The frog's life was teetering on fate.
Garnet ended up going back to the house briefly, and gathered two viles- one with Rose's tears, and another with Steven's spit.
Both were used on the injured Keronian with...mixed results. Some of the bones with more minor fractures healed instantly, while more major injuries were still partially evident.
Extra surgery was needed to fix one of the frog's legs...as well as to ease some of the swelling that had occurred in the creature's skull. As it turned out, there was a lot of damage done to Gamma's skull, but the pieces were held together by the frog's hat.
Aparently, someone had poured an obscene amount of super glue under the hat, which kept everything in place quite nicely. Unfortunately, this also meant that the MIB had to remove the hat to perform the surgery. This required quite a bit of finagling with the super glue.
After four major surgeries, the Keronian's immunity began to strengthen, and heal on its own.
The wait was unbearable for the entire party.
Finally, after what seemed like DAYS of waiting, an MIB alien doctor entered the waiting room from the surgery deck. Everyone stood up in anticipation.
As the doctor smiled, all the tension of the previous events blew away with the wind. The doctor spoke: "Gamama has some new battle scars from the multiple surgeries...but his immunity has returned to normal. He'll need three more days of sleep, and a bit of recovery time, but he should be fine!"
Overjoyed with emotion, Toaster gave the doctor the biggest hug she could muster!
...
...which resulted in turning the doctor's scrub PANTS into scrub SHORTS. The Gem blushed in embarrassment. Her heat had ruined the human's clothing. The doctor was just happy that the family of the injured alien was joyous and greatful!
When Gamma finally awoke, he was in a hospital bed. His head hurt...as well as the back of his left leg, and several parts of his torso and face. He turned his head to the left slowly, and his gaze was met with a fluffy, brown, cat-like smile.
"Hello Fred." The Keronian chuckled to himself. "I can see you've been watching over me, eh?"
The plushie said nothing- of course. He glanced in the opposite direction, and saw his mother and father asleep by his bedside. In that instant, Gamma knew that everything was going to be alright.
The alien closed his eyes and began to rest once more.
It was just another day...another day for a bunch of aliens with trapper hats.
...and with that, I hope you guys all enjoyed "Aliens With Trapper Hats"! It was a pleasure tackling such a major project! I hope my silly little story made you all smile!
