Aunt Garnet said it would take me several days to regain my strength. I believed her, it was exhausting just getting out of bed. My whole body felt like I was recovering from being sick, yet my mind was active and aware, urging me to stop acting like a lump and get out. I ended up finding an easy medium, spending most of my recovery watching SpaceTrek or the Cretaceous Campground trilogy. The rest of the time I was sleeping.

I felt a small paw touch my nose during one of my long rejuvenating naps. I thought it was Freckles trying to get my attention. He took his regular spot on my pelvis, the eventually moved up my belly, to my chest, and now he was right against my face swatting me in the nose.

I swear this crazy cat....

"Hey." Amethyst meowed in my ear, swatting me again with her paw.

"Are you serious.." I pushed her off me. "What's your deal with messing with me when I'm trying to sleep?"

My cousin laughed and shapeshifted to her normal form. "I can't help it lil' cuz, you're so adorable. You were smiling again." she made a devilish grin. "What were you dreaming about?"

"Nothing." I said, suppressing the blush.

"Don't lie Nora Beans." she smirked, poking my cheeks. "It was about Selene wasn't it?"

"No it wasn't!" I denied vehemently.

My Gem cousin laughed. "You're such a liar."

"Okay it was." I admitted. "But not what you think. I was seeing through her eyes the way Dad sometimes does with me. Totally by accident. She was training with Aunt Pearl on the the Sky Arena. I wasn't even me, I was fully her in body in mind and the reason I was smiling in my sleep because she was getting perfect shots on target practice."

"But that's not why you're blushing." Amethyst patted my shoulder. "C'mon Nora. It's okay to admit it. You like her. You're attached to the hip whenever she's around and you're both very close."

"Well duh." I gestured my shard.

"Nah, even before that." She nudged me. "Just tell her how you feel."

I heard the warp pad activate and felt the pull on my chest. "Hi Nora. How are you feeling?" Aunt Pearl touched my forehead. "Hmm. You're a little warm." "I'm fine Aunt Pearl, it's just a little warm in here." I blushed embarrassed. I swear she's like my second mom.

"She is." Selene reassured me. "I know." She deactivated her arm cannon and looked over me. "You're feeling better aren't you?" "Yes." I yawned. "A little less tired every day." I felt it was right to admit it to her. "Selene I was was dreaming through your eyes."

"I know." She answered unsurprised. "I sensed your presence in the back of my mind."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, it just happened I wasn't trying to spy on you." "I know." Selene replied. "It's all right, I don't mind it at all, it gives me reassurance knowing you are safe and comfortable."

Amethyst nudged me and I forcefully nudged her back.

"You were right to leave her in Amethyst's protection." Selene told Aunt Pearl. "She is safe with her as she is with us." Her grey eyes casted over us. "You and her have a very close bond." "Nora and I go way back." Amethyst wrapped her arm around my shoulders. " And I mean way waaay back, back to day one."
