Hey, sorry I haven't updated this (or anything) in a long time! This might end up being kind of a dead end cause I've lost interest in D for the moment, but maybe I'll get some spark of inspiration.

Crazyvi- Here's the update you've been waiting for!

The raven-haired girl sprinted down the steps and past her mother, who was planting daisies. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a bun as usual.

"Sammie, where are you going?", she called after her daughter. Sam didn't answer as she started to run down the street towards her best friend Danny's house. Two thoughts stopped her in her tracks a moment later. Thought number one: Danny and Tucker were on an all-boys camping trip. Thought number two: Sam had a skateboard, bike, AND roller blades. She smacked her empty palm to her forehead as she went back to her garage. Pulling a black and silver mountain pike outside, Sam strapped on the matching helmet and gently placed her precious guinea pig in the basket. Sam could feel Marilyn shaking through the towel.

Not good, she thought as she started to pedal.

The vet's office was only a few blocks away, but to Sam, it felt like an eternity. She skidded to a stop in front of the white building. 'Amity Park Veterinary Hospital' was placed in big red letters near the roof. A sign in the window read, 'We'll treat any mammal, yes even a camel.'

"Corny", Sam muttered as she hugged her pet to her chest and opened the door. A little bell tinkled as the door closed. The waiting room was empty except for a nurse holding a clipboard and standing the hallway across from the gothic girl. She looked slightly green, like she herself was ill.

"The doctor will see you right away, miss. Business hasn't been all that good lately", the nurse said, smiling and stretching her arm towards the door at the end of the hall. Sam managed a small smile in return and walked toward the woman. Once Sam passed her, the nurse swung her other arm around and placed it lightly on Sam's shoulders. The girl flinched, suddenly feeling a wave of coldness pass over her.

Probably just passed under an AC vent, Sam reassured herself. She looked back at the ceiling. No vent.
