"Oh, you're getting better and better every minute." Arnold told Helga.
"Well, you're one good teacher!" she said to him with a smile.
They were playing one-on-one, suddenly, they both stumble down the floor. They had a moment there. They stared in each other's eyes and it lasted for several seconds. But then, when they went back to their consciousness they hurriedly stood up as is nothing happened. Unexpectedly, they saw Lila and Stinky coming. The two went up to them.
"Arnold, Helga, can we talk?" Lila asked them.
Arnold and Lila looked at each other; they didn't say a word.
"We know that you two hate us so much because of what we have done to you. We lied and we broke your trust. And much worst, we broke the friendship we have been taking care of for a very long time. We are really sorry." Lila said with tears flowing from her eyes.
"Yes, we're really sorry. Especially to you Helga, I'm really sorry. I loved you. But I guess, we're not really destined to be with each other. You deserve someone better than me. Someone who'll never lie to you, someone who'll never break your heart. Please forgive us." Stinky pleaded.
Arnold said, "Yes. You're both right. You've cause so much pain. You hurt us so badly. I forgive you already, but don't expect that everything will turnout the way they used to be. There will be some changes. Let's take it from the very start. Help us to gain trust in you again."
"Arnold's right. Let's start all over again. Let's not waste the beautiful friendship we have." Helga added.

Phoebe, with Gerald and her parents went to the hospital. The doctor did some tests. They have to stay in the hospital for several more days because Phoebe needs to undergo more tests. One day, the results came.
"Phoebe, the results are finally here." The doctor said upon entering the room.
They all stared at the doctor.
"You have abnormal reduction in the number of erythrocytes. There is severe reduction in your red blood corpuscles, your bone marrow is unable to regenerate them." the doctor explained.
"What do you mean doc?" asked Phoebe's mother.
"Phoebe, you have an Aplastic anaemia. You need to have blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants for your treatment."
"Blood transfusions? Bone marrow transplant?" asked Phoebe.
"Yes Phoebe. You have to undergo all those treatment for you to survive. You need to find a donor that would suit your blood and bone marrow as soon as possible."
"Where can we find donors?" Phoebe asked hopelessly.
"I and Phoebe are of the same blood type but, I can't undergo such because I too have a weak body. It would not be that good right?" said her mom.
"My blood type is B. What's Phoebe's?" ask Gerald.
"B. You both have the same blood type." said her mom.
"I'm willing to be a blood donor." presented Gerald.
"Well then, young man, let's go to the laboratory to see if you're fitted to be a donor. Let's also take test if your bone marrow matches hers. Follow me." said the doctor.
After the tests, Gerald called Arnold.
