Emma woke up to the loud buzzing of her alarm clock.

"Damn!" She mumbled.

Emma finally dragged herself out of bed. She was up late last night again. She was glad Snake's chemo was working, but she just wish it didn't effect her as much as it did. Her school work was really starting to suffer as well. Last night when Marco and Dylan helped watch Jack, she caught up on her sleep. If only Jack was old enough to take care of himself. Emma ran down the stairs, to go to school. If she didn't hurry she was gonig to be late.

"Hey." Jimmy kissed her as she got to school.

"Hey back." She smiled.

"My parents are out this weekend, you wanna come over?"

"You bet!" "Oh...but I'll have to double check Snake's chemo schedule."

"Aight, even if it's for like five minutes, I wanna see you." He kissed her and ran off to class.

After school Emma ran home to check Snake's chemo schedule.

"Damn!" She shouted as the phone rang.

"Em? It's Marco."

"Hey."

"What's up, you don't sound to happy."

"Jimmy's parents are gonig to be gone this weekene, and he wanted me to come over, but ...Snake's got chemo as always."

"If you're parents'll let me, I'll watch Jack."

"No Marco, I couldn't impose."

"You're not imposing, I volunteered."

"Are you sure."

"Yes, ask your mom."

Emma put the phone down and ran off to Spike.

"She said okay." Emma grinned.

"Great!"

"Snake's chemo is Saturday from two-thirty to six. I don't know what time I'll be home, or even whta time I'll leave."

"So I'll just come over at two-thirty."

"Marco, did I ever tell you how great you are?"

"No, tell me again?" Marco giggled.

"Now you're being ridiculous."

"Whatever, I'll see you later." Marco smiled.

Emma hung up. She was so happy to have the friends she did. When Saturday finally rolled around, Emma waited for Marco to show up and she ran off to Jimmy's. As she was walking over there, she ran into a familiar face.

"Chris!" She said surprised.

"Hey." He said, and just continued walking.

That was weird, Emma thought. Chris always had something more to say, maybe he was in ahurry. Emma dismissed the whole thing and walked up to Jimmy's door.

"Hey!" He smiled as he opened the door.

"Hi!" She kissed him.

"How'd you get out of Jack-duty?"

"Marco offered to do it. Isn't he great?" Emma smiled.

"He's certainly something else."

Emma smiled Marco was a great friend, one she was lucky to have.
