Shay heard hushed voice, as she began to come back to consciousness.

"O shit, Rhythm what happened?" A voice she didn't recognized asked.

"Shh!" Rhythm said quickly "It was Blade. Sprockets found her." He said. Shay could hear the pain and the tiredness in his voice.

"Whats going on?" Shay asked, opening her eyes for the first time.

"Hey" Rhythm said sweetly, and began to brush the hair out of her face. "Your okay Shay, your back in Brooklyn, we'll take care of you here" He said with a smile Shay could tell was forced.

"I'm sorry" Shay whispered quietly

"For what?" Rhythm asked, moving from his chair to sit next to her on his bed.

"For Blink, for Parker, for not being a better friend, for making you take care of me so much…" Shays tears began to fall as her voice faded out.

"Shay, you don't have to apologize to me." Rhythm said, putting his arm around her shoulder and letting her cry into his shoulder.

"Yes I do" she sobbed "I have been so horrible to you!"

"Shay, you're the best 'ting that has happened to me in a long time." Rhythm said, lifting up her chin so she was looking him dead in the eye. "And besides now I get two Christmas presents!" He said, with a huge smile.

"What?" Shay asked, thoroughly confused.

"Well… you bought me the harmonica, and now you are in my bed." He said with a smirk.

"You perv" Shay laughed and playfully punched him in his shoulder.

Rhythm couldn't help him self. She turned and looked up at him, and he kissed her.

It was a huge surprise to Shay as well, but she didn't fight it. They kissed for what seemed like forever, until their happy little world came crashing down.

"Touch my sister again I'll kill you"
