The music goes with the chapter, LISTEN TO IT!!!

Nobody's POV

Everyone runs outside, except for Mito-san, who stays by Alluka. The jet stops in midair.
"Maybe he'll jump the way Netero-san did at the Hunter Exam!" says Gon.
But a rope ladder drops out, and Light Nostrade descends from it.
"Hey, Neon!"
Neon runs up and hugs her dad.
"So, did you bring the ten million I asked for?" says Neon.
"Eliza has it," says Light, and, as if on cue, Eliza appears and hands a pink briefcase to Neon.
Neon hands it to Leorio. But Leorio doesn't take it. He's too busy winking at Eliza, and flexing.

Kurapika's POV

"Don't bother flexing, you've got nothing to show off, old man," says Killua.
"Says the guy with white hair!"
"It's not white, it's silver! Besides, you're seventy!"
"Oh come on, I'm not that old! I'm actually a teenager!"
At this point, Neon falls over from shock. Eliza is looking down, and I can tell she doesn't feel worthy of laughing. But through the strands of hair surrounding her face, I can just see a smile.
Killua is right, Leorio has no chance with her.

Gon's POV

"Guys, stop it! We have to help Alluka now!" I scream.
Every moment they waste is a moment they could be helping Alluka.
I storm inside. Mito-san is by Alluka, replacing the cloth on her forehead. She looks at me, and leaves the room.
I sit down next to Alluka's still body. A silent tear slips out of my eye and lands on her hand.
I reach down to wipe it off. Just as my thumb brushes her pointer finger, she grabs it.
My eyes widen. Is she... Regaining consciousness?
Alluka's eyes open. I can see she's struggling to keep them that way.
"Gon..." she says.
"Alluka... I was so worried... We were all so worried... But, personally, I think I was the most worried," I say, still crying.
I help her up, and we sit on the edge of the bed holding hands.
"Uh, Gon, there's something I need to tell you."
Is she going to confess?
"I... I like you. Like like."
I can see her cheeks turn pink, and I know mine are too.
"I like you too," I say, and we both look down at our hands.
Just then, Leorio walks in.

Leorio's POV

They. Are. Holding. Hands. This is so exciting! Wait, isn't Alluka in a coma?
"She woke up a few minutes ago," says Gon.
"Oh? Well, I'll leave you two alone, if you know what I mean," I say, and wiggle my eyebrows.
I run outside and give the good news.
"Alluka woke up, and she was holding hands with Gon!"
Neon squeals and hugs Kurapika, who looks like he's suffocating from the tightness of the hug. But he's smiling. Killua is making his cat face and doing a little jig. Eliza and Light had left in the time I went inside. Mito-san is smiling and promising fresh cookies for everyone.

Alluka's POV

I'm so glad he likes me. Being rejected would have... Well, I really don't know, but something bad would have happened.
Gon nudges my toe with his.
"Alluka? Do you wanna go out with me?"
I know my answer.
"Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!"
"Okay, let's go now, then," he says.
He picks me up piggy back style, and we go outside. One we are in everyone's view, they seem to want to follow us.
"Guys, we're going on a date here, we kinda want some privacy," I say.
They leave us alone after that.
