Being in the hospital for a few hours was already more than Samuel desired to be there. His hazel eyes darkened with annoyance. "Can't I just go? My headache is gone." The nurse chuckled at him. "You can't just up and leave, you could get sick again. You need to stay here for a bit longer. You're not out of the woods yet."

Samuel slapped his knee in frustration, thinking "I will never find her if I don't start looking." He then laughed under his breath, thinking it was ironic the nurse mentioned the woods. He shook his head again then, thinking he'd really lost it this time. "Yes Samuel, you are going to walk out of this hospital bed, into busy streets of California, and find a random mystical forest with a princess standing nearby. My mind is its own entity, obviously."

Michaela was at the hotel, laying in her bed sadly. Grey clouds often came without reason or warning, and kept her feeling under the weather emotionally. As she went for her choice of method, she found all her drawings lying underneath it. Rather than using it she pulled the drawings out, taking a good look at them. "It can't be though...it's just a dream. Another silly dream I have. As usual I look ridiculous." She threw them into the trash bin and went to her bed again.

Samuel was finally released from the hospital. "Make sure you take these or that headache will come back!" The nurse lectured him. He just waved, he'd probably forget until his head was throbbing terribly. His first job was not home, but to search around. "I'm going mad...to be looking for a girl I only saw in my dream...but I will accept my insanity." He ran up the sidewalk, hoping to find a glimpse of something more.
