"Hey, have you guys seen Jonah?" Lucia asked, sipping her coffee.
Denny thought for a moment. "I haven't seen him lately. Where has he been?"
"I'm not sure," Monica frowned. "Has anyone tried calling him?"
Lucia and Denny shook their heads.
Monica took out her phone and dialed Jonah's number.
"Hello?" Jonah sighed, picking up the call.
"Hey, Jonah!"
"What's up? Where have you been?"
"Home. I'm afraid that I'm dreadfully ill."
"Oh no!"
"I got poison ivy," Jonah sighed dramatically.
Monica paused. "Poison ivy?
"I think it's fatal," Jonah moaned. "See you guys in my coffin."
"Oh, Jonah," Monica sighed, standing up. "I'll bring you cookies."
"Thanks," Jonah grinned. "See ya in five!"
Monica smiled happily, hanging up the phone and starting towards the coffee shop doors. "Bye, guys!"
"Where are you going?" Lucia frowned.
"Jonah's."
"Oh? Do you plan to drag him over here?"
"No. I am going to take care of him."
"Why?" Denny frowned.
"He has poison ivy."
"So?" Lucia chuckled.
"He needs my help." Monica left quickly.
"Nobody helped me," Danny mumbled.
"I was over at your apartment every day for three weeks," Lucia laughed.
Denny crossed his arms.
Lucia sighed and put a hand on Denny's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
Denny shrugged with a sigh. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Are you sure?" Lucia frowned. "You can always talk to me. You know that."
"I know, but I really am fine. I'm just still kinda embarrassed."
"Honey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about," Lucia said softly.
"My experiment went really wrong. I was so cocky and then I ended up in the hospital."
"That's not your fault."
"Yes it is." Denny looked at her with sad eyes.
"Come here," Lucia sighed, pulling him into a hug. "It's alright, kid. Don't be upset about it."
Denny hugged her back briefly before letting go to finish his latte.
"Listen, knowing Monica, she'll be with him all night. You wanna come out to dinner with me?"
"Sure. We could watch a movie too."
"Perfect," Lucia smiled.
—————
"Hey," Jonah smiled.
"Hey there," Monica smiled brightly, handing him a box of chocolate chip, cocoa cookies. "Your favorites."
"Thanks," Jonah grinned. "How are you?"
"Just fine."
"Yeah...um, would you like to stay? For dinner?"
