FQ: Hi, I'm your host FawnQawn and my co-host Ivory. Isn't it great to be here Ivy?
IV: Sure is Faqu.
FQ: What?
IV: (She laughs) Never mind. Listen hurry up and tell them about this chapter before they fall asleep.
FQ: ( I give a fake smile along with a grin.) Ha, keep the jokes Ivy and I'll find me another co-host. You think Garney's available. (Her smile disappears). More like it.
(She mumbles under her breath.) I move on Let's cut the chit-chat. Dana's back and is jealous of Andy. I whisper in the camera "I don't know why?" Ouch! Why you pinch me in my back! I rub the my sore area.
IV: Look, I'm getting paid to make you look good and sound-God knows you need it- not for your insults.
FQ: Yeah, sure you make me look good. I wish you would- She covers my mouth with her hand.
IV: Enjoy the first chapter.
Andy drives fifty miles per hour. Running late is something she never does. Her coffee is steaming hot and she can't even take a sip, because of it. Her radio is playing her favorite song artist…Sting. Now, every time she heard his music she thought of Milo. She had the most wonderful time with him when they left for the concert a month ago. Afterwards, they went back to his place for Champaign.
"That was the most wonderful time I had Milo, thanks." Andy rested on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"You made it wonderful." He smiled down at her and their lips met.
After, that long process of thought she was pulling into the Rhittenhouse's parking lot. Once inside, the herd of busy co-workers and their patients filled Rhittenhouse. She stopped off at Lana's desk.
"Hawkins?" She was taking by surprise when she sees what she's wearing. "What is that you're wearing?" She looks her over.
"I got this shirt made for Dana. Ten dollars at the mall." The Shirt was Red and in big bold black letters it read 'DANA, WELCOME BACK TO RHITTENHOUSE'. She laughs. "I tell ya, you can't get things cheap like they use to." She gets her serious, but funny face on. "You late. Why?"
"I haven't been able to sleep lately."
"How, come?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know why myself. I just have these weird feelings that some things going to happen. I don't know. Who's here?" Referring to her patients.
"Well, it might seem weird, but no one. Ain't you fortunate. You do have one at eleven o'clock. Mrs. Hilton." Andy rolled her eyes. Mrs. Hilton was a paranoid woman with man problems. In her forties and still a virgin. She's been married once, but it was an accident that happened in Las Vegas. Long story.
Just as Andy was leaving, Lu ran up to Lana's desk. "Has Dana arrived?" Andy turned to see Lu, cheesing like she was expecting a secret admire. "She called last night and said she'll be here at nine-thirty."
"Leave your pants on kid. It's nine-forty." Lana shook her head. "Some people don't know how to act when they about to meet someone."
Lu pointed to her shirt. "Oh, some people don't know how to act. Look at that sweater. Some people don't know what to wear when they're about to meet someone." Lana looked down at her shirt.
"Don't even try it." They went back and fourth teasing each other. "This cost to much to be talking about it." She laughed. Lu focused on Andy.
"Hey, Andy." She lightly tapped her on the arm. "Can't wait for you to meet my old partner."
"I can't wait either. That's all I've been hearing this past week. She must've been a goddess."
"I wouldn't say that, we just love her…like we love you."
"Thanks, love you guys too. Well, I got to-" Just then Dana walked through the door.
"No need to cry, no need to fear, because Dana Stowe is here." She yelled as she saw her friends. Lu and Lana ran to her and gave her a big hug. "I've missed you all."
Andy stood back and waited for an introduction. Lu did the honors.
"This is Andy. Andy as you know, this is Dana." Dana looked her up and down. Without showing that she dislike the sight of her she disguised it with a smile. They shook hands. "Nice to meet you."
"Same here." Andy smiled. Dana took a deep breath.
"Where's my Nick?"
Nick was talking to a nurse, when Dana walked around the corner. He happened to look up and see her. He finished talking to the nurse and did a walk-run. She gave a laugh when she saw him. The hug was no more than a friendship hug. The relationship they had previously had; they set apart from now. "Dana, its been to long. You look good." He examined her. She picked up a little weight, but other than that she was the same Dana.
"Well, two kids keep me fit and on my feet." She paused. "So, how you've been? Any girlfriends?"
"I met someone. She's great. Its' been…about," He thought for a second. "Three months. Yeah. Three months. You?" She shook her head.
"Still single and lovin' it. I just haven't found him yet, but its good you found you someone. Do I know her?"
"She works here. Gabrielle. She's a doctor. Not sure if you know her though." She said nothing. "You meet Dr. Campbell?"
"Yeah, yeah I met her. Not what I expected though." He frowned.
"What does that mean?" She waved her hands as to say nothing really.
"Nothing, just not what I thought?" Confused he ended it.
"Well, look I got work to do. You're here for two weeks right?" She nodded. "I'll see you soon. Everybody's getting together and having dinner."
Andy was paged to the Emergency room. The paramedics were bringing in a lady. She noticed it was Mrs. Hilton, her eleven o'clock. One of the paramedics was explaining to Dr. Campbell, what had happened. "Bp is over 150. She fell down a plight of stairs. Neighbor called, she said she didn't answer her phone and she new that she didn't see her leave. She has a broken spine and a fractured leg." They lifted her on the count of three. She was conscious. She checked her pulse.
"Mrs. Hilton, this is Dr. Campbell. You fell. You have a broken spine and a fractured leg. I hear crepitus in your leg. You have to stay awake for me." She moaned.
"Heart rate dropping!" A nurse yelled. Dr. Campbell ordered 10cc of morphine for the pain.
"Get the defibrillator ready!" Just then her heart rate became normal and they all breathed. "Transfer her to ICU."
Back at her office Andy was filing some papers. After, Mrs. Hilton was stable she was immediately transferred into intensive care. She was soon casted and receiving reasonable amount of morphine. Andy buried her face in her hands. A knock at the door aroused her head. It was Milo and he brought her cappuccino.
"Thought, you could use something to awake you." He bent down and kissed her lips. She took it out of his hand. "Thank you Milo. I needed this." They kissed again, this time until they got a knock on the door. It was Dana.
"Sorry, did I walk in on something?" They both smiled.
"No come in Dana." Andy got up and pulled out a seat for politeness.
"Milo," Dana opened her arms. "Its sure is good to see you." Milo pulled away from the hug, but Dana seemed to not want to let go. For it not to seem suspicious, he waited for her to let go. Andy thought that it was enough. She pulled Milo by the arm.
"That's enough." Dana looked at Andy with a smile, but not a smile to say she was happy.
"Haven't seen my man in over two years. Can't give him a hug?" Andy said nothing. She turned back to Milo. "We have to get together."
"Well," He cleared his throat. "The whole crew planned a dinner for you sometime this week I know."
"Yeah, that's what I meant." She huffed. "Well, I'm off to my hotel. No, need to bother working people." She kissed Milo on the cheek. "I'll see ya." She left not even saying goodbye to Andy. Andy slipped her arm into Milo's'. Hands entwined.
"I really hate to say this Milo, but I don't think I'm going to like her very much."
He looked at her understanding why, she felt that way.
FQ: Wow, already on the wrong foot. I don't know what to tell you guys.
IV: If you're smart Fawny, you'll let Dana get what she deserves.
FQ: Don't even start IVY. I lick my tongue out at her There's nothing like a good butt kickin'. (Ivy gets up to stretch. She yawns.)
IV: I'm going to the bathroom.
FQ: You can't leave. I say thru my teeth. We're on air. Live. People are staring at us. Hundreds of eyes on us. Well, me mostly. I laugh
IV: You! Ha you wished funky. ( She pushes me up side the head.)
FQ: Funky! That's it Jerry. Call Garney. Ivy and I are not feeling a vibe here.
Jerry signals for me to deal with it. Man! I bang on the arm chairs. I look around the studio. Where's Garney?
IV: Fawn, you know you would hate to do a show without me. Face it honey…you love me and would die to have me go. That's true people. I like making fun of her and she likes making fun of me too. Give me hug.
FQ: I hesitate. Then we hug. Okay, back to what we came for.
IV: Gotta go to the bathroom (She leaves.)
FQ: Loser! We laugh I have to work on the next chapter. It's coming soon. Be honest on how you think the first chapter is coming. And clear. "Make-up people. A shine is on my nose." I snapped my fingers. " Where's my coke Jerry"
JR: "I had drunk it."
FQ: "That's okay. Give me Ivy's."
