Hiro ran up onto the stage as he had the microphone in his hand.

His cheeks still flushed from the recent events.

He swallowed the saliva in his mouth out of nervousness.

"H-Hi, my names Hiro--" Suddenly a loud screeching noise echoes out making everyone block their ears.

I give him a thumbs up as he looks down at me.

I mouth to him, 'It'll be alright. Calm down.'

"Uh, s-sorry...My name is Hiro Hamada." He starts again only less nervous this time as he begins to explain his invention.

--•°•--
After Hiro's showcase
--•°•--

Talking with the gang they all compliment me and Hiro when Mr.Krei comes over.

He tries to bargain with Hiro to buy his microbots when Mr. Callaghan comes over and tries to persuade him.

"I'm sorry Mr.Krei. But my microbots aren't for sale." During the conversation Mr.Krei had asked to look at one of Hiro's microbots.

He tried to walk away when I spoke up.

"Mr.Krei, that's Hiro's microbot you have in your hand. Is it not?" He turns around and glares at me as he apologizes.

He hands the microbot to Hiro as Mr.Callaghan smiles at Hiro.

"Excellent job." He hands Hiro an acceptance letter as he beams with happiness.

"What about me? Did I get in?" Mr.Callaghan gives me a glare as I stutter out, "D-Did I get in?" His glare only narrows on me as he asks, "And why should I give you one?"

I'm taken aback by his question as I stare at him in disbelief.

Cameron comes over and sets a hand on my shoulder as he booms, "Her invention could save millions and your asking her why?"

Honey continues for him,
"Her watch has a built in robot that knows hundreds of fighting techniques and intel on health care."

Fred,
"Her watch can scan footprints and handprints."

Gogo even helps,
"Dematerialize the body and materialize it somewhere else. No one else has ever been able to do that."

Wasabi too,
"Make a person invisible."

And to top it off, Hiro helped too.
"A life size hologram."

After what all of the gang had said, I'd practically been in tears.

They were helping me get into my dream school.

And I hadn't even known them that long.

"Sigh, I suppose." He hands me the acceptance letter as I jump in happiness.

Immediately I hug Cameron as tears of joy well up in my eyes.

I quickly blink them away as we begin to talk.

After some time of talking, Aunt Cass and the rest decide to go outside.

"You coming?" Looking up Cameron's standing there waiting as I nod.

"Yeah. Lemme go to the restroom first."

I go into the ladies room as I go to the sink and stare at myself in the mirror smiling.

Suddenly I start to smell smoke and I hear frantic screams.

Immediately I run out the door as people are fleeing the building.

Smoke fills the room as fire is spreading.

Looking to my right, Mr.Callaghan has a match in his hand.

The smoke starts to get to me as I cough and cough.

My lungs burn as my eye sight starts to get blurry.

It's getting harder for me to breath.

Quickly I run out the doors when Tadashi and Cameron run to the building.

I go to stop them when they go inside and the building explodes.

The impact sends me flying down about 20 feet as I'm met with the cold hard concrete.

My vision blacks out.

Suddenly feeling someone shaking me I open my eyes to see tears running down Hiro's face.

Immediately knowing what's going on I sit up and look at the building.

The whole building is on fire as my eyes are open wide.

"No no no no no no...CAMERON!!!" I jump to my feet as I go to run when I'm held back by a pair of strong arms.

Tears stream down my cheeks as I keep reaching for the building.

Every bone in my body hurts and my lungs are burning still.

I continue to reach for the building until I sink to the ground.

Sirens blaze through the air as I sit there crying my heart out at the devastation.

"Cameron...!"

I go to get up as I set my wrist down when pain shoots through my wrist.

Wincing in pain I pull it back holding it.

An few ambulances stops and as paramedics rush out to people.

A few come over to me and Hiro.

"Are you two okay?" I can't answer as I stare at the burning building.

Smelling something like iron I look down as blood drips onto my hand.

Bringing my good hand to my mouth, I feel blood dripping.

At this moment I care for nothing.

People start to shake me but I don't hear anything.

Static fills my ears as my vision blurs.

I start to breath heavier as my chest gets tight.

The pain spreads to my whole body as my vision fades to black.

"She stopped breathing!" Is the last thing I hear.
