{Fire's POV}
Me, Snap, Wild, Ryan, Moose, and Ben were all hanging out outside near the lake. "Hey, look, we can swing off of that tire and into the lake," Ryan said. I nodded. So that's what we did.

I took off my shirt, revealing my red bikini top. I was already wearing ripped jean shorts. I kicked off my shoes and so did everyone else. Moose swung first. "LET'S GO!!" he yelled and landed in the water with a splash.

Snap went next, then Ryan, then Wild, then Ben. I finally swung and did a backflip into the water from the air. "Let's see if I can do a better flip than Fire, yeah?" Moose announced. "Moose, you'll get hurt if you try," I laughed. "Whatever, let's get it going!" he yells and swings from the tire. The tire rope breaks and he falls flat on his feet on the ground.

"OW!" he yelled in frustration. I get out of the lake and run over to him. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?!" I asked, examining his leg. "Fire, I'm fine, it's probably just a scrape," he said. After he tried walking, I could tell he was in pain.

"George, you're hurt," I say as I help him walk to the G-Wagon. "We'll see you guys tomorrow, I have to take care of him," I yell to the others. They sat their goodbyes and I put Moose in the G-Wagon while I drive it back to the TM house.

After we get home, no one is there. Lucy and Delta maybe, but no one else. Not Ariel, not Jeremy, no one.

I take George to the backyard where the hammock is. The sun is setting, but it's okay, because is summertime and there's no rain tonight. "Lay down, George," I demand. He nods and smiles. "I like where this is going," he said.

I get on top of him and lay my head on his chest. He smiles at me as my eyes get heavy. I was close to falling asleep. "How's your...foot..." I say before I fall asleep. I could tell he was smiling at me. The hammock started to rock back and forth. He was using his foot, his bad foot, that is. He was saying 'ow' and such.

"It still hurts, but my heart is more important."
