"Kakyoin, guess what I have for you!" you chirped as you burst through the doors to Kakyoin's hospital room, "Here's a tip: You absolutely love it!" The red-head chuckled, "I missed you too, Kate. Now hand me these cherries." "Want me to feed them to you?" you offered, not sure how much he could do, with his eyes bandaged. The rest of the group entered, led by Avdol. "I must say, I'm a little hurt you went to see Kakyoin first." stated the Egyptian. "Well, I had cherries for Kak and I had hoped he'd share them with me...." you explained. "Avdol, have your injuries improved any?" inquired Kakyoin. "They have. As relieved as I am, I'm even more relieved knowing you'll be alright." spoke the Egyptian. "Yes, well, I was lucky there was no significant damage to my cornea. I'm expected to make a full recovery. This takes me back to middle school. During what should have been an ordinary game, one of my classmates took a baseball to the eye. He was as good as new the next day and as it turns out his eye had only lost a bit of fluid." told Kakyoin. "Wait, are you serious?" asked Polnareff. "I'll get these bandages off in not time. And I'll catch up with you in a few days. In 800 kilometres are Cairo and Dio. Everyone you must remain vigilant." warned Kakyoin. "We will. You just don't get attacked during your stay here." you assured. "No worries, Kate. And stop eating all the cherries, you brought them for me!" complained Kakyoin. You let out a guilty chuckle, "Here, have one!" You basically stuffed it into his mouth, "Oh, and don't you dare doing that creepy trick with your tongue. I have very bad memories with that!" "What trick? Show me!" demanded Polnareff. "Oh no, you won't!" you protested. "I'd much rather see Jojo do that trick with the lemonade!" You turned to look at the broody teen. "You'll show me, won't you?" you gave him the best puppy dog eyes you could muster. No man had ever been able to resist that! You could see the delinquent struggle for a moment, then Jotaro sighed, "Fine. But I can't do that in here. We'll have to go outside for that." "Yay." you cheered.

After some time you left Kakyoin to rest and your group went to the reception to pay Avdol's hospital fee. "Let's see....What kinda language is this hospital bill written in, anyway...I guess it's supposed to be Arabic. But man, if this crap isn't confusing! The zero is a five, the decimal is a zero and the seven is a six? And what the heck is this wormy-looking thing supposed to be....?" Polnareff rambled on in his usual manner. "It's a four." explained Avdol, "So, the amount we owe is..." "46350 Egyptian pounds?!" exclaimed the French, "That's insane!" "Aww, he's adorable!" "My god, what kind of dog is he?" Several female voices could be heard from outside. "Look at that, why in the world is he chewing gum?" "he must be waiting for someone." "Such a good little doggy." Four women, two of them were nurses, had found Iggy in front of the hospital and were (understandably) gushing about the dog. "And here I thought Iggy was waiting for us outside." commented Avdol, while Jotaro let out his catchphrase. "Well, would ya look at that. Iggy actually turns out to be a successful ladies' man. Unlike others I shall not mention." you chuckled. "Looks like he's a hit with the ladies." agreed Polnareff and promptly made his way outside, dismissing your comment. "Should we stop him?" wondered Avdol. "Hell no, I don't wanna miss this." you chuckled diabolically, then strolled after the French. "Hello there, ladies." Polnareff greeted the group of females gushing over Iggy. "Here's a little bit of friendly advice for you girls. Step away if you know what's good for you. I know he comes across as a charming fur ball at first, but deep in his soul he harbours an extreme hatred toward people." explained Polnareff. You shook your head, not yet stepping outside yourself, he was asking for it. "If you're not careful, when you'd least expect---" Polnareff was cut off, by Iggy who jumped into his face. "What are you doing?! Get off of me you damn mutt!" Iggy farted into Polnareff's face. The four women started laughing. "You stinking...." cussed Polnareff. The women laughed, "He's such a cutie!" You chuckled, "Yes, he's a very cute dog, indeed. Don't you think so Polnareff?" "Stop laughing and get this fleabag off me!" Polnareff screamed. "These two get along so well." you laughed. "In your dreams! We don't get along at all! Damnit, Iggy! You get the hell off of me!" Polnareff cursed. You laughed so hard you almost toppled over. The old man, Jotaro and Avdol in tow, left the hospital, "We catch you guys later. See ya, lovebirds." That comment made you laugh even harder. "Mr. Joestar, please help me." Polnareff, while you started thinking about rewarding Iggy with a stick of his favourite gum. The men left you and Polnareff behind. "Hey, hang on a minute, would ya?" Polnareff screamed. The men ignored him and left. Iggy once again farted into Polnareff's face. "You nasty little mutt!" Polnareff cussed.
