Back at the hospital...

Zane, Cole and Lloyd were standing in the empty waiting room when Kai entered. "Finally..." Lloyd started, before trailing off as Naomi and her cousins followed Kai in. His mouth popped open as his eyes swept over Olivia. "H...hello..." he stammered, blushing slightly. The boy beside her put his arm around he shoulders and pulled her tightly against him. She succeed him off her and took a step forward. "Greetings," she smiled. "Who are your friends, Kai?" Zane asked, nudging Lloyd warningly. Kai coughed, then gestured to the three teens behind him. "This is Naomi and her cousins, Olivwe and Olivia..." "That's a pretty name," Lloyd said. Olivia blushed and smiled. "What's up with their faces?" Cole asked. The four froze. They had almost forgotten about the burns. Olivia stepped back into Oliver's arms, hiding her burns into his chest. Lloyd punched Cole's arm. "Ow!" Cole scowled, rubbing his arm. "Leave them be," Lloyd growled, "She's beautiful!" Both he and Olivia blushed at his remark. Kai cleared his throat. "As I was saying," he continued in annoyance as all eyes turned to him, "This is Olivia, the girl who attacked Nya." They stared at Olivia disbelievingly. "No way," Lloyd muttered. Kai nodded and the room fell into a heavy silence. "What's wrong with her?" Zane looked at Kai a he spoke. Kai took a step forward. "Nya. You Todd Mr to come and I came. Now spill." Zane bit his lip, then beckoned for them to follow. He took Cole's hand and lead the group back to Nya's room. Kai looked to the bed in confusion. It was empty. Where was Nya? He turned to ask the Zane, but he, Lloyd and Cole had disappeared. He pushed passed Naomi and ran into the hallway. "Zane! Cole? Where'd you go?" he shouted. He got no reply. He turned to ask Naomi and her cousins if they had seen the boys sneak off, but they too were gone. Kai frowned. What was going on? He walked back into the room and gasped as he saw a familiar figure standing with his back to Kai. "Jay!" he called as he walked closer, "Where's Nya?" Jay giggled, but it was a feminine giggle. He turned to face Kai and Kai's eyes widened. His sister smiled at him cheekily. He rubbed his eyes, but she was still there. "N...Nya!? What if going on?" he shouted in confusion. Nya smiled and stepped forward to hug him. After a minute, she spoke.

"Wake up, Kai."
