HEEEEEY! So I left you with a bit of a hang glider (which for some reason, I thought was the same as cliff hanger…at least I got the "hanger" part right) with Nicky's idea. This chapter is really just filler, so sorry. I just realized that now, but it's nice emotional filler, and is showing that deeper-

ya know what, screw it. I don't want to explain.

ENJOY THE STORY!


Part 3

It was a quiet day at Avenue Q when the disheveled girl monster finally came home. Kate had been staying at the hospital all day and all night for weeks, and Princeton still didn't show any signs of waking up. Kate didn't want to admit it, but she was quickly losing hope. She was also feeling guilty about causing this in the first place.

"Kate!" Christmas Eve exclaims as she and Rod run over to Kate, "How is Plinceton?"

Sighing, Kate answers, "same old, same old." A few tears leak out of Kate's eyes, and she attempts to hide them from her best friends. She's too slow, Rod notices right away.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" He asks as he wipes away the tears. This gesture only makes Kate more upset, and only tells him a quick "No" before completely bursting into tears on Rod's jacket.

"Careful! This is a Kiton K-5! It's very expensive! You're going to stain it!" Rod cried out, realizing he was being rude, he had spent too much on the suit to have it be ruined.

"SHUT UP LOD!" Yelled both Christmas Eve and Kate (who moved from Rod's shoulder to Christmas Eve's).

"Yeah Rod! Shut your mouth!" Gary laughed, leaving his office with Trekkie. Their daily video gaming had been reduced to once a week since Trekkie was stressing out in a way that, for once, video games weren't the cure. He was actually frightened for his brother in law, as well as his little sister. He knew that Kate wasn't sleeping well and Trekkie refused to be the one to tell mom that Kate lost everything while Princeton was in a coma.

"Little sister, you okay?" Trekkie asked hastily, noticing his sister's sad eyes and brittle dull fur.

"Of course not! Princeton is still asleep, and it's all my fault!"

"Kate, darling, it's not your fault!" Rod said soothingly, "You couldn't have prevented him from falling and screaming. Besides, if anyone's the blame, it's your fault, Christmas Eve!"

"My faurt!" She screamed, furious, "what about Blian! He stalted it! He arways stalts it!"

Brian walked out of his apartment just in time to hear those words come out of Eve's mouth, and was now fuming!

"Well I wouldn't have to start it if you hadn't come to America, you insufferable Asian! Why can't you just go back to your hippy-dippy-stuck-up-yellow-fever-ridden-never-saying-no-small-and-skinny-always-smiling-futuristic-dog-and-cat-eating-working-in-a-factory-24/7-repressed-society-super-smart-short-stature-pushy-as-hell-slits-for-eyes crap hole of a county where you came from and belong!"

SMACK!

"OWWW!" Brain yelled, rubbing his hand over his sore cheek, and trying to avoid Christmas Eve's death glare.

"Amelica's not arr it's clacked up to be eithel, Blain! Most of these Amelicans don't have jobs, incruding you! And don't get me stalted on those stupid taxis! So dilty! But whire I'm tarking about hygiene, oh I'm solly, you plobary nevel even heald of that wold befole!"

"Can any of you guys following this?" Gary whispered to Kate, Rod, and Trekkie as Christmas Eve continued to lecture Brian.

"Nope." said Kate.

"Not at all." Rod responded.

"What makes you think I can follow couples' fights?" Trekkie replied in his overly loud voice.

"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" Shouted Brian and Christmas Eve simultaneously. Then they both stuck their tongues out at each other, and stormed into their respected apartments.

"Way to go, Trekkie, now you've made them even angrier at each other!" Kate scolded her brother.

"Well soooorry!" Trekkie snapped back, soaking every word with sarcasm. "It's not my fault! The do act like a couple! An old married couple who are about to get divorced!"

Gary, doubled over in hysterics, slapped his buddy's back, "You said it, Trek!"

Rod rolled his eyes, and headed back to his own apartment.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Rod turned around, "Kate! Nicholas wants to tell you something! It's about Princeton and you!"

"What! Why didn't he tell me when he was watching over Princeton with me?"

"He said you wouldn't listen to him. Anyway, just text him tonight," Rod started giggling, "my Nicholas and I have an important...activity to celebrate this wonderful Saturday evening." And with that, Rod giggled his way inside his apartment.

"Whatever this idea is, it better be worth the weirdness of hearing Rod giggle about having sex with Nicky." Gary responded awkwardly as he went back to his own apartment and the Monster sibling went to Kate's for dinner.
