Radio Free's Pain: I dont own RFR or anything else having to do with it, this is just for fun.

Chapter 1: Falling

Robbie puts on his headphones and begins the Radio Free Roscoe broadcast with his fellow friends Travis, Ray, and Lily. Travis gives him the cue, "I'm Question Mark and I'm wondering...Why am I always wondering? This is the new segment for this week, where you get to call in and wonder."

Travis pushes a button on his board that made the sound of applause, "Bravo, bravo, finally handing your throne over. I have plenty of questions to consider like--"

Ray interrupts, "Hey, hey, hey. Don't even think of drilling into our brains with whatever cosmo-questions you've saved up. Our listeners deserve better." Ray dips into his backpack and pulls out a notebook. He flips to the first page of it, labeled "Pronto's Questions", and begins to read off the first one. "I'm Pronto and I'm wondering, what's the deal with spaghetti? Its so slimy, and stringy, and--"

"Ok, anyways!" Lily snaps, clearly frustrated and not at all humored. "This is Shady Lane, and we welcome any questions from THE CALLERS!" She immediately drops her head into her shaking hands.

Travis quickly switches to a song, and exits the booth. The other guys noticed when she came in that she didnt look too good, but just brushed it off as a bad day. Now they looked at her with concern.

"What's wrong, Lily?" Robbie asked her across the table.

"I think I ought to call it quits for today," Lily said, and stood up. Her eyes were puffy, and her face red as she turned to grab her bag off of the floor.

Ray started to follow her towards the door, "I'll walk you home".

Lily looked at him and said, "I'm fine, I don't need anyone to walk me." She started again toward the door only to come up short when she reached for the doorknob. Her legs gave out beneath her, and her eyes rolled back. She fell to the floor, nose bleeding onto it.

"Lily!!!" The boys hurried to her, quickly.
