Ted laid in bed peacefully as he stared at his ceiling fan. It was bound to be a crazy week but he was just happy there was no school tomorrow. TGIF and what not. He had planned to sleep in and enjoy his day off by laying in bed and playing games. Those plans were almost immediately derailed when he got a text from none other than Eve Baldwin.

The Virgin Mary: You have plans tomorrow?

Ted just stared at the message before replying.

Ted: Sleep, sleep, sleep

The Virgin Mary: PERFECT! You're going to the mall with me and Olivia. Meet us there around noon. Night!

Ted stared at his phone. Did she just plan his whole day for him? Well, at least he can sleep in till noon. At least, that's what he thought. Instead Pip woke him up around 10 by sliding from under his bed and gently creasing his face. Ted just slowly turned to face him and say something but Pip reached over and placed a finger to his lips. He then, softly, placed a neatly stacked pile of clothes on his friend before retreating back under the bed.

"Pompadour." He whispered. Just as he appeared, he was gone. Ted laid in bed and tried to process what was going on. "The hell?" Eventually Ted found the strength to pull himself out of bed and got dressed in the outfit Pip had left behind. A simple white shirt, black button-up, some jeans, and a pair of good old vans. Pip was never complicated with his clothes and it showed even more when he picked out Ted's. He gathered his crap and headed out to the mall. After about 30 minutes he arrived at the entrance to find Eve standing there waiting. She was wearing a light blue shirt tucked into a pair of shorts and her hair was braided to the side. She spotted him and waved with a wide smile. Ted simple returned the gesture, minus the smile.

"Glad you can make it. Olivia should be here soon." Almost as if on cue, Olivia appeared. She wore a white sundress with her hair in a bun. Was she also wearing glasses? Ted blushed at the sight. She just couldn't get cuter could she? Did she have a purse? She had a purse. Why did she have a purse? Doesn't matter. She has one.

"Hey there! We were just waiting for you." Eve greeted. Ted had noticed that the two girls had hit it off pretty well. Someone on the outside looking in would've figured they were best friends honestly. "The walk wasn't too long?" He asked. Yes he was slightly concerned. Someone like her walking alone just spelt trouble. Thankfully Olivia just shook her head.

"Ms. Val and dad brought me." She said pointing at a nearby car. The two teens looked back to see Me. Val giving a friendly wave while Mr. Scaleless gave a 'i'm watching you' gesture to Ted. He just gave an awkward wave while Eve didn't seem to notice. "Alright then. Let's do this!" She said as she dragged the two into the large building.

Jim walked around the hospital while he waited patiently for the doctor to give him the ok to pay a visit. He made his way to the cafeteria to grab some food, he was hungry. As he passed the halls he listened to the familiar sounds of beeping and squeaking from the various rooms and corridors. He passed one room in particular with a woman weeping loudly as she was held back from her husband who was flat lining. Doctor's rushed in as they tried desperately to do what they could. Jim simply stood outside of the room as the woman was carried out. Jim simply lowered his head and said a silent prayer before walking away.

He finally made it to the cafeteria where he grabbed some food. Just a ham sandwich and some chips. He washed it all down with a can of Coke before he looked over to see a young man holding his head. He seemed to be tired as he stared blankly at his tray. Jim recognized him as the same man from the weekend before. He was a new father who had just had a baby girl. Jim briefly wondered why he was still at the hospital a week later but decided he most likely didn't want to know the answer. He watched as a doctor found the man and told him something. The man began to cry. Yeah, he definitely didn't want to know the answer.
