Mr. Dawson: I'm going to call Ally's mom. You should call Dez and Trish. It's going to be ok Austin.

*Gets up and goes outside.

*Austin calls Dez and Trish and they arrive shortly.

Trish: Is Ally ok?

Dez: Yeah, what happened?

Austin: She had a major stomachache and a 103.0 fever. When I went to get her Dad he called the doctor and when I came back to the Practice Rm she was passed out on the floor. Her dad told me the doctor wanted us to come to the hospital because she needed an appendectomy.

Trish: It's going to be ok Austin. She's getting help now.

Dez: Yeah, buddy she'll be ok. I'll get you some water.

Austin:(turns to Trish and voice starts to break) I read online that people.. die from appendicitis.

Trish: That's not going to happen Austin. She is a brave and strong girl. She'll get through this. With your love and support. *Dez comes back with a bottle of water and gives it to Austin.

Austin: I'm going to lay down on the couch. You guys can watch TV if you want. I'll just ignore it.

Dez: It's ok buddy we'll do something else.

*Mr. Dawson comes in

Trish: How's Ally?

Dez: Is her surgery done?

Mr. Dawson: We made it in time. It was a success. She's in the recovery room. She hasn't woken up from the anesthesia yet.

Trish: Can we see her?

Mr. Dawson: Yes. How's Austin doing?

Dez: He fell asleep on the couch. I'll go wake him.

*Gently shakes Austin. He wakes up and rubs his eyes.

Austin: What happened? Is Ally ok?

Dez: She's fine. The surgery went great. We can go see her.

Austin: Ok.

*They walk in the recovery room. Austin goes to Ally's side and holds her hand. He gently rubs her head. The doctor comes in.

Mr. Dawson: Hey doc, how long until she wakes up?

Doctor: A few hours. It'll take her a few days to recover from the operation.

Austin: Thank you for saving her life. It means a lot.

Doctor: You're welcome young man. She must be one special girl.

Austin: She is.

Doctor: I'll be back later to check on her.

*Walks out.

Mr. Dawson: I'm going home to get her blanket and pillow.

Austin: Can you get her Dolphin Dougie? It'll make her feel better.

Me. Dawson: Sure.
