Chapter 9
"Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me." Ben groaned before he tried to press the buttons on the keypad.
"Little buttons!" Ben then groaned once more after he pressed the lever over the buttons.
"Hello, Operator?" Ben asked the payphone's operator before he asked the operator to call his home phone.
+Ben and Debbie's appartment+
"Hello?" Debbie asked over the phone after she woke up.
+With Ben+
Debs? It's me." Ben told his fiancee.
+With Debbie+
"Ben? Are you all right? You sound a little different." Debbie worringly asked her fiance.
+With Ben+
"Uh, listen, I need you to come out front." Ben nervously told Debbie.
+With Debbie+
"Out front? You're home, baby?" Debbie curiously asked her fiance as she opened the curtains of her window and then looked out the window for Ben.
+With Ben+
"Yeah." Ben laughed not knowing that Debbie was looking at him.
+With Debbie+
"I got a surprise for you." Debbie happily told Ben causing the rock like man to laugh.
+With Ben+
"Yeah, I gor a little one for you too." Ben told Debbie before he hung up the phone and then hid behind some tall plants as Debbie ran out of her appartment and then looked around for Ben.
+With Debbie+
"Ben?" Debbie yelled as she ran over to a red call box in nothing but a thin and short nightgown.
"Where are you?" Debbie then asked as she walked over to some of the nearby bushes.
+Behind the bushes+
"I'm over here." Ben told Debbie causing the blond to run over to the bushes before Ben stopped her.
"Don't come any closer for a sec, okay?" Ben nervously asked Debbie causing the blond to stop.
"It's gonna-It's gonna be a bit of a shock." Ben then told Debbie.
+With Debbie+
"Honey, what's going on?" Debbie asked Ben as she crossed her arms over her chest.
+With Ben+
"Debs, remember w-when we used to say, together forever, no matter what?" Ben then nervously asked Debbie as he looked out at her from behind the bushes.
+With Debbie+
"Yeah?" Debbie asked Ben causing the rock like man to look down.
"Baby, you're scaring me." Debbie then worringly told Ben before the rock like man step out of the bushes and then took off his hat.
"Oh my Godess." Debbie gasped in disgust.
"Deb. It's me. It's still me. It was the accident. Let me explain." Ben tried to tell Debbie as he tried to get close to her as Debbie backed away from him.
"No! Don't touch me!" Debbie screamed in fright before she ran away from Ben.
"Debs!" Ben yelled as Debbie ran into the street and right in front of a cab causing it to stop as Ben sadly looked at his former fiancee.
+With Debbie+
"What are you doin', lady?" the cab driver asked Debbie before she ran off down the street once more before the cab driver notice Ben.
"Hey! I'm callin' the police!" the cab driver angerly told Ben just as more voices filled the air causing Ben to put back on his hat and then run away from the appartment.
+Brooklyn Bridge, the next morning+
As the sun shined brightly in the sky, Ben grumbled as he sat on the edge of the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Oh yeah, Ben. A few days in space. It'll be great. What's the worst that could happen?" Ben grumbled as he repeated word for word what Reed had told him before the accident just before a pigeon landed on his shoulder causing Ben to look at the little bird.
"Hey, little guy." Ben smiled at the little bird.
"You're not afraid of me, are ya?" Ben chuckled causing the pigeon to coo at him before he flew off causing Ben to smile before he noticed the 'gift' that the pigeon had left him on his shoulder.
"Perfect." Ben grumbled before he looked up at the sky.
"Thanks." Ben told the sky before he wiped the goo off of his shoulder just as a nervous man walked onto the edge with a briefcase in his hands and then began to mutter to himself causing Ben to look at him just as the man dropped his briefcase causing it to fall into the water below.
"Hey!" Ben told the man just as he was about to leap off the bridge causing the man to stop and then gasp in fright as he looked at Ben in fright.
"You think you got problems? You take a good look, pal. Huh. How bad could it be, right?" Ben told and then asked the freaked out man as he began to slowly back away from him.
"Uh, I don't think you-" Ben began to tell the man as the man began to mutter once more causing Ben to sigh as the man almost lost his footing.
"Okay, pal, take it easy." Ben then told the man as he stood up and then began to slowly walk over to the freaked out nut causing the man to back up onto a thin steel beam over the bridge.
"No, no, no. Don't go out there. I said stop, you fruitcake!" Ben told the man as he walked onto the steel beam.
"No, no, no. Come close." Ben then told the man as some people stopped what they were doing and then look at Ben and the fruitcake causing the fruitcake to back away from Ben.
"That's further! Come closer!" Ben told the man as he tried to get the fruitcake off of the steel beam.
"I said stop! No, no, no!" Ben then yelled at the fruitcake after he lost his footing and then fell off of the steel beam causing the fruitcake to grab onto the steel beam.
"Feet!" Ben yelled at the fruitcake as he tried to walk over to him causing the man to let go of the steel beam and then fall onto the road below causing a car to drive around him before Ben lept off of the beam and then landed next to the man causing another car to drive around him as the sounds of horn honking filled the air causing Ben's eyes to widen in fright as a very large truck rolled down the bridge and towards Ben and the fruitcake causing the truck's driver to look at Ben in fright.
