Jenny wheeled her way through the hospital, trying to find her doctor. If she wasn't screaming for people to get out of her way, she would've injured the already hurt patients. She got to the doctors office out of breath. "Dr. Bradley!"

"Jenny," Dr. Bradley asked. "What was so important that you had to cause a fire hazard in the hallway? I was just about to go into your room!"

"I'm sorry," Jenny replied sheepishly. "But, guess what? Someone sat on my leg and I said –'ouch'! Isn't that great!"

"I know, that's why I was going into your room. Your injuries are healing properly, we decided to move you to the recovery center. We have a trainer-"

"A trainer," she asked, "What for?"

"To help you get used to your legs… again. You start tomorrow, congratulations. You know, it's not all the time that this happens. Consider yourself a lucky one." Dr. Bradley smiled, "Enjoy your day, Jenny."

"Thank you!"


The next day after rehabilitation, Jenny received crutches and started to feel the use of her legs again. Her parents were going out with Pete and Paul's parents so Jenny and Pete were babysitting Jessica.

"And the number of our cell phones are in the book," Michelle told Pete before leaving the house. "And there's twenty dollars on the fridge if you two are hungry. If we're not home by eleven, sleep on the couch!"

"Alright mom," Pete glared. Michelle loosened up and kissed him on the cheeks telling him to be a good boy. He wiped off her kiss quickly and shut the door. "Finally…"

Jenny smiled.

"Well you got more math homework," Pete said. "The substitute is really weird. He has blonde hair-"

"Oh yeah, how abnormal," She said, cutting him off.

"I'm not done. He always wears his shades and look outside because I don't see palm trees! When do you come back to school?"

"On Monday, joy."

"You seem excited," he commented. "Don't worry about it. Nothing bad is going to happen. And if something does, tell me."

Jenny didn't answer, she was too busy trying to get her sister to eat the spoonful of mashed peas. "Come on Jess, watch Petey eat it."

"Me," Pete exclaimed, "Why can't you!"

"What do you think I am," Jenny asked.

"What do you think I am," he repeated. After a couple of minutes of arguing, Pete agreed and put the spoon in his mouth. "I can't believe they make babies eat this shit." She glared at him for speaking profanity in front of her little sister. "I mean, it's yummy, Jess."

"See," Jenny asked Jessica, "Petey loves mashed peas. Come on, Jess, eat it please?" Jenny put the spoonful into her sister's mouth and the baby swallowed, with a look that wasn't satisfied.

Pete took the baby from her, "Come on, Jess. Eat the peas, eat the peas." He gave her a spoonful and she started to giggle. After she finished eating, Pete held her and sat on the couch.

"What," Jenny gasped, "Why does she like you? I'm her sister!" She leaned back more on the couch.

Pete leaned back next to her, playing with Jessica who seemed interested in him. "You know, she kind of looks like you. But a smaller and balder version." Jessica smacked Pete where Joe hit him and it started to hurt all over again.

"Jessica," Jenny gasped. She took her sister and lay her down in the carriage. "Come on, maybe you need aspirin." She took her crutches and he followed her into the kitchen. "Where do you keep-"

"It's in the cabinet closest to the stove." He pointed it out to her. "Here, I'll get it." He opened the capsule and ate it. They went back to watch Jessica and they all sat on the couch.

Jenny started to smile and soon her smile turned into laughter. It was his turn to glare at her, "I'm sorry, it was just funny that she slapped you."

A smile crept onto Pete's face as well. "It was pretty funny, huh?" They started to laugh some more and after a couple of minutes, the laughter subsided. "It hasn't been just the two of us in a long time, just hanging out."

"It isn't the two of us now," she added, she meant her sister. "But, you are right. Pete?"

"Yeah?" He moved closer to her.

She smiled, "Just ask me out."
