The door burst open, and Hank Freebird, the bone surgeon, rushed in.
"We've got a new girl joining us!" He huffed and puffed, "a girl who's going to assist us!"
"What! A girl who's gonna help us? But we don't know if she's compatible!" Maria Torres, the First Response paramedic exclaimed.
"It isn't unusual…" Naomi Kimishima, who had just joined the others at Resurgam, pointed out, "We've got new people coming in everyday, and-" She was cut off by Hank.
"Naomi! It is unusual! For a moment, I thought she was Tomoe!" he protested.
"Huh? Me!" Tomoe Tachibana, the endoscopy surgeon, exclaimed out loud.
"Please don't get ME involved," Gabriel Cunningham, the diagnostician, moaned. "I could say it was simply just a case of cloning. No x-rays, no CT images, no scintigraphy, no symptoms! HELL YEAH!" He whooped in delight, punching his fists in the air.
Suddenly, the doors opened, and Chief Esha Patel and another girl walked in.
"People, may I introduce you to Makiyo Matsuri? She'll be joining us from now on and will assist you in some surgeries." Esha said, "I have to attend an urgent meeting now. Please, try your best to make her feel welcome." She smiled, and left the room in a hurry.
Tomoe gulped. Makiyo really looked like her!
"Hey," Naomi nudged Tomoe. "She really looks like you…"
"I know!" She sighed. Suddenly, not wanting to lose face, she suddenly said out loud, "But her EYES look like yours!"
"W-what?" Naomi stammered. "I put on makeup, they're not my natural eyes!"
"QUIET!" Maria screeched. "Remember what the Chief said: make her feel welcome!"
"Fine…" Naomi sighed.
Tomoe tried her best to get the right words out of her mouth.
"Umm, welcome to Resurgam, Makiyo! We're having a little shortage of manpower here, and-"
She was cut off by RONI.
"Emergency! The ferris wheel at a amusement park near the hospital has collapsed. Many people are injured and some of them are under the ferris wheel itself. All 6 doctors are required to go there immediately."
"What the…!" Gabe exclaimed.
"There may be broken bones!" Hank panicked.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go now!" Maria shouted.
"I'm using the endoscope!" Tomoe went to grab the endoscope, ready to put it in the ambulance.
"I'm going to use my surgery skills. Let's see if the Healing Touch still works…" Naomi said as she went towards to the operation room and picking up some surgery tools and popping them into a bag.
"Wait a minute! What about Makiyo?" Tomoe interrupted.
Makiyo was standing there, looking uneasy. She replied quietly.
"Erm… I'll just look around and see how I can help. After all, I have much to learn…"
"Fine, let's go!" Maria commanded, as all the doctors hopped onto the ambulance and it sped away.
Well, how was the story? Reviews are welcome. Chapter2 coming soon! :D
