Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll try to pump out more chapters as fast as I can. But only if you want it. I don't have support services on FF.Net so the only way I can tell people are reading my stories is if they review. So please review and tell me what you think. Good feedback and *well-constructed, intelligent* bad feedback is welcome. No flames, though, or I'll...I'll...do somethin' nasty or...whatever. :b

"So how long are we gonna stick around here," Brad asked, eyes still closed.
"We're going to wait until the doctor gives us an update on Jamie's condition," Doc Tauros answered.
"Well, in that case, I'm goin' out for a smoke," Brad said. Bit looked at Leena who was standing in the middle of the room.
*I wonder what's going through her head,* Bit thought.
*Flashback: 11 years ago*
Leena was in a great big field, picking flowers. A lovely eight-year-old, without a care in the world as the breeze whizzed by her hair. She bent down to pick a pretty tulip when she saw a pair of feet right next to it. She looked up and saw a boy the same age dressed in a very fancy guise. A red cape hung from his back and his brown hair gelled up making it look like the wind was eternally racing through it. His royal look made him look like a prince. A man destined to be king.
"Hello, there," Leena greeted smiling, "Who are you?"
The boy cleared his throat.
"My name is Harry Champ. I'm a man destined to be king!" he said proudly.
"A man destined to be king? But you're just a boy," Leena said.
"That's very observant of you," Harry said. He began to blush.
"I'm Leena. It's nice to meet you Harry. I haven't seen you aorund here before," Leena noticed.
"Leena," Harry sounded out, "What a very pretty name. Well, Leena, I just moved here and I just wanted to say," he took her hands into his, "That you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I've been admiring you from a far and I insist that you elope with me and become my queen. What do you say?"
Leena laughed nervously, a huge sweatdrop falling from her face. Was this guy nuts?
A little boy walked up to her from behind and tugged at her dress.
"Leena, your dad wanted me to tell you to come in for dinner," said the boy.
"Jamie!" Leena cried. An idea came to her. She immediatly thrusted her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. Jamie blinked in surprise.
"What the?!" Harry cried. Leena smiled.
"Sorry, Harry, but Jamie is my boyfriend already. It'd be wrong for me to cheat on him," she explained, "Besides, I love him with all my heart and wouldn't want to be separated for the world." Harry froze, mouth agape. Jamie was able to asses the situation and played along. He was incredibly smart for his age.
"Yeah, sorry, mister. Let's go, my love," he said. Jamie and Leena locked arms and walked away, giggling.
"Is that so?" Harry said, smirking. "Well, Leena I shall follow you to the ends of the earth until I win your love. Because my name is..."

"...Harry Champ! I'm a man destined to be king!" yelled a voice at the receptionist counter.
"Look, I don't care if you're destined to be Vash The Stampede! We don't treat robots here, only humans. Go to the mechanical repair shop down the street!" yelled the receptionist.
"It's okay, Harry, we'll just fix Benjamin there," said Sebastian, the short robot.
"We're not going to some rinky-dink repair shop!" Harry yelled. Then to the receptionist, "Look, I don't care one bit if you _don't_ do robots! I'm Harry Champ, a man destined to be king, and I deserve the finest and from what hear, this hospital is the finest! Now I demand you fix my AI robot, now!"
"Don't make me call security," the receptionist threatened.
"There goes Harry, making mountains out of molehills. My malfunction isn't even that serious," Benjamin said, rolling his cyber eyes.
"Hello, Harry! How's it going?" greeted Doc from the waiting room.
"Damn it, Dad, did you _have_ to call out to him?!" Leena screamed.
"LEENA!" Harry shouted with hearts in his eyes. He ran over to her and nuzzled against her. "Oh, my Leena, how are you? What would you be doing in a hospital?" Leena pushed him away, folded her arms, and looked down.
"I...I accidently sent Jamie here because I smashed his head. His skull could be broken," she said sadly. Harry starightened up.
"Jamie is injured? Gee, I'm sorry, Leena. I know how much he meant to you. I remember when we first met, you tried to pass him off as your boyfriend," Harry said softly. Then he brightly added, "But don't worry! You'll have Harry Champ, a man destined to be king, here to cheer you up!"
"Oh that's it, now I _really_ got go out for a smoke," Brad shot up and left. Leena shared a similar expression.
"I think Leena should be left alone for a while," Bit said.
"Nonsense! If Harry can cheer her up, then by all means, let him," Doc reasoned.
"The best thing Harry can do to cheer me up is by leaving," Leena grumbled.
"Don't be silly, Leena darling, just leave it to me, Harry Champ, a man destined to be king!" Harry laughed. Leena and Bit groaned in unison.
The doctor finally walked out and called, "Doctor Tauros?"
"Yes?" Doc answered. Bit, Leena, Harry, Benjamin, and Sebastian followed Doc as he walked up to the doctor. The doctor had a grim look on his face.
"What is it?" Doc questioned.
"Will Jamie be all right?" Bit wondered. Leena didn't dare speak as the doctor's expression said it all.
"I'm afraid I have good news and bad news. The good news is, the x-rays revealed no skull damage to Jamie's head. As a matter of fact the only reaction from the blow was a bruise and nothing more."
"Then what's the bad news?" Doc asked tentatively. The doctor sighed.
"Through the x-rays we discovered something. Something dangerous."
"What?" Bit demanded. The doctor bit his lip.
"A tumor. Jamie has a tumor. And it has the potential to be deadly."
