just then another knock. The IC came in with a look of shock on their faces. Both suspects look their way, embarrssed. Eric makes a exit out of the room as quickly as possible.
"Why can't you guys just say it?" Mithiru asked in an irritated tone. "You guys did it. Case close. That's all we wanted to really know."
"We what?!" Eric coughed hard.
"We didn't anything!" Samori screamed. Everyone froze at that very moment. "There was absolutely nothing between Knox and I. No sex, no kissing, no nothing!!" She stormed out of the room.
"I think we over did it." Ro thought.
So..I guess it'll end here. No way was Sam going back to the hospital after being humiliated in front of someone who she...really didn't like, and certainly didn't do it with. So she was kinda mad at her friends, yet kinda not on a count that they somewhat pushed her to leave the cruddy place. Why the hell was she putting up with the place anyway? She wasn't that ill.
