Friday 7 November 2003, by Webmaster

Tru must save a little girl names Samatha and an guy names Nick. Both died at the same scene, from smoke inhalation plus gas fumes. Nick was trying to save a boy from burning to death, while saving him, his leg got stuck in a weak board, and allowed the kid to get to saftey, as he died. True Hero that he was, except, tru didnt see it that way. She heard him call for her (:Help me;) As that she did, she went to him, lied to him just for him to check the apartment building and see if there was any leaking pipes/gas. Sure enough there was. Nick was shocked that she knew this, yet liked her. Later he asked her out. Tru has a hunch that the Landlord wasan arsonest. and brock in his office to see what he had, Sure enough he had one of the chemicals found in Nicks body. As she was in the office, the boy broke in. He was the one Nick saved and Samathas older brother. They went out on a date ( Nick and Tru) and Tru realized as she had a reminder.. thats the girl had some cloth in her nails, which the kid wore, her own brother. it was the brother who started the fire. So Tru rushed to the Apartment and got everyone to saftey, except the boy, and later you find out the little girl. Somewhere in this time, Nick and Tru kissed twice or three times, i cant remember. Not bad for a first date. Anyways... Every repeated itself as ithappened in the beginging, except Tru tells Nick about the weak board. This time as everyones out of the burning building, the screamin paniced mother yelled, Shes in there.. And sure enough tru remined, she under her bed. she tried her best to prevent Nick to going in, but once a fireman, always a fireman.. in the end. he died.. the little girl lived. It was a touching episode, esp at the end, where she goes back to see his dead body, and talkin to him.
