Chapter 12: Bobby's New Partner (continued)

When we last left our hapless band of insipid characters, Bobby was recovering from having passed out for some reason, Chris was bleeding to death but pretty much fine, and Angel was being a Helpful Nurse, not to mention so nice and pretty that Chris couldn't help but falling instantly, madly in lurv with her. What could possibly happen next? The wait is over in ...

Chapter 12: Bobby's New Partner (continued)

Angel slowly wheeled Chris into the other first aid station, used solely for extended examination [awww yeah]. Chris' eyes opened slowly.

"Where am I?"

"In a first aid station. I want to get a better look at you." [awww yeah!]

"Is Bobby allright?"

"He's just fine. How do you feel?"

Chris propped himself up on his hands and grimaced. "A little dizzy, and kind of tired." He fell back with an effort.

While she checked out his wound once more, Chris tried to organize his thoughts. First, he was runnign head first into the corner of the steel steps. Then, darkness. When he first woke up, the lights were blinding him, and bobby was out cold. He heard a voice talk about him losing blood. Then more darkness. Now someone had brought him into a first aid station to examine him. His vision was a little fuzzy, but he made out a woman [awww yeah!] with shiny blond hair and blue eyes. A nurse, no doubt.

Suddenly, the events of the day came flooding back to him. This nurse could only be the same stunning beauty he ha met earlier. Angelica, his heart's desire. [oh wow]

"Take it easy for a while. Don't do anything strenuous for the rest of the day." she said, still examining him.

"Ok."

She concluded the examination, applying a fresh bandage.

"I want you to come back here in an hour and a half or so so I can look at you some more." [awww yeah ... wait ... he's supposed to hang around the arena so she can look at his band-aid again?]

"O.K."

Chris wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, how much he needed her, how much he loved her, but all he could seem to say was "OK."

She helped him back to his dressing room, then left to "relieve" Katlin [awww yeah]. Bobby was sitting in a folding chair. Chris sat down next to him on the floor, leaning against the wall, eyes closed.

"You OK Chris?"

He nodded and said "just a little tired. How 'bout you? When I woke up and saw you out cold like that, I nearly screamed."

Bobby smiled a little. "I'm fine thanks. I don't think I've ever seen so much blood." he shuddered. "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Angel's a wonderful nurse."

"The best there is. Still got a crush on her?"

"Crush? I don't have a crush on her. I'm in love with her, Bobby. She told me to come back in an hour and a half. I'm going to ask her out."

"Good for you." Bobby prayed that Angelica said yes. If she didn't, Chris would be devastated.


NOTES:

1) What? Y'all don't believe in love at first sight? Cynics.

2) This whole setup is so ridiculous, I don't even know what else to say. Let's just move on.

COMING UP NEXT ...

We've got a short chapter next up on the docket, but it's chock full of stupidity AND completely Angel-free. Marie finally calls Scott on the phone ... will those two crazy kids work things out? Will I find a way to sneak a reference to an oldies song into the chapter? Will Rick's behavior dumbfound all? Tune in next time for ... Chapter 13: Marie.
