The Party: A Scott Pilgrim Fan Story

Chapter 6: Peaches

Kim woke up from her drunken coma after being admitted to the hospital. "What happened.." She mumbled. "You're bleeding us dry, Kim." Steven snarled. "1. I have no clue what shit you're on, Steve. 2. Could somebody elaborate???" Kim retorted. Scott pulled a up a chair next to the hospital bed. "Well, you kind of got drunk at Julie's party... And Ramona got arrested for stealing" Scott explained. "Yeah and you passed out at the police station." Neil added. Kim was confused for a moment before piecing things together. 

A nurse then came into the room to talk things over with everybody. "Miss Pine. The doctor recommends you take 1 week of rehab." The nurse said. "Oh. Well ok, one week wouldn't hurt." Kim shrugged. "Do we need to pay for every session? We're already broke enough as it is." Steven asked. "Oh, no worries. The sessions are free since they're bundled with the hospital visit tonight." The nurse responded. "Though I would recommend she stay overnight, which is an extra 12 dollars." Everyone sighed but caved in. "I'll withdraw the money from our bank account tomorrow..." Steven moaned. "Sounds good, you can pay at any time." The nurse said before leaving the room. 

"You know, Kim.... You kind of smell like peaches..." Neil said. "I don't if I should take that as a comment or an insult..." Kim replied before dozing off once again. 

Back at the police station, Ramona was sitting in her cell. She thought long and hard about earlier, mostly focusing on what she was missing out on, but just worrying about getting the 2 night sentence over and done with. It was then that the warden came in and told her she got a phone call. Ramona picked up the phone only to receive a call from Scott. "Sooo....We're at the hospital right now, money is a little tight, but we should be out tomorrow. Kim also has to start a week's worth of rehab." Scott explained. "Oh...Well ok, I'll see you in a couple of days." Ramona said before hanging up and retreating back to the cell. Scott also hung up his phone before turning back to the others. "We should probably get some rest." He suggested. "Good idea. I'll call a hotel and-" Neil said before his phone was snatched out of his hand by Steven. 

"Dumbass! Didn't you forget? We don't have any money to stay at a hotel!" Steven shouted. "You know, Steven. Maybe you should tone it down. Wouldn't wanna wake Kim up, y'know..." Neil said looking over at their patient. "Well..Ok, but we'll call Wallace first thing in the morning and see if he can lend us any money." Steven sighed before dozing off in his chair. 

"Kim really does smell like peaches tho..." Neil muttered.
