Kitten, as usual, was the first person to wake up. She held completely still and didn't open her eyes until all the memories of yesterday replayed in her head, and she frowned. Kitten hated it when Ace was hurt, and now it was him and his gang! Kitten opened her eyes and blinked to get the clear image and saw Ace, laying down on the bed sleeping, holding her hand. Kitten smiled a bit and very nimbly got her hand free of Ace's and then she got up. Placing her hands behind her back Kitten stretched until she head a satisfying pop from her back. "Popping your back is sometimes really bad." a voice whispered and Kitten turned to where the voice came from, and next to her was none other then Viper. "We need to talk." Viper mouthed and slowly Kitten nodded her head. Quickly though Kitten wrote a note to Ace and left it at the bed table and then walked out of the room with Kitten.


In the Hallway

Kitten and Viper walked the hallways, not knowing where the 2 were going. "So what's up V?" Kitten asked and realized that Viper blushed a bit. "Kitty...I made a new masterpiece." Viper whispered and Kitten grinned at this. "Great! Can I see it?" Kitten asked and to respond Viper held out one her sketchpads and Kitten eagerly took it. Kitten looked through the pages, taking in all the details of all the dresses and the stage. "You've done it again V, this will look great!" Kitten complemented and Viper blushed a bit more. "Thanks Kitten...I haven't showed the girls yet though..." Viper confessed and Kitten slightly smiled as she draped an arm over Viper's shoulders. "We'll tell them together then!" Kitten happily stated, making Viper smile a bit under her blush. "Thanks Kitten! I knew I could count on you!" Viper chimed as she hugged Kitten, who was suprised and happy at the action.

"...Is there something else that you aren't telling me V?" Kitten asked after Viper didn't let go after a bit. Viper seemed to go stiff as Kitten asked that, and Viper slowly straightened up. "...I was inspired for this one..." Viper slowly whispered and Kitten continued to stare at her. "And..." Kitten stated, not asked. "And...It was thanks to you...And Snake..." Viper blushed more at the last part as Kitten's eyes widened in surprise. Sure Viper has been inspired by boys before...But normally it was because of cheating, back stabbing, drunkenness, etc. but never once was it because of a crush. Kitten couldn't help but giggle at this. "I-it ain't funny!" Viper whispered harshly, yet Kitten still giggled. "Your blushing over a boy V...It so cute!" Kitten chimed the last part as she lightly pinched Viper's cheek, only making Viper blush more.

"Kitten would you please take this seriously?" Viper asked as she stared up at her child acting leader, who just smirked a bit. "Fine I guess, I won't embarrass you that much...Now come on." Kitten stated as she pulled Viper along with her. "Wh-where are we going?" Viper asked as she took her sketchpad from Kitten and tried not to trip over her 2 feet. "To eat breakfast with the boy of course!" Kitten explained as if it was obvious, yet the reply only caused Viper to blush a bit more as her heart beat quickened. "Wh-what!" Viper asked as she planted both her feet down on the ground, causing Kitten to be held back. "What's the matter? Don't ya want to see Snake?" Kitten asked and Viper did give a subtle nod of her head meaning yes. "Then what's the matter?" Kitten asked as she turned around to looke at Viper, who was watching the ground and shuffled her feet.

"Wh-what if he doesn't like me?" Viper asked, and Kitten lightly smiled. 'She is just a kid in the age of romance aint she?' Kitten thought as she looked down at Viper. Slowly Kitten ruffled Viper's hair, causing her to look up a bit startled. "I know for a fact V that he does like you. Me and Ace will help you both out okay?" Kitten asked, and this made Viper smile. "Really? You would?" Viper asked and Kitten nodded her head. 'She doesnt even care about Ace.' Kitten giggled in her thoughts. "Thanks Kitten! Your the best!" Viper exclaimed as she hugged Kitten's torso, and Kitten lightly smiled at her. "Yeah well...Come on...Ace probably didn't find the note so he is probably freaking out by now." Kitten giggled and Viper laughed at the last part while she nodded her head. So the 2 left walking back down the hallway.

"Hey what is in your other sketchpad?" Kitten asked as she saw that Viper was carrying 2 sketchpads. "Oh! This one has a few sketches is all." Viper blushed at the sentence. "Let me guess, a few are of Snake?" Kitten asked as she playfully punched Viper's arm. "Yes...A lot of them actually..." Viper confessed and Kitten smirked at that. 'I will keep that in mind.' Kitten thought as the 2 continued to walk down.


Outside the Hospital Room

Kitten opened the door to find that the gang was all there along with Ace who was trying to get out of his bed, yet he stopped once he saw Kitten. "Kitten! Where did you go! Why didn't you-" Ace was cut off by Kitten. "There is a note on the bed side table." Kitten pointed out as she jotted her finger at it and Ace turned and read it. Ace blushed a bit as he sheepishly grinned at Kitten and Viper giggled a bit. Hearing the new giggle all the boys leaned over and saw that Viper was standing behind Kitten. Viper stopped giggling and saw that everyone but Kitten was staring at her, Viper hide behind Kitten and took a light grip of her sleeve. "Alright boys ease up on her will ya? Ya making her feel a bit uncomfortable." Ace commanded and the gang stopped staring at Viper, well all besides Snake who some times let his eyes wander a bit. Kitten walked into the room and Viper let go of her shirt, yet still followed close behind.

Kitten sat down on her make-shift bed/recliner and Viper just pulled up a chair and sat down in it. Then the nurse came in. The nurse was wearing the standard white nurse uniform, but had creme skin, light pink lips, blue eyes, red hair that was in pleated pig tails, and red nurse shoes. "Hello boys, I am sorry but you all can't be in here at once. Please leave and go to your assigned rooms." the Nurse stated to Grubber and Big Billy, all the boys argued about that. "V, I think ya need to step in." Kitten whispered to Viper, who looked at her as if she had gone crazy.

"Why?" Viper asked harshly yet still in a whisper, and Kitten rolled her eyes. "Because it might give you come points with Snake." Kitten whispered to Viper, and Viper's eyes went wide in realization of how true that was. "Fine." Viper whispered as she handed her sketchpads to Kitten and got up. 'Knew that she would fall for that.' Kitten thought as she watched the show that was gonna happen. "um...Miss?" Viper asked the nurse once she got closer to her. "Um...You see...I am a trainee nurse and I was wondering if I could take you pulse?" Viper asked innocently, though the nurse was a little uncertain.

Probably due to the fact that Viper being dressed in a black tank top, a ripped dark blue t-shirt under it, distressed black jeans, yellow tights, and dark red sneakers didn't give her a very caring appearance to her. "Please?" Viper asked as she gave the nurse puppy dog eyes, she fell for it. "Oh, I don't see the problem in it." the Nurse finally stated as she exposed her forearm to Viper, a big mistake. Viper took hold of the Nurse's arm but then started to massage her arm. "What are you-" the Nurse cut off as she started to sway a bit. "It isssss perfectly fine if the boyssss are in here." Viper hissed, the sound was extremely soothing. "It is perfectly fine if the boys are in here." the Nurse mimicked in a out-of-it tone. "I sssssshal tell other nursssesssss about that." Viper hissed once more as the Nurse continued to swayed in place. "I will tell other nurses about that." the Nurse stated, and then Viper let go of her.

"Done." Viper stated before snapping her finger in the Nurse's face, the Nurse blinked her eyes and looked around. "Oh! I see you all are having breakfast together! How nice, well I will leave you all alone then! Bye!" the Nurse chimed as she gave all the boys their food and left, the boys stared at Viper. "How'd ya do that!" Ace asked, amazed at Viper's action. "It's her gift, she can sense the pressure points on people and use them to somehow hypnotize them...Don't ask me how it works, I never understand." Kitten explained, technically. "Like a viper in the wild, I can figure out how much venom to use on my victims to get what I want." Viper whispered as she looked around the room, all the boys stared at her. "Well we better get going, right V?" Kitten asked as she got up and Viper nodded her head yes.

Viper stood up, but turned around for some odd reason. "Okay, kiss Ace goodbye." Viper stated, and then Arturo, Big Billy, and Grubber all looked away. Snake, who was the closest to Viper right now, just stared at her. Kitten rolled her eyes as she pressed her lips to Ace's and the 2 just did a short kiss. "Bye sweetie, see you later." Kitten whispered to Ace who nodded his head. "Come on V, oh and Snake. I left something under your bed." Kitten stated as she and Viper walked out the room. Snake looked confused and reached under his bed and pulled a sketchpad out. His eyes seemed to go wide as he saw in fancy script: Property of Viper. The words were written on the front and Snake slightly gulped and put the sketchpad under his pillow, he'd look at it later.
