8:00pm. That was the time it was as Lian wearing nothing but a baby blue colored hospital robe silently lay awake in her bed, tight bandages covering her entire stomach and currently hooked up to an IV. It has been a week since her fight with her mechanical copy and she heard of the news that local people were starting to see The Jokester in a new light.

"At least things are starting to look up for me in a social sense." Lian said giggling to herself. "My adoring audience is finally starting to see that trying to turn over a new leaf!"

Lian turned towards the table next to her and grabbed a piece of bread her nurse had given her.

"A shame about this place's food though." Lian said as she took a bite of the bread. "This bread is more stale than one of Ludos's jokes."

As she continued to cringe in disgust as she ate the bread, she heard a soft tapping coming from the room's windows.

"Huh? Someone's tapping on the window over yonder? But I'm on the third floor of the building…" Lian asked herself.

The ex-murderer grabbed her IV and slowly got out of her bed, rolling the vitamin infusing contraption with her as she went to check what exactly was causing such commotion so late at night. Lian finally opened the window, only to be greeted with silent darkness.

"I guess it must've been my imagination, I have been told I have a cuRAZY mind before." Lian said to herself as she scratched her head.

"Nice to see you're doing well, Crazy Pants."

"What? Who said that!?" Lian exclaimed as she looked around outside.

"Look up. Towards your right."

Lian listened to the mysterious voice and was greater with a pleasant and unexpected surprise. In the air was none other than Maggi, currently sitting on a large raven.

"Ballon Bosoms! I didn't expect to see you here so late!" Lian exclaimed, obviously happy to see the artist.

"Well I heard about you saving the city from some dangerous threat and since there's only one hospital in the whole town, I decided to pay you a visit." Maggi explained as she slowly flew closer to talk to Lian face to face.

"Oh really now? And how did you know that I wasn't dead?" Lian asked.

"Because I know you wouldn't go down to something like that." Maggi said, leaning forward and pinching Lian's right cheek. "And you're a persistent little bastard."

The two of them happily chuckled at Maggi's comment as the emo made her way through the wind and into Lian's hospital room. Maggi took out her tablet and in a flash of light, the raven she had rid on went back into her drawing system.

"So uh… care to explain the giant beauty that is that raven that you rode on?" Lian asked the artist.

"Me and Luce went to get a tablet yesterday and I got a special one thanks to Fangs." Maggi said as she put her tablet back in her jacket pocket. "Lucy gave me this jacket yesterday as well to help me with my squish training."

"Wowie… looks like you had a pretty eventful day yesterday." Lian said with a smirk. "At least it wasn't a total bust!"

Maggi said nothing in response to Lian's joke. She just looked at the ground in silence as Lian started to become a bit worried.

"H-Hey Mags… you okay?" Lian asked the well endowed artist.

Maggi suddenly held out her arms and hugged Lian tightly, catching the ex-criminal by surprise.

"You had me so worried… don't you scare me like that again!" Maggi said sadly, her voice starting to break.

"I'm sorry for making you worry so much Maggi." Lian said as she returned the hug. "It really makes my heart fill up with a certain special happiness seeing someone care about me this much."

"It does…?" Maggi asked.

"Yes. It really does." Lian said, ruffling Maggi's hair. "You've been holding this in ever since I was admitted into the hospital haven't you?"

Maggi was completely silent, apart from a soft "mm-hmm" in between sniffles.

"Well you don't need to worry about that." Lian said, now looking Maggi in the eyes. "I don't just kneel over and die because someone tells me to. I die when I decide to die."

Lian's bold declaration of defying death managed to put the emo at ease.

"Thanks Lian…" Maggi said, wiping away her tears.

"It's no problem Mags." Lian responded. "Now how's about you and I get outta here, get something to eat and come back before the nurses notice?"

"Oh… I'm way ahead of you there Crazy Pants." Maggi said, her voice now brimming with confidence.

Lian watched in slight confusion as Maggi took off her sweater, and then blushed a little as Maggi put her hand in between her breasts and started to search around.

"I know I put them in here somewhere…" Maggi said to herself. "Ah! Found em!"

Maggi pulled out two hamburgers covered in foil and gave one to Lian.

"I love that you can do that." Lian said, unwrapping the foil on her burger.

"Really helps when you're trying to sneak inside something or steal things without people noticing." Maggi said, taking a bite. "Best part is, they're still warm."

The two sat on Lian's hospital bed, leaning on one another and happily eating as they enjoyed one another's company.
