Boy you left your footprints on my heart

Bubbles sat down on her office chair, and heaved a big sigh. For the first time ever Bubbles was actually mad, while work. Normally she would be calm, no big, but it's hard not to blow your top, when you have a straight up, sarcastic and very cold patient. Usually her patients would cooperate, obviously because they wanted to solve their problems, but this time…it was different.

"Now Boomer, lets try this one more time…" she pleaded, trying not to sigh.

"You're really annoying, you know that right? I don't want no help from you!" he replied in the usual rude manner.

"We need to change that rude behavior; I know that somewhere in your life something has happened, you're not telling me. Boomer, you need to trust me, I'm your friend, and you can let out all that's cooped up OK?" Bubbles asked putting her hand on his, very gently, by now she had figured out that he didn't like to be touched much.

He replied by smirking, and blowing his hair in the air, like a little kid. Bubbles couldn't help it as she got up headed for the nearest wall and started hitting her head on it.

"You should really hit it harder. You know that right?" Boomer said, clearly not being sarcastic this time.

"I give up…" she said while walking back to her chair and slumping down.

Boomer smiled to him self, very satisfied. "I told you I never loose" he said in a "I'm a big show of" tone.

Bubbles smiled. "I know I never give up either, so starting from today, you will have daily sessions with me Boomer!! I'm sure that this is a start of a great friendship!"

He groaned. "God woman, don't you ever just…ugh never mind" he said.

"What are you having for dinner Boomer?" asked Bubbles, Boomer cocked an eyebrow, she couldn't help but think that every time she said a sentence, he would carefully analyze it and then reply.

"The same old hospital food….do you guys put raw bones in that food, come on don't lie to me I already know" he said, Bubbles just shook her head.

"It is healthy and good for you OK? It has all the vitamins, fiber and calcium! Sometimes, it's good to get a change though, and on that note, would you like to have dinner with me?" she asked.

Once again, for a second he looked like he was analyzing what she just said and then he cocked an eyebrow and said. "Is it free, or do I gotta pay, 'cuz I got no money on me..."

"No, no, I'll pay Boomer." She said cheerfully. He nodded his head and got up, dragging his feet and walking out of the room.

"Wow, ya look sad…I know it's not me this time" Boomer said suddenly, causing Bubbles to get out of her sad zone.

"Oh it's nothing…where would you like to eat?" she asked forcefully putting on a smile.

"You tell me why ya forcing on a scary smile, and I'll tell you where we eat" he said in a casual tone. Bubbles bit her lip.

"Um…it's my birthday and none of my sisters wished me a happy birthday, and then my father didn't even call, and the only people who remembered, were my boss and Marie…" she said sighing.

Boomer nodded, as if he knew how that felt. They both got out of the hospital and Bubbles finally asked. "Where do you want to eat?" she asked.

"Wherever the path takes us" he said pointing to the footpath. Bubbles couldn't help but smile. She nodded and they started the walk, Bubbles couldn't help but feel that she fit in with the guy somehow, although he was rude, sarcastic and cold, he made her feel better at the same time, somehow, he did something…she didn't know and couldn't care less.

"So Boomer how old are you?" she asked noticing that he was way taller then her.

"I'm…wait…I ain't tellin' you!" he said, Bubbles sighed, she knew he was going to say that, why even bother.

"Are you…18? 17? 2? 4? 15?" she asked wildly guessing, but once she realized all the weird number she had said, she couldn't help but laugh. Boomer just rubbed his head and rolled his eyes.

"Do you know just how weird those guesses were" he said sarcastically.

Bubbles shrugged and felt silly so as she normally would do she expressed it. Bubbles started skipping down the road and started singing all the songs she knew. Boomer walked behind her in his laid back way, hands in his pocket and a winter cap on his head. If anyone saw them they would probably think, yin and yan, optimist and pessimist, dull and cheery, but one thing common was that neither could exist without the other.

Finally they saw a small shop and entered it, Bubbles asked for a juice, and a pastery, where as Boomer asked for fries and soda.

"How old are you today?" he asked

"I'm 20, yay!!" she said honestly happy.

"Wait for me here okay?" he said, Bubbles nodded and sat on her chair, about a minute later Boomer was back. He casually opened his palm and it had 5 pieces of candy in it, they were all beautifully wrapped.

"Happy Birthday…" he murmured. Yet he watched amazed as an extreme glow came upon Bubbles face.

"Oh thank you!!" she said with extreme happiness in her tone, she went over to him and gave him a quick hug in her excitement, then grabbed the candy and started blabbering on about which one she should eat first.

Boomer sighed to himself. "God, just what kind of a doctor do I have…"
