Liz and Patty rode with Kid to the hospital to the ER wing, but when they took him in the girls weren't allowed to follow, instead they had to sit outside and answer a bunch of different questions on a sheet of paper. Liz felt the pencil start to bend under her clenching fingers. The questions were just pissing her off more and more. When he got the measles, mumps, chicken pox, if anything ran in their family, how was she supposed to know? Just as she was about to scream in frustration she heard sniffling and she turned, Patty was crying, Liz felt horrible, in all her rage at these stupid things that weren't going to help Kid, she'd forgotten that her sister had been right next to her. "Don't worry." Liz said, a fake smile on her face. "He's a Shinigami, a little thing like this couldn't hurt him. Plus shouldn't you be working?" she asked. Patty looked at her in confusion.

"Well he's going to need a get well card isn't he? And who do I know that makes great ones that make him smile with giraffes all over them?" Me!" said Patty happily, and she ran over to the little kids section the hospital had set up, just some coloring books, paper, crayons, and pencils, it'd be enough to keep her busy for a while.

"Excuse me, you're the partner of Death the Kid correct?" A fat doctor in a white coat with the most ugly glasses Liz had ever seen was talking to her, and he had a huge nose, and was that? Yes, there was a huge wart on the end of his nose, like wartzilla.

"How's Kid?" she asked, trying to ignore it, was that a hair she saw sticking out of the wart?

"Well, it appears he does have appendicitis." said the doctor, annoyed she guessed by the fact that he'd already been diagnosed with it. "He's been scheduled for immediate surgery."

"Can we see him?" she asked.

He shook his head, "I'm sorry, but in his condition we have to operate immediately, if anything happens I'll let you know." he said walking away from the stunned demon pistol.

"Liz! Patty!""Maka?" asked Liz as her friend burst through the entrance of the ER still in her pajamas, followed by Soul, Tsubaki, and Black Star.

"Liz, we came as soon as we heard." said Tsubaki.

"But how did you?""Let's just say Shinigama has a way of getting news around." growled Black Star, waking up from a dream while sucking his thumb to see Shinigama watching him from the giant mirror in his room wasn't fun.

"How is he?" asked Soul.

"A doctor came out a while ago and talked to Sis."

Liz jumped, when had Patty come back?

"Yeah, doctor came out a while ago, he said it didn't look good." and tears came to her eyes. Maka and Tsubaki immediately began to comfort the two, while Black Star and Soul just stood around, thinking this was a girl thing.

Liz, Patty and the others spent most of the night in the ER, Patty had fallen asleep on her shoulder, Maka and Soul had dozed off, Tsubaki had just fallen asleep and Black Star had been snoring for about an hour now, and just as Liz was about to punch him in the face she saw a doctor walk out. Now ever since they'd gotten there her heart had fluttered whenever a doctor walked in, hoping they would tell her Kid was alright, but each went to another family, another person. She was getting sick of it. He looked at her, checked something in a file, then made a tiny motion with his finger, as though he wanted her to come alone. Carefully she eased her shoulder away from Patty without waking her up. She walked over to the doctor.

"Liz?" he asked calmly. he was different than the other one, nicer, kinder.

"How's Kid?" she asked, almost not wanting to hear the news."Well his appendix did rupture, which is why it was such a long surgery, but we're pretty sure we managed to drain out all the pus and remove the appendix. He's in the intensive care unit right now as all patients are after surgery, but as soon as he wakes up in about an hour you're welcome to go see him."

"He's ok." Liz said, unbelieving the words he'd just said. Kid was alright! Tears began to drip from her eyes once again, she couldn't how many times she'd cried that night. "Yes, but the thing is he's going to need to take it easy for a couple of weeks, he won't be allowed to leave the hospital for at least a week.""What about his fever?""That was due to the infection in his appendix, it's gone now."

Liz sighed, and for the first time that night smiled, Kid was ok.

I do not own Soul Eater. Yay for Dr. Wart! And I'm not sure if Black Star sucks his thumb when he sleeps, it just seemed like a Black Star thing.
