Flying Freedom (ON HOLD)

Chapter 26

'Beep! Beep! Beep!'

"Is she okay?"

"I hope we got her out in time!"

"LET ME IN - SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND!!!" Wait... what?!?!? I don't have a boyfriend! Opening my eyes, I look around the room. Or, rather, try to. All I can see are 4 very frightened faces. Four? Where's Twi? Is she invisible? She has magic, so maybe that is possible...

"Stand back everyone! She's awake!" Unicity sighs, pushing the others away.

"Wouldn't that include YOU?" Jackie says, getting an 'Oh, right' from Unicity. Groaning, I push myself up on one arm, and flop down when a searing pain runs through my right temple. If only that would go away. Guess not.

"Where's - " *gasp* "Twi?" I manage through pain. They look worried. Did she -?!?!?

"Don't worry, she's fine. Twi got hurt in the collapse too, so she's your roommate," Flit answers. Turning my head, I glimpse Twi on my left, who then gives a sad smile and waves at me. I wave back, and look around. I'm in a pale white room, covered with streamers and balloons? Peony just smiles. There's also two glittery outfits on a chair. One is purple and pink, while the other is light blue and red. Awwwww how nice! Of course, there are a bucket of apples (a GIANT bucket of apples) and some stuffed animals. Some are a unicorn and a pegasus.

"I CALL THE PEGASUS!!!" I yell, making Twilight grin.

"Great, 'cause I already said the unicorn," she smirks, grabbing it from Flit and giving it a hug. Yeah, the pegasus is like me. We both enjoy flying. I'm just 20% cooler, because I'm a HUMAN! I guess you could just say I'm awesome. Looking at my bedstand (or, whatever you'd call that) I see my guitar! That may come in handy - Twi could sing and I'd play the guitar so we wouldn't be so lonely. Twi squeals - she has a microphone and 2 GIANT speakers. Oooohh buddy, that will be so fun. I just hope the rest of the people in the hospital don't mind. *cough cough* Sighing, I look over to the doorway, seeing Bolt standing there. He is SO not my boyfriend.

"Ms.Dash, will you allow Mr.Bolt into the room?" the doctor asks. Bolt gives me a pouty face.

"Just to be nice.... ummmm.... no," I say, giving an evil grin. Bolt starts to 'fake cry'. "Aggghhhh I was kidding. Sure, whatever, come in," I sigh (again. Wow, this must be boring), raising one eyebrow. He gives an overly exaggerated face, skipping into the room like an incredibly hyper teenage girl. I must say, that was gooooood. Running over, he gives me a hug, which I'd rather didn't happen in the first place. Then, he gives Twi one. Hey, we both are hurt, so we need hugs. Just not from Bolt. Preston runs into the room, shortly before Mitch, Rob, and Jerome follow. All of them are out of breath.

"We..... ran...... all...... of....... the...... way...... here!" Jerome says between gasps.

"Hey, you suggested it, but yet you didn't want to take a walk on the beach with me at 5 am this morning!" Mitch scowls. I guess Jerome wants to sleep. BACCA NEED A NAP! Or just coffee - both work. Jerome just shrugs and smiles innocently. Yup. I thought so. Preston immediately comes over and gives me a hug. Hugging him back, I feel safe - unlike Bolt. Honestly, where did that come from? I know we got hurt, but you barely know me! Preston eventually pulls away, but I can see that he wishes he didn't have to. I feel the same way. Oops, did I just say that out loud?!? Everyone stares at me, mostly with their mouths open. That makes me blush, so grab my wings. I then manage to pull them over my face so no one can see my reaction. Dash! DON'T SAY PERSONAL THINGS OUT LOUD!!! Too late to take it back...

"Ooh, Preston likes Dash and Dash likes PRESTON..." Jerome croons at us. I throw a pillow at him, hitting Mitch in the face instead. The room goes dead silent. Everyone watches Mitch slowly picks up the pillow, and whaps Jerome on the head! Soon, we have a FFA pillow fight raging in the room. Nurses occasionally check in, concerned, but later just laugh when they realize what is going on in here. Pillow fight!!! I grab the closest one next to me and fling it at Twi, who hits it with her arm to block. it goes flying through the air and Rob snatches it before bringing it to meet Jerome's nose. Ahhh yes, the classic nose. No one can forget that. While I was daydreaming, it seems a pile has accumulated on top of me. I whip my arms around, making them go in every direction and managing to hit everyone at once. Shortest pillow fight ever.
