Cassie Fraiser walked into the room and immediately missed the usual mental greeting her friend usually greeted her with. Cassi was sitting up in bed, coloring. The crayons slipped across the page, oblivious of the pre ordained lines. Janet came up behind her daughter.
"You have to talk to her as if she were a child" she warned her, "And she still can't speak to well" Cassie nodded and advanced.
"Hi" she said slowly. Her friend raised her head and squinted at her.
"Who?" she asked. She even sounded retarded.
"Fray, remember?" Cassie replied, pulling a chair up to the bed and sitting.
"Fray, shopping" Cass replied.
"That' right" Fray smiled, "I came to visit"
"Visit, good" Cass said, putting her crayon back in the box. It took her a couple of tries.
"You hear happen me?"
"Yes, I heard what happened to you" Fray answered.
"Crazy now" Cass laughed, "No change big!" Fray laughed with her friend, torn up inside at what had become of her.
"My mom's trying to help you" she said.
"Mom?" Cassi looked around the room, "Lunch?" She sounded confused.
"No, *my* mom" Cass still didn't understand.
"Fraise? Doctor Fraiser?" she tried.
"Doctor. Doctor help. Doctor good." Cassi chanted.
"That's right" Fray replied. She just looked at her friend for a moment, saying nothing.
"I brought a game" She suddenly remembered she'd brought "Memory". Her mother had suggested it. She hoped it would help Cassi excercise her memory, maybe remember more of her speech skills. Fray sat the game up on Cassi's table and told her what to do. But Cassi got agravated quickly because she couldn't remember which picture she'd seen where. Janet had prepared for this too and had sent alphabet blocks with her daughter. Cassie pulled them out.
"Cassi, Cassi, look! This is 'A' " she said, showing her friend the block.
" A!" Cassi repeated, "A! A! A! A! B!"
"That's right!" Fray replied and pulled out the "C".
"What's this one?" Cassi cocked her head.
"D? K?" she tried again. She tried other letters for a while until Jack came in.
"Walk time!" she announced, clapping her hands together, "Dad! Dad! Walk time!"
"That's right" Jack said with a sad smile. Fray watched as he helped his daughter out of bed, which wasn't easy, and had to support her as she started to walk, very, very slowly.
"Come on, Cass" he encouraged, "Daniel's waiting in the room to read you a story"
"Dan-ny, Dan-ny! Story!" Cassi said gleefully, "Fray come?"
"Yep, coem on Cassie, we're going to go hear a story" Jack said and Cassie followed behind them. She watched painfully as her friend made her way down the all, one step at a time. It took nearly ten minutes to get three doors down to where Daniel was waiting, a picture book in his hands.
"Yay, you made it!" He tried to say it enthusiasticaly, but Cassie could tell he was disgusted by the situation. Cassi hadn't caught on though because she clapped and laughed.
"Dad, help Cass!" she replied, "Fray come too!"
"Alright, sit down!" Daniel motioned to the blanket at his feet and Jack helped his daughter down. Cassie sat down too and let a single tear drop as Daniel began to read.
