Me: Hello!
Drew: …
Me: Lost for words, Drew?
Drew: …
Me: Opps. I forgot that Drew is supposed to be in critical condition.
Me: Well, there you go, since Drew isn't around, the fun ends!
Me: On to this chapter. And, don't forget, I don't own Pokemon nor any of the characters in it!
The News
Drew was lying on the hospital bed, pale and lifeless. It was a sight no one could bear to bring their eyes to see. May stood, stupefied, as the doctors and nurses rushed all over the place trying to find a remedy for him.
"How could this all happen in such a short time?" She whispered, breaking into silent tears.
May walked over to Drew and took his hand.
"Cold," was all she uttered.
From behind the doors, May's and Drew's friends saw the whole thing.
"Well, I guess he really did it," Paul shrugged.
"Did what? Don't tell me you were the one whom told Drew to climb the wall…" Dawn seethed, eyes glaring at Paul.
"Yeah," came the simple and cool reply.
"Why you-" Dawn started but was interrupted by a nurse.
"Excuse me, but I have something important to tell you. The boy over there," she pointed at Drew, "needs a blood transfusion due to the blood clots that we have taken out of his head. But, the thing is, his blood is of a very rare blood type and only about one in one thousand people have it," She finished.
"Then, what about us? We can take a test and see if ours fit," Ash spoke up.
"Yes, perhaps you all can try, but please, don't get your expectations up too high," the nurse said.
"We should try, I guess," Paul and Dawn stated.
"Now, now, you two lovebirds, don't show your communication skills in front of a single like me. It's very depressing for me, you know," Misty teased.
"We are not lovebirds!" Dawn yelled, blushing. Paul only replied with a "hmph" but you could see a tint of red on his face.
"Erm, excuse me, but what is lovebirds? Is it something you can cook and eat? Is it tasty?" Ash questioned dumbly.
The only reply to his question, sadly, is a knock on the head with Misty's famous hammer.
A few moments after the nurse tested their blood type, Brendan, Gary and Kenny arrived.
"Hey, Dawn, I heard Drew is in this hospital. What happened?" Kenny asked, worried and anxious.
"Well, ask that Mr. Person-who-started-it-all over there," Dawn glared viciously at Paul who was unaffected by it.
"Hmph," was what Paul replied with.
"Anyway, Drew needs a transfusion of blood, which, unfortunately, is very rare," Misty continued, "so we're going to see if either one of us can donate our blood."
"Well, let us help too," Gary stepped in, "after all, we are your friends."
"Thank you," Misty shot a grateful look towards Gary.
" By the way, where is May?" Brendan questioned.
"Inside the room. But if you do not want Drew's condition to worsen, you better avoid her until he gets better," Paul muttered.
"Why?" Brendan challenged.
"Because that's why," Paul said.
"Okay guys, break it up, this is a hospital, please keep your voice level to a minimum," a nurse reminded them.
"Sorry," Brendan said, looking apologetic.
"Hmph," Paul said, not looking the slightest bit sorry.
"Where are your manners?" Dawn shot him an irritated look.
"Hmph. I don't say sorry to people," Paul replied.
"What a snob," Dawn sighed.
"Anyway, Dawn, can you come over to my house tomorrow? I have something to show you," Kenny said.
"Sure," Dawn happily agreed.
Now, Paul doesn't look jealous, does he? But, you and I know, deep down, the urge to kill Kenny right then and there is very evident, right?
All Paul did was to stare at Kenny before Kenny took notice of the warning and quickly withdrew his invitation, "erm, Dawn, I forgot that I had to do something tomorrow. Sorry."
"Oh, I see, well, never mind," Dawn smiled.
Just then, May came out of the room.
"May, are you okay?" Misty asked, worried for her friend.
"I'm fine, just that," May paused, "the doctor passed by and told me that the reports are out and that I am the only one that has blood similar to that of Drew's. The thing is, when I told my mother about it, she said that she would not allow me to do the transfusion. If I disobey," she continued, "she will transfer me to another school."
