Monday morning Tracy wakes up really tired because she spent all last night having nightmares about today. She wipes the sleep from her eyes. She takes a quick shower and changed into the same outfit she wore on her first day of college. Antonio is in the kitchen filling up Luna's water bowl. He sets it down in front of the puppy. Antonio looks up. He watches Luna pushes it with her nose to the middle of the floor. She hears Tracy walking in the room. Luna walks over to Antonio and sits down next to his feet. Tracy didn't see the bowl in her path. She trips over it a few seconds later. Most of the water splashes on her face when she hits the floor. She sits and spits the water out of her mouth.
"That's one way to help me wake up," Tracy says.
Antonio dashes over to her with a dish towel in his hand. He helps her up. Then he takes off her glasses and dries her face off. He hands Tracy back her glasses. She puts them back. They walk over to the table.
"My little angelfish, are you sure that you don't want me to be there with you when you talk to Joshua?" He asks.
"Tony, I'm sure that I'll be fine." She answers.
After she eats breakfast Tracy go gets her car keys. He offers to drive her to class. She walks over to him and kisses him on the cheek. Then she leaves to head to class. An hour later she gets to the campus. She parks her car and gets out. Tracy walks to class slowly.
Tracy, stay strong. You're not going to back out this time. You can do this. Tracy thinks.
When Tracy gets to class and doesn't see Joshua. She decides to take a few minutes to calm her nerves. She sets her things down on the bench and leans against the wall. She takes a few deep breaths hoping that would calm her rattled nerves. Sandra and the guys walk up a few minutes later.
"Hey Tracy, what's up?" Thomas asks.
"Hey everyone, today I'm going to tell Joshua to stop flirting with me," Tracy answers.
Sandra says that she admires her for what she is doing. Owen adds that all the others girls he flirted with in high school weren't as brave as she was. They just switched classes or tried to avoid him. Tracy turns to her left and sees Joshua turn the corner. She pushes herself off the wall and walks over to him.
"Hey beautiful, how are you doing today," Joshua says smoothly.
"Hey Joshua, listen there is something that I've meant to tell you," Tracy says nervously.
"What is it?" Joshua asks.
"Joshua, I want you..." Tracy says.
Tracy is stopped mid sentence as she feels Joshua carefully push her backwards. He pins her against the wall. Tracy tries to finish her sentence. Joshua wraps his arm around her waist. Then Tracy feels him smash his lips against hers. A few seconds later he starts to French kiss her. A drop of soda slowly drips off Joshua's tongue and falls into her mouth. A mill a second later Tracy's throat and tongue swell and she passes out. Joshua stops as soon as he feels her body go limp.
"Owen, call 911," Thomas orders.
Owen takes out his phone. He opens it and sees that he doesn't have any bars. He puts it back in his pocket and dashes over the emergency phone on the wall. Sandra and Thomas dash over to them.
"Joshua, you drank some cherry Coke this morning didn't you?" Sandra asks.
"Yes, why," Joshua answers.
"Because Tracy has a life-threatening allergy to cherries, didn't you proofread her autobiography?" Sonia says.
"I just skimmed it," Joshua answers.
She takes an epi-pen out of her purse. Thomas asks, "Why do you have one."
"Because my little sister has this same kind of allergy to peanuts," Sonia answers.
She takes off the safety cap and sticks the pen into Tracy's thigh. Ten seconds later she takes the pen out and rubs the spot. Tracy's breathing returns to normal, but she is still unconscious. The paramedics arrive with a stretcher. They put Tracy on it and take her away. Sandra and the boys follow the paramedics. Everyone gets to the hospital on campus. They follow the paramedics to the second set of double doors.
"I need all of you to wait here. Your friend is in good hands."The doctor says.
They watch as Tracy is wheeled through the doors. A few seconds later they walk over to a few chairs. They sit down and wait for the doctor to come back out.
"Joshua, I hope you're happy. Tracy might have died if Sandra didn't have her epi-pen." Thomas says.
"Thomas I'm sure that she had one in her purse. Joshua, why did you kiss her?" Sandra asks.
"Tracy said that she wants me," Joshua answers.
"You didn't let her finish. Tracy was going to tell you that she wanted you to stop flirting with her." Thomas says.
Joshua didn't say a word. He lets out a long sigh. A few seconds later he starts feel incredibly guilty about this whole situation.

Back at the apartment Antonio is in the living room watching TV. Luna is sleeping on her bed in the far right-hand corner of the room. A few minutes later Luna wakes up. She jumps on the couch. Antonio looks over at her. He sees the look on her face that said feed me.
"Ok girl, let's head to the kitchen," Antonio says.
He turns off the TV. They head to the kitchen. Antonio picks up Luna's food dish. He fills it up and sets it down next to her water dish. Luna walks over to her dish and starts to eat. A few minutes later the phone rings. He walks over to it and picks it up.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Travis Garreth from Pasadena university hospital. Tracy was admitted twenty minutes ago. We treated her for anaphylactic shock. She is stable but still unconscious." Dr. Garreth says.
"Thank you, Dr. Garreth. I'll be there in an hour." Antonio says.
He hangs up the phone. He picks up Luna's leash. When Luna hears the clips jingle she stops eating. She dashes over to Antonio and sits down next to his feet. He clips it to her collar.
"All right Luna, you are going to stay with Jayden and the others at the Shiba house. I'm going to the hospital to talk with Joshua." Antonio says.
Back at the hospital Sandra and the boys are standing next to Tracy's bed. Joshua looks down at Tracy. He uses his left hand to fix her hair.
"Tracy, I'm so sorry for what I've done to you." Joshua says.
Antonio dashes in a few minutes later. His sneakers skid as enters the room. He catches himself before he hits the floor. Everyone turns around they see the winded young man.
"Who is this guy?" Owen asks.
"He is Tracy's fiancé." Sandra answers.
"Yes, I'm Antonio. Which one of you guys is Joshua?" Antonio asks in a serious tone.
Owen whispers good luck to Joshua. Then Sandra, Owen, and Thomas leave the room. They wait outside the doorway. Back inside the room Antonio calmly walks over to Joshua. He can sense the nervousness welling up inside of Joshua as he gets to him. Joshua takes a deep breath.
"Are you going to beat me up?" Joshua asks.
"Relax Joshua; I'm not that kind of guy." Antonio answers.
He hears Joshua sigh in relief. Joshua apologies for what happened. Antonio tells him that he knows that Tracy didn't tell him about her allergy. Then he asks him what happened. Joshua explains the situation to him. After he finished the story Antonio places his hand on Joshua's shoulder.
"I don't blame you for falling for Tracy. She is a great girl. Didn't you notice how your flirting was affecting Tracy?" Antonio asks.
"Maybe, I noticed that she was more stressed out and edgy than some of the other students I'm friends with." Joshua answers.
"How many of his new friends are girls?" Antonio asks.
"Tracy is the only one," Joshua says
"You may have a few more friends that are girls if you don't come on too strong, try to start slow when you talks with girls". Antonio says
"Thanks, for the advice," Joshua says.
"Are you going to stop flirting with my fiancée?" Antonio asks.
"Yes I promise. Do you think that she would still want to be friends with me?" Joshua asks.
Antonio tells him that he should ask her that when she comes to. Joshua nods and says sounds like a plan. Antonio sits down in the chair next the bed. Joshua leaves to head to his next class.
== After saving the world ==
Around six o clock Antonio comes back into Tracy's room after eating dinner. He hears Tracy start to come too. He walks over to the bed. Tracy's eyes open slowly.
"Hey my little angel fish, how do you feel?" He asks quietly.
"Hey my golden knight, a little confused. Where am I?" Tracy answers.
Antonio tells her that she is in the hospital because she went into anaphylactic shock. Tracy ties to sit up but the room starts to spin around her. Antonio lays her back down gently, and says "Take it easy angel; you've been unconscious for the past seven hour."
Joshua knocks on the door a few seconds later. He asks if he can come in. Antonio looks over at him and nods. Joshua slowly walks over to the bed.
"Hey Tracy, I'm glad that you're going to be ok." Joshua says.
"Thanks, and I'm not mad at you for putting me in here. I know you really didn't read my autobiography." Tracy says
"Yeah I'm wishing that I did. Anyway do you still want to be friends with me?" Joshua asks.
"I would like that. You promise that you'll stop hitting on me and trying to make me forget that I have a fiancé." Tracy says.
"I promise." Joshua says sincerely.
