I AWOKE ON A BED WITH AARON AND MACKENZIE WATCHING OVER ME.
I sat up, and an arrow barely missed my nose. I looked to my left, and the scary Gothic girl stood in the shadows.  Wielding a bow, she said, "Let's do some archery!"
"Go away Astro! She collapsed, and got a concussion. She must stay in bed. DOCTOR!"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Please check Koa's head again," she said, and took an angry glance at Astro.
"Sure." The woman walked up to me and untied a bandage around my head that I didn't even notice was there.  She sucked in air, then double-checked a monitor.  "I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay here for at least another week before you fully heal. You didn't get any major damage to the skull, so I guess I should say, you're lucky. It could've been much worse.  As for your friend, he got the worst." She gestured to the door, and Nathan walked in on crutches (is crutching a thing?). 
"Hey, guys," Nathan said and tried to smile, but it ended up looking like a poisoned puppy who just ate a brick.
"NATHAN!" Mackenzie screamed, and wrapped him in a hug.
"It's nice to see you well.  Um... Sorry.  At least you're okay," Aaron stuttered, and wrapped him in a man-hug.
A loud bell sounded.
"Yes!  Dinner!"
