Second Chances

Hike

Hana stood atop of a mountain, looking down at her companions. "Come on!" Hana yelled, "You can do it!" Molly caught her breath as she finally got on top of the mountain, Hana gave her a high five, "Good job, Mols!"

Molly ties her hair in a ponytail and stood beside Hana, "Thanks. That was a workout. How are you not gasping for air?"

Hana smiles, "'Cause..."

Just then Chase and Gert walked up and stood by Hana and Molly. "Hey..." Chase smiled breathlessly.

Victor and Janet are jogging up, side by side. "Where's Alex?" Victor asked.

"Not here yet." Chase replied.

Hana sat down on a rock, "Where the hell is Nico?" Hana checks her watch just as Nico breathlessly jogging towards them.

"Imma coming!" Nico gasped for air.

"Where are our parents?" Hana asked.

"Mom tripped, fell, and scraped her knees... dad is carrying her here." Nico sat beside her sister.

Chase looks out, "It's Wilder!" he calls out.

And sure enough, Alex was smiling as he walked towards them.

Molly stood up and calls out, "Stacey and Dale!"

"Dad and mom?" Hana sighs and stops as she saw Robert's arm had blood stains. "Is dad bleeding?" Hana turns to her sister.

As they all got to the top, Robert puts Tina down beside Nico. Hana cringed as she saw the gash of wound on her mother's leg.

"Anyone got a bandaid?" Robert asked.

Hana dug her hands in her hoodie pocket and there a single unopened tampon. "I have a tampon."

"Great," Stacey nodded, "open it, take it out of the applicator, and unroll it..."

Hana did just that. Stacey took the unrolled tampon and placed it over Tina's wound. "Hana, sweetheart, apply pressure." Stacey ordered. Hana did just that. Stacey went over to Dale who was trying to find tape.

"Someone should really call a doctor." Nico suggested, "A doctor who went to med school in the current century..."

Hana frowns, "Fine, Nics, hold." Nico took her sister's place, as Hana dialed. When the dial tone died, Hana began, "Andre, my mom's hurt... we were hiking on the trail... and according to Nico, she fell and now has an open wound. We got no bandages or any medical equipment, so, we used a tampon to dress the wound and duct tape to keep it in place. We now need a helicopter." Hana ends the call and looks at a tree, smiling she walked towards it a heart with:

HM

inside of it was carved on the tree with a bunch of other hearts.

"You okay, kid?" Robert asked.

Hana nods, "It's just this place..."

Then a rope dangled beside Hana, making both father and daughter look up; a small plane, Hana shook her head. "Still can't land a plane..." Hana grabs the rope.

"You're not going up there." Robert stated.

"Okay," Hana steps back, "does anyone know how to land a plane and oh passed the rope in PE?" Hana looks at everyone, "Okay, then." Hana begins to climb the rope, once she made it to the top she entered the plane and made her way to the cockpit. "Thanks for coming."

"Thanks for climbing up." Andre smiled.

Hana sighs and sat on the pilot seat and takes control landing the plane.

"I know why Hana loves that trail..." Chase said in a playful manner.

Hana sighs, "So how's the family?"

Andre smirks, "They're good."

Hana looks at the mirror, "Mom, how's the wound? And please, take your time explaining it..."

"Painful." Tina stated. "I wanna know why you love the trail so much?"

Hana sighs, "Nico, how's the training?"

"Fine." Nico nods.

"Are all of you just giving me one word answers so that I'll explain?" Hana questions.

"Pretty much," Molly nods, "yeah."

"That was where Andre took me on our first date." Hana admitted.

"Aww!" Janet sighs, "How old were you?"

"15ish..." Hana replied. "I got creative with my lies, that year..."
