If only everything I had could taste this good. I mean, everything tastes amazing. By the look on Dash's face, she is thinking that too. Coming from her, that means a lot. She's kinda a picky eater.

"Hey Twi, do you want my tomatoes?" she asks, nodding her head towards her salad.

"Sure," I say, and take them, adding them to my own. We both eat in silence for the next few minutes. It's funny, because you'd think hospital food would taste bad. This is just the contrary - it tastes AWESOME. To my left, Dash scarfs down her salad, getting every last piece. I take a bite of my chicken caesar salad. Yum.... Salads are amazing. I don't know how you can't like them. If you don't, you are seriously missing out. It's like with broccoli. It's SO good and everything, but a lot of people don't like it. I just happen to be one of the few that LOVE it. Taking a sip of my strawberry lemonade, I glance over at Dash. She turns to me, her mouth stuffed with her ham sandwich.

"What?" she asks innocently. "It's good!"

"You wanna watch TV?" I ask, and she nods, unable to answer.

"Hey! Sophia the First is on!" she squeals, after swallowing most of the sandwich in one bite. Okay... I wasn't really expecting that.

"You wanna watch it?" I ask, and she nods, like she is really excited. I press the channel, and Sophia comes up. Then, when I am sure that the TV will stay on, I start the rest of the meal. Let's see.. what to eat first? Well, I'm half-way done with the salad, so let's finish that. Then I start on my BLT - sooooo good. Then, when the episode ends, another comes on. Then I set the rest of my BLT aside for later, and turn to my soup. Mmmm... Lentil..... For those of you who don't love lentils, you are REALLY missing out - they are SO good. Finishing my soup, I look back over to Dash who is reading a book. I turn off the TV and grab one too. Oooohhhhhh... Red Queen! I absolutely LOVE this book! Suspense, mystery, a little romance.... and a sequel that doesn't come out for at least a year. *sigh* Why does my life have to be so unfair? Well, let's read it over again anyway. It's not like I have read it over 15 times........ - well, I have, but it is just that good.

"So.... Twi..." Dash says, smirking. "Who are you thinking about? Flash? Rob? or Mitch?" she asks, giggling a little.

"Um.... no one, because I am eating." Proving my point, I finish my soup and salad, and then take a huge bite of my BLT. She laughs, and her wings fling out, knocking over a pile of books. That gets me laughing too. Using my magic, I put them all back in a neat pile, and then finish the rest of my sandwich.

"So... Dash.... You asked me so I can ask you.." I say, nodding over at her. "Who are you thinking about?" I ask, giving her a fainting look, like Unicity does when something romantic happens. "Preston? No! Wait! Bolt?"

Dash gags. "Um... definitely NOT Bolt." She says, shuddering. "But, yeah.... I was kinda thinking about Preston.." she admits, looking down. "I mean, they come and give us a nice surprise and everything, and then I am here, stuck in the hospital, and we can't even be together!" she wails, starting to cry. Cheryl! comes in, looking worried. Well, semi worried because she is SO perky.

"Is everything all right, girls?" she asks, glancing over at Dash.

"She's just missing her boyfriend," I say, giving her a sympathetic face.

"Is there anything I can do?" Cheryl! asks, clearly worried that she will get in trouble because the staff would say it is her fault.

"No... But maybe you should get her dessert.." I say.

"Okay then!" she says, giving me a wide smile. "I'll get your's too!" and she runs out the door.

"It's okay, Dash! You'll see him tomorrow!" I tell her, leaning over to pat her arm.

"But I want him here now!" she says, hugging her pillow. No, not one from the floor. One from her bed. But the staff might want to wash and put stain remover on the ones on the floor - Jerome's coffee went EVERYWHERE.

Just then, Cheryl! returns, with both of our desserts. Placing the lemon-blueberry cake, strawberries, and sundae in front of me, she then races over to Dash, trying to comfort her before she gets in trouble.

"It's okay, I'll calm her down." I say, and Cheryl! nods. She then gives Dash some lemon-lime jello cake, and a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream.

"Anything else you girls need?" Cheryl! asks. I smile and shake my head.

"Thank you Cheryl!!" I say, and she bounces out of the room. Dash slowly eats her dessert while I read my books, also slowly eating my dessert. Don't get me wrong - it tastes GREAT. But getting food on a book..... You can never live that down. You'll always feel so bad and then have to look at it forever. That's why we are careful.

Before I know it, it is almost 10 at night.

"Wow.. Dash it's getting late!" I say, and she glances over at the clock.

"Yeah.." she says, and then yawns.

"Hey sleepyhead. Want to go to bed now?" I ask, pretending to be exhausted. Well, I am, just not as much.

"Sure.." she yawns, and puts her book down on her side table. I close the blinds and turn off the light.

"Goodnight Dash..." I whisper.

"Goodnight Twi..." she says, and we both fall sound asleep.

"WAKE UP!" someone screams in my face, and I jerk awake. It's Peony.

"Hi Peony..." I say, and then yawn.

"Twi, you are so silly. It's not just me!" Peony steps aside, and I behind her I see Unicity, Jackie, and Flit.

"Hey guys.." I say, and then yawn again. "What's going on?"

"Oh, well you guys are getting released today!" Flit says. "Peony got you both big bags of candy!" Oh... so thats what those huge rainbow lumps on the floor were....

"That's great! And thanks Peony!" I say, smiling. I look over at Dash and see her already rummaging through her bag. I may as well too.. Let's see... M&Ms.... Nestle Crunch..... Peanut Butter Cups... That's a lot of chocolate. Jolly Ranchers... Lemon Drops..... Gummy Bears... Gummy Worms... Gummy Butterflies... Ooh! That's cool! (A/N yes, there IS such a thing as gummy butterflies - believe me, we saw them)

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, PEONY!" Dash screams, clearly happy with what she got.

"Miss Dash, is that any way to act around your old grandmother?" Flit asks in a 'granny' accent, putting fake glasses on her nose. "It is not proper. Auuugghh... Back in my day, girls wore long skirts and didn't have any of these appendages. Wings? Well, those were unfit for public. I've never heard of such nonsense!" Dash giggles, and I start laughing.

"And you, Twi! Magic? It was forbidden! None of this 'book stacking' and 'game playing'! You were out in the fields working from sunup to sundown! No time for such foolish nonsense!" Flit does some exaggerated hand gestures and shakes her finger at me.

"And what is with that hair! It is not natural! It is all long and choppy! Back in my day, girls all had white hair shoulder length! Not this long and colorful ugh.... 'hairstyle'!" she says, pacing back and forth and wagging her finger at me even more. I can't help it - I burst out laughing and so does everyone else.

"Are you laughing at ME, young missy?" she asks, pretending to be shocked at such an outburst.

"Ummm... maybe?" I say, shrugging.

"TWI! You do NOT say 'maybe' and 'um'! It is unfit and most DEFINITELY NOT proper. I have taught you the way to act for years! And now you are disobeying it!" Flit yells, smiling. I wrap my wings around me, acting like I was hurt.

"Umm.. Twi?" Flit asks, now in her normal voice. She comes over to touch my wing. Then I fling my wing out, and it hits her in the face. Flit then falls over onto a pile of pillows.

"Oops! Sorry Granny!" I say, snickering. Then Cheryl! walks in.

"Get dressed girls! You're being released today!" she smiles, full of glee. Behind her, an attendant by the name of Barbara! walks in. Oh no.. Not ANOTHER one!

"YAY GIRLS!" Barbara! cheers.

"Now hurry and get dressed!" The two 'squee!!!' nurses sing, and dance out the room. Getting out of bed, I take the clothes that Unicity laid out for me and go to the bathroom to get dressed. Closing the door, I see that she had brought me a lavender shirt and royal pink and purple leggings to go along with it. Putting them on, I notice that she has cut hole in the back for my wings. (Thanks!) Along with that, there is a jacket matching my wings. Ahhh.... Good thinking Unicity! If anyone saw part of my wings, they'd think it was part of the jacket! I slowly unwind the stretchy thing I use to keep my wings against my back, and put them through the holes. Giving them a few flaps, I rise into the air.

Everything feels fine.... Nothing hurts... I guess it is safe to say that I can fly again. That's good, because it feels like FOREVER since I've last flown. Cramped wings are NOT fun. I fold up my hospital clothes (what I was wearing while fighting Catanya) and open the door. I give them a huge smile and flap my wings beneath my jacket. They all grin, and I start packing up my things. When that is all done, we are put into the wheelchairs (I CAN walk, you know....) and are strolled out the door. We're going home!!!

Hey guys! I am really sorry for not updating sooner, but I've been really busy. Anyway, you know how I said I will have to go back to gym? Well, I'm not. For the rest of the very short school year. Go me! Now I can write and do my homework during that class! Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed the update, and I will get writing on the next one. Ok so I hope you guys don't mind, but I have a few questions for you.

1. Should I write a new book?

-if so, what kind/ any ideas? (you guys can be characters, just tell me this:

2. Should I write another book listing spells to become a mermaid? (Probably won't do this, just look at @Layla_Light13)

3. Do you have any ideas for THIS story?
