So, thank you for the review. Yearh the fashion show didn't go as Ashley A had hoped, but she knows that she can't rush this. But she still has plan B, and yearh Spinelli is right about what Ashley A is thinking about her. Also, I updated my other current story. Now onto the chapter.
Chapter 9: doctor's appointment and plan B.
Today was Friday, and that meant, that it was time for Spinelli's doctor's appointment. The appointment was at 10 o'clock, so first breakfast early, and then Ashley A's mom had agreed to take the brunette to her appointment, while Ashley A would be at home, reading a magazine.
Ashley A hadn't really gotten anywhere with her plan so far. Spinelli was still a tomboy, and still cringed at the thought of her first name. Basically, Spinelli was still the same on the inside, so Ashley A had to put her backup plan into motion, she just had to get the brunette out of the house first. So, she found some nice outfits, while Spinelli was having a bath. She decided on a white sundress for Spinelli with a blue flat, and a jean skirt with a red top for herself; with a pair of red wedges.
Ashley A also did Spinelli's hair. Putting a hairband in the brunette's hair and applying some light makeup. While she decided to braid her own hair and applying some light makeup to her own face. Afterwards they went down for breakfast. Spinelli had learned not to complain out loud about her outfits and makeup, knowing it wouldn't make a difference, since the blonde was deaf where all things Spinelli was concerned, or more acutely all things Spinelli liked and disliked.
After breakfast, Spinelli left with Ashley A's mom, who took her to her doctor's appointment. Leaving Ashley A alone, for a few hours. Just enough to put things into actions. They got into the car and drove to the hospital.
They got in and took a seat in the waiting room, where Ashley A's mom talked to her, and said. "you know Ashley, I brought something, since we're probably going to be waiting for a bit." She took out a fashion magazine for tween girls, and some pen and a paper, before she started talking again. "I remember you talked about how you seemed to like to draw, so I thought you might be interested in drawing something while we wait, and something you and our Ashley could do together, while your leg heals. Or if that doesn't interest you, then you could read a magazine while we wait."
"Oh thanks." Spinelli said, appreciating that the older woman wasn't going to make her talk, since she didn't want to see rude, and maybe she could find a way to draw something.
While Spinelli wanted to draw something, she couldn't think of something right now, since she couldn't seem to find inspiration, so she gave in, picked up the magazine and started reading in it.
She was busy reading, when her name was being called. "Ashley Spinelli." A nurse said, and she got up with the help of Mrs. Armbruster, and they walked over to the doctor, who asked them to follow him.
"Okay Ashley, first we're going to take a scan of your leg, and then we can talk afterwards, okay. So, I will find a nurse who help you out, just wait here."
After getting a scan, the doctor came back, and started talking. "Okay Ashley everything looks fine, but I would still advice against using a boot for support, for at least the next two weeks. But you should wear a cast for at least 6 more weeks, and then in 2 weeks, I want you to come back in two weeks, and then we'll have another checkup."
Meanwhile back at the house, after Spinelli had left. Ashley A began to put her backup plan into motion. First off, she decided to call a therapist, who also dealt with hypnotism. She remembered back in elementary school, how Prickly had been hypnotized into believing he was a kid again. If it worked for their former principal, then it would surely work on Spinelli. Though it couldn't just be regular hypnosis, it had to be subtle. Ashley Q had mentioned it once, how her dad had worked with someone once, and kept their phone number. So Ashley A got the phone number from Ashley Q, and called the guy.
They talked over the phone and reached an agreement. Ashley A would pay him, a lot of money to do as she said. She herself believed that she was helping Spinelli reach her true potential, and if that meant using certain ways to do so, then so be it. The guy would come by Monday, and then start the session.
After the phone call ended, Ashley A went into her dad's home office, found the computer and went online. She decided to do some online shopping. This time around, she would shop for Spinelli, and buy her clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry makeup and hair products. All stuff that she knew the brunette needed, to be an Ashley. The stuff would arrive in a matter of weeks, just right before summer ends, and school begins.
Eventually Spinelli and Mrs. Armbruster came back, after the doctor's appointment, just in time for lunch.
During lunch, Ashley A asked Spinelli. "So Ashley S, like, how did your appointment go."
"Fine." Answered Spinelli.
"I would say it went well. Her doctor said that she should wear a cast for 6 more weeks, but she had to come back in 2 weeks, and maybe she'll be able to wear a boot." Ashley A's mom said.
"That's, like, so awesome. Soon enough, you'll, like, be able to walk again, and then we can, like, do stuff together outside." Ashley A said, to which Spinelli said nothing to, she was hoping that once her leg had healed, that her parents would come back and pick her up.
"You know mom, I, like, think it would be, like, so much fun if Ashley S could stay here all summer, and she can continue to borrow my clothes, until we can take her shopping. Plus we could, like, have her stay and join our end of the summer party."
"Well I mean, we certainly have enough room for her, and money's certainly not an issue, and since you girls are having so much fun, then I guess she could stay here, as long as her parents don't mind." Ashley A's mom said, before she continued. "What do you think Ashley S."
"Oh you know, I don't want to be a bother to you." Spinelli said, remembering what her mother had said, and knowing that she depended on Ashley A, decided to try and be as polite about it as possible, instead of saying that, it was the last thing she wanted.
"Oh nonsense, it's not a problem for us. Once your leg is healed, you girls can do so much stuff together. Oh I should go get that." Mrs. Armbruster said as the phone rang.
"Hello, Armbruster resident."
"Hello, this is Flo, Ashley Spinelli's mom speaking."
"Oh hello, I'm Heather Armbruster, Ashley A's mom."
"Hello Mrs. Armbruster, I was just calling to see how my daughter was."
"Well, she's doing better, we went to her doctor's appointment today. Oh and by the way, I know that there has been some talk about her possibly staying here all summer, and I fully support it. We have enough room for her, and money's not an issue. So she can stay here, and then you can pick her up, before school starts up again."
"Oh, well that's certainly very generous of you. Now I wouldn't mind talking to my daughter, and I can speak to her about it."
Heather then took the phone and gave it to Spinelli. "Here your mother is on the phone."
"Hello." Spinelli said.
"Hi Pookie." Her mom said on the other line.
"Hi mom."
"So honey, how did your appointment go."
"not bad, I have to wear a cast for 6 more weeks, but in about 2 weeks, then I might be able to wear a boot on my foot, meaning that I might be able to walk on my foot soon enough again. By the way, when are you and dad coming home."
"OH, well we talked about coming home, once 6 weeks had passed, but now it looks like, it'll be at least once 8 weeks have passed, if not more. You know Mrs. Armbruster did mention that you girls were having so much fun, and that you could stay there for the rest of summer vacation. She said that it wasn't a problem, that they had enough room and that money wasn't an issue. So we might not come back until right before school starts up, but we'll see. Besides your friend Ashley could use the company, and you could use someone like her, to be a positive influence on you."
"Okay fine." Spinelli said, knowing that arguing with her mom was a losing battle for, and that she had no choice but to accept the fact that she was going to be spending an entire summer with her least favorite person in the world.
"That's good honey, I'll call you again in a few weeks, and I'll tell your father that you said hi."
And with that the phone call ended, and lunch had ended."
"So, I guess you'll, like, be spending all summer with us." Ashley A said, hiding a smirk. She was thrilled, she now had all summer to turn Spinelli into an Ashley, and not just a couple of weeks.
Next chapter: Spinelli has her first session.
Oh, just for the record, I don't know how the whole broken leg thing and healing works, so if anybody knows anything about that, let me know, so I can fix it.
Now As always please R/R and let me know what you think. Hope you enjoyed it. Now remember, I don't own recess or it's character.
