Charlie Brown went home after having gone into surgery to reattach his right arm. But he didn't know what to say after he was told that he was paralyzed for life. Meaning, he would have to use a wheelchair.
"So, Charlie. I hope you understand what I mean." Maureen said.
"I understand, mom." Charlie Brown said after he had returned from the hospital following the surgery.
Linus saw Charlie Brown in a wheelchair that the hospital had given him, meaning that his injuries would be life-changing.
Linus knocked on the front door and asked to see him.
"Hello, Mrs. Brown. Is Charlie Brown home?" Linus said, being very concerned.
"He is. Is it because he was paralyzed from the waist down?" Maureen asked.
"Paralyzed?" Linus asked.
"Yes, paralyzed."
That was Charlie Brown after he went to the front door and saw Linus.
"Oh God.." Linus said in horror as he saw him in a wheelchair.
"Yeah. You see it here first hand. I am officially paraplegic and in a wheelchair. Not being able to walk." Charlie Brown said.
"That's horrible. What will happen to school?" Linus asked.
"I guarantee that nobody is going to want to accept me because I'm paraplegic." Charlie Brown said.
"I also heard that you are going to ride a special-ed school bus or a school van, Charlie Brown. When will you start?" Linus said.
"My mom should let the bus dispatcher know what happened." Charlie Brown said.
"Hi, this is Maureen Brown, and our son was just involved in a car accident that has left him paralyzed. I was wondering if there's a school bus that would accept him." Maureen said.
"There is a school van to take him to school. Let him know that we are all very sorry about his serious injury."
"Well, his doctor told us. I was pretty understanding. As for my husband, let's say he didn't take it well." Maureen said.
"Route 174 is the school's van."
"Alright. I'll make sure he knows. Thanks." Maureen said.
"No problem, thanks for calling."
"I wanted to let you know that Route 174 is the school van. It will pick you up tomorrow morning at 6:35 AM." Maureen said.
"Alright, mom." Charlie Brown said.
Charlie Brown decided to go on the group chat he was in.
Carlin2002: Hey, Charles. I heard about what happened. Wanna call?
CharlieBrown2001: Sure.
So, Marcie called Charlie Brown, which got Peppermint Patty, The Little Red-Haired Girl, Peggy Jean, Jake, Laurel, Mia, and Linus to join.
Linus2003: So, you are aware of what happened. Are you?
PJ2000: I have. And I feel sorry for him. Considering that he was going to become an administrator, but I don't know if that will happen. We'll see.
Then, Jake gave his condolences to Charlie Brown, who had been paralyzed.
Jake2005: Charlie Brown. Listen. What happened with the drunk driver that paralyzed you from the waist down was very uncalled for. I'm sorry you have to be paralyzed. But what made me feel bad for you is when I saw your dad running while freaking out in hysterics after he saw you in that stretcher. I hope to God the person who did this gets life without parole.
CharlieBrown2001: Thanks. It really helps me a lot.
Among all the people who had prayed, the one who had been with Linus and Larry since the Oreo Incident that had almost killed Rerun, decided to speak up.
The person is Rerun Van Pelt.
Rerun2007: I've heard about what happened. I have to agree with Jake. The person who did this will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I am meaning Life in prison without parole, the death penalty, whatever. You should never have to go through this.
Then, multiple people prayed for Charlie Brown.
Before the school van came to pick him up, he made sure to watch for anyone who might want to bully him.
Linus decided to get out the suits he would be wearing for the rest of the year, just in case any bullies tried to mess with him.
"Look at you with that suit." Larry said. Opposed to his wife, but she understood.
"So, here I go. Ready to go to school with Charlie Brown. Even if he's in a wheelchair." Linus said.
