Calvin and Susie

By Samhoku

I do NOT own Calvin and Hobbes. My sister started reading them and got me addicted. They are so funny XD.

Chapter

Susie got to Calvins house in time to have a stuffed tiger thrown unto her head and Calvin saying, "He is happy to see you Susie." Susie tried not to laugh as she took the tiger off her head, "Calvin, haven't you grown out of your stuffed toy?" "No."

Susie smiled and handed the tiger back to him, "I have my skateboard." Calvin held up his, "I have my skateboard. To the park!" He grabbed her arm and walked towards the park, pointing ahead of them. He was really, really, really weird. And for that reason is why she liked him.

Calvin soon released her and walked at a normal pace with his hands in his pockets, "So...How are you?" Susie shrugged, "I am doing well. How are you?" Calvin grinned, "I am doing awesomely."

Susie asked with fake sweetness, "Do you like your biggest test in the universe?" Calvin groaned and covered his ears, "The pain! The suffering! The agony." Susie laughed and lightly punched him in the arm. Calvin grinned at the small brown haired girl. She was growing her hair out again. Calvin asked curiously, "What do you do with your hair after you cut it?"

"I send it in to places that make wigs for kids or adults with cancer." Susie replied as she walked. Calvin studied the girl, "Thats a good idea."

Susie looked up at her friend, "Thanks. My mom is never sure what to think about it." Calvin was quiet for a long time, something unusual for him. "Calvin?"

Flashback

"Mom, I found this weird lump right here." The boy pointed at his chest, "Can boys get breast cancer?"

His mother started to grow worried, "Yes. I will go call a doctor, we will see what we can do."

3 weeks later-

"Your son has breast cancer."

"Wait, I don't have those...things. How can I have breast cancer?"

The doctor explained and all Calvin heard was blah blah blah.

Calvin hyperventilated. The doctor said, "Don't worry, most people survive from Breast Cancer."

Calvin covered his face.

End Flashback.

Calvin looked at Susie when she punched him in the arm, "Huh?" "Hey, whats wrong?" Susie looked worried.

Calvin sighed and looked down, "I have cancer. The weird kind, the breast kind...which is weird because I don't have those...large things." Susie looked like she would cry until he mentioned: Those large things. She rolled her eyes and whacked his shoulder, "Calvin. How would you like it if I talked about things I don't have that you have?"

Calvin wondered what she meant for a moment then realized and flushed, "Thanks. A lot. For reminding me."

"Will you loose your hair?"

Calvin looked at her, "What?"

"Will you loose your hair." She repeated.

Calvin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "I don't know. But it will grow back. I won't die."

Susie asked on the brink of tears again, "How do you know you won't die?"

"Not many people die from the cancer I have, Susie."

Susie threw her arms around Calvin, nearly throwing him off balance, crying into his side. Calvin caught himself and put his arms around her, "Its okay Susie." Susie shook her head, muttering into his chest, "No it isn't."

"Susie, everything will be okay." Susie looked up at Calvin when he said her name, for once he sounded sweet and caring. Not weird and crazy. Susie saw him give her a soft smile. Susie laid her head back on his chest.
