- Cafeteria -

"Is Annie ok??"

"Yea, just asking whether are Billy and Trini doing OK?"

"Kim eat! You should've called me earlier you know.."

"I don't want to eat! I know I should've called you earlier, but you were busy in the afternoon when I called, after that you were at Tommy's celebrating, so…" "Speaking of that, why did you bring them here anyway?"

Jason shrugs. "Hey, I didn't invite them. But what's wrong with that." Kimberly glares at him. "Ok. Ok. I know, you're not ready to see them yet, but you'll have to meet them some time. And even know since they know that you're staying around." Kimberly just let out a sigh. "You know what? No matter what you do, the four of us will be right behind you."

"Thanks, Jason. I really needed the extra support."

"Now eat! By the way, how did you stand there outside the emergency room for so long? Where's you're…."

"I was sitting the whole time. It's under the bench. Erm.. Could you help me to bring it to the car? I don't want them to see it."

"Now Kim, you know that the" He was interrupted by Kimberly. "Please for your little sister! And I'll promise to finish this."

Jason knew he couldn't argue "Only this once. You wait here and finish your food and I'll come back down then we'll go see Trini and Billy." She just nodded.

"What are they doing here anyway?"

"They were coming back from dropping Annie at her friends place."

- Room 311 (Billy's room) –

"Hey Billy." Tommy said as he stood next to Kat who is on the chair next to Billy's bed.

Rocky then came in after checking their friend's condition from the nurse at the desk. "According to the nurse, he should be awake by tomorrow morning." "Are u guys going to stick around here until then?"

No one gave a respond, until Tommy said "Why don't you take Tanya home, Rocky." It was more of a statement than a question.

Tanya hesitated for a moment, but then agreed. Because she has the morning shift of the station and she couldn't do much by staying here. "But you're going to call me, understand." Katherine nods her head. Rocky and Tanya than got up to leave.

- Room 291 -

"Hey, girlfriend!" Aisha said as she sat down next to Trini's bed. She's actually very terrified for her predecessor.

Adam lay a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "According to these charts, she should be coming about anytime before morning." They sat there for a while in silence, praying for both their friends to awake soon, and were thankful that they didn't suffer serious injuries. Kimberly and Jason entered not long after that.

Aisha and Adam had their suspicions cleared as they saw the way their friend was trying to use her right leg and the way she was relying on Jason to walk. They were about to question her as Aisha gave Kimberly her place by the bed, but Jason made an excuse to leave, because he thinks Kimberly should settle this matter on her own.

"I'll go check on Billy."

After he left, Kimberly asks her friends. "Where are the others?"

"They're at Billy's ward." "What happened to your leg?" Aisha popped the question.

Kimberly knew there's no escaping this one. She answered. "U both must make sure not to tell anyone about this. Don't ask why. It'll be explained." "I swear Kim." "Cross my heart." followed Aisha.

Kimberly nodded and took a deep breath. "Well it was nothing really. I was crossing the road when and saw a little girl dash to the middle of it. The upcoming car couldn't break and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do, so I pushed her out of the way. The next thing I know, I wasn't able to do gymnastics ever since. Heck, I couldn't even walk properly. I've been balancing on one leg and leaning against objects for support."

* Well that was the truth. I did save a little girl from an upcoming car when she ran across the road. *

"Kim why didn't you…" Aisha asked after hearing her friends little tragedy in a sad almost close to crying tone, but was cut off by Kimberly's reply.

"That's why I didn't want you all to know. Ish, you guys were busy with your own lives, but if I told you, all of you will make a big fuss out of it. And I don't want your pity on this. It's just a little accident, I still can survive and am living very well now." She paused for a while. "You both must keep a promise. Don't tell the others ok?"

Aisha let out a sigh of agreement, while Adam just nodded. "But Kim, they're bound to know about it. It's kind of obvious, that's how me and Aisha know."

"That's why I need your help. Please!" she pleads her friends.

Aisha and Adam knew they were in to this and can't do anything about it. Aisha wasn't sure whether she should ask the question floating in her head, but it came out even before she knew it. "Kim, have you ever regretted it?" Kimberly just smiled and shook her head. There was silence in the room after that.

Adam finally broke the silence. "Will you all be staying here?"

"That's a question asked with an obvious answer Adam?" Kimberly replied. "How bout you?"

"My shift should be coming up next so I guess I'll be here till then." He continued after seeing Kimberly's puzzled expression. "I'm working as an ER doctor in this hospital. Coincidence isn't it."

"And I'll be staying with you Kim," Aisha continued. "We can also catch up on what has happened for the past years. I could also update you on the other's current state." Both girls grinned at the thought. It's been years since both of them had talked. This accident isn't all bad after all. The mood in the room was finally enlightened.

- Billy's ward -

"Hey buddy, Where's Rocky and Tanya?" Jason asked as he entered the room. It took him quite awhile to get to Billy's room, he was out in the garden for the past half an hour.

Tommy turned around to look at his friend and signaled him to quiet down. Katherine was wiped out after the day's event, and finally had shut her eyes for some rest after much persuasion.

"Hey Jase, Rocky took Tanya home. No point for so many of us crowding in this room. How's Kimberly?"

"She's pretty much better now. I left her with Aisha and Adam. You know how they get when acquainted after being separated for so long." He left out a soft chuckle hoping it could convince Tommy.

"Yeah! I understand. What are they doing in Angel Grove anyway?"

Remembering about what he had promised Kimberly. "I don't know how they ended up in Angel Grove and what are they doing here." * Hope I sound convincing. *

"Oh…." He was about to question further more but decided against it. * What benefit will Jason get by lying to me anyway? *

They sat there through the whole night, occasionally chatting until some where about 4 a.m. Billy started stirring. Jason immediately went for the doctors. Billy was mumbling something about Trini, but Tommy couldn't understand. He went and wakes Katherine and both stayed there waiting for the doctor. They made their way out of the room as the doctor arrived. Katherine left to make calls to Tanya and Rocky.

The doctor finally came out "Mr. Cranston is doing fine but because of the shock, he couldn't remember what happened during the accident. Other than that, he should be 100% well." "He needs to stay back for one more night for extra precaution. If nothing goes wrong, Mr. Cranston could leave tomorrow." 

After that, the doctor made his leave. The three of them re-enter the room and was greeted by Billy.

"Hey Jason, Tommy and Katherine.!"

"Hey Billy!" exclaimed Katherine cheerfully.

"Hey genius!" chuckled Tommy jokingly.

"Hey Blue-boy."

"Where's Trini guys?" Asked Billy who started to worry.

"Chill out. She's fine. She's still sleeping."
