Back at the hospital...

Katie sat on the side of the sidewalk outside of the hospital. About half an hour after Katie had left the hospital room, Pinky decided to take a nap, ending their meeting from there. Ghostly went off to work at Gino's Pizzeria, while Violet and Poppy went off to go to the florist so that the goth could drop her little sister off at her job.

Katie on the other hand, decided to wait outside for somebody who she hasn't talked to in awhile now. It took a bit of a wait, but the car finally pulled up next to the tomboy, causing her to stand up from the ground. The window rolls down, revealing the girl inside of it.

The girl has messy red hair, and is wearing a black leather jacket with a dark gray t-shirt with the 'Metallica' logo on the front of it, as well as light blue jeans. This is Annie Radd, somebody Katie is friends with, but hasn't spoke to in awhile now, mainly due to her own work. Not to mention, Annie was usually busy with her boyfriend, or the other boys that she hangs out with. The girl gave Katie a smirk.

"It's been too long, dude." Annie said.

"I know..." Katie said, as she got into the car. "Shall we go to your house?"

"Why not? Odin Revolution should be waiting for me there anyway."

Annie started her car again, starting to drive down the road, heading off to her house. Katie sat there, as they were driving along the rode, neither of them talked to each other. Feeling like breaking the silence a little, Katie decided to reach out to the radio, just to see what was on. She turns it on, as the song 'Every Rose Has it's Thorn' by Poison started to play.

"Leave this song on, dude. Me and Odin love this band." Annie said. Katie chuckles a bit, before shaking her head.

"Oh, I never miss that part about you, Annie. You and your love your rock music." Katie said. "So...how have you and Odin been? I haven't heard from you guys in awhile now."

"It's been pretty fine, really. Me and Odin have both been enjoying each others time together, enjoyed our listening to our favorite songs...among other things like that, really." Annie turns her head towards the tomboy to her right. "Really, nothing really has changed after we last spoke to each other." The dentist nods her head, as she looks forward. "So...what about you? Anything new with you?"

Katie took a bit of a deep breath, before shaking her head. "Nothing more but...me and Crystal being friends again, and...probably will no longer be friends anymore once she returns to Simport..." Annie stops the car abruptly.

"You're joking. She left?!"

"No joke, Annie. She left Simport because her former friends are not forgiving her, without me knowing...and...let's just say that this indirectly led to Pinky being in the hospital for being overly stressed, to the point where her damn wedding is done for..."

"Pinky was going to get married?"

"Yep...but that's no longer happening because she's in the hospital because of her pregnancy..."

"Holy crap..."

"I know...believe me, there's a lot more that happened over the past few weeks, and let's just say...it's been one hell of a fucking ride..." Katie glares at the front window, as Annie sat there, pretty speechless by what was being told to her. "For what it's worth...there is some sort of light that can come from this..." The tomboy smiled lightly. "Remember my cousin Vance?"

"Yeah. What about him?"

"He's here in Simport right now, working at the SPA Agency."

"Woah...no joke, dude?"

"No joke." Katie turns her head towards Annie once again. "He's even gotten himself a new girlfriend around here. Ginny...I mean, Captain Ginny..."

"That girl who always dressed up like a pirate?" The tomboyish dentist nodded her head, silently. "Man, that can't be good..."

"Can't be good? They are actually a lot better together than I would've thought." Katie smiled. "I mean, I use to not really be big of friends with Ginny, but...after she and Vance started dating, she's been...pretty nice to him. So I'm just happy that I was able to give Ginny the benefit of the doubt on this one...unlike..." Katie stopped herself from talking. Annie then spoke up next.

"Unlike Crystal...yeah, I hear you..."

"Yeah...later on, I feel I owe her a call so that I can tell her about what had happened to Pinky, because now that Pinky is in the hospital of all places, I feel like she has to know so that she knows what her attempts of talking to Violet and the others has caused." Annie cringed, before Katie pats the girl on her back. "Either way, the doctors told me that Pinky is going to be okay, just as long as she can control her stress."

"That's good to hear."

"Yeah. But too bad the wedding's still not going to happen...because of..." Annie held up a hand, shaking her head.

"Dude, enough talk about Crystal Montell...she's not in Simport right now, so don't even bother."

"Alright, sorry...I shouldn't be rambling about that bitch right now anyway..."

"Good to know..." Annie then turned her head towards Katie, raising an eyebrow about another person that she hasn't heard about in awhile. "So...what about Summer Baxter? How's she doing?" Katie scoffs hearing her friend ask that.

"Oh don't talk about her either...that bitch can not be part of me or Chaz's life after all she's done..." Katie sighed. "...But, she did end up being the first person to know what's going on with Pinky...so that's something..."

"I guess."

"Tell you Annie, at least with Crystal gone, nothing else could possibly get any worse than this..."

"I doubt it..." Annie looks over to Katie, not keeping her eyes on the road as she spoke to her. "...Tell you, Kate...if you say that to yourself, and it's already bad, just know that it's only going to get worse. One time, I was already having such a shitty day, until one dude in line when I was trying to get some food at a Pizza Hut taps my shoulder, and says that I was in his spot, all because he left for a couple seconds just to get something from his car..." Katie looks forward, eyes widened.

"ANNIE, LOOK OUT!" Katie screams, right before everything went to black for Katie.


Moments ago...

Pablo was still riding his bike to his best friend's house. He was trying to get to Ginny's house as fast as he could, not daring himself to stop for a second to take a rest, not one moment. He wanted to try to work things out with Ginny, and hope that things between the two could finally be okay, once and for all.

'I have to make this right...Ginny is my best friend...' Pablo said in his thoughts. '...I just hope she's willing to forgive me for everything that I've caused...for keeping my crush on her secret for so long...for...being such a terrible best friend to her...'

The boy continued to ride as fast as he could throughout the streets, trying to get to Ginny's house, before being ready to ride across an empty crosswalk. But as he was about to cross it, he didn't take time to notice a car was about to head straight for him. He could only think about Ginny and nothing more than her, nothing else could be in his focus except for the girl he was friends with.

Pablo rode off the sidewalk, and onto the crosswalk...

Only for it all to come to a screeching halt...

Without warning, Pablo felt the front of the car drive straight into him and his bike, as he flew off of it, and onto the ground. He landed onto the road, rolling straight towards the other side of the street, as the car nearly crashed into one of the streetlights. The car thankfully stopped, once it got to the edge of the sidewalk on the other side of the street, a couple inches away from Pablo.


Katie slowly opened her eyes...

It felt like a nightmare actually happening right in front of her...

It felt so real, yet she had no idea why it did...

Katie sat up, rubbing the side of her head, looking around the car, seeing that she and Annie had accidentally crashed the car somehow. Katie turns her head to see that Annie was knocked out too. She places a hand onto her best friend, shaking her, hoping that she was alright. Thankfully, Annie woke up.

"Ah...what the hell happened?" Annie asked.

"I think we crashed into something..." Katie said. "Are you okay, dude?"

"I think I'm alright. How about you?"

"What do you think? Crystal was causing a bunch of stress, and now I almost died..." Katie opens the door to her right, before stepping out. "Come on...I think I'll call Chaz so that we can get your car fixed if there's anything damaged after that..."

Katie's voice trailed off, as she looked at what they have crashed into. She saw the bike that was broken across the other side of the street. Fear fell upon her face, as she slowly turned towards where the person who had the bike was at.

Slowly, Katie looks over the hood of the car, seeing Pablo passed out on the ground by the side of the sidewalk. A bruise was visible on his forehead, as a couple more scratches were seen on his arms and legs. The tomboy felt her heart sank after seeing this, nearly feeling like everything was now beginning to fall apart around her extremely quickly now.

Annie soon stepped out of the car, closing the door behind her, only to see the same exact thing. The girl's eyes widened, horrified that she was seeing that somebody was injured right in front of her.

"Oh my god..." Annie said, silently, as Katie went over to the person. "Katie, we just hit somebody..." Katie kneels down, appearing to be looking for something that was nearby the boy knocked out. "Katie..."

The tomboyish dentist picked up the nearest item that was found, which was a photo that had fell out of Pablo's jacket pocket. The photo brought a tear to Katie's eye when she realized who they had just ran over by mistake. The photo was of Pablo and Ginny, with the words 'Captain Ginny, first mate Pablo' written in marker on the back of it.

"Oh my God...this can't be happening..." Katie said, softly. "This man...he's Ginny's best friend..." Annie held onto the side of her head, as she was horrified by what had just happened.

It was right around this moment that Eleanor and Vance arrived, doing what Eleanor had promised to Roxie. The two were trying to find Pablo, only to stop to see the car crash that had just happened. The female agent parked her car by the side of the street, before she and Vance got out to see what has happened. Katie and Annie looked over to the SPA Agents, seeing that they have arrived now.

"What happened over here?!" Eleanor asked. Vance looks down at Pablo, eyes widened at the fact that he was really seeing somebody that Ginny's best friend was passed out right then and there. He then looks up, horrified to see that Katie was actually involved in this incident. Katie and Annie both looked at each other, horrified by what had just happened seconds ago.
