The Party: A Scott Pilgrim Fan Story

Chapter 7: In Need Of Money

"But Wallace!" A frantic voice whined from outside of the hospital. "Sorry, Scott. But my hands are tied!" Wallace replied over the phone. "Please! We need money to pay for the hospital visit AND to get Ramona out of jail." Scott pleaded. Wallace stayed silent for a few minutes before caving into his roommate's demands. "Alright, but you seriously need to get a job, Scott. I won't be here forever." Wallace said before abruptly hanging up.  Scott walked back into the hospital to grab a cup of coffee from the cafe. Good thing was the coffee was free to anyone and there was no need to worry about money. 

"Hey, Scott." A familiar monotone voice greeted. Scott turned around to notice Kim approaching him in a wheelchair. "Kim? Why are you? I don't understand." Scott said. "The doctors are, for some reason, worried about me not being able to walk thanks to my hangover. So I'll be stuck with this thing for a few hours." Kim replied. The two then spent the first few minutes of the morning catching up on what happened last night. "Good thing is Wallace is helping us pay for the cost of the hospital visit and bailing Ramona out." Scott explained. 

Back at the police station, Ramona received her first daily call from Wallace. "Listen. I'm getting some money to bail you out of prison. But your little boyfriend owes me big time." Wallace said. "Thanks, Wallace. I'll see what I can do." Ramona replied before hanging up and retreating back to the cell. "Wait....I forgot to ask how long it'll take for him to bail me out..." She then sighed before flopping onto the less than stellar quality bed. 

Getting back to the hospital, Scott and Kim arrived back to find Neil and Steven had ordered breakfast from the cafeteria. "Don't tell me we have to-" Scott said before Steven told him that breakfast was free. "Well you could have at least ordered ME something!" Kim scoffed. "I mean that is true, she is the patient." Scott added. Neil agreed with Scott and called room service to request a menu. "Now that's more like it." Kim said getting out of her wheelchair and getting onto the hospital bed with no issue. "I hope Wallace keeps his word with that money." Scott muttered. "I'm sure he will Scott. Now here! Have some fruit loops!" Neil said shoving his spoon in Scott's mouth. "Pfft. A little gay much?" Steven said. "Well look who's talking eh?" Kim chuckled, knowing that Steven is indeed gay. "Very funny, Pine. Very funny..." Steven replied. 

Suddenly the doors opened. No it wasn't a doctor, or a nurse. But someone else. Someone important....
