A/N: Thanks to my reviewers! I want to tell one of them, Nor, in particular thank you! I'm a HUGE Broadway Hairspray fan and it always bugged when when people said the movie was better than the show…no way! I've seen Hairspray 4 times on Broadway and was in the front row three of those times and its just the best show ever! So thank you Nor! As for your request…don't worry ;)

Disclaimer: Still don't own Hairspray…its depressing I know. LOL.

Chapter Two

Motormouth and Penny came back from the cafeteria while Tracy and Link were still in deep conversation about both of their friends. Tracy noticed that Penny was almost completely calmed down, a little shaken still, but much better than she was and that made Tracy very happy.

"Hey Penny, want to go for a walk? I know you just took one, but…?" Tracy asked her friend. Penny nodded and the two teenage girls walked around the third floor of the hospital.

Just as Tracy was about to start conversation Penny burst out of the feelings she had been holding in.

"Oh Tracy, this is my entire fault! If I had just seen that stupid car coming he wouldn't have had to jump in and save me! Or if I was just strong enough to carry him! I could have got him here sooner! Ugh! If I didn't want to race him to Miss Maybelle's shop, we wouldn't be here! If Amber wasn't such a … a…plastic little spastic, she could have even helped!" Penny said as though she were punishing herself. She spoke very quickly it was almost hard for Tracy to understand her.

"Penny! First off, calm down, none of this is your fault, the car would have been there anyway nothing could have prevented that! Secondly, what does Amber Von Tussle have to do with all of this?" she asked.

"Oh she's just horrible Tracy! She drove by in her brand new lime green car with Brenda and Shelley and they saw Seaweed on the floor and refused to help! I begged them and she said she didn't want to help him because he was smelly…or something like that! It's not fair!" Penny exclaimed. All she wanted was to see Seaweed again, know that he was alright.

"Don't worry about her right now Penny, it's not important," Tracy's mind told her otherwise though. Amber could have helped Seaweed! She wanted nothing more than to just punch the blonde into outer space with all the cooties she claims to have come from there. "Maybe you should go home for awhile. You know, get some rest because Penny," Tracy gave a chuckle and added, "you look horrendous right now".

Penny knew she was joking, as well as right. She hadn't seen herself yet but couldn't help but feel a mess.

"Gosh, how bad do I look? Be honest," Penny asked innocently.

Tracy giggled and said, "Well, you're glasses are all fogged up from your tears, your headband is about to fall out, and the hairspray is coming out from your curls so they're drooping a bit," Tracy said. Penny had actually cracked a genuine smile and both of them laughed together. Tracy led them to the bathroom and Penny washed up and Tracy managed to comb the curls out of her hair so it fell in loose waves and put the headband back where it belonged. She looked quite presentable.

The girls walked back toward the waiting area were they were before.

"Thanks for helping me Tracy, you're the best friend…ever!" she finished happily.

"Aw, Penny anytime, you've been there for me plenty of times. Heck, you even came to watch me audition for the Corny Collins Show, now that's a true friend," Tracy smiled.

"Well, yeah I guess so but…" she stopped dead in her tracks. Tracy followed her gaze and saw a doctor talking to Motormouth and Link.

"Penny come on! He's probably got news about Seaweed!" she said grabbing Penny's arm but Penny wouldn't budge. "Come on," Tracy said.

"No! I can't! Tracy what if it's bad news? I- I won't be able to live!" Penny said starting to cry again.

Tracy looked at her friend right in the eyes.

"Penny Lou Pingleton, this is your boyfriend! He cares so much about you and I know you care so much about him! It would kill Seaweed if he knew you didn't want to find out how he was. You're his "baby" remember? He's gonna want to see you first too, I bet, when he wakes up!" Tracy said, trying to get the message across that they need to find out what the doctor was talking about.

Penny nodded and both girls jogged to the doctor, Motormouth, and Link.

They arrived to Motormouth saying "Thank you, doctor," and the doctor walking away.

"Oh Miss Maybelle! What happened? Is he gonna be okay? What's going on?" Penny asked so many questions at once she caused Motormouth to laugh at her.

"Darlin' he's just fine. He's only got one tiny broken rib, but he'll make a full recovery. The doctor said he should be waking up any minute now so if we want to go visit him we should get ready, but only one at a time. I think you should be first Penny," Motormouth said.

"Oh, no Miss Maybelle! He's your son! He'd want to see you first before me! I know it! He wouldn't want to wake up to me, the person who put him in this place anways," Penny frowned.

"You look at me honey, my baby loves you. Now if you want I'll go in first but promise me you'll go in right when I'm finished alright?" she asked.

"Okay," was all Penny managed to say. With that, Motormouth went in her son's room, closed the door and left Penny, Tracy, and Link waiting.

Seaweed's Hospital Room

Motormouth got inside just as her son woke up.

"Hi baby," she said softly.

"Mama…" Seaweed said as he opened his eyes.

"You sure cause a lot of trouble for a whole lot of people, had us all scared, but none more then-"

Seaweed cut her off and finished her sentence.

"Penny," he said.

"That's right. Baby you got one loyal, yet frantic girl on your hands. It's been quite a few hours since this all happened and she hasn't stopped worrying about you, even with Tracy and Link and your Mama trying to calm her down," she said. Seaweed closed his eyes, he felt guilty for making her feel this way. But Motormouth continued. "Now, tell me what exactly happened," she asked.

"Well, all I remember is we were on our way to the record shop and she decided to race me there and so I started running and she crossed the street just as this car was coming speeding down the road. Mama, I was never more scared in my life. I thought if I waited one more second the car would have struck her! And it probably would have! So I ran and pushed her out of the way, next thing I know I wake up and your sitting here with me," he finished and put a smile on his face.

He and Motormouth chatted for another good fifteen minutes.

Motormouth left the room and told Penny she could go in.

"Go ahead honey, he's just dandy and he cannot wait to see your face. He's not on the first bed, he's behind the curtain," she said. She stood up and walked into Seaweed's room.

Penny was only half listening, she just wanted to see Seaweed. She didn't hear the part about the curtain and how Seaweed was behind it.

She walked in and saw an old woman laying there with tubes all around her. Penny gave a scream and woke the old woman up. "Seaweed! What happened to you?"

Then she heard an all too familiar laugh and heard Seaweed's voice "Over here baby,".

Penny apologized to the old woman and walked around the curtain to see her boy, her Seaweed.

"Hiya baby," he said, and he gave her the brightest smile she had ever seen.
