Authors Note: Sorry for leaving y'all hanging. Dick move on my part. A real dick move. But i haven't watched Parks and Recreations in a while. Here goes everything. The writing may be a little different from what i wrote before. I'm going to try to make this beautiful and sad, while maintaining character personality and the comedy of the show. Im changing it to where i'm doing Third person of a single character at once, like the other fanfic i recently started. I'll fit in as many characters as i can. In this PR universe, Ben and Leslie aren't married but are lovers, and don't have kids, the year is 2016, they don't have high-tech stuff like they did in the final season of the TV show, and Leslie never took that one job, and stayed in the Parks and Recreation department (do i know what i'm even talking about)? Chapters will get longer. Im going to be posting a lot more frequently.

Leslie:

It was as if Leslie had been hit by an 18 wheeler. She almost collapsed from the news she just heard. She almost collapsed, but Andy caught her.

"Level 4 cancer?" She thought. Leslie then spoke a loud once she regained her balance. "This has to be a joke, right? Cancer, our definitions of it are the same right? I only have headaches, not cancer. Not in my book."

Dr. Ikins had a mildly irritated look on her face. "This is not time for joking. We have to schedule you for surgery, and chemotherapy until then, otherwise Leslie, you will die."

Leslie looked back at her co-workers just in time for her to see Andy wiping away tears, and water creeping on the edge of April's eyes. For Leslie, seeing her friends like this was worse than being told she was dying.

"Bert Macklin can help you Leslie," Andy started, his voice was like a shattered window. "But you have to let the doctors help you first."

These words were the ones that sent her over the edge. She was trying not to cry, because if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop. She was right. Andy and April got her again as she almost collapsed again. They hugged her. What once was just a fun game for Andy and April turned into a life changing experience. No one expected this to happen, but as they say, life just happens…

When Leslie could stand on her own (again) She addressed Dr. Ikins with her brave face. "Fine, give me all you've got to fight this thing. We're going to beat the crap of this thing, right guys?"

She watched her lovebirds wipe away their tears, and replace them with smiles, even if they were totally forced. It somehow made the news less scary.

"Alright, let's go get the paperwork done." Dr. Ikins said, looking at Leslie. She then turned towards Andy and April "I'm going to need you two to at least wait in the waiting room while we run tests on Ms. Knope here."

"It'll be alright guys, i'm not going anywhere, i'm a mean, green, feminist machine. Just don't tell anyone anything, alright?" Leslie told them, starting to get her old excitement back.

Andy hugged her once more, and whispered to her. "It's gonna be alright..."

April

April had always tried to convince herself and others she wasn't human, she had always went the extra mile to prove to people that she wasn't a real human. Her tears when when she heard the news about Leslie reinforced that fact that she was indeed human like everyone else.

At one point, she even told herself that she had came to terms with the death of her friends beforehand, so she wouldn't make a mess of herself in front of everyone. This was different, though, because Leslie was one of her best friends even though she hated to admit it, and April had to watch her die. Worst of all, there was nothing she could do, it was in the hands of the professionals know.

"April, we've been here 5 hours," Andy complained, to her. He was trying to cope with the sadness by returning to how he was before. She loved him so much. "Can I please get a snack from the vending machine? Please?"

April thought it funny how he was like a little child. She pulled out a dollar bill from her pocket and handed it to him. "Ok, fine."

She got a message from Jerry, wondering where they were, and if they knew where Leslie was at. "We are at…" She started texting. She decided to ask Andy to help her out a bit.

"Where are we Andy? We need a cover for when someone asks." She told him. She saw Andy's face light up. He loved making up lies for whenever he needed them; April once found his stash of notebooks, all filled with lies for different occasions. April borrowed some lies from it once and got away with it.

"Disneyland? I've always wanted to go there, but my mom said that was where kids go to get molestered." He said. April had to hold back her laugh.

"But did we do when we got there?" He started thinking. "Did we fight Mickey? I always thought i could take him, but he has big hands, and it give him an advantage.."

April started laughing. Andy talking about what he always wanted to do gave April an idea on how to help Leslie.

"Andy, Do you want to help me make Leslie very happy?" She asked him. As she expected, Andy jumped at the idea.

"Yeah, You know I would do anything for her!" He responded, "What is it?"

"We have to get to her house, and find her bucket list. If we do everything on it, Leslie wont be sad anymore. Alright?"

"Im driving." Was all he said, as he started power walking down the hall already, leaving April in the dust.

"Wait up!" she called after him.

"Maybe this will all be alright." She thought to herself.

More Notes: Trust me when I say that next chapter is going to be extra long.
