Gray's POV

She turned around to run down the stairs, but it was like everything went into slow motion there. I saw her. Then I saw step right off the stairs to fall to her doom.

"No!" I said or yelled, I don't know. And before I knew it I pulled her back up to the top floor, but that motion caused me to fall to my doom.

Gray knew he was going to fall. He felt no ground under him, but then he felt a small tugging on his arm. In those few second Claire had grabbed his wrist and attempted to pull him out of danger. But she just ended up falling with him.

Blackness took them both as they hit the floor.

Ann's POV (just a few minutes before)

I watched as Claire walked up the stairs. "Why was she even bothering to apologize to Gray. He started it, he yelled at her for no reason, but then again he was always like that……there are just some things I will just never understand." Ann thought to herself.

"Go away Ann!"

I turned around to face the stairs at the mention of my own name. "Stupid Gray. My own brother couldn't tell it wasn't my voice." she thought getting a bit ticked off. Ann watched in silence as she saw Gray open the door.

"H-hi Ann." said Cliff coming up to stand next to Ann.

Ann turned to face him.

"Quiet, I'm watching Claire attempting to peacefully apologize to my brother."

"Who's Claire?" said Cliff getting confused.

"I'll introduce you two later. Anyways that's Claire." I said pointing to the blonde haired girl. In that second Ann realized what Gray realized, Claire was going to fall down the stairs.

"Oh, no." Cliff mumbled.

They watched in horror as Claire walking as fast as she could step where the was no floor. Gray pulled and twisted the girl to safety in just mere seconds. But Ann saw it as Gray lost his balance when he let go of Claire.

Claire realized this too and in fear she grabbed Gray's arm trying to pull him back. His weight was too great and they both tumbled down the stairs.

Ann stared in horror, stunned by what she just witnessed, but with a sudden push from Cliff they bolted towards the two unmoving bodies.

"Cliff go get the doctor and Elli, now." Ann said still stunned while hovering over her brother and her new friend.

Gray's POV Spring 4th 9:00am

With the numbness fading Gray began to stir. "Where am I?" he thought realizing what ever he was laying on it was too hard to be his bed. He also realized how stiff he was when he opened his eyes.

"He's waking up! Doctor!" yelled a familiar female voice.

"Where am I?" Gray whispered while rubbing his eyes.

"You're in the clinic." said Elli. "While trying to save Claire from falling down the stairs you lost your balance, and Claire tried to save you." she said with a smile. "But you both still fell."

"Is she okay." Gray said realizing what Elli said. "Where was she?" he thought as he sat up looking around the room franticly.

"Calm down. She's fine." said Elli pointing to the bed across the room.

"Stupid. Stupid Gray. How the hell did you miss her being in the bed across the room!" Gray thought feeling the blush of stupidity coming on his face.

There on the bed across the room laid the blonde girl. She clearly was still asleep.

"What did Elli call her?" Gray thought. "Claire? Goddess she is pretty." Gray thought to himself smiling a bit. "Wait you idiot! You don't even know her. If you forgot remember she hit you with a door, slammed it in your face, and caused you to fall down a stair case!" Gray thought to himself. "Stay the hell away from her when you get out of here. But she's pretty!" Gray thought more. "Wait you're still me. Shut up!…Gosh I didn't know I could fight with myself." Gray thought some more.

When he snapped out of it he noticed a cast on the girl's arm.

"What do you mean she's okay?! She has a cast on her arm?" Gray yelled startling Elli.

"She broke her arm. I think that is pretty darn good for falling down a flight of stairs." Elli said not smiling for once. "You on the other hand was not so lucky."

"What?!" Gray yelled panicking now. He looked down at himself. Nothing was wrong with him.

"I'm just kidding. Calm down." said Elli panicking a bit after seeing his reaction.

"Gosh Gray! Can't you take a joke?" said Ann smiling as she walked in from the waiting room and into the side of the room Gray was on.

"Shut up Ann! You try falling down a flight of stairs!" I yelled at her.

Ann just pouted like a small child.

"Elli just tell him what's wrong with him?" said Ann taking a deep breath.

"Well, surprisingly nothing is wrong." she said smiling. "But, you have some pretty bad bruises and will be seeing more appearing over the next few days. The worse of it will be that you will be very sore over the next few days."

"Wonderful. That is just freaken wonderful. Grandpa is going to skin me alive if I'm not working. This is so wonderful." Gray thought.

"I strongly advise that you take it easy and not work for the next few weeks." said Elli with much authority in her voice.

"Wait, who has to tell Saibara this?" I asked. "There was no way in hell I was going to tell him." Gray thought. "If I went over there to tell him he would yell at me for a few reasons. On e being that I would have been late to work, second being that I was stupid enough to fall down a flight of stairs. And lastly he would still make me work. He would most likely tell me if I was well enough to tell him this then I was well enough to work. He was so the meanest grandfather ever." Gray thought to himself getting a bit mad.

"Don't worry. I told him yesterday." said Ann smiling.

"Thank you." I said quietly.

"Your welcome."

Elli walked out of the room. Not long after the Doctor walked in holding a folder. "How are you doing?" the Doctor asked me.

"I've been better. When can I go home?" I asked. I really just wanted to be home and sleep in my own bed. This one was way too hard and the lights here were way too bright.

"It's good to hear you're feeling better. In a few hours you can go home. We just need to watch you just a little more to make sure you're okay."

"Great." Gray thought feeling a bit annoyed.

"How is Claire doing?" I found myself saying with out realizing it.

"She has a broken arm and many bruises, and she hasn't woken up yet." said the Doctor. After a minute of looking at me something with the look on my face caused him to add, "She should wake up any time now. She will be absolutely fine, don't worry."

"I'm not worrying! I was just curious." said spat back at him. In the corner of my eye I saw Ann trying not to smile. I gave her a glare and she stopped.

A few hours later I got to go back to the Inn with Ann. I walked inside and went straight up to my room and fell on my bed.

"Hi Gray." said my room mate Cliff. He was laying on his bed listening to a pink ipod.

"What the heck is that?" I asked him.

He gave me a look of surprise and looked down. "Oh." he mumbled. "Ann is making me listen to her favorite songs. So she lent me her ipod."

"Oh. Are their any good songs on there?" I asked already knowing the answer, I just wanted to see his reaction. All Ann has on there are girly songs.

Cliff just shook his head no. "I never knew she was such a girly girl."

"She truly is, you just got to know her long enough." I said almost laughing. "If Ann was here she would have hit me by now. She like to be known as a tough girl, not the girly girl she really is." Gray thought.

Over the next two days Gray was very sore from his injuries. Lucky Ann and Cliff got to be around him in his wonderful mood.

"Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Bring me a soda!" Gray yelled like that all day from his bed while he sat around in his boxers staring at the ceiling thinking of new ways to bug Ann so he wouldn't have to pay attention to the pain his bruises were giving him. He was getting Ann to do almost anything for him.

That time Ann had, had enough of his whining crap. She came bursting into his room. Seriously she almost took the door off its hinges. "Crap she is gonna kill me." Gray thought.

"Here's your damn soda. If you yell for me one more time and it's not a life or death emergency I swear I will…." And she threw the soda at his head. Gray just managed to duck in time, since it didn't hit him Ann stomped out of the room. "Why don't you do something useful with your life! Go see how Claire is doing." Ann yelled.

"Oh, yeah. That's a good idea." Gray thought.

Claire's POV Spring 6th 12:00pm

Claire was quite happy to be sent home this morning. She had awoken the night before not knowing where she was. Her screams scared the heck out of the Doctor. He told her where she was and what had happened. "It's weird." Claire thought. "That whole day felt like a dream. Everything from fighting with what's his name to falling down the stairs." Claire thought to herself the next day.

Up until the Doctor let her go home at 10:00am Claire had spent her time talking to Elli the brown haired friendly nurse. After a while Claire started to like Elli, she knew she would continue to get along with her after this incident. But Claire was more than thrilled to leave. Yes, Elli and the Doctor were quite nice, but all she wanted was to get home. She needed to sleep in her own bed and she needed to get started on fixing up her farm. "How am I going to do this." she thought. "I can't farm with a broken arm!" But I was going to try, she decided.

Claire made he way to her house and nearly fell over when she saw her field. It looked so bad. "I truly don't know where to begin." she thought. She walked into her house and collapsed on her bed, she was utterly exhausted. Claire fell asleep instantly as her head hit her pillow.

It felt like no time had gone by, but it must have by the bright afternoon sun shinning in. But wait that shouldn't have woken her, she realized. That's when she heard the loud banging on the door. Claire was not happy, she didn't like to be woken up.

"This better be damn important." she mumbled to herself as she walked over to the door. She opened the door to see a redheaded boy in a blue UMA hat looking right back at her.

"Why are you here Gray? I just got home, I want to sleep!" I said rubbing my eyes. "I hope my hair isn't a wreck. Wait why should I care its just stupid Gray!" Claire thought to herself.

"I-I um.."

"What do you want to say?" I asked him. "Please finish I want to sleep" I thought while I was yawning.

"I was just wanting to see how you were doing." he said while pulling his hat down so it covered more of his face, he obviously must have been blushing.

"Why thank you for caring. As you can see I'm fine." I said with my hand on the door, I was ready to shut it at any second. Claire was still mad at Gray for making her cry.

"I also wanted to say I was sorry for the other day." Gray said looking at the ground.

The look on Gray's face made her feel like she kicked a kitten. Gray looked up at her. His blue eyes locking with her own blue eyes for a fraction of a second. They both looked away quickly. They both were blushing a very vivid red.

"Crap, Claire look at this field." said Gray staring at Claire's field.

"Shut up. I just moved in the day before we met and had this accident." Claire said holding up her arm that was in a cast.

Gray gave her a small smirk and said, "And when were you planning on cleaning it or at least started growing some crops?"

"I bought some seeds the other day."

"Oh, well that sure changes things." he said smiling now.

"Shut up." Claire said rolling her eyes.

"So when were you planning on planting them? You do know you need to plant them, and water them. They don't just appear after you buy the seeds."

Claire just couldn't believe he said that. Gray took a step back, the look on Claire's face was not a good one.

"Well since I broke my arm I don't think planting seeds would be possible for me right now." she said walking inside the house. Gray peered inside the house, confused by what was happening. Claire came back to the doorway with an arm full of seed bags.

"Crap." Gray mumbled.

"Since you seem to have some free time, you can start planting all of these seeds."

"I don't have to do any thing you say." Gray said while crossing his arms.

"Like that matters to me." Claire said. She threw the bags of seeds at him. "Here's a hoe, start planting those seeds."

"But.."

"Now." Claire snapped at him.

Gray looked at Claire then down at the seeds and the hoe. He walked to Claire's field and began clearing an area for the seeds.

"Wow. I can't believe that worked." Claire thought. She walked back inside the house and dug through a few boxes until she found what she wanted, her watering can.

"Claire!" yelled Gray from outside.

"What!" she yelled while she walked out the door and right into him. "Ow." Claire said raising her hand up to her head. She opened her eyes to realize she was on the ground.

"I think you need to watch where you're going." said a smiling Gray standing in front of her.

"Shut up and help me up."

"That's no way to talk to someone who just planted your crops."

"I'm sorry. Can you please help me up." she said with a fake smile at the end.

Gray gave a chuckle and put his hand out. He helped her up and said, "Please tell me you have a watering can. I don't want to have all those seeds go to waste."

"It's right here." Claire said picking it up off the ground.

Gray took it out of her hands and began walking over to the small pond on Claire's property.

"I wanted to water them." Claire thought to herself while attempting to cross her arms, but she realized she couldn't because of the cast.

Claire turned around and walked back into the house. She pulled out the supplies to make a sandwich. "He's doing a great job, he deserves something." she thought. When she was done making Gray a sandwich she put it on a plate and brought it outside.

Gray was just finishing watering the last plant when Claire walked up to him.

"Here you go." she said practically shoving the plate at him. "Stop blushing Claire." she kept telling herself in her thoughts.

"Thanks." he said putting the watering can down.
