The Miracle Clinic

Chapter 20 - Out & About (Finale)

Inside the gymnasium at Starlight High, the carnival is still going strong as several people are going to different stations and all enjoying themselves. However, despite most people enjoying themselves, a small group of people sitting at a table seem to be on edge. Those people are Selina Gulvonac, Ray Ramirez, Christopher Wrinkle, & Zesti Champion. Sam Penningberg & Ivan Turnip are also at the table but trying to calm the others down.

"Man, I came here because I thought there was going to be cake," Selina says as she looks around the table.

"That cake is the only thing that got me through my roughest moments," Christopher says.

"I wouldn't be the person I am without that cake," Ray Ramirez croaks as he wipes a tear coming down his face.

"I think you're overexaggerating about how much this one cake means to you guys," Sam Penningberg sighs, "and besides Ray, I thought you were trying to be presentable today."

Ray, instead of having a man bun, is having his hair down and is wearing a blue hoodie and white shorts instead of the more formal clothes he wears to work.

"Hey get off my back Sam, you didn't tell me about this carnival until a few hours ago," Ray retorts.

"Please you two, you're setting a bad example for the kids," Ivan Turnip states, "besides I thought Miss Champion said she has someone getting the cake, right?"

"Oh- uh, yes I am," Miss Champion replies, "we just need to be a little bit more patient."

"Whoever that guy is sure is taking his sweet time," Selina says.

"His sweet time?" Ivan Turnip says with a smile on his face.

"I didn't mean it as a pun!" Selina says as she storms off.

As the carnival continued, the question everyone had on their mind was 'When is the cake going to get there?'

Fortunately for them, Alex Smith, the person delivering the cake, was being driven by X to the high school at a fast pace. Unfortunately for them, however, they were being chased by The Three Ts who all were driving motorcycles.

"NOWHERE TO RUN SMITH!" Tim-Tom yells from his bike.

"On the contrary, we have a ton of road left to go," X says in a Texan accent as he drives just a little bit faster.

As the orange jeep X is driving begins to go over 80 mph, Alex begins to write an obituary for himself. Tim & Tom drive up next to the orange jeep and they both take out crowbars. They go to smash in the windows of the jeep however X hits the brakes and turns the car in reverse so the thugs miss him. Tim-Tom gets out of the way as X drives the car in reverse. The Three Ts follow X backward.

As X drives the car backward, he waits until he gets to an intersection and performs a bootleg turn causing the car to start driving back the way it just came. As The Three Ts try to turn their motorcycles around, X guns it on the car causing it to go over 90 mph. X weaves his way through traffic as he effortlessly avoids any pedestrians.

"How are you so good at driving?" Alex asks.

"It's easy really," X says as he begins to see Starlight High up ahead in the distance, "I took driver's ed!"

However, despite X's enthusiasm, Alex begins to pray to any god who would listen as The Three Ts catch up to them again.

"Hey, did you think you could lose us so easily?!" Tom The Second Thug yells.

"Hey Thomas or whatever your name is," X begins to say in a Texan accent, "a motorcycle is nice and all but you want to know what cars have over them?"

Tom looks and sees that the orange jeep is swerving toward his motorcycle.
