Hi everyone. This chapter is based on the episode, 'Scared Tripless' except that Kenzie got bitten instead of Dub. Hope you guys enjoy this Halloween chapter.
Kenzie's POV
'He brought a real snake?!' My mind shouted. 'And a real Brazilian Cobra at that.' "Go on, touch it." Dub tells me. "No!" I shout back. He brought a real snake and he wants me to touch it. Maybe Trip is right about the part about him being insane. I then quickly touch it before pulling my hand back seeing that it is a real snake. We then walk towards the lobby, me to place Dub's scare into action and Dub to place Trip's supposed scare into action.
"I really think this is a dangerous idea." I tell him when he is at the doorway to the lobby. Hudson hears me and turns on the creepy sounding music. "Wait a minute. I know that music." Dub says. Babe starts walking towards us from her hiding spot in a creepy and haunting way. Dub screamed and frightened the snake. He then didn't realize that he dropped the snake when he screamed. He continued to scream, then suddenly I felt a strong pain on my left wrist. In the shock of everything, I didn't realize the snake moving up my leg and onto my hand.
I screamed in pain and everyone turned to look at me. "Kenzie!" "M!" They shouted as they saw the snake and came running towards me. I saw that Babe and Hudson were trying to pull the snake off just as I blacked out.
Babe's POV
Dub was so scared and it was really funny. We were so distracted that we didn't realize the snake moving. "Aah!" I heard a familiar voice scream. I turned to look at Kenzie and so did everyone else. "M!" I shouted while the others shouted "Kenzie!" We ran to Kenzie and tried to pull the snake off her. A minute after trying to pull the snake off, she fainted. Trip then managed to pull the snake off while Dub carried her carefully. I called the ambulance and ripped a piece of my dress to wrap around Kenzie's wrist to stop the poison from spreading.
As soon as we got her wrist wrapped, the ambulance arrived. Hudson and I followed her in while Dub and Trip went in the helicopter. In the ambulance, the doctors and nurses attached a lot of tubes to her and sedated her. I was sitting quietly in the ambulance praying that Kenzie would be alright while Hudson was confused on what was happening.
Trip's POV
"Dad! Did you really have to go this far and bring an actual snake just to scare me?! Look what happened to Kenzie! You have gone too far this time dad." I shout at dad. I know that it's disrespectful but right now I can't help it. Kenzie is in an ambulance probably fighting for her life now, and all because of what?! A Halloween scare! This was really unnecessary. "Have you ever thought of what might happen when you pull these pranks dad?!" I shouted. Then, I was quiet for the rest of the ride and praying that Kenzie would be alright. If she wasn't, I would blame dad forever.
Dub's POV
'What have I done?' My subconscious asks me. I brought a poisonous snake into a studio with kids, they're not even teenagers yet. What Trip said was true, it isn't worth it. A chance to scare my son each year, is not worth someone possibly being hurt or even worse, killed. I would be to blame for them because I was the cause of it all. And if I went to prison, Trip will be under the full care of that monster that he calls mom. I hope Kenzie will be alright. She has to be. She and her other friends have made my son happy, and seeing my son happy has always made a part of me happy. The other part of me is happy by the fat wads and scaring my son. Anyway, I just pray that Kenzie will be fine.
Babe's POV
We reached Sugar Hill Hospital in less than half an hour. They immediately take Kenzie into the emergency room to treat her further. I want to follow her in to make sure my best friend is alright but the nurses and the countless doors stop me from going in. I just sit on the waiting chairs outside and think about how this little scare went so wrong. It's all Dub's fault. If he never brought a real snake in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess. I then realized that Hudson wasn't sitting with me. I saw him staring through the windows. His eyes were glazing over with small unshed tears. I then realized that tears were pooling in my eyes as well. I was about to wipe them off with my already damp sleeve when a handkerchief was right in front of my face.
"Thanks." I whispered to Trip as he sat next to me. I then dried my eyes and laid my head on his shoulder. Before I knew it, I was asleep on his shoulder dreaming of making more games, jumping around on the trampolines, surprising and buying random stuff with Kenzie.
Trip's POV
Babe is really worried about Kenzie. So are the rest of us but I think she is the most. I'm not sure about Hudson because he is always confused but I know that if he understood, he would be really worried too. As soon as I enter the hospital, I rush to the emergency area ignoring my dad who is further behind.
At the area, I see Hudson staring through the window while Babe is sitting on one of the blue plastic chairs. Her makeup from our originally planned scare is still intact since we used a waterproof kind. She was about to dry her tears with her sleeve when I handed her one of my handkerchieves. "Thanks." She whispered quietly and sadly. She then leaned on my shoulder.
In less than a minute, she was already asleep. I guess that all this worrying is tiring her out. Luckily there's no school tomorrow since it's the weekend. I then gently kissed her makeup caked forehead. She doesn't even need make up at all. She is already beautiful just the way she is and I'm happy to have her as my girlfriend. As she sleeps, I hear soft murmurs of donuts and chasing. I then lean back against the chair slowly so that her head could still lean on me. I then fall asleep after laying her head on my lap and letting her feet stretch over another seat.
It barely felt like five minutes before I was woken up by dad saying that Kenzie has been moved to another room to be monitored closely although her conditioned seemed stable already. I woke Babe up and told her the news. She immediately had all of her usual energy back and we went to see Kenzie in unit 0912. She had a private unit since dad had decided to pay for it since he caused this mess.
Hudson's POV
I'm still confused. Kenzie was fine earlier, then she screamed and passed out. I followed her into an ambulance along with Babe where these people wearing white kept on poking her and sticking these long tubes onto her. I wanted to tell them to stop because I think they are hurting her but since Babe isn't saying anything about it, I guess it must be fine. But that's making me even more confused.
When we reach the hospital, they drag Kenzie in the bed that they strapped her onto into a big room and slammed the door in my face. Well not literally slammed but shut it so that I could not go in so it was like slamming it in my face. Anyway, as I stared through the window to see what was happening to Kenzie, I felt hot, salty tears burning my eyes. I wiped them away and continued to stare at the window until my legs felt tired and I sat down. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
I woke up when I heard Dub trying to wake Trip. Then, I saw Trip waking Babe up and Babe pulling him up and dashing towards the main hallways. I followed them into a room where I saw a really pale faced Kenzie lying on a completely white bed looking very weak and fragile.
Babe's POV
As soon as Trip tells me that Kenzie has been moved to a private room, I wake up and drag Trip along with me to go see her. We look in from the window at her door first before entering the room. My best friend looks completely pale and so small on the large white hospital bed. She has lots of tubes stuck onto her and it makes her look even more fragile. I enter the room quietly with Trip, so that we wouldn't wake her up. The doctor, Ms Beano, as the name tag said, was writing somethings down on a board and then clipped it onto the cot that Kenzie was in.
"Hello, are any of you Kenzie's relatives?" She asked once the four of us entered the room. "No, but I'm her best friend." I say and raise up my hand. "Well, we weren't expecting Kenzie here to be admitted." She said. Hudson, Trip and I gave her confused looks until Dub cut in saying, "It's true. They were already prepared to treat me incase the scare had gone wrong. I have been drinking Brazilian Cobra's venom so that I'm immune, but I didn't think that it could've gone wrong this way." "Dad! How could you?!" Trip screams at Dub. "Hey everyone." I say softly. "What?" They say. "Don't shout." I tell them and point at the weak looking Kenzie on the hospital bed.
"So doc, how is she?" I ask the doctor once everyone else has quieten down. "While the snake that has bitten her is very poisonous," she says and everyone but Dub, who knew about it, gasped. "Fortunately, not much of the venom entered her system so she will be fine." We jumped around and cheered happily quietly. "But," she continued. We stopped jumping around and turned to look at her. "The venom did enter her body, and the snake did bite her so that's going to have some side effects like her left wrist is going to hurt for a while since most of the venom was there, and she will need lots of rest since snakes' bite hurt a lot and she will need time to recover. Also, there is a small chance that even after her wrist is healed, that it might still hurt but it will always be a little sensitive." She concludes. We all nod and the doctor exits the room.
I sit on a chair next to Kenzie's bed and play with the fingers on her good hand. "I can't believe we could've lost you." I tell her sadly. "You're like an uptight little sister to me. I wish that I could've gotten to know you earlier so that I would have seen what a cool person you actually are inside." I say tearfully. I think the others are also crying a little. "Thank God, that you fought to stay with us. Game Shakers would be nothing without you. Although we've only been friends for these past two months, I think we're going to be best friends forever. I'll help you as you recover and make sure that you won't get too tired, because you're my best friend too and I'm sure that you would do the same for me." I finish. Then, I feel something moving from beneath my hands. I look and see her fingers moving a little. My face lights up and I think everyone else's does too because the next minute, Kenzie starts to move her head a little. Everyone crowds around her. Trip was next to me while Hudson was at the foot of the bed and Dub was at the opposite side.
A while later, her eyes opened. "Yay!" We all cheered. "Too loud guys." Kenzie then said. "B, can you help me sit up?" I nod while Dub went to call the doctor. "You had us all worried sick." I tell her. "But I'm glad that you fought it." She smiles.
"How are you feeling?" The doctor asks as she enters the room. "I'm fine." Kenzie tells her. I know it's not a little since she didn't shake a little when she said it. "How about your wrist?" She continues to ask. "It just hurts a little." She replies. "Can you move it a little for me?" Kenzie moves it a little then yelps in pain. The doctor then writes something on her chart. "Are you feeling tired?" She says when she finishes writing. "A little." Kenzie says then yawns. "Ok well, you're going to need lots of rest to heal and the snake probably hit a nerve but you should be fine in a week or two. I'll give you a cast so that your wrist won't move so much and heal faster and properly." She concludes her diagnosis. We are all really happy that Kenzie would get better. We all cheer but I feel that were missing a voice. I turn to look at Kenzie and see that she's fast asleep. As I, along with Trip, help her into a lying position, the doctor asks whether she should call Kenzie's mom. I tell her that she doesn't have to since she is on a business trip for a month with her dad. Then we tell the doctor that we will. Take care of Kenzie. She nods and leaves the room.
Once she leaves, Dub suggests that I change out of that costume since its damp and I'll catch a cold. I agree and Trip takes me to the studio to change into a pair of dry ones. I also called my mum and Hudson's mum that we were having a sleepover so that we wouldn't have to leave Kenzie alone.
At the studio, Trip and I think about how it all went wrong. We then pack five of the donut pillows, Kenzie's Pear Pad, a stuffed narwhal, a Tiny Pickles' doll and a Dirty Blob doll, to make her feel more like she is at the studio, into Trip's backpack. We then head back to the hospital where Kenzie is sleeping with a Hudson ruffling her hair while sitting next to her. We secretly take a few pictures of it because it's too cute to resist.
We then enter the room. I put the game characters next to Kenzie and her Pear Pad on the table beside her. I also put one donut pillow next to her and pass the rest of us one each. I then fall into a dreamless sleep sitting next to Kenzie's bed.
Kenzie's POV
The next two weeks pass slowly and quickly. Babe and Hudson got permission to have tutoring with Trip's tutor while I was still at the hospital. I tried to join the classes during the first week but they wouldn't allow me because I was still to weak to fully sit up. I joined during the second week but they wouldn't let me do all the homework and that was boring. After one and a half weeks, I was allowed to take the cast off but they still said to not put too much pressure on it or lift heavy stuff. There's was still the mark on my wrist that I'm pretty sure will stay there forever. At the end of the two weeks when the doctor said that I was clear to go home but should come back if my wrist was really painful, the rest of the Game Shakers wouldn't even let me help pack. They also said that we weren't going to regular school till next week but they said that they would let me do the full homework if I felt up to it. By the end of that week, I was mostly as good as normal except that I was worn out a little earlier than I used to be. I am glad that everything is back to normal.
Babe's POV
The first two weeks have been a little boring. Besides visiting Kenzie in the hospital and studying there since we didn't want to leave her alone, we didn't do much. She was always a little tired to do it although she doesn't think so, we know it. But it's ok, as long as I can get my best friend back.
The last week was a little better since she had more energy but we watched her carefully whenever she did things. We also made sure she didn't do anything to stressful. But now, things are almost back to normal. I kinda missed being really close Trip but it was fine since Kenzie is better now. When Trip came through the door to go into the studio, I pulled his arm a little, which kinda scared him and pulled him into a kiss. Something that we rarely did when we were at the hospital. I'm glad that we are going back to normal, although I'm not so interested in going back to school.
Don't worry guys, I won't make any of the major characters die. I hope that you liked this chapter. It is the longest one that I've ever written. Hope you'll send in more prompts. And special thanks to Miss Baking and Angel1D98. Bye. See you in the next chapter. And this has been an AngelFanfics productions.
