a/n: I left you in suspense there, but you wanna know more, if not why are you reading this!

Chase strolled through the corridor, then he started thinking about the last time he visited.

Flashback

"Chase, come quick! The baby's here!" his dad shouted.

Chase ran to the room his mom and dad were in. His mom had the baby in her arms but it didn't look right. He was only ten at the time.

The midwife looked at the child and said "Excuse me can I talk to the father out-side."

"OK!" his father said

The midwife took him out-side. Chase heard his dad let out one long "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Then she came back in and Chase was told to leave the room. Then when he came back in the room the baby, who by the way was a girl, was hooked up to machines.

"What's wrong with her?" he asked.

"Turns out her legs are in a funny position, and because she's a premature baby she can't handle the pain so she has to survive off machines." explained the nurse.

End Flashback

The baby died later that day. He'd never gotten over it, that's why he hates hospitals.

By the time he got to the others he was in tears. Michael pulled him aside, he was the only one who knew.

"Is this all about that time or Dustin or both?" Michael asked.

"That time!" sobbed Chase.

"Leave the subject! I'm sorry about it, you know I am, but you gotta pull yourself together for Dustin and Zoey!" whispered Michael.

"Dustin and Zoey, something I was suppose to say!" Chase said slowly, then he remembered, "That's it! Dustin wants you all in there with him!" he called to everyone.

They all followed Chase into the emergency room to find Dustin in a wheel-chair.

"We have to take him to the Darwin-Jones ward.(a/n:couldn't think of anything else!) We need this room for someone else. So if you'd all like to follow me we'll go there now!" the nurse said kindly.

So they trooped through the hospital. Quinn and Adam were yet again speaking in science geek, Maddy and Michael were telling jokes, but the laughter was weak, Nicole and Paul were holding hands but they were thinking intensely, Zoey was hanging onto Chase while Chase was crying into her hair, Rachael was talking to Dustin while he formed what looked like a smile, Dana and Logan were walking separately thinking about what happen next. Will everyone's relationship get through this tough one? What will happen to Dustin? That's all Logan could think of and he's the self centered one. Dana on the other hand just kept thinking about Zoey and Dustin, then Chase.

When they got to the ward Dustin was asleep, Zoey and Chase were both half-asleep, Logan and Dana had moved together and Logan was sniffing lovingly at Dana's hair, Maddy and Michael had stopped the stupid jokes and were now holding hands but not saying anything, Adam and Quinn were still speaking geek, Nicole and Paul were still holding hands too but they were talking to each other about Dustin and Rachael and Rachael was walking beside Dustin.

"Here we are!" said the nurse.

"Can we stay awhile?" pleaded Rachael.

"Yes, of course!" boomed the nurse, "Now Dustin, wake up!"

"Moo, issss te egly!" Dustin groaned as he woke up, then he realised where he was and grunted.

"Right time to get into bed!" said Zoey kindly.

When Dustin was all settled down in bed he looked round for Zoey, Rachael and his other friends, all he could see was them all asleep on the floor, except Chase who was sitting in the chair hugging his knees.

"Chase?" Dustin managed to ask.

"I'm here!" replied Chase, "Wait you can talk!"

"Wrong?" Dustin asked.

"Well hospitals bring back bad memories!"

"Why?"

"I lost my baby sister when I was ten!"

"Oh!"

"I loved the idea of having someone else to love, but it just didn't work!"

"Who else?"

"Just Michael here!"

"Sorry!"

"I don't wanna talk about it anymore!"

Then Mr Bender walked into the ward

"Well I've gotta go now! I'll pick you up tomorrow at one!" he said.

"What about class?" asked Chase.

"I'll explain and you'll be excused!" said Mr Bender, "You get some rest!"

"Thanks! Bye!" whispered Chase.

"Bye!" grumbled Dustin.

"Bye!" whispered Mr Bender, then he walked away.

Then Chase and Dustin felt themselves drifting to sleep.

When Zoey woke up she saw Dustin curled up in bed with his leg in a sling, Chase was strewn out on the chair, Quinn had her head on Adam's chest, Paul was lying on his back with his left arm round Rachael and his right round Nicole, Logan had his arms round Dana and Dana had her arms round Logan and Maddy and Michael had their backs to each other. Then she glanced at her watch.

"Oh no! We're late! Chase, Michael, Maddy, Nicole, Paul, Rachael, Dana and Logan! We're late!" she cried.

None of them woke up, but Dustin did.

"No, class! Bender say!" he grumbled.

"What no class because Mr Bender said we could stay?" Zoey asked him.

Dustin just nodded his head.

"Oh Dustin, you don't know how much we worried!" cried Zoey, "I was in tears, so was Rachael! It was funny though, when I phoned Logan because he'd gone off with Dana and they came running. When Logan got to the beach he collapsed beside you, but at least he wasn't panicking because he remembered the recovery position!"

Dustin managed a laugh, "Zo, I love you!"

"I love you too, Dustin!"

"Chase love you!"

"And I love him!"

"He hate hospitals!"

"It certainly looks like that!"

"Reason! Sister!"

"But he has no sister or brother!"

"Exactly!"

"Oh! He lost his baby sister while she was still in hospital! That's terrible!"

"I know! Don't say!"

"I won't! You know me!"

"Yes!" then Dustin went back to sleep.

When everyone except Dustin was awake they started talking.

"Rachael, he's talking better." Zoey said comfortingly.

"He is that's great!" cried Rachael.

"Yeah I was talking to him earlier this morning! He was actually almost speaking in sentences!" said Zoey, quickly glancing at the clock, it was quarter to one, "Chase do you know what time Mr Bender's gonna picking us up?"

"Ummmm! One, I think!" stuttered Chase, not quite ready to wake up yet.

"We are here for another fifteen minutes, we better wake Dustin up to talk to before we go." sighed Zoey, "Dustin, wake up!"

"Mom, go away!" moaned Dustin.

"Mom's at home, Dustin! You haven't seen her for ages! We're about to go, well when Mr Bender comes anyway!" called Zoey softly.

"Zoey, I love you,but I'm trying to sleep!" Dustin moaned.

"Your talking proper in sentences! That's great!" cried Zoey and Rachael.

"I am! Good, now let me sleep!" Dustin snapped.

"Dustin we're about to leave when Mr Bender comes and all you want to do is sleep, well you could do that when we're gone!" cried Rachael, getting frustrated because he wouldn't talk to her, "If you're not gonna talk to me I wont ever talk to you, but that wouldn't mean we were over!"

"Alright! I'm awake! Come over and kiss me!" then Dustin realized who was in the room, "And the rest of you can look away!"

"You know what, as soon as your leg's better you can come to my house, because it will be the summer!" whispered Rachael in Dustin's ear.

"Right!" he whispered back, then he shouted, "You can look back now!"

Everyone sighed then span round.

"So has the prince doing?" asked the nurse, who came bounding round the corner.

"Who are you calling the prince?" Dustin replied cheekily.

"Oh, so you're all better now are you?" asked the nurse, just as cheekily.

"Except for a broken leg, yeah I'm fine, thanks!" Dustin answered back happily.

"And your using full sentences now! I think you can go back to PCA today with your friends and sister!" exclaimed the nurse.

"I can! Whoopee!" cried Dustin.

When Mr Bender arrived he went to talk to the nurse. When he had finished he was followed by the nurse who was pushing a wheel-chair.

"Well Dustin, you're coming back with us!" announced Mr Bender.

"YES!" screamed Dustin.

"Calm down! Now you're to come back next week for a check up!" said the nurse soothingly.

"Dustin's coming home!" cried Rachael.

"Yes, the little dude's gonna be alright!" whooped Michael.

"Alright, ready to go?" asked Mr Bender.

"YES!" replied the group.

When they got back to PCA everyone except Dustin had to go back to class.

"See ya later!" called Dustin as Mr Bender wheeled him back to his room.

"You take it easy, man!" shouted Michael as he ran in the other direction.

"Bye!" the rest called as they ran after him.

"Well he's all better!" sang Rachael, then she skipped down the hall, while

the others turned right and went into their class.

"Hello children!" said Mrs Flak kindly, "Please sit in your seats!"

"How come they haven't been here all day?" asked Vikki snobbishly.

"Family emergency!" Chase blurted out, "Well sort of!"

"Right settle down! And get on with your work!"

After their lessons they went back to room 101.

"What an eventful day!" Rachael sighed.

"Yes, it has, but not as much yesterday!" Zoey breathed.

"Uh huh!" Logan agreed, "I mean Adam and Quinn got together, so did Michael and Maddy, Nicole and Paul and me and Dana. Then Dustin had his fall."

"But maybe it was to signify the start of our new lives!" Dana added.

"You know what you maybe right!" exclaimed Zoey then she gave everyone a glass of cherryade, "To new beginnings!"

"To new beginnings!" everyone cried.

When the boys had to go back to their dorm the girls, except Maddy and Nicole, went to dinner. So in room 101 it was just Nicole and Maddy.

"So Nicole do you still feel the way you did yesterday?" Maddy asked casually.

"I really don't know I haven't given it another thought since after Dana and Logan. I don't know! I think I love Paul! But I really don't know! I'm just so confused!" Nicole sighed, then she flopped back on her bed, "How did you feel when you first discovered?"

"I was so confused, but then I started thinking it was OK because there are other girls like me and maybe you are too."

"I just don't know!"

Meanwhile in the boys dormitories, Logan was lying on his bed dreaming about Dana, Chase was watching the clouds drift by, while Michael, Adam, Paul and Dustin, who had been moved in with Chase, Michael ad Logan's room by Mr Bender, were talking about how beautiful their girls were.

"Well Rachael's so beautiful, I can't believe I never talked to her till two months!" said Dustin happily.

"I agree my sister's cute but you obviously haven't seen Nicole lately!" exclaimed Paul.

"Well Quinn doesn't need to be beautiful, she has brains, but she is cute!" Adam called.

"Maddy is just perfect, too perfect!" Michael said dreamily.

"You know what, I thi..." Dustin started to say then dropped off.

"Dustin!" cried Michael, "Dustin, answer me!"

At the cafeteria Dana, Quinn, Rachael and Zoey were finished their dinner and were heading back to their dorm.

"Do you think Nicole's hiding something?" asked Zoey.

"I don't know!" replied Quinn.

"Me either!" answered Rachael.

"Well she definitely has something to hide!" cried Dana, they all stared at her, "You've seen her, she's all shifty!"

"Hmmmmm! I wonder what could it be?" Zoey stammered.

They walked round the corner, then opened the door. They couldn't believe their eyes. What they saw was freaking them out.

Back in the dorm about five minutes ago Maddy and Nicole were sitting on the sofa together.

"So do you feel like you did yesterday?" Maddy asked again.

"I really don't know!" cried Nicole.

"Do you wanna find out then?" Maddy called then lent forward.

Back in the Boys dorm Michael was still trying to see how Dustin was.

"Dustin, please answer me!" Michael started to scream, "OK! Chase go and get Mr Bender! I'll go and get Zoey! Logan!" Logan didn't answer, he was too busy looking at the ceiling, "You just look at the roof! The rest of you stay with Dustin!"

Then he ran out the room he ran all the way to room 101 where he found Dana, Zoey, Quinn and Rachael staring into the room. He touched Zoey on the shoulder, she turned round to reveal Nicole and Maddy kissing. He stood there staring for a minute or two. Then he turned to face Zoey.

"Dustin, he just stopped talking, stopped moving, he didn't respond!" shouted Michael.

"What?" Zoey screamed, then she ran out of the room all the way to the boys dorm.

But Michael stayed there, by this time Maddy and Nicole had broken apart and Nicole had run out of the room. Michael looked at Maddy and Maddy looked back at him. The others took this as their cue to exit.
