Chapter 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brad awoke to the sound of soft snoring. The room was dark and his chest hurt like heck. 'Okay, who's snoring, why does my chest hurt and where am I?' he wondered silently. All he could remember was not feeling well, coughing and passing out. 'Oh yeah that's helpful info.' he grumbled to himself. There was enough light for him to make out three large forms on the edges of his bed. 'Wha?' he thought intelligently. He looked to his left and saw a lamp. He carefully reached over and grunted at the pain in his chest. After successfully turning on the lamp he looked down and grinned at what he saw. Leena, Bit and Jamie were all sleeping with their heads resting on the hospital bed. Still grinning he pulled out a camera, from who knows where, and took a few quick pictures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quickly tucking the camera away, he leaned over to Bit and whispered the word 'pizza' in his ear. Bit jumped up and ran into a wall, still 99.7% asleep. Brad started laughing uncontrollably, even though it made his chest feel like there were rocks in it. Of course this woke Jamie and Leena up. "Brad your awake!" Leena cried hugging him hard enough to crack a few ribs. "Uh, Leena, I don't think Brad can breathe." Jamie stated, wincing as he heard some bones break. "Oh sorry!" she said pulling back and grinning sheepishly. Brad then noticed that his hair wasn't hanging in his face like it usually was. A sudden thought occured to him. "They didn't cut my hair did they?" he asked them. "Nope they just pulled back into a ponytail" Jamie answered tugging on it. Brad reached back and felt it just to make sure it was there. Finding it he sighed and leaned back tired. He glanced over to where Leena was trying to pry Bit from the wall. He chuckled softly. Bit, having finally been pulled from the wall noticed Brad smirking. "That wasn't funny." he said pouting. This only made Brad laugh harder. "Brad calm down, you might hurt yourself!" Leena exclaimed, shooting a death glare at Bit who was still pouting. "Too late." Brad said calming down quickly. "So when can I leave?" he asked changing the subject. "I'll go check!" Bit said as he dashed out the door and away from Leena's death glare. A few minutes later he ran back in. "Brad, you can leave as soon as you feel up to it." Brad stared for a minute and began to get up. As soon as he started to stand everyone ran over to him and 'helped'. "ALRIGHT, GET AWAY FROM ME NOW!" Brad yelled, causing the three of them to back away. "I DONT NEED ANY HELP!" and with that being said he stormed out of the hospital. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Back at the Base*

"Hey Brad can I get you anything?" Bit asked. It had been 3 days since Brad had been released from the hospital. Bit had been asking the same question for an hour. "NO FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME! YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO BUG ME, CLOUD! Bit "eeped" and ran around the room with Brad in close pursuit. Leena watched in amusement as Bit knocked over the clothes that Jamie had been folding. "GUYS!" Jamie yelled out of frustration. This was the 4th time. Out of breath, Brad slumped against a wall. Everyone immediately assumed the worst. "Oh no not again!" Leena cried, as they all made a mad dash toward him. Seeing this Brad paled and ran out of the room toward his Shadow Fox. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
