The next morning Elias woke up, got dressed & went out to the balcony. He watched the sun rise as he thought about his operation later that day.

"Today's my last day living with cancer. Once the surgery is over I'll be in good health again. Everyone will be so happy to see me doing better once the cancer is gone" thought Elias.

Kelly soon woke up & joined Elias on the balcony.

"Good morning Kelly" said Elias.

"Good morning Elias. Are you ready for the operation?" asked Kelly.

"Yes. I can't wait for the cancerous tumours to be removed. Once they're out I'll make a full recovery" said Elias.

"I'm glad to be here with you. Nothing is more beautiful than watching the sunrise with your 1 true love" said Kelly.

Elias smiled as he & Kelly stayed on the balcony watching the sunrise. Soon everyone else woke up.

"Good morning everyone" said Angel.

"Looks like today will be a beautiful day" said Carlana.

"What time is Elias' operation?" asked Everest.

"I think it's scheduled for 12:00 PM. We have to be at the hospital by 11:30" said Jake.

"The sooner Elias' cancer is removed the happier we'll all be" said Ryder.

Everyone went to the restaurant to eat breakfast. Elias didn't eat anything since he was told he couldn't consume any food within the last 12 hours before surgery. Although Elias wished he could eat he knew that if he did it might cause complications during the operation. After everyone finished eating breakfast they checked out of their hotel room & went into town. They decided to spend the morning at the playground. Elias, Kelly & Ryder played together & enjoyed themselves. They kept an eye out for Devon, Serenity & Zeke but none of them showed up.

"Today has been a great day so far. The weather is beautiful & I'm having fun with my best friend & girlfriend" said Elias.

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. It makes me happy to see you in such a good mood" said Kelly.

"Me too. This is the best weekend I've ever had" said Ryder.

11:30 soon came which meant it was time to go to the hospital for the operation. After checking in at the reception everyone sat in the waiting room. They were all feeling a bit nervous.

"I hope the surgery goes well. It would be awful if something went wrong" said Angel.

"The surgeons are highly trained. I doubt they'd make any mistakes" said Carlana.

"I hope the operation doesn't take too long. The sooner I can get my cancer removed the better" said Elias.

"Do we go home after the surgery?" asked Everest.

"Not quite. There's a cancer based charity in town we'll be visiting to donate the leftover fundraiser money to" said Jake.

"It's nice to know that our donation will help other people with different types of cancer" said Kelly.

"I hope our donation makes a difference. I'd be satisfied if it saved other people's lives" said Ryder.

Soon 12:00 arrived. The surgeons appeared to take Elias for surgery. Everyone else had to wait in the waiting room. Elias gave his wig to Kelly for her to hold onto until he came out of surgery.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'm in good hands now" said Elias as he was taken into the operating room to undergo surgery. After Elias lay down on the gurney the lead surgeon placed a mask on him that was hooked up to a machine with laughing gas.

"OK Elias I want you to start counting down from 100" said the lead surgeon.

"OK. 100, 99, 98, 97, 96…" said Elias as he was rendered unconscious by the gas. The surgeons then got to work removing the cancer. They used their instruments to make incisions in Elias' abdomen & hold his organs in place as they looked for the tumours. There were 3 tumours that needed to be removed. The 1ST tumour was located between Elias' stomach & intestines, the 2ND tumour was located between Elias' colon & liver & the 3RD & final tumour was located between Elias' kidney & pancreas. The surgeons carefully removed 1 tumour at a time making sure not to make any mistakes. After they removed all the tumours they checked to make sure there weren't any other cancerous growths that needed to be removed. Ultimately it was only the 3 tumours they'd already removed that were cancerous. With the cancer out, the surgeons stitched Elias back up. Shortly after Elias was stitched back up he regained consciousness.

"That felt like it was only 5 minutes. Is the cancer out?" asked Elias.

"Yes. All the cancerous tumours have been removed. You should make a full recovery now that you are cancer free" said the head surgeon.

"Excellent. My family & friends will be so happy to know this" said Elias.

After doing a few other check-ups to make sure Elias was in good health he returned to the others. Back in the waiting room everyone anxiously waited for Elias to emerge. They all hoped the operation was successful.

"I hope nothing went wrong. That would be horrible" said Angel.

"I have a feeling that everything went smoothly" said Carlana.

"Just as long as there aren't any other health issues I'm not too concerned" said Everest.

"I bet Elias will be feeling much better once he comes out of surgery" said Jake.

"I don't doubt it. He'll probably feel like a brand-new person" said Kelly.

"Everyone back home will be happy to see Elias' health return to normal again" said Ryder.

Soon Elias returned. He gave everyone a hug & kissed Kelly before putting his wig back on.

"The operation was a complete success. I'm now completely cancer free" said Elias.

"I'm glad to hear that. Once we get back home everyone in Adventure Bay will be happy to hear that everything went well" said Kelly.

"Time to go. I can't wait to donate the leftover fundraiser money to a good cause" said Ryder.

Everyone left the hospital & drove to Conquer Cancer Co HQ. They went straight over to the receptionist.

"Hello. What can I do for you?" asked the receptionist.

"We're here to donate. On behalf of the people of Adventure Bay we'd like to donate $15,000 to your cause" said Elias.

"Wow that's quite a generous donation. Thank you so much" said the receptionist.

"You're welcome. I just left surgery to have my own bowel cancer removed. Without the surgery I wouldn't have survived. I owe it all to my family & friends for making this all possible" said Elias.

"I'm glad we could help put this money to good use. I hope that this money will save many lives" said Ryder.

"Me too. Thanks for the donation" said the receptionist.

"You're welcome. Bye" said Elias as he & the others left & began heading home. As everyone drove back to Adventure Bay Elias thought about how it was good to be cancer free.

"I feel so much better now that my cancer has been removed. It kind of feels like I've been reborn. I hope that 1 day a cure for cancer is discovered. That way it'll reduce the number of deaths caused by it" thought Elias.

Soon everyone returned to Adventure Bay. They went to Jake's cabin & went inside.

"I'm glad that everything is back to normal again" said Angel.

"Me too. This weekend was great" said Carlana.

"Now that I no longer have cancer I'll make a full recovery in no time" said Elias.

"Hopefully your hair grows back quickly. That way you won't have to wear a wig" said Everest.

"I can't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces when they see that you're in good health again Elias. They'll all be thrilled at the news" said Jake.

"It's such a great feeling knowing that your health is going to improve. You having good health is important to us all" said Kelly.

"I'd say this weekend was great. Except for that park incident yesterday this weekend was perfect" said Ryder.

Everyone spent the evening eating dinner & watching TV together. As they all went to bed Elias thought about the reaction the rest of the town would have when they found out his operation was a success.

"Everyone will be so happy to see that I've beaten my cancer. I imagine that their faces will light up when they hear the news. I couldn't have done this without their help. Adventure Bay is 1 of the best places I've ever lived in" thought Elias as he went to sleep.
