*FLASHBACK*Foamy was at softball practice.  Her team was practicing diving into bases.  It was lots of fun, until it happened.  Jimmy had come to Foamy's practice because he was her ride home.  He had nothing to do that day, so he decided he'd watch Foamy's team dive.  He thought that might be some good entertainment.  It was almost Foamy's turn to dive into second.  "I hope I do it right, because Jimmy is in centerfield, watching me."  Jimmy grinned at Foamy as she approached first base.  She did a normal leadoff, then took off for second.  About halfway there, Foamy caught sight of someone in all black, standing just in front of the backstop and pointing a gun at Jimmy, who didn't seem to notice.  Foamy sped up as the man fired, diving right in front of the bullet, which was headed straight towards Jimmy.  Foamy was struck by the bullet in the side. She let out a scream and Jimmy came rushing towards her.  He bent down at her side and called 911.  Foamy's teammates gathered around her, they were worried.  Rachel was there.  She helped Jimmy perform first aid on Foamy until the paramedics arrived.  She was taken to the hospital, with Jimmy and Rachel following in Jimmy's truck.  Foamy was in surgery for few hours, and the surgeons had gotten the bullet out.  Foamy was going to be okay!  Jimmy went in to visit her, and instantly started bawling because he was so thankful to Foamy for risking her life to save him.  Jimmy had promised to repay her someday.  Had the time really come?
