Choice+2+Save+your+Friend

You start to lose your insanity. How could I ever be so selfish as to keep going while my best friend is practically dieing at my feet? You have made up your mind, for good! You motion to Dr. Frankenburger, whose currently fumbling in his bag of science tricks, to aid you in helping Skeeter to his feet. The both of you pull Skeeter up from the sandy ground and swing his arms around your shoulders, starting to drag him across the sand, back in the direction that the 3 of you started to begin with. Skeeter slowly turns his head towards you and your eyes meet. His face is so pale and blue and he is breathing rather slowly. Through all of his pain, he shoots you one of those smiles. A weak one, but a smile at best, and it makes you feel better, as it always does.

After walking so far that you feel your legs are about to give way, you find the first sign of life; another scientist sleeping in his jeep. You walk past his piles of equipment strown all around the car as you walk up to the driver's window. You knock hard on the window, giving the man inside a bit of a fright, knocking his head on the ceiling. Skeeter lets out what sounds like a giggle. The man stumbles out of the car, knocking down some of his equipment in the process. You explain to the strange man of your dreadful situation. He starts to laugh to himself, but you shoot him a puppy-dog look, and he finally gives in. Both you and Dr. Frankenburger gently put Skeeter into the car and climb in after him.

You sigh in relief. Maybe things will turn out alright after all. The jeeps presses on for miles and miles. You plead to the driver to take you to the nearest hospital, who eventually agrees and mumbles to himself about how this is such a waste of his precious time. You arrive to a hospital quicker than you would have thought and you run into the building and approch the front desk, asking for someone to help you! A team of doctors head out the door, dragging a streacher, and stop at the jeep. The team swiftly puts Skeeter on the streacher and pulls him inside and into the first room on the left. You and Dr. Frankenburger try to run in the room, but you know the only possible thing you can do is wait.

So you wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more. The clocks seems to go by so slow, until finally the door opens. Sure enough, Skeeter steps out and gives you one of those famous smiles! The two of you embrace each other and cheer in happiness. You see Dr. Frankenburger smile a thankful smile and you finally feel at ease. Sooner than you know it, the three of you are on a plane, heading back home to the windy city of Chicago. The flight is quiet and short, but you all walk off the plane as if you had just had the best conversation of your life. The three of you exit the airport and jump into Dr. Frankenburgers car and start the journey back home. Skeeter and his father drop you off at your house. You wave goodbye to your best friend and you start up the stairs to your front door.

As you walk in, you hear the sound of your parents sreaming and yelling. Where have you been? Do you know how much trouble you are in? You don't pay it any mind and you head up the stairs to your room. You lie down on the bed, which at the moment seems like the most comfortable thing in the world. Who cares if you didn't meet a genie? You went on a crazy adventure, full of twists and turns and lots of trouble! Besides, you have the two things that will keep you happy: your best friend, and lots of memories. Thats all you could ask for, right? THE END
