   Luna enters the hospital room. "Simón, I came as fast as I can. What happened?" Luna looks over Simón and Ámbar worriedly. "No nothing, just an athlete's injury," Simón chuckles. "Glad to see you still have your good humor," Luna chuckles too. "He sprained his ankle which means he won't be able to participate in the competition," Ámbar confesses. "No no, I'm all good. I'm perfectly fine, I can and will participate in that competition-" "No you won't. The doctor said you can't do any extraneous activities including roller skating." Ámbar cuts Simón off. He sighs with dismay.

   "Well at least I have good news. Our team qualified for the competition!" Luna mentions. They all quietly cheer with happy hands since they're at a hospital and want Simón to rest. "Well honey, I'mma let you get some rest okay," Ámbar gets up from her chair and kisses Simón before heading out the door with Luna.

   "I can't believe this happened. Simón must have been in huge pain. I feel bad not being there," Luna admits. "Don't feel bad, he'll recover soon. I know Simón. You were going through a lot too, it made sense for you to leave. Sometimes when we're stressed, we need peace and some alone time. We sadly have another issue at our hands though. We have no one to replace Simon," Ámbar states.

   "Do you have anyone in mind?" Luna asks. "Nope. No one that I know of at school know how to skate. I think it's also too late to hold auditions for a replacement."

   Luna scratches her head and keeps thinking. "Is there anyone you have in your contacts from working with other teams in the past that you know that can help us?" Luna suggests. Ámbar takes out her phone and scrolls through her contacts. A familiar name pops up. "I think I know someone who can help," Ámbar glares towards Luna. She presses the call button and waits for a response.


Jam and Roller

   Jazmin enters the locker room and sees a note taped on to her locker. "Meet me at Fountain Park, I would love to get to know those sparkly eyes, from your secret admirer." Jazmín starts jumping up and down. Delfi enters and sees her best friend ecstatic. "Wow I'm shocked you would be this happy after what just happened to Simón," Delfi remarked. "What? No! I'm not happy for that! I'm happy for this!" Jazmín hands Delfi the note. Delfi's eyes grow large. "Wow Jazmin, this is awesome. A little sketchy but intriguing." Jazmín squeals, "I know right, it's my two favorite things! I'm so excited and so curious too! I wonder who it could be?" Delfi nods. "Yes, I'm very happy for you but I think it's best I go with you just in case the guy is a creep. I don't want you to go alone. Better yet, me and Pedro can accompany you. Once we see it's someone safe, we'll leave you be," Delfi advises. "Well, if you say so," Jazmin responds.

   Simón goes one step at a time into the cafeteria with crutches. The doctor let him get released early since Simón wasn't feeling much pain and begged the doctor. Nico and Pedro help Simón sit down and get readjusted. "I feel awful," Simón exclaims. "What? But you said you weren't feeling much pain to the doctor?" Luna asks. "No, I don't mean that. I meant that I feel awful that you guys now don't have another member for the team," Simón moped. "Don't worry about that. The main priority is you having a fast recovery. We'll look for a replacement and everything will be okay," Luna tries to comfort Simón. Luna then heads over to Ámbar and whispers, "so how did the phone call go?"

   "She didn't pick up, so I just left her a message. I guess we'll just have to wait and see for her response," Ámbar says. Juliana enters the room. "Even though Simón has gotten hurt, which I hope you feel better soon dear, that doesn't mean we should all stop training. The competition is coming close, and we need to seriously prepare. While Ámbar and Luna look for a replacement, we shall keep moving forward with our training." The whole gang head to the rink and start practicing.
