Enjoy!
(Wilt's P.O.V)
I woke up slowly, kinda' like when I woke in the hospital. I noticed my hand was holding Rose's hand. I smiled and let her hand go, and put on one of the tapes from her bag. I smiled even more as I watched a very young, little Rose trying to stand the camera on the tree stump in there back garden to record there basketball game. Eventually she made it stand but as soon as she turned round the camcorder fell over again. I left to go get her dad. We played all day until we tied 40 all, and I gave her a ride on my shoulders and when she tried to get down I grabbed her and started to tickle her until the point of her almost kicking me in the face dew to thrashing around. The next one was her birthday. She was sitting at a table, all her friends beside her and a huge birthday cake which red: Happy B-day Rose, love from Mum, Dad Wilt… and it continued all over the cake with the signatures of all her friends that had came to the party, written in edible ink. Me and her parents were standing behind her, I placed my hand on her shoulder, reminding her to whish before blowing out the candles.
"I remember that." I turned to see Rose, awake. Her voice a weak rasp.
"What did you whish for?"
"I whished that if anything would happen, we would still be friends in the end, all of us."
"I thought it would be something else, like your own imaginary friend."
"Wilt, I already had the best friend in the world, the best family a girl could want, a whole load of friends, and I still do. What else could a girl want? I have the power to make a friend, but I only want you." she smiled.
"Really? Well thanks I guess. But I'm not really all that… not at all."
"Why do you say that?"
"Cause I don't disserve that praise."
"Of course you do. You disserve everything good that you get. You're the last person on earth that wouldn't disserve some praise."
I was so flattered I didn't know what to say. Eventually I found my voice.
"You just go to sleep. You need to regain your strength." and with that I tucked her in and left her to sleep.

Less than a week later Rose was well again. I was talking to Frankie while she mopped the floor in the entrance hall when Rose made her way to the door, a load of friends she had made friends were behind her, standing in the back of the room. She was about to walk out of the door when Frankie shut it.
"Were do you think your goin'?"
"Well, since I'm ok now I figured I should go home."
"I don't think so."
"Wha…?" she looked confused at the tall red head.
"Were exactly are you going?" Bloo asked.
"Home, in the ally." I looked at her, pretending to look confused at Rose.
"But you are home."
"What?"
"You're stayin' right here girl." Frankie said with a smile.
"You mean… I can live… HERE!"
"Well we can't have you wandering the street without your family can we." Bloo smirked
"What family?" she asked looking at the floor.
"Well this family of course." Bloo spoke as he pointed all around him.
"So how about it." I asked "Will you stay."
"I think I will." rose smiled and everyone cheered. I knew, from now on life was NEVER going to be the same again.
