Summery: I'm back!
Part 9"Dil where are you going?" Didi Pickles asked her youngest son, stopping Dil in his tracks.
"I have to see whether Tommy's alright," Dil said determinedly.
"You can't go out there, it's too dangerous" Didi said shaking her head.
"I have to Mum, he's my brother and your son."
"But you're my son too" Didi pointed out.
"Mum I have to do this, as Tommy's always said 'I've gotta do what I've gotta do' and what I've gotta do is to save my big brother" Didi looked as though she was about to protest and Dil looked down trying to think of something else. When she didn't say anything for a moment Dil looked up and saw that Didi was nodding her head with tears in her eyes.
"Just bring him back safe and sound" Dil nodded. He was going to do just that.
"Chuckie" Samantha said wearily.
"Sam! I've been so worried" Chuckie said honestly.
"What else is new?" Samantha said with a small giggle she then winced.
"Don't worry Sam I'll get you out of here" Chuckie said determinedly
"Lil you and Kimi try and find a working phone, I'll go in and try and find Tommy" Phil then decided. Lilly nodded while Kimi stood still.
"Come on Kimi" Lilly coached Kimi into moving. Kimi slowly followed Lilly while Phil ran into the building.
"Angel you'll be alright" Timmy told Angelica getting most of the rubble off her.
"Timmy… I… love… you…." Angelica managed to get out.
"I love you too, just what ever you do don't close your eyes" Timmy urged.
"Do you remember our first date?" Timmy nodded, glad that Angelica was still talking.
"What about when I first asked you out?"
"You asked me? I asked you" Angelica pointed out.
"Oh yeah… I was about to!"
"No you weren't."
"Yes I was"
"Sure, Sure"
"Now that's the Angelica I know and love," Timmy teased.
It was Fifth Grade and Angelica Pickles was nervous. Why? Because she had been dared to asked Timothy McNutty on a date she had accepted the dare of course- Angelica C Pickles never turned anything challenging down, not with her cousins and there little friends, not with Suzi. No one. She was asking out her arch nemesis because of a dare. Suddenly she ran into him- literally.
"Hey Timmy,"
"Hey Angelica," Timmy responded with what seemed like ease at the time. Angelica took a deep breath.
"Timmywouldyouliketogotothemovieswithme?" Angelica asked.
"Huh?" Timmy looked confused.
"Would you like to go to the movies with me?" Angelica asked again.
"Um… sure…" Angelica wanted to scream with joy, "Angelica?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you get off me?" Angelica reddened.
"Su..re…"
"I'll get dad to pick you up at 4 on Saturday okay?"
Timmy suggested.
"Yeah that's fine, how about you give me your number and I'll ring you to sort
it out?" Angelica said shyly. Timmy nodded.
"Yeah that's cool" The then each went there sperate ways not knowing that it was going to start a lasting relationship.
"Tommy where are you?" Phil yelled out praying for a reply from his childhood friend.
"Come on Tomster who's going to cause trouble if you're not around?" Phil tried again. He needed his friend. He needed all of his friends. He couldn't imagine without being with them.
"TOMMY!!!!" Phil yelled again.
Dil finally got to the movie theatre and spotted Lilly and Kimi outside, but no sign of Phil or his brother. Why weren't they there?
"Dil!" Lilly yelled giving him a hug. Kimi just stayed almost motionless.
"Is Kimi alright?" Dil asked Lilly.
"I think she's just in shock."
"Oh…" Suddenly Dil remembered why he was there, "Where's Tommy?"
"He's in…" Lilly couldn't finish her sentence but looked in the building.
"He can't be"
"He is" Kimi finally spoke. Dil ran into the building with out a second thought.
"TOMMY COME ON!" Dil could hear Phil calling his brothers name.
"Phil!" Dil yelled getting his attention, "any sign of him?" Phil shook his head and Dil started calling Tommy's name.
Tommy could hear Phil and his brother loud and clear. He just couldn't answer them. Tommy had been drifting in and out of consciousness since the earthquake had struck. He sighed as the world grew black once more.
