The next day, Spunky was going to be transferred to the L-Town hospital, since his condition had greatly improved.



Poser shook Muffins on one of the couches in the lounge, trying to wake him up. "Muffins, the tests came back, both positive. Go tell Farrah. They're writing up Spunky's discharge papers right now"

"Alright" Muffins sighed, getting up. "She's never gonna want to talk to me again"

He headed towards the elevators, and walked into Farrah's room, only to see a little Chinese boy and his mother.

"What?" Muffins look confused. "This is room 463. Where is Farrah?"

"Who?" The woman asked. "I don't know what you're talking about. Me and Charlie just got here this morning to begin his treatment for Leukemia"

Muffins rushed to the nurse's station. "Where's Farrah?" he asked, out of breath.

"The one with the cancer in her foot?" one of the nurses asked, and Muffins nodded.

"Oh, sweetie" the nurse said. "She passed around 3:30 this morning. Such a tragedy. She was the sweetest girl"

"What?!?!" Muffins exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding me"

"I wish we were" another nurse said. "She was a fighter til the end"

"What happened?" Muffins was trying to hold back tears"

"Around 2am, she started telling us her mouth hurt" the second nurse said. We checked it out and found a few sores in her mouth. Her immune system just couldn't fight back. The doctors thought she had at least five more months"

"She-" Muffins stuttered. "She told me she wouldn't be dying anytime soon"

"We weren't expecting it to be this soon" the first nurse said. "We just won't know where those sores came from until an autopsy is done"

Muffins took a deep breath. "I know where they came from" he admitted.

Fifteen minutes later, Muffins was in handcuffs, being escorted to a police car. Poser waved goodbye to him, with a disappointed look on his face.

A few hours later, Spunky was settled into his new hospital room in L-Town.

"Cherry?" he whispered sleepily and quietly.

"Hmm?" Cherry looked up from her phone.

"Thank you so much for staying with me the whole time" he smiled slowly. "Come here" he said, patting a spot on the bed.

Cherry hesitantly sat down. She still felt so guilty about what had happened with Muffins and Poser, even though she had started her antibiotics. But she couldn't tell Spunky, she just couldn't.

"You okay?" Spunky asked weakly.

"Yeah" Cherry lied. "Yeah, I'm fine"

Spunky smiled at her, as tears started streaming down her face.
"You sure you're okay, baby?" he asked.

"Yes" Cherry whispered. "Perfectly fine"

bam.
