Note: Sorry, trying to get caught up with everything… I believe there's 2 votes in the positive. C'mon people… vote! Sorry it's late, really busy, "Christmas". I doubt I'll be able to post next week.

Oh and before I forget, Kat and Ulrich do not like each other, she was using references.

­­­­­"You should be getting your first case soon," Jeremie told Ulrich over the phone as Aelita said the same to Kat.

Kat hung her head, "Sorry," she mumbled.

"For what?" Aelita asked, "Visiting your friend?"

Ulrich gave a weak smile, "It's not your fault."

The female doctor came in, hair still in it's high ponytail. Kat and Ulrich said their good-byes and turned to talk to the nurse. She smiled weekly at them, "The entire Hospital's under quarantine, we ask you please remain in this room until the end of it, I shal remain in here and someone has called for your friend, he will be here momentarily unless he's contaminated, in the event someone becomes infected they will be transported to a designated area, doctors are already searching for a cure and if you have any information that might prove it's self valuable, now is the time to speak." The doctor sighed and went to check on Yumi.

Kat blinked, she blinked again, again. Ulrich raised an eyebrow in silent question, Kat blinked. She opened her mouth to speak, and then closed it again, she turned on the TV and opened her mouth again, shortly after she closed it, she turned the TV off. By now the doctor and Ulrich were watching her.

"Sorry about that, I lost my voice for a bit," Kat's voice was soft, "Too much yelling on my part, I guess." Kat shrugged, she continued, her voice clearer, "So, if you're going to be waiting this out with us, what's your name and how long do you estimate we'll be staying here?" Kat smiled and Ulrich gently moved Kat so she was facing the doctor.

The doctor smiled, "Well you can call me Galadriel, and the doctors estimate a month, or so, don't worry we have food."

"Now Galadriel, there are three floors of this place with approximately two-hundred rooms on each, are you telling me there's a doctor in each?" Kat asked.

"Nope," Galadriel knocked on the door that originally was thought a closet, a blonde nurse's head poke through the now open door, "Isabella, this is Kat, Ulrich and Yumi, kids, this is Isabella," Isabella smiled her greetings, "Isabella is in charge of rationing our food," Galadriel explained, "While Scott is our 'capcom', there is one doctor and nine nurses for every ten rooms, anyone with a degree is counted, heck, we've got a ten-year-old in one room."

Isabella smiled, "Food will be brought, three meals, and a snack, if necessary," A small brunette poked her head through the door.

"Galadriel, it's Scott, he will not shut up, can you give me permission to slap him?" The girl looked up, "Please?"

Galadriel smiled, "This is Laura, the ten-year-old I was mentioning earlier, we were short on nurses and her parents both are doctors, she's got basic training," Laura waved and then promptly returned to giving Galadriel puppy-eyes, "Tell him, if he doesn't shut up, I will give you permission." Laura smiled like a child on Christmas morning, then left.

Kat smiled, "Charming girl."

"Very, some time we'll introduce the entire group, being as we'll be here a while, to each other, patients and doctors alike, nurses too."

Isabella nodded, "That's all nice but, can I go now?"

"Go ahead," Galadriel smiled and shut the door behind her friend.

Kat looked at Galadriel, she was really short, Kat was actually looking down at her. The young doctor's brown hair gently cascaded down her back, threatening to touch the ground; her blue eyes almost seemed to read minds. Ulrich had turned on the TV, he was channel surfing and not liking what was on.

Kat thought to herself for a moment, One doctor, nine nurses, and assuming three patients and or friends and family in a room, forty people in ten rooms, she shook her head at the numbers.

Note: well, people, Christmas break is coming upon us… and I'm not going to be near my computer for it, so, most likely, you won't be seeing an update.
