The Miracle Clinic

Chapter 32 - Cracking Down On The Pencil Black Market (Epilogue)

Author's Note: Hey there, you may have noticed that there was a bit of a gap between 30 & 31's release dates and 31 wasn't quite up to snuff. Well, that's because I've been a bit busy with college final exams and projects (including working on a script & shooting a short film) so this had to be put by the wayside. That being said I'm almost done with them so expect chapter releases to happen more frequently! Anyways it's time for another sun shorts chapter, if you guys like these then let me know since I might get rid of them if people are indifferent towards them.

SUN SHORT #1 - Just Like You

In the cafeteria, Elizabeth is looking for a spot to sit, she goes over to sit next to Alex & Ronnie but they're too focused on a game of arm wrestling, she goes over to X Locke but he's too busy sleeping, & she goes over to Hamster but he's too busy selling his muffins to several people.

As Elizabeth almost gives up on trying to find a place to eat, she looks and notices Cameron Dots sitting all alone at a lunch table. She decides to sit next to him.

"Oh hey, I didn't know we were in the same lunch period," Cameron says.

"Yeah I didn't either," Elizabeth says.

An awkward silence falls between the two as they continue to eat. Eventually, Elizabeth breaks the silence by asking, "So why did you want to join the club to begin with?"

"Oh well, it's a bit embarrassing," Cameron states.

"It can't be as embarrassing as how I joined," Elizabeth retorts.

"Okay fine, I joined because....because I figured it would help me get a backbone."

"Oh...."

"I just sit around doing nothing when anything happens and I can never say no to people, I just want to be able to do something I want to do. You get me?"

"....Yeah, I get what that's like."

Cameron looks over at Elizabeth and smiles. As the two continued to chat away, they became something more than just classmates. They became friends.

SUN SHORT #2 - Reasons Unknown

Tim, Tom, & Tim-Tom are walking out of Starlight High after finishing their time as janitors. Aken Amnestor & Zesti Champion are watching them leave.

"Hey, thanks for the dough, Amnestor, you're the best!" Tim-Tom says as he has the three paychecks for their short time, "If you ever need any odd job done then give us a call."

"Yeah, what he said!" Tim yells.

"Tim, what did we talk about?" Tom asks.

Tim sighs, "Inside voices only, I know..."

Amnestor chuckles before saying, "You boys stay safe out there!"

The Three Ts make their exit and as they do so, Aken Amnestor notices Zesti Champion is a bit concerned.

"Everything alright?" Amnestor asks.

"Those kids are dropouts, right? Aren't they going to just cause trouble?" Zesti asks.

"They might not be the best of kids but they still are good at heart, you know one of them came up to me the other day and you want to know what they asked me?"

"What?"

"If I had any extra homework assignments. Those kids still want to learn."

"Then, why did they even drop out to begin with?" Zesti asks.
