The next morning Van saw someone asleep in the coroner of Reba's room, it was Brock. "Hey Mr. H, you ok?" Van asked shaking him awake. "Huh? What? Yeah, I was just checking on Reba, and I must've fallen asleep." Brock replied.
"How do you think she is?" Van asked looking at her. Reba was asleep holding on to her pillow and they both chuckled.
"Well let's leave her alone, she's been through quite an ordeal." Brock said as they walked out.
A few hours and still Reba hadn't come down from her room. "Gosh, I hope she's all right." Van said looking up the stairs.
"Let's go check on her ok?" Brock asked all ready headed for the stairs. The two men walked up the stairs and noticed Reba's door wouldn't budge. "Here we'll ram it open." Brock said.
The two men rammed the door with all their strenghth and the door finally opened and the room was in utter ruin. The dresser was overturned, the bathroom mirror had been broken, clothes were sprawled all over the floor, the bed pillows were ripped to pieces, and Reba was huntched in the corner with her knees up to her chest and she was hiding her head.
Brock noticed that blood was running onto the carpet. "Van go downstairs and get the bandages." "No Mr. H, Mrs. H trusts me more than she trusts you, you go and get them, I'll stay with her, ok?" Van asked getting on one knee next to her and rubbing her back.
Brock shrugged and went to get the bandages. "Mrs. H? It's the planet Dorkfish Alien, do you read me?" Van asked. Reba looked up and smiled at him and hugged him. Van had tears escaping down his face and he felt something touching his chest.
He looked and saw Reba poking at his chest. "Why are you doing that?" Van asked. Then with his small brain he figured it out. "You're saying I have a good heart." Van said.
Reba nodded. She then made like a uh-huh noise and Van's eyes grew wide. "You're trying to speak aren't you? That's great!" Van yelled and he scared her again into her postition from before.
"Mrs. H, I'm sorry, but will you please speak?" Van took her hand in his own and rubbed her arm and he felt the hot blood on his hand. "The blood of a fighter." Van chuckled.
Brock brought up the bandage and put it on Reba's arm. "You know what we oughta do? We oughta take Reba out tonight. She's gonna become a hermit if we don't." Brock said.
"Good idea Mr. H." Van replied. "Would you like to Red?" Van asked. Reba's head shot up and she scratched Van. "OWWW!!" Van yelled. "You called her Red, she can't stand that." Brock said with a little laughter.
"Yeah I'll bet, why not have BJ and Cheyenne fix her up some?" Van asked. "I like that, but don't worry BJ won't do anything crazy." Brock reassured Van. "Ok." Van said.
A few hours later Cheyenne and BJ were outside Reba's door. "Ok you ready? And you promised that you wouldn't do anything foolish." Cheyenne said. "Well at least you didn't say stupid." BJ said. "Same difference." Cheyenne said.
"Hey mom." Cheyenne said as she walked into Reba's, now put back into place, room. Reba waved, but still didn't speak. "Ok now what would you like to wear? I got an idea that I'd like to try." Cheyenne said.
Reba nodded and Cheyenne went through her mom's closet till she found the thing she was searching for. "Ah-ha! I knew you still had this thing." Cheyenne said pulling a dress off the hanger.
"Ok now let's start with your hair." Cheyenne said. A few hours later Brock and Van were downstairs when Cheyenne cleared her throat at the top of the stairs. "Gentlemen introducing the new and improved Mrs. Hart." Cheyenne backed away and Reba was wearing the green dress and shiny high heels. (if ur wondering what the dress is, same one from the contest between BJ and Reba)
"Wow! She's new pretty!" Van said. Reba smiled and walked down the stairs. Cheyenne saw Van drooling when she passed him. Cheyenne took one of Reba's cowboy boots and flung it at him, it hit Van square on the side of the head.
Brock took Reba's hand and kissed it (like you see when someone kisses a royal's hand if your wondering) "You look ravashing this evening." Brock said with a smile.
They all walked out to the car and everyone but BJ got into the cars. "You're not going BJ?" Cheyenne asked. "No I'm watching the kids, and by the way here comes one now." Barbra Jean said as Henry came out of the house.
"This is for you." Henry said handing Reba a rose. Reba smiled and Henry hugged her. "Hey Mr. H, she sorta reminds you of a broken rose, you know." Van said as they pulled away.
"Yeah that's true, but can they be made new again is the question." Brock said. They pulled up to the dance hall and they all got out. Reba was holding the red rose still and Brock motioned for her to come over to him. "Here let me." Brock said taking the rose from her and sliding it into her hair just next to her ear. "You look wonderful Red Rose." Brock sai taking her hand.
"Hello everyone and welcome to the night of a million dreams, a weird title, but you want it played we do it for you." The D.J. said as she put the first song on which was "Some Hearts" by Carrie Underwood.
"I got a good one." Van said getting up and going to the D.J. Van whispered in the D.J's ear what he wanted played and he nodded. "Ok folks we got a request here an it's a special song for your best friend." The disk Jockey found the c.d. and the song began to play.
"Reba do you wanna dance?" Brock asked extending his hand to her. Reba smiled and nodded. The two walked out onto the dance floor and they swayed in the same timing and rhythym to the music which was rather as I would put it... their anthem.
I never had no one that I could count on
I've been that down so many times
I was tired of hurtin' so tired of searchiin'
Til you walked into my life It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time I didn't feel alone
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You stand by me you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
And oh we just get closer I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Brock kissed the top of Reba's head and when she looked up at him, she smiled. "Well you ready to go yet?" Brock asked. Reba shook her head yes and they both walked out the door.
Rain started pouring as they walked outside. "Damn it! And we parked half a block away." Brock said frustrated. Reba sighed and turned him toward her. "What is it?" Brock asked looking down at her.
Reba pointed at his chest and touched it. "Yeah, I know I've got a good heart and it's all thanks to you." Brock said with tears forming in his eyes. As the rain poured all around them, Reba did the unthinkable and kissed him as tears rolled down his face.
