Gene pov:

That week was depressing. Specially for me.

On Sunday morning, I recieved news about Ruby's state.

At 9 a.m. we were going to the hospital.

The same doctor was there.

"She's going to wake up soon, you should enter" she said.

We came in. There was Ruby, surrounded by advanced technology that she problably would never understand.

Ruby pov:

I had weird dreams. The weirdest one was about Gene crying... for me!

I felt a strange presence in front of me.

I slowly opened my eyes. At first it was all blury, but then I saw my friends. They were staring at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" I asked. They didn't answer. "What's wrong with you three?!?!"

Gene looked me in the eyes. "What do you remember?" "The last thing I rememeber was entering a room. The Black Baron and Fourchesac were in there. The Baron said: "DO SOMETHING!!" and Fourchesac shook his magic staff... I don't know what happened next".

They listened patiently to every detail. Alex came closer and he held my hand. I didn't complain, I knew he was worried for me.

"You've been here for a week" he said. That was new. I had noticed that I was in Technopolis and not in Kingsland, but that shocked me. A week? Really?

Gene approached to me. "I really need to talk to you. Alone" he said. I realised what he wanted and asked the others to go out for a few minutes.

Gene started to talk.

Alex pov:

I couldn't believe that Ruby had just done that. After a week without seeing us.

"What if I enter?" I asked.

"I think you should't" Twinkle repied.

I didn't listen to her and I opened the door. Ruby and Gene didn't notice that.

"What can I do now?" Gene asked.

"At this point I think that you should buy a special gift" Ruby answered.

She turned around and saw me at the door. Twinkle was lying down on a chair.

"Come in and close the door" Ruby ordered.

I did it.

"Alex, if you tell Twinkle or anyone what you saw, I swear that you'll regret it" she adviced.

Ruby scared me. As usual.

Gene was silent in the other side of the room.

I came out and closed the door. I didn't understand what had happened there, but when Twinkle asked me, I instinctively replied: "Gene loves Ruby".
