young again

back to the present.

"See, he is awake, all he needed was a bit of a nap, That bump on his head should go down in a couple of days, Can you hear me Mr Penniman?" A mans voice echo'd around Mika's head as his vision came into focus. He was in a hospital room, Yasmine, Paloma,Zuleika and Fortune all sat at the edge of his bed eyes fixed on him. He looked at them, they looked like how they did in 2022. He sighed a  sigh of relief but couldnt help but miss his Mom in that moment.

"I'm Ok guys, I'm ok. has Andy been able to get here?" he rubbed his eyes and yawned. "You will not believe the crazy dream I've had!" he smiled weakly. 

"I'll go get the discharge papers." the doctor smiled and walked out the room leaving the siblings alone.

"Mika, you thought you were A kid again, We thought you'd lost 30 years of your life!" Paloma cried as she ran up to her brother and hugged him tightly. "we were just about to break the news but you're ok! we have our Mika back!" she smiled with tears in her eyes.

"I'm back more than ever, that dream I had really helped me realise how far I've come and how much your support means to me, thank you everyone. Thank you Mom." he looked out the rooms window up to the sky and smile weakly but lovingly, remembering the last few entrances she had said to him in his dream. maybe it really was her in that dream. he swung his legs round and stood up, this time avoiding the light-shade to peer out the window.

"Hey look, theres a sign with my name on it! We have to go downstairs and say thank you and that i'll be back on stage ASAP!" He smiled looking down at the small crowd of fans camping outside the hospital. "Paloma, Yasmine, Zuleika and Fort, C'mon!" He jumped up and down as he rushed out the hospital room still in his hospital Pjs with his siblings running behind him. 

He ran out the entrance where his fans cheered and took pictures. "Thank you everyone, I was stuck in the past but now I'm ok, thank you to my sisters and brother and my Dad and above all my Mom whos always looking out for me. Thank you!" He smiled ear to ear.

Italy,Turin, May 2022

"Just a couple more seconds Andy, I'm trying to get the internet to work on my phone, theres no signal up here!" Mika leaned against Andys Land Rover as the search results kept failing to load. "These last few weeks I've needed answers to whether or not what I experienced is real and i need to find out!" Mika held his phone in the air, desperate to get a signal up on the hill looking over Turin but to no avail.

"It can wait, C'mon if you take much longer we wont have enough time for a jog before the Eurovision rehearsals." Andy huffed as he stretched his arms and legs and warmed up "Plus you've gone through like 10 pages of results so far and nothing, maybe the stress is getting to you." Mika put his phone in the car and joined Andy on their early morning Jog as a low battery warning flashed on the screen.

Just as they got out of sight the phones results finally loaded.

8 year old Mica Penniman performs a song called Grace kelly. Popped up on the screen as the phone ran out of charge.
