When Kimberly walked to the kitchen, smiling, she got her water. Then, she remembered something important.
She gets sick when she's scared.
Kimberly was careful when she was still in the kitchen, her legs getting wobbly. But, she gave in, carefully lowering to the floor. Then, soon, all she could see was black. All she could hear were the boys shouting, wanting her to wake up.

"Boop. Boop. Boop. Boo- ow!" She could hear Matt playing around, and someone hit her. Tom. Her eyes flashed open, and the boys were hovering over her- Well, standing somewhere in the room- talking. "U-uh... What happened?" She said, drowsy. "Well, you passed out on the kitchen floor. That's one thing, the other thing... Is that you hit you head REEAALLY hard on the counter in the process." Tom explained.
Tord walked over. "Hey, you are ok? Right?" Tord asked. Kimberly giggled a little on the inside, seeing as how he asked so innocently as his eyes were sparkling in front of her.

"Ah- yeah. I'm fine... I just... I get really sick if I'm scared." She stumbled over her words. "Well, good. I'm gonna get you a glass of water." Edd said.
He ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass if water. When he gave it to Kimberly, he was careful. But she couldn't hold it, she was so weak. It spilled on the floor. There was a roll of paper towels on the stand, so Kimberly grabbed them and handed them to Tom. He took them carefully and started to wipe the floor clean. Tord decided that he should do something to help. "Uh... I think I have to go to the bathroom." She said. So Tord picked her up carefully and walked over to the bathroom. Tord walked out of the bathroom, waiting outside. Matt went and helped Tord guard the door. They waited for her to be done, and when they heard the doorknob click, they grabbed her arms gently and carefully walked to the bed. As Kimberly laid down on the bed, sheets wrinkled a bit, Tord and the other were telling her a prayer:
                                    "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray, thee Lord my soul to keep. Guide me safely through the night, wake me with the morning light."
In the end, the boys had left Kimberly to sleep. They had sung that song before, because Tord had thought them. Kimberly had remembered that day, it was one of the most important days in their history.
She teared up, and said softly to herself, "Amen."
