Chapter 24: Simon Remembers
After Simon fainted, Dave and Theodore called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived within several minutes. Soon, Simon was put into the ambulance and taken to the hospital, with Dave and Theodore driving close behind. It didn't take them long to reach the hospital, and once they did, Dave and Theodore waited while the doctors looked at Simon.
Theodore was especially worried; he had seen Simon get in a car accident, and now this! What was going to happen to Simon? Dave re-assured Theodore that everything was going to be alright.
About an hour or so later, the doctor came over to tem and told them that Simon would be fine. The doctor also told Dave and Theodore that they could see Simon if they wanted too. Dave and Theodore followed the doctor into the room and saw Simon sleeping in a hospital bed. The doctor then left Dave and Theodore alone, and told them he would be out in the hallway if they needed him.
Dave put Theodore on the bed and watched as he walked over to Simon and held his paw. Theodore was glad that Simon was going to be okay, but was also sad and scared as to what Simon would be like when he woke up. As Theodore slowly started to cry, he said:
"Simon, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't tripped and caused you to save me from the car, none of this would have happened. Please wake up; I just want my brother back." As Theodore kept crying however, he didn't see Simon's paw slowly squeeze his. Simon then started to groan, and as Theodore looked up, Simon slowly looked over at him. Simon gave his little brother a confused look as he said:
"Theodore? What are you doing here? What happened?" Theodore gasped upon hearing Simon's voice and instantly cried out: "Simon!" as he hugged his brother. Simon hugged back as Theodore asked: "Simon, do you remember me?"
"Of course I remember you, Theodore. You like food, you're kind, and you like making friends!" Simon said before he and Theodore separated from the hug. Theodore couldn't help but smile, knowing that Simon was back. Dave then looked at Simon and asked: "Simon, how are you feeling?"
"I'm good. I'm just glad to be back," Simon replied as he smiled up at Dave. After several more minutes with Simon, the doctor told Dave and Theodore that they had to leave. They did, but before heading out the door, both Dave and Theodore gave Simon a goodbye hug. After separating from the hugs, Simon waved goodbye to Dave and Theodore, the doctor turned off the lights, closed the door, and let Simon fall asleep.
