After watching the television for a while, Charles got bored and decided to walk to the art room. He's only painted once since he came to the hospital, and he wanted to paint again, since it's been a while.

He was used to painting landscapes and random abstract. Sometimes abstract landscapes. When he came to the hospital, he packed his brushes with him; he felt comfortable with them since they were made from horse hair and not that artificial stuff. Charlie usually took this stuff seriously.

As he walked through the halls, thinking of what to paint, he finally made it to the doorway of the art room. He turned the knob, and opened the door. As he took a step in, he noticed Skyler and John already there, and quickly backed out and closed the door.

He hoped he hadn't interrupted anything.

John blushed a little, "Nouse being an asshole> he replied while rubbing the back of his head. He had never spent much time with a girl like her... or any girl for that matter. Charles then opened and quickly closed the door. Making John chuckle.

Charles, having nothing to do, went back walking down the hall, when he tripped and fell.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal had been walking through the hallways of the center aimlessly, hoping to find someway to ease his boredom. Suddenly, he heard a loud thump that echoed through the hallway that sent chills through his spine. He yelled outloud,

"W-who is there!?"

[Croaks 251]

Charles got up, his chest hurting all the bit. "Ouch," he said aloud.

He heard Randal yell something about who was there and Charles yelled, "It's alright! Just me, Charlie."

Charlie decided to walk back to his room, to put the brushes up, passing Randal on the way.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal watched Charlie walk away. He began to walk behind him and said,

"You scared the shit out of me!"

[Croaks 251]

Charles stopped and said, "Geez, sorry. People trip you know? I just happened to fall on my chest very painfully when I did."

Charles decided to change the subject, "So," he said, "what're you up to?"

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal raised his eyebrow and he caught up with him. He thought of responding to his rude comment, but looked past it.

"I was doing nothing before I found you, actually."

"I'm gonna step out for a bit!" Katie said, leaving the room. She walked to the art room, disregarding anyone she passed.. She knew Skyler and John would be there. Skyler always hung out in the art room, and John had gone to visit her. Katie pressed her ear against the door, listening. Katie worried about what she might hear.

[Croaks 251]

"Hmm," Charlie said, "I know; I'm going to put these brushes up, then maybe we can head on to the Rec Room. I think Aaron's still up there."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal nodded his head.

"Let's get going then."

[Croaks 251]

Charles, as Randal followed him, walked to his room, tossed the brushes on his bed, and then continued walking to the rec room.

Once there, Charles noticed Aaron, doing whatever. Charlie sat in a couch, rubbing his head; for some reason, he had a horrible, buzzing headache. Then it went away, wierd. "Well," Charles said to Randal, "What do you wanna do?"

[MachineGunLola 408]

Skyler jumped when Charles opened the door.

"Ooh! Um, we-"

He closed the door quickly, cutting her off.

She sighed in relief.

"I just hope that he doesn't think we were doing anything- I mean, we- we, aren't..."

She stared at John.

He was sooo cute...

She blushed again and smiled.

"Not to say.. I wouldn't WANT to do anything.."

She giggled.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal sat on the opposite side of the couch, looking around the rec room. He softly said,

"Not the faintest clue. I'm new, remember?"

[Croaks 251]

"Oh yeah," Charles said.

He looked around, and said, "Well, there's ping pong and TV. Or at least that's what everyone does besides standing in corners."

Charlie looked at the remote and and held it. He switched the television on and flipped through some channels to some nighttime, comedy, talk show thing. He offered the remote to Randal and said, "Here, change it to whatever you want."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal took the remote in his hands and stared at all the buttons. He did not know which to press, so he pressed the button that said -randomize- Within seconds, channels began to roll by, until it stopped on a single channel. The logo showed that it was the hub, and that My little pony was started. Randal turned his head to face Charlie and said,

"Can we..?"

[Croaks 251]

Charles smiled and said, "Hell yes."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal smiled back at him and laid back on the couch as the opening sequence played. Usually Randal would feel awkward if someone knew he watched the show, but he felt as if Charlie did as well. After the main song ended, the episode "Green isn't your color" started to play with Rarity on the screen. Randal then turned his head to face Charlie and said,

"So, whose your favorite pony...?"

[Croaks 251]

Charlie looked up and thought a bit, then said, "Well, it's kind of hard to decide. But I'd have to maybe settle on Pinkie Pie."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Randal smiled at him and said,

"So I was right. You're a pony fan, aren't you?"

[Croaks 251]

"Yeah, definitely," Charles said, "It's hard to find somebody who watches the show, though."

Michelle sat quietly, not even saying a word upon Katie's departure. Andrea rubbed against Michelle for attention. Michelle forced Andrea's head into her lap and ran her fingers through her hair; rubbed behind her ears as well. "Good kitty kitty." "Am I pretty?" "The prettiest." Michelle spoke without emotion, her eyes fixated on the door. "Katie is a good kitty. We can trust her. She can live." Andrea looked up at Michelle, "and Skyler?" Michelle smiled.

Michelle pushed Andrea away gently. "I have some business to attend to." Michelle walked out of the room, smiling. She approached Katie and Charles standing outside the art room. "They in there?" Katie nodded. "Stay here, Katie. When I yell, lock the door." Michelle dropped a small silver key into Katie's palm and entered the door, closing the door behind her.

Horror filled Sykler's face as Michelle sauntered into the room. "Hey guys! Great night for art, eh?" Michelle was smiling, fake as usual. "Oh Skyler. You don't seem happy to see me." Skyler hide behind John a little. "Awh. Did you find your flavour of the week borderline?" John looked confused. "Oh the fucking cock-sucker didn't tell you? Tsk tsk Skyler." Michelle pouted her lips and shook her head. "Little Skyler here fucks anything with a dick. She meets a guy, claims she's madly in love and then humps any guy that walks by here. Well she tries anyway, not even the Grinch would enter that ceasepool. Everyone! A slow clap for trying." Michelle clapped loudly and slowly. "You're so stupid John. You know why you go to her? Because she's weak and you want to help her. That's all you do with girls John, try to help them. You think you care, but really you're just trying to make yourself feel better about all the people you've hurt. Why don't you help them John? That innocent little boy you beat up, will never walk again. Go help him John. Give him the legs he'll never have. Endure the years of rejection and ridicule. Go John, help. Oh right, you're too pussy shit to do anything." Michelle picked up a small pair of safety scissors and smashed the end against the cement floor, creating a sharp jagged end. Skyler screamed for the nurse. Nurse Jackie entered the room. "Katie now!" Katie was afraid to act, but did. She was more afraid of Michelle than solitary. "Let's dance big boy." John began to hyperventilate as he fell to the ground. Michelle beelined towards Skyler, moving faster than light itself. Michelle kicked Skyler in the stomach, Skyler spat up blood and fell to the ground. Michelle walked over to Skyler and held her up by the back of her head. John looked over, tears in his eyes. "Boy howdy am I glad you guys made friends!" Skyler and John were confused. "Because now this is gunna hurt even more." Michelle looked down at the cowering Skyler, "are you going to kill me?" "I'm just gunna gut you like the fucking swine you are." And with that Michelle stuck her shank into Skyler mouth and tore open the side of her face. Blood sprayed all over Michelle body. "Bleed bitch bleed!"

Randal smiled back at him.

"Back in highschool I was bullied all the time for it. People obviously knew my own sexuality more than I do, apparently."

[Croaks 251]

Charlie chuckled at Randal's statement and said, "I actually know how you feel in a way. In the army, a few guys teased me for being a fan, however, a few friends got into the show as well."

 

All of a sudden, Charles heard screaming. Loud, loud screaming. He looked at Randal and Aaron and said, "Guys, what was that? Let's go!"

Charles got up and stumbled out the doorway with the two others trailing behind him. He ran as fast as he could to the source of the sound.

Randal had hoped the screaming he heard in the back of his head was only his imagination like usual. He had learned to ignore it, but now he knew that this was really happening. He quickly jumped up and ran behind up Charles and followed suit.
