Back at the Stampy Residence, everything was normal, pretty much. Amy and Squid were talking normally, not fighting, and Stampy was happy, not mad or angry. He was looking around for Lee, calling his name and everything. He knew it was quite late for a walk, wondering why Lee would even want too at this time. Stampy looked out the window and saw a trail of torches. He tilted his head and got his weapons, then went to follow it.

He looked around, blinking confusedly when the torches were almost out, meaning they had to of been there for a while. He saw something laying on it's side in the distance and thought it might've been an injured animal. He ran over and looked at it confusedly. It didn't look like an animal he had seen in the wild. He grabbed one of the torches and shined it on it. The animal had been cut open and lacerated, hold on...

Stampy's eyes widened and he looked to the thing's side, where a sword was laying. He put a hand over his mouth, too shocked to think about anything. He pulled the 'person' close and looked around, seeing bloody footprints around. He looked down at their face and confirmed it to be Lee. He shook his head. "Lee Bear!" He said, trying to get him to wake up. He panted and almost started to cry.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, c-c'mon Lee!" He pleaded, holding him close and looking around for anything that could help. He huffed when he didn't find anything. He looked back down at Lee and tried to wake him up. After a minute of pleading, Stampy felt Lee stir in his arms. Stampy stared hopefully; he saw two blue eyes open, and he smiled knowing that Lee was alright.

Lee looked up at him confusedly. "Stamps...?" He whispered, looking around. Stampy nodded. "Y-Yeah, Lee, it's me!" He said, looking down at him in a fearful way. "What happened!?" He asked. Lee looked up at him and put a hand on the ground. "I fought him..." He said. Stampy blinked. "Who? You fought who?" He asked confusedly, looking around to see if he could find anyone.

"Hit..." Lee said, quietly as if someone could hear. Stampy's eyes widened and he bit his lip. They made it back to the house, but soon after Stampy decided to take Lee to the hospital. He paced around until a nurse came out and told him he could come in. Stampy rushed in and looked to the bed, where Lee was laying down. Stampy smiled and ran over. "Lee Bear!" He said happily, holding his paw. Lee smiled and held Stampy's as well.

"I couldn't wait to see you!" He marveled. "I couldn't wait to see you either, Stamps..." He mumbled, probably drugged out of his mind. Stampy chuckled and squeezed his paw. A nurse came in and smiled. "Can we speak to you...privately...?" She asked. Stampy confusedly nodded. "I'll be right back, Lee." He said and got up. He walked to the nurse, who led him out of the room and closed the door.

She looked to Stampy. "He...uh..." She stammered. "Well...the odds are...he won't make it." She said. Stampy stared at her confusedly. "What? You're joking." He chuckled nervously. She shook her head. Stampy looked threw the window to Lee's room. "...how long until-...?" Stampy trailed off. She sighed. "Four days." She said. Stampy nodded and thanked her before going back in Lee's room.

"Lee Bear?" He whispered, unsure if he was asleep or not. Lee looked up at him. He was awake. Stampy smiled sadly and walked to him, sitting down in the visitor's chair. "Lee Bear...um, I..." He looked away. He didn't want to tell him. "I just wanted to say, I love you. A lot." He said, looking awfully sad as he held Lee's paw again. Lee smiled and held Stampy's back.

"I love ya too, Stampy..." He said quietly, closing his eyes and squeezing Stampy's paw. Stampy smiled and kissed his forehead. He leaned back and chuckled quietly.
