Linh POV:

Linh sat on her couch with a clipboard. "So Dex, you're on cake duty, and Biana, balloon duty." She scanned the room, all her friends were sitting here. Even Tam. Wylie wasn't here though, and that was good. They were planning a surprise party because... Wylie was healed! Well almost. He was getting his last pill tomorrow! Yay!

   "Ok!" Biana and Dex said unanimously and fist bumped.

   "Jinx! You have to buy me a Prattles!" Biana pointed at Dex.

  Dex sighed, "Of course I do."

"Um.. Linh? Is it ok if I bring my girlfriend?" Maruca looked up with a shy smile.

Everyone turned and looked at her with surprised smiles.

"You have a girlfriend?! Yes! Of course you can bring her! The more people the better!" Linh smiled to herself. This party was going to be perfect.

Wylie POV:

"One more day of misery." Wylie said aloud.

"This is misery!" Livvy (the senior physician) joked. "I thought I was good company!"

"You are but being sick isn't." Wylie explained.

"Trust me kid, I get it. When you first got sick I didn't sleep for a week." Livvy stirred together two elixirs. One yellow, one red.

Once she finished, she brought over a disgusting carrot orange potion. "Drink up."

Wylie shuddered. He took a big swig and discovered, even for the horrible look, it wasn't that bad. It tasted kind of like prattles mixed with Custard bursts.

"See, not that bad huh. Not misery at all." Livvy winked and took away the bottle.

Linh burst through the doors. "Am I too late! Did I miss the last pill!" She was wearing a pastel pink just above the knees dress with random patches of bright colors of the rainbow. It was beautiful. She was beautiful.

"No, don't worry. You get to see little Wylie boy suffer one more time." Livvy appeared again with a bottle of youth and a small lavender pill. That pill might have looked harmless. But the amount of medicine and sun rays that were put in that little pill should have been illegal. Swallowing that thing was like shoving a molten hot mouse down your throat.

"Lucky you, you get to watch your crush suffer." He smiled halfheartedly.

"Oh, poor thing." Linh sat down next to him, clutching his hand.

Livvy handed me the pill and the bottle. He held the pill above my mouth. "Wish me luck!" Wylie dropped it into his mouth and then chugged half of the bottle of youth. The pill slowly went down his throat. It seemed to be burning hot, scratching at his throat. Demanding to return. He swallowed hard and drank the rest of the bottle. It begrudgingly went down his throat.

He opened my eyes, he hadn't even realized that he had closed them. Linh was still sitting right next to him, smiling.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yep." He replied.

"Great! Get changed." Linh pushed him off the bed.

"What do you mean?" Wylie questioned.

"Get changed. It's a surprise." Linh said.

"Ah, how I love young love." Livvy looked off wistfully and left the room.

"Wylie! Here are your clothes! It's so sad you have to leave!" Naria burst into Wylie's room. She looked so happy to see him but narrowed her eyes at Linh.
She held out the fancy tunic he had first came in with. Before he had to change into the hospital pajamas.

Wylie grasped the clothes and smiled. "Thanks Naria."

He headed into the bathroom and locked the door. He hurriedly put on his old clothes. He came out, finally feeling like himself after a year of torture.

"Okay. I'm ready!" Wylie held out his arm for Linh. She took it.

"Bye Wylie." Naria's face turned sour and she walked off.

"Bye." He wistfully called after her. He hadn't meant to make her feel sad.

Wylie POV (continued)

  Underneath the blindfold, it was dark. Linh had made him put it on. Judging by the sudden flash in light not so long ago, they had already traveled by pathfinder.

  Linh pushed him, so he began walking. Following Linh's lead, she had one hand on his hand. Wylie could feel his cheeks turning a pale pink.

She laughed aloud and Wylie straightened up suddenly. What was she laughing about?

Then she pulled off his blindfold and dazzling light blinded him. As he regained his vision he saw what she was laughing at. Biana was hugging Tam whose cheeks had turned a vermillion red, in an all glass room.

"Thanks Tam!"Biana said.

"For, for what?" Tam stuttered.

"You know! Letting Linh and Wylie be happy together!" She replied to Tam.

Both Linh and Tam's cheeks turned scarlet.

"You know. Whatever I can do to help." Tam ran a hand through his hair.

Linh laughed again. "It's not everyday I can see my brother be this nervous."

Dex elbowed Keefe who was holding something together with Fitz.

"Ow! What was that for." Keefe yelped.

Dex gestured with his head to Wylie and Linh.

"Oooh." Keefe said.

Then he and Fitz pulled out a banner saying Surprise Wylie, you're healed! It was obviously written in Linh's handwriting but Wylie didn't care.

Marella turned on music and Keefe dropped the banner and grabbed Sophie.

  "Come on Foster! Time to dance." Keefe smirked.

  Sophie let herself be dragged on the dance floor and she and Keefe started doing an elaborate peppy dance routine.

  Linh smiled, grabbed Wylie and they all started dancing.

  "Hi everyone. Meet Willow, my girlfriend. I hope we're not too late." Maruca entered the room with a slim girl who had skin the color of milk chocolate and long black hair braided into a plait.

  Wylie was surprised. He didn't know that Maruca had a girlfriend and Maruca was his cousin!

"Hi Maruca! Nice to meet you Willow." Wylie walked up to them. "I'm Wylie."

"Nice to meet you too." Willow said. Her voice was soft and melodic. She smiled.

  Wylie walked back to where Linh was dancing. Marella suddenly switched the song to a slow tune. Keefe and Sophie started waltzing, and so did Maruca and Willow.

   "Do you want to dance?" Linh said softly.

   Wylie smiled. "Of course."

  She put her arm on Wylie's shoulder and the other one in his hand. Wylie was nervous. Where was he supposed to put his other hand.

  Maruca led Willow in dance next to Wylie. "Put your hand on her waist you dimwit!" She whispered harshly.

  Linh laughed. Maruca hadn't been the most quiet or subtle as he would have preferred. He blushed and set his hand lightly on her waist.

  Slowly they got into a rhythm and just swayed. The sun set, dimming the light. Even Tam and Biana had started dancing. Linh and Wylie were so close to each other that a mouse would have had to squeeze to get through.

  Linh looked up and whispered something. "I have a present for you." She stood on her tippy toes and smiled. Then her soft pink lips met Wylie's.

  They continued dancing like this. Just softly swaying.

"Hey Everyone!! Cake time!!" Marella suddenly replaced the classical music with pop. She held out mallowmelt with icing that spelled out Glad your back Wylie!

Wylie and Linh suddenly pulled apart. Both blushing furiously.

Everyone gathered around the cake and pop up table that Marella had brought in. She cut them all a slice and they all stood with plates in their hands. Munching on the delicious Mallowmelt.

Wylie and Linh both finished fast and Linh subtly put her hand in his.

"Wylie Endal. Will you do me the honor of going on a date with me." Linh got on one knee.

"Um.. yes. I would love to." Wylie stuttered.

"Yay!!" Linh leapt up and put her hands around his neck. He put his hands on her waist and together they spun. Shadows against the early evening light.
