Make a Wish || Rhett and Link

Chapter Seven - Learning More

Rhett and I pulled up outside Make-a-Wish HQ. "Let's go make some dreams come true!" Rhett said, getting out of the car.

I chuckled and got out of the car as well. We walked into the lobby.

Now the first thing you see when you walk into Make a Wish HQ, is the massive photo wall. Pictures of kids having their wishes come true. Rhett and I stared at it for a few minutes.

"There we are Link!" Rhett said, pointing to a picture towards the bottom. Sure enough, there we were.

"Hey guys, welcome back." Adam said. Rhett and I both turned to face him. "I'm so glad you could make it."

"No problem Adam." Rhett said.

"Come on through, I'll talk to you guys a little about what we're going to do." Adam said, We followed him through to his office. We all took our seats around the desk.

"So, who's wish are we granting?" I asked.

Adam handed me a folder. "Cooper's. This kid has been through hell and back. My heart really goes out to her."

"So Cooper is a girl?" Rhett asked, "I thought Cooper would be a boy."

"No, she's a girl." Adam said.

I opened the folder and looked over it. "She's been diagnosed with a cluster of inoperable brain tumors." Adam explained.

"That's awful." Rhett said simply.

Adam took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes. "About a week and a half ago, her family was killed in a car crash on the highway."

Rhett and I exchanged a glance. "Poor baby" I said softly, looking at her photo. She didn't look very well at all.

Adam sighed again. "The doctors didn't deam her well enough to go to their funeral. She missed it."

"That's absolutely horrible." I said. I didn't have any other terms to describe it.

"And she wished for US?!" Rhett asked.

I reached into the folder and grabbed the card where it was written. The writing itself was worse than Lando's, but I could make it out. Plus, someone had written below it in normal writing. I handed the card to Rhett.

"Yep, she did." I said.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked Adam.

"I went and saw her the other day. She's the opposite of well at the moment, so probably a hospital visit. Oh, and we're going to get her an iPad. One with data, so she can watch your show. Apparently she's been using the nurse's phone to watch it recently."

"Oh, okay, cool." Rhett said. "When would we do that?"

"I was thinking towards the end of next week. She had chemo every two weeks, so I'm assuming the best time to visit would be when the effects are starting to wear off."

I gulped. "Her story is so sad." I said.

" When I went and saw her a few days ago to give her the wish...my goodness, she looked so sad. I really want to do something to make her smile. She deserves some kind of happiness."

"We could visit more than once." Rhett suggested. "We could do like, a visit every 2 weeks maybe."

Adam stroked his chin. "That would be awesome." He said.

"And we've got some new merch coming out. She could be the first one to get it." I suggested.

"This sounds great!" Adam said. "And we could....oh that won't work."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Oh, um, I was thinking, just maybe, if she's well enough, you could just like, take her out for the day or something. Anything to get her out of that hospital." Adam said, "But it's stupid."

"No it's not, we could totally do that!" I said.

"Really?"

"Yeah, sounds great!"

Adam gave us both a high five. "Thanks for helping guys. You're really going to grant her wish."
