Changing
As they got to Acme Loo, Buster said, "We never tell anyone, at least not for a while. Bugs agreed. As he walked down the hall, Buster saw the one person he's been afraid of facing since his diagnosis. He saw Babs walking the hallway, coming at him. As they approached each other, Babs turned away from Buster walking by. Buster stopped in his tracks and turned around, catching up to Babs. "Babs! Babs, wait up! Babs, wait!" Babs stopped in her tracks, facing Buster. "You have a lot of nerve talking to me! I thought I told you I never wanted to speak to you again? What do you want?" Buster looked at her not sure of what to say. "I wish you would just here me out." Babs gave a smirk, "No chance, Blue ears!" Babs walked away, leaving Buster crushed and guilty.
Buster saw Shirley walking the halls just as his pain kicked in again. He went to the restroom and took his pills. He caught up with Shirley. "Like, what do you want, Blue Boy?" "Shirley, I know I was a jerk. I was rude and should have never said those things. I know you hate me, but you don't have to hate Plucky. Plucky is a good friend and one heck of a gentleman. Give him another chance, Shirley. He never said those things about you, those were my words, not his. Don't blame him for my mistake. Blame me. You didn't deserve that. I'm sorry I made you feel bad. I'm very troubled, Shirley. It's something I have to deal with weather I like it or not. I wish I could explain, but I can't. Give Plucky another chance. He deserves it." Buster walked away leaving Shirley teary-eyed and speechless.
That night, as he looked up at the sky he saw one star. He made a wish in prayer, "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight. God, let me live long enough to set things right with Babs. Take care of her for me. Let her know I will always love her and be with her. That's all I ask."
The next day, Buster got up in pain, and took his pain pills. He went to school looking for Babs. He saw her with Fifi at the cafeteria. Babs looked at Buster in disgust. Buster's condition is slowly continuing to worsen. "You look terrible, Buster." "Thanks. I try." Buster looked at Fifi, "Can you give us a minute, Fifi?" Fifi agreed and left the table. "Babs, I need to talk to you. I know you hate me and I understand if you do. I want you to know that I never meant to say those things to you. I was an idiot. Nobody deserves to be insulted, except for Monty." Babs giggled.
