During the half-time at the game I was talking to Sporty. She looked a little pale but I wasn't going to say a thing. She coughs a little and complains of being dizzy & having trouble breathing. "Go sit down in the ambulance for a few minutes and you'll feel better." I said. "ok." She answered. She started to walk to the ambulance, but she was stumbling. "How about I go with you?" I asked. "I think that would be a good idea." She answered. So when we get to the ambulance she passes out on the gurney. When the others saw what happened they all came running including Yudi, Katie, & Megan. "What happened?" asked Emma asked. "She passed out." I answered, "Do anyone know what could have caused this?" "Yeah, I think we all have the (coughs) flu." Said Emma. "Did you get the shot?" I asked. "Yeah but I think it did us more harm than good." Said posh. "Will she be ok?" asked Katie. "It's just the flu. She should be fine." I answered. All the Spice girls start coughing and gasping for air. "I can't breathe" said Geri. Then all of a sudden all the spice girls passed out. "Oh no, not the whole group." I said, "Guys we need to get them into an ambulance now." We called for 3 more ambulances and formed a circle on the field. "Start doing compressions." Said Mrs. Janice. So the explorers start the compressions and after 5 minutes of them, they wake up. "Welcome back." I said. But then they start to cough up blood. "That's not a good sign." I said. So we put them on oxygen. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah. We're fine." Said Sporty. They all sit up. "Hey guys, lets sing a couple of songs for old time sake." Said Sporty. The other girls agreed. "I think I'll start us off." Said Geri. So she turns to Sasha & said "I love you Sasha, & I also love Bluebell. Tell her I said that." "I love you too Geri & I will tell her that." He said & he kisses her. She starts to sing 'Lift me up.' Then it was Posh. She turns to David and says "I love you David, & I love the boys, tell them that." "I love you too Victoria & I will tell them." Said David & kisses her. She starts to sing 'I wish.' Then it was Scary. She turns to Stephen & says "I love you Stephen, & I love the girls. Just tell them that." "I love you too Mel. I'll tell them that." Said Stephen & he kisses her. She sings 'Lullaby.' Then it was Emma. She turns to jade & says "I love you jade, & I also love Beau. Tell him that." "I love you too Emma & I will tell him." Said Jade & he kisses her. She sings 'Maybe.' Then last but not least it was Sporty. She turns to Thomas & Says "I love you Tom & I also love the baby, (about to cry) Just never forget that." "I love you too Melanie." He answered & he kisses her. She sings 'protected.' At the end of her solo they all start to cry. The baby starts kicking & Sporty just smiles. They start to sing 'goodbye' & I realize what was about to happen. "No, no, no, no. you can't leave us!" I said to Sporty. "What's going on?" asked Megan. "They're dieing." I said. As the song goes on I realized their pulses were dropping very quickly. We start crying. Sporty stops singing & turns to me, Yudi, Katie, & Megan & says "I really loved you guys" (meaning the fans.) & finishes singing. At the end of the song they all say 'girl power' at the same time. Then we lost them. We couldn't believe it. There was a silent moment for a couple of minutes suddenly Thomas, Stephen, Jade, David, & Sasha starts to cry, while holding the girls hands. Just like that they suddenly collapse. "Oh no please don't tell me." I said. Justin takes David's pulse & said "they're dead." "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled.
2 days after….. The Viewing
It was a cold a rainy day the atmosphere itself seemed to be sad, but not as sad as we all felt. The viewing was upon us as many of us were crying. The viewing was at Sporty & Thomas' house, in the living room. The house felt kind of empty because it just didn't feel the same with them gone. I walked up to Sporty and Thomas's caskets and said "why did it have to be you?" & I start to cry. "Yeah, she really was something wasn't she?" asked Josh. I just nod & said "Yeah." I just start to walk upstairs & went to their room & opened up their closet& I just stared at her clothes & start to cry again. As I was crying I felt a cold draft pass me & suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn towards the bed & I noticed there was a box sticking out from under it. I walked up to the edge of the bed & grabbed the box & opened it up & there was a DVD & a letter in it. I walked back downstairs while holding the DVD & the letter. "What's that you're holding?" asked Josh. "I don't know. I found it in their bedroom in a box under the bed, & it had this letter in it." I said. "Well read the letter. Let's see what they have to say." Said Josh. I read it. It said:
We trust you with this because you were one of our closest friends.
"Well play it." Said Josh. "ok." I said so I walked up to the TV & put the DVD in the DVD player & on the DVD it was home movies of all of us hanging out. Then there was a final message to all of us. Here's what they had to say:
Sporty: hey it's us if you're watching this video we're probably not around anymore
Emma: we just like to say a few words about our friends
Scary & Stephen: Jessica, You were so funny. Nina, you were so sweet.
Posh: Callyann, you always did a good impression of me I would've liked to sing with you
Geri & Sasha: Christy, you are so crazy sometimes, its funny, you always made me laugh.
Sporty: Janie, you were always kind, sweet, & caring. I couldn't ask for a better fan or a better friend than you. You did well in karate & one of the best ems in training I've ever known (I burst into tears) you were my best friend & my #1 fan. Megan, yudi, & katie. you guys are so sweet & caring.
Emma & Jade: Jaimie, you were always nice to everyone.
Thomas & Sporty: thank you for being there.
Thomas: Josh, you were always so funny. Janie, you were always there though the hard times.
David: Charlie, you were funny, crazy & sorts of different things I couldn't say here (laughs)
All: we had great times together; we all just wanted to say we will miss you.
At the end of the video there was a picture of all of us at Sporty's baby shower(12-4-08). We stared at the picture & started crying (except Josh and Charlie.) We all left the house that day with mixed emotions. It was a mixture of happiness and sadness that somehow left our hearts content. Little did we know the strange & funny adventure we would soon be apart of……….
