Over The Hedge: The Drama

by I'm Black and Proud

My first drama. I'm not that kind of guy who likes drama, but still. This is all made up. Some of the parts do not fit in with the movie. Rated M for use of the F word. This story is about when Hammy gets a disease and only has 3 days to live.

5. They Pronounce Hammy

The ambulance comes to Hammy's area. Ozzy opens the door, and the ambulance crew puts Hammy on a stretcher. They exit the area just as Hammy's mom and RJ come out to see what all the commotion was about. Once Hammy's mom sees Hammy on the stretcher, she faints. RJ, ignoring the woman at the moment, rushes to his best friend's side.

"What happened?" asked RJ, tears swelling in his eyes.

Before the ambulance crew could answer, Ozzy yelled, "RJ! Let the nice animal crew do their work!". This attracted the attention of RJ while the ambulance crew puts Hammy in the ambulance. As Hammy is pulled into the ambulance, Heather runs over. She tries to get on the ambulance, but is stopped.

"Who are you?" asked an ambulance member.

"I'm Heather, Hammy's girlfriend, and I want on, now!" said Heather, her anger growing.

"Okay, get on." said the ambulance member.

Heather gets on the ambulance and the ambulance member closes the door. They speed off to the hospital. Heather takes Hammy's hand in hers. It has a pulse, but it is ice cold.

"Doc, Hammy's hand is ice cold. (NOTE: see what I told ya?) Isn't there anything you can do about it?" asked Heather, concern present in her voice.

The ambulance doctor checks Hammy's hand, and confirms that it is indeed ice cold (NOTE: see?). The doctor also notices an irregularity in Hammy's pulse.

"Heather, unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. Furthermore, I'm sorry to inform you that…that…you friend is dying." said the ambulance doctor.

"No. Come on Hammy, don't move towards the light. Please, don't die!" said Heather, who is almost at the point of hysterics.

"Heather, please calm down!" said the ambulance doctor.

Heather calms down, but only a little. The ambulance doctor rechecks the pulse; there is none. The doctor gets out the EMT (?) machine.

"Stand back." said the ambulance doctor.

Heather takes a few steps back.

"Clear!" said the ambulance doctor.

The ambulance doc uses the machine on Hammy. Hammy bounces up once, and then falls back down. There is still no pulse, so the ambulance doc tries again. He keeps trying until they arrived at the hospital. They try 10 different things at the hospital. After about 1 hour, they pronounce Hammy... dead.

Ah, yes. The suspense begins...

Dun-dun-duuuuun!
