"Bye Mac." Bloo says sadly as Mac's about leave. They had come and gone from the arcade and it is almost 5 which means Mac has to leave.

"Bye Bloo I promise I'll be back tomorrow." They hug and Mac walks out the door, Bloo sighs and looks around.

"Oo a paddle-ball!" He continues to paddle as he walks down the hall and into the TV room where Wilt, Coco, and Eduardo are watching something. Bloo walks infront of the TV making them groan.

"Bloo I'm sorry but can you please move we're trying to watch something." Wilt says trying to see around him but with no success.

"Fine if you don't want me here you could just say so!" Bloo huffs and walks out as the others sigh in relief, he hears them and frowns, how come no one ever wanted to be around him?

"I miss Mac." He whispers sadly walking upstairs feeling a slight pain in his arm, he looks at it and winces before finishing walking to his room. He plops down on the bed and sighs he then notices the paddle-ball and perks up again.

"1- darnit!" He continued this until dinner time which is about 2 hours.

"DINNER!" Frankie shouts making him jump off his bed and run downstairs. Maybe dinner can get his mind of off Mac... nope. Try as he might he just can't stop thinking somethings terribly wrong, briefly he notices the others trying to get his attention but he ignores them, he has other things to worry about.

"Master Blooregard!" Mr. Herriman shouts startling him Bloo glares at him as he says, "It is rude to ignore people when they are trying talking to you! Whatever you are day dreaming about can wait!" Bloo sighs and looks at his food.

"Furthermore-"

"I GET IT!" Bloo shouts making everyone jump he lets out a growl and jumps out of his seat then walks out Mr. Herriman goes to stop him but Frankie stops him with a shake of her head.

"I'm sorry but what was that about?" Wilt questions as the others nod.

"Si Azul es acting muy weird."

"I'm sure it's nothing guys just give him some time and he'll be fine." Little did Frankie know how wrong she is, for Bloo is currently in his bedroom pacing back and forth worried out of his mind.

"C'mon Mac." He mutters trying to push at the block in his head but it pushes back even more continuing to block him out of Mac's mind. 'C'mon' he thinks pushing again 'just let me in already.' but to no avail, he lets out a scream in frustration and plops down on his bed trying to fall asleep. He sighs after a few minutes and says.

"Just let me fall asleep already." He suddenly gets a thought in his head. "That jerk, he's keeping me up! The next time I see him.." He trails off what would he do the next time he sees him? Would there be a next time? He quickly shakes his head, he can't think like that Mac's smart if something really bad happens he can figure away out, but he's also timid and would probably be to scared to do something, he sighs again and closes his eyes falling asleep within seconds. The others come in minutes later and get ready for bed quietly each really worried about Bloo, they softly say goodnight and drift off to sleep.

"MAC!" Bloo shouts as he jumps up waking the others.

"Bloo?"

"Azul?"

"Coco?"

"Mac's in trouble!" Bloo says jumping out of bed.

"Bloo it was just a nightmare." Wilt says getting up from under the bunk looking at him.

"No! No it wasn't he's in trouble Wilt!"

"Guys is everything okay? I heard a scream." Frankie says as she runs into the room.

"Azul had a bad dream it es muy scary!" Eduardo says holding his blanket to his face.

Bloo huffs in annoyance, "No it wasn't just a 'bad dream'! Mac is in trouble I know it!"

"Bloo," Frankie says crouching to his level, "Mac is at home, he's safe I promise it was just a nightmare." She starts putting him into bed,

"You'll see him tomorrow safe and sound, okay?" She pulls the cover over him and starts walking out.

"Night guys!" Everyone responses except Bloo who is looking at his picture of Mac with a scared look on his face, Frankie sighs and closes the door going back to her room.

"Please be okay." Bloo whispers as he turns to go back to sleep. Bloo is right to be worried however because at Mac's apartment this is happening...


"WAKE UP STUPID!" Terrance shouts dragging Mac out of bed by his leg, he wakes up with a start and starts struggling.

"No Terrance please!" Terrance ignores him and carries him to the living room and throws him on the floor.

"SHUT UP!" Mac curls into a ball and starts crying not noticing another figure suddenly appear in the room. He doesn't know how he got there or why all he knows is Mac's in trouble and that this time it's not a dream.

"Leave him alone you jerk!" But Terrance doesn't hear and starts advancing menacingly towards Mac. Bloo runs and jumps at him trying to stop him but he goes right through and Terrance doesn't notice.

"Stupid limitations!" Bloo screams in frustration and shakes Mac.

"Do something! Don't let him get you!" But Mac doesn't respond and just curls up tighter Bloo quickly jumps into action and stands infront him, arms stretched, this time Terrance pauses as if sensing something before shaking his head and continuing towards Mac. He is about to grab Mac when the door opens, everyone looks towards it as Mac and Terrance's mom walks in. Mac tucks his head back into the ball and whimpers just wanting this to be over.

"Terrance what are you doing up? It's late." She questions putting her purse down and walking over.

"Oh." She says looking at Mac before turning to Terrance and gesturing to his room.

"Go to bed I'll handle this."

"Like hell you will-" Bloo starts but Mac interrupts him.

"Go away." He mutters quietly.

"Um buddy? Think you'll need to be louder to get their attention."

"You Bloo."

"ME?" Mac's about to answer when his mom kicks him making him wince and Bloo growl.

"Pay attention to me when I'm talking to you! Why are you up?" When he doesn't answer she kicks him again and he cries out.

"Please." He begs Bloo. "Go."

"No." He responses pushing at Mac's mom leg trying to budge her which doesn't work. He huffs in annoyance and keeps trying.

"Well?" She questions impatiently tapping her foot and crossing her arms.

"Terrance woke me up." He finally says trying not to look and her, or Bloo for that matter.

"No excuse! When I tell you to go bed, you go to bed!" She brings her foot down on him again as he cries harder.

"I'M SORRY!" He shouts curling up even tighter.

"YOU SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU DISOBEYED ME!" She keeps kicking him as he continues to cry, Bloo tries to pull her off but can't.

"Mac please!" He cries, "Let me help!" She finally stops kicking him and says.

"Go to bed." Mac gets up and starts limping to his room, Bloo following him.

"And don't get up again!" They finally get there and Mac drops onto his bed sobbing, Bloo quickly floats over and onto his bed. Mac throws his arms around Bloo and pulls him close to him, Bloo holds him and runs his hand through his hair. They stay like this for awhile before Bloo notices Mac losing consciousnesses.

"Mac." He says grabbing his face. "Stay with me." He quickly gives some of his life force to Mac until it starts to drain him.

"No." He weakly says, "Stop."

"You need it more than me."

"You no good to anyone dead. Stop. I'm better see?" Mac says trying to get out of his lap with no success.

"Well I'm not passing out. But I am tired. Goodnight Bloo." He says snuggling into him.

"Night Pal."


The next morning Mac woke up in extreme pain and tried to crawl out of bed, unsuccessfully.

"Bloo?" He whispers questioningly and groans when he gets no response, he's awake great. Mac thinks about just going back to sleep but realizes it Monday and that he has school he tries to get up again but can't. Could he even make it through school? He didn't think so but he gets no more time to dwell on it as Terrance walks in slamming his door into the wall.

"MORNING LOSER TIME FOR SCHOOL!" He pulls him onto the floor and walks out laughing. Mac groans again and starts getting ready when he finishes he tiptoes into the kitchen.

"Please be gone please be gone." He whispers as he looks around and sighs in relief when he sees no one else. He looks at the cereal on the counter and gags in disgust, he doesn't think he could eat anything right now. He grabs his backpack and walks out the door and makes it two steps before realizing he can't last in school all day, but where could he go? How about the only place he really feels at home, Fosters. With a new destination in mind he heads off.

Meanwhile with Bloo, he was also just getting up but not to his own accord.

"Bloo time for breakfast." Wilt says shaking him, he lets out a groan and turns around.

"C'mon Bloo I'm sorry but aren'tcha hungry?" He sighs and gets up with a glare.

"Fine." All of them start to head downstairs when they hear the doorbell ring.

"MS FRANCIS PLEASE GET THE DOOR!"

"I'M BUSY!"

"I'M NOT PAYING YOU TO SLACK OFF."

"FINE!"

"Wonder who that is?" Wilt asks the others who shrug in response.

In the meantime downstairs Frankie is angrily stomping to the door.

"Who's here at 7'am we aren't even open yet!" Frankie opens the door preparing to yell when she notices Mac standing there, kinda weird.

"Mac? Shouldn't you be at school?" Mac looks up stunned, he didn't plan what to say, he starts stuttering as the others arrive downstairs.

"Mac!" Bloo says happily running over to them, "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah that's what I wanna know."

"Um I, I, I don't feel good." He says slumping over everyone looks worried as Bloo goes to prop him up.

"Bloo bring him into the living room I'll get some water everyone else, breakfast!" Everyone scurries off while Bloo leads Mac into the living room.

"Thanks Bloo." Mac mumbles when he sets him on the couch.

"Not that I'm not happy, but why are you here?"

"Cause there's no way I could make it through school." He lets out a quiet groan as he lays on the couch.

"Here," Frankie says walking in with a glass of water which she hands to Mac. "Now start talking." He looks at Bloo nervously who glances around before shrugging.

"Maybe you should just tell her."

"Bloo I can't just-"

"Tell me what? What's going on Mac?"

"Um, um." He begins breathing heavily and turns to Bloo again who looks at him worriedly.

'You gotta tell her!" He thinks to Mac who shakes his head.

'Mac.' He pleads, 'You have to, what if gets worse? You're not safe there.'

"I didn't go to school cause I knew I wouldn't be able to get thought the day, it hurts too much."

"What hurts?"

"My side. From when my mom kicked it."

"WHAT? Why would she do that?"

"Cause I disobeyed her."

"It's wasn't your fault!" Bloo says getting up and turns to Frankie. "Terrance woke him up and she got mad at him. Stuff like that has been going on for along time!"

"How long?" Frankie asks turning to Mac who's curled in a ball. She's too concerned about Mac to notice there's no way Bloo should know something like that, he only got there a couple minutes ago and the two hadn't been alone very long.

"She didn't start hitting until a few weeks ago but she's always been awful after Dad died. Her and Terrance." He starts sobbing, "Please don't make me go back there." Frankie carefully grabs him and pulls him into her lap while Bloo pats his back comfortingly.

"I would never. But you gotta go to the hospital, if you can't even walk how bad is it?" Mac looks up at her before sighing and nodding.

"Great we'll take the bus." Frankie says putting him down and getting up then walking to the door, Bloo helps him up and they both follow after her.


Frankie is trying to drive as slowly fast as she can, wanting to get there quick but not wanting to jostle Mac too much. He is currently in the seat behind her leaning against Bloo who was carefully holding him, looking very worried.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Now?"

"Bloo," She calmly says slamming her hands down. "No, we weren't there five minutes ago and we AREN'T THERE NOW!" She finishes shouting making Bloo jump back.

"Geez I was just asking."

"You were just-" Whatever she's about to say gets interrupted by a small groan.

"Don't worry pal we'll be there soon." The rest of the bus ride is silent except for the occasional groan from Mac when they finally get there, Frankie stops the bus gets up and carefully grabs Mac while Bloo anxiously watches. They walk into the hospital and try to get someone's attention to no avail.

"Sorry guys," She mutters to them before continuing, "EXCUSE ME I HAVE A LITTLE BOY HERE WHO COULD HAVE SOME BROKEN RIBS CAN I HAVE A DOCTOR PLEASE!" A doctor quickly walks over to them and tries to grab Mac but Frankie gives a look and he backs off with his hands up.

"Let me have a look, you two are more than welcome to join." They both look at him with 'duh' look and they all walk to an x-ray room.

"So how exactly did this happen?" He says almost accusingly.

"What are you implying?" Frankie grits out trying not to hit him she is still holding Mac after all.

"Nothing just checking."

"Listen buddy-"

"Not, Frankie's, fault," A small voice wheezes out making everyone look at him.

"Can we talk about this later?" Bloo asks, "In case you haven't noticed, he's really hurt!"

"Right here we are," He points to a sign that says 'X-Ray' and walks in as the other two follow.

"Set him down here please." He gestures to the bed, Frankie does grabbing Bloo afterwards to make sure he doesn't do anything, he growls at her before settling in her arms.

"Hurry up he's scared." Bloo simply says as Frankie gives him a questioning look wondering how he could possibly know that but guesses it was easy to infer that. The Doctor nods and begins the procedure they all sit silently for a few seconds before the Doctor hesitantly asks.

"How did this happen? It's standard procedure to ask especially in these situations." Pointing out the fact Mac, no matter how mature he is, is fact a kid. Frankie sighs before answering.

"I don't know the whole story I only found out something was up a few minutes ago. He said his Mom hits him and that it's been going on for a few weeks now."

"I see. Have you contacted the police?"

"Oh shoot! I should go do that, Bloo stay here." She says setting him down and walking out the door.

"How's it going, doc?" Bloo casually asks trying to hide his worry making the Doctor chuckle.

"Call me David, it's going fine looks like nothing more than some bruising your friend here is very lucky."

"Not the word I would use. But it looked alot worse last night." He lets the last part slip out accidentally.

"So you live with him then?"

"No I live a Foster's, but I used to. His mom forced him to give me up, said he was 'too old' for an imaginary friend. But he made a deal that as long as he comes to see me everyday, I won't be put up for adoption, he's never missed a day."

"Sounds like he really cares about you."

"Yea.." He says softly turning to look at Mac David notices and gives him a sympathetic look.

"Like I said it's just some mild bruising, he's going to be just fine." Frankie then walks back in and scans over the X-Ray machine meticulously.

"The cops are going to Mac's apartment to investigate, they're also sending someone to talk to Mac as soon as this is done."

"Right. Excellent timing Ms.?"

"Just Frankie is fine.

"Right. I was just telling Bloo here that it's just a some bruise ribs he should be fine in 3-4 weeks until then I advise not moving around too much, avoid any activities that can cause rib cage pain, and alot of aspirin." He finishes with a smile and a light chuckle.

"We can move him into the Children's Ward until the cop gets here if you want." Frankie nods and goes to carefully pick him up.

"Did you hear that Pal?" She asks Mac as they're walking. "It's just some bruise ribs nothing to serious." He lightly groans, picks his head up and looks around as if looking for something.

"Right here." Bloo says from next to Frankie, Mac lightly smiles as rest into Frankie as they all walk to the Children's Ward where who knows what lies ahead.


Another long chapter! I'm really enjoying writing these if you haven't noticed. So just to clear up any confusion the first time Bloo woke up, it was a dream but it let him know something was wrong with Mac in case you didn't realize that. And the thing between Bloo and Mac like the dream that wasn't a dream, and knowing he was scared will be explained soon! Though some of you might already know good for you! But for those who don't you will find out soon.

So what do you guys think will happen next? The answer may surprise you!

BYE!:D
