Okay so, I understand if this chapter seems kinda pointless but you'll see where I'm headed soon. Also, it's based off a true occurrence in my life, as I've mentioned before, this story is inspired by someone I know in real life that is an EMT. Actually, today, I received word that his brother passed out and he had to start doing chest compressions on him right there in the kitchen. There is something so incredibly fascinating and wonderful about the art of saving a life. The point is, the concept of the prank that Maya and Riley and Lucas pull off in this chapter is inspired by my dear sweet real-lifesaver. If you ever read this, if you're out there, I loved reading the book you wrote, and I loved foiling your cousin's car...Thank you.

Don't forget to review! :-) and enjoy the chapter!

"Leon I'm not kidding! You need to hurry!" I yell at my partner, while leaning over a small child and siphoning blood out of her lungs. She lies on the stretcher completely still, the other paramedics rushing around and trying to ready the girl to be transported. Helping lift the stretcher, together we all push it into the back of the ambulance. Two other paramedics jump in and stabilize the girl as we then slam shut the back doors, running to the driver's seat and starting the vehicle. I hold my hands firmly on the steering wheel, remembering what is at stake. With my heart beating rapidly in my chest, we drive into the city and make our way to the nearest hospital.

"You really saved her life, didn't you?"

Riley's voice brings me back into reality. Sitting in the Matthew's living room, I bring my storytelling to a halt and nod my head. Across the room, Maya digs around in the refrigerator, humming a song to herself as she does so. I pay her a glance every so often, but try to mask my affection for her as we are around others. Beside me, Riley is lost in her phone screen. Probably watching cat videos- but she seems to be completely oblivious. I had hoped Maya wouldn't tell anyone about our kiss, especially Riley...She was Josh's family, and Riley felt very strongly about being truthful. Sighing and leaning backwards on the couch, I prop up my feet on the coffee table and let out a long groan.

"Why all the moaning and groaning, cowboy?" Maya turns and says to me, walking into the living room and taking a seat on the floor.

"Did I groan?"

"Very loudly." Riley turns and says, making sure to insert herself into the conversation.

"I certainly didn't do it on purpose."

"Well what's wrong?"

You mean besides the fact that I'm in love with you and your boyfriend is the spawn of satan? Oh, nothing is wrong.

"I'm just restless. I'm so used to action and being on the go, that when I'm sitting here and it's quiet, it's hard to just….be still."

Maya sits for a long while and ponders on my words with a quizzical expression. Then, standing abruptly, she exhibits a sense of wonder and joy that I hadn't seen in her since before the accident. It's good to see you smiling, dear girl.

"I have an idea!"

"I love ideas!" Riley shouts, joining Maya at her side as they both stand and stare down at me. Sitting with a strong feeling of excitement growing inside me, I too, stand up and wait to hear Maya's idea.

"I think we all need a break, do you not agree?" Maya begins, waving her hand as she speaks. "And there is this very specific thing I've been wanting to try lately...It's really childish but I think it might just provide us with an innocent source of entertainment." Maya sits down then on a barstool, rotating around as she waits for our response. Riley's curiosity is practically radiating off of her small figure as she jumps up and down, begging Maya to tell more.

"Tell me tell me tell meee!"

Maya laughs and puts her hands on her hips, smiling brightly as she reveals her master plot.

"We are going to foil someone's car."

"Foil someone's car?" I repeat her words with much confusion.

"Like- cover their entire car in tin foil." Maya's happiness is boiling over as she continues to explain her devious prank ideas, as Riley then looks up the phone number for the nearest supermarket.

"Why are you calling the grocery store?" Maya asks as Riley holds her phone against her ear. "To see if they have fifty rolls of tin foil in stock." Riley replies, trying to contain her laughter. I watch from a distance as the two girls plan and carefully discuss, managing to zone-out and keep a steady stare at the back of Maya's head. Certainly this was the true Maya- this sort of thing excited her. Since being with Josh, her wild personality hadn't shone through, not even through the painted walls of security that she constantly associated with Josh being in her life. Of course it was foolish, and childish, but it was one of those little things...Those little things that make up her entire, wonderful, beautiful…-

"Lucas? Are you coming?" Riley snaps her fingers in front of my face, bringing me back to reality once more. Sighing and nodding my head, I follow the girls as the three of us exit through the back door.

"Darn it, Maya!" I playfully tease her, as Maya crouches down low and accidentally trips over my leg. Toppling onto the cold pavement, she apologizes and laughs at the incident. Being sure to keep a close watch on Farkle's house, we continue wrapping the metallic sheets around his vehicle. On the other side, Riley wraps up the tires and finishes the mirrors, letting out an occasional squeal of laughter or excitement. Maya cracks a joke at me just about every three seconds, and I admit that this is one of the stupidest things I have ever done.

Extremely stupid, yet, I have never been this happy.

Suddenly, in an unfortunately loud manner, Riley's phone starts ringing. Looking through the tinted windows, I see her on the other side of the car as she answers it and rolls her eyes. Hanging up, she stops her foiling and comes walking towards Maya and I.

"My dad is wondering where I am- I gotta go. I'm sorry guys! You can finish it up..." Riley keeps talking as she walks down the street, into the dark city lit only by streetlights. Standing with my arms at my sides, I slowly look over to Maya and shrug. She does the exact same, and we share a laugh, then continue with our foiling.
