You are escorted into a bathroom where you are changed into hospital pjs. You are wheeled into your room that you share with 3 other girls. Beverly, who has blonde hair and looks like a sugar cookie. She is very sweet. Dena, has black scraggly hair that covers her face. She certainly has a back bone. Pearl, is the oldest with blonde hair and always acts like she is in charge. An old nurse named Nurse Marshall takes your stuffed bear named Francy and throws her into a metal bin
