Jasmine's Day Off-Chapter 38

Augustus: *walks in while carrying a soaked Paula* "Before you get mad all I did was dodge her tackle and she fell into a pool. Do you have a towel or something?"

Neurologist: *grabs a blanket, runs to her daughter, and starts drying her off* "You better run punk before I finish drying off my daughter. Run for your life while you still can."

Augustus: "But I came here to see Jasmine. Can't I stay for a while?"

Neurologist: "Sure if you are not worried about a mother's wrath then stay as long as you like."

Augustus: "I'll take whatever punishment you have for me later, but for now I need to see her." *walks over to Jasmine and notices she is still knocked out* "What do you think is wrong with her? She hasn't woken up in a while… was it the late night she had with you?"

Neurologist: "That's a deep grave you're digging for yourself. Keep on making me mad and let's see the results." *finishes drying off Paula* "Hey are you alright? Wakey-wakey sweetie."

Paula: *sleep talking* "Gotta… be brave… for momma… can't lose."

Neurologist: *carries her to a bed and tucks her in* "You don't have to be brave just for me. Please get better soon." *turns around, changes from sweet and caring to angry and deadly, clenches her fists and starts sprinting towards Augustus* "Dodge this and Jasmine takes a fatal blow."

Augustus: *stands there and doesn't even make an attempt to block*

Neurologist: "Good boy." *jumps up and kick Augustus on the side of his head* "One-hit KO. Ha, take that punk!"

Mitch: *wakes up and notices Paula nearby* "Paula!" *jumps out of the bed and runs to Paula's bed* "Paula? What's wrong?"

Neurologist: "You're a speedy little devil aren't you?"

Mitch: "Yeah just like my dad… umm, what's wrong with Paula? She's shaking"

Neurologist: "She lost a lot of body heat and needs to warm up. Wanna help?

Mitch: "Uh huh." *shakes head up and down* "I'll give her a hug that always makes me feel warm on the inside." *he hugs Paula and her body stops shaking as much* "Hey I think it is working already."

Neurologist: *watches Mitch awkwardly try and warm up his friend and notices Paula blushing* "Heh, keep on hugging her I can already see her warm up." *thinking to self* "Is it cruel if I already know what is going to happen next? Nah, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show."

Paula: *wakes up still blushing and sees Mitch hugging her* "Kyyyaaaa." *kicks Mitch off the bed*

Neurologist: *smiles at Paula* "That's my girl." *looks at Mitch* "Hey does it hurt anywhere?"

Mitch: "I'll let you know when the room stops spinning."

Paula: "Why were you hugging me while I was sleeping?"

Mitch: *dizzily* "Y-you were shaking from the cold… I thought a hug would warm you up… should of asked though… sorry, I deserved that kick." *flops backwards*

Paula: *jumps out of the bed and goes to Mitch* "You were just tryin' to help, don't say sorry for that you pansy." *hugs Mitch* "Thanks for being worried though, ya big dummy."

Radiologist: "Aww, great it spilled over to the next generation… will the drama ever end? Hope you are proud of yourself."

Neurologist: "Yep, I'm proud of the little devils I'm training. Ready for more karate lessons kids?"

Paula: "Yay! I'm gonna go kick some butt." *does a little dance* "Oh yeah."

Mitch: *blushes* "Umm, I have a headache… can I be excused?" *obviously lying to avoid having to fight and everyone in the room can tell*

Radiologist: "Come on you can fight me instead… I'll be an easy sparring partner. What do you say?"

Mitch: "I'd rather race against dad… do any of you know where he is?"

Neurologist: "Sleeping and I'll be your opponent today."

Everyone else: "What?"

Mitch: "Can I give up now?"

Neurologist: "I won't use my punches against you, just a few slaps."

Mitch: "Your slaps feel like Paula's punches so no thanks."

Neurologist: "If you can dodge my attacks then you'll be fine."

Mitch: "Hmm, no." *folds his arms and pouts* "I don't wanna fight you."

Neurologist: "Let me put it this way kid… fight me and win or you'll never see Paula again."
