Chapter 28

As they push us down the ramp, I can't help but feel worried that someone will see our wings. I mean, coming out of a hospital, they would probably think that we were all genetically modefied freaks. I'm surprised that no one else has found out.... Seriously - my bandage was HUGE!

"What are you thinking about, Twi?" Pinkie interrupts my thoughts, bouncing up and down as she walks.

"How great it will be to be home again." I tell her and smile. "And I'm excited to fly again too." I give my wings a little flap. I grimace, and Flit runs over.

"Oh no! Are you hurt?" Flit stares worridly at me.

"My wings are a bit sore, but that's about it." I reassure her, and she sighs in relief. Then I lean back and watch as I am 'escourted' out. I can walk, but the nurses won't allow it. At least I can have fun ditching it in a bush somewhere... As we pass the doctors and nurses, we approach an elevator. Dash looks at Peony who winks. She pressed the button, and we wait. The doors slide open, revealing Flash and Bolt. Hey waaait.... What are they doing here? Flash runs over and gives me a hug, then Bolt, when a nurse stops them.

"Remember girls - Dash and Twi cannot walk for two weeks." she sternly reminds them, and Dash and I gag at each other. Jackie turns around and sees us, and we all start snickering.

"Dash and Twi, did you hear me?" The nurse commands at us. As we are at a loss of words, we just smile and nod, and she leaves. Smiling and nodding ALWAYS works.

"Dash.... There is something you should know." I tell her, and motion her forward so I can whisper. "I didn't tell you this earlier, but I healed both your wings and mine. Your legs are fine too, but....." I sigh, preparing for the worst news. "We need to keep the wheelchairs. In case someone comes over we need to act hurt." Uuuuugghh.... No more ditching the wheelchair in a bush.... Then I look at Flash. Huh - he doesn't seem surprised to find that I have wings and magic. I raise one eyebrow at him, and he rushes to my side.

"Twi! What's wrong?!?" He asks worridly, trying to figure something out.

"No, I'm fine, but do you remember-" I start.

"What we had for lunch on Friday?" Unicity cuts in. Huh? But didn't they- Jackie gives me a small shake of her head. Her expression says 'I'll tell you later' very clearly. Meanwhile, Flash gives his answer. Wait - what?

"We didn't have school Friday," he says. But that was the day we came back and had the assembly! How can't he remember it? Jackie wheels me into the elevator, with Flit wheeling Dash right behind me. Well, Jackie. The doors close, and I get disappointed. Since the boys are here, we can't jump up and down and party like we always do. Beside me, Peony looks heartbroken. I give her a small pat on her back, and the elevator arrives on the first floor. Passing the desk, I give the girl working there a small smile and a wave, and she waves back.

"Well, it was nice of you to visit, but I guess I'll see you both tomorrow!" I tell the boys, giving them the hint to leave. They shrug, and drive off. Three..... Two..... One.... YES!!!! I throw off my jacket and shake out my wings. Next to me, Dash shoots off into the air. I squint and try to find her, and within a split second, she zooms right above me.

"Dash!" I scold, and she comes down next to me.

"Hey Twi......" Dash looks at me smugly. "Wanna test out those wings of yours?" I nod. "Then follow me." We take off, and I follow her. Dash flies over to a hotel, and lands on the roof. As soon as I touch down, I hiss in pain. It's so HOT!!!! Dash and I both leap off the roof as fast as we can, landing on someone's balcony. Curious, Dash looks through the curtains (well, not really, because they left them open) and I sneak up next to her.

What I see makes me silently snicker. At the table is Jerome drinking a giant cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. The next second, his coffee spills everywhere, soaking him and the poor innocent newspaper. Gosh, his shirt is OK, but the newspaper? So cruel. It's done nothing to him... He glances at the balcony, and we both shoot off to either side. Whew - that was close! He shrugs, and goes to get a towel.

Hmmm... To go or not to go in.... Not to go in. I mean, it would be kinda creepy sneaking into someone's room 10 stories off the ground... I guess I shouldn't visit anyway - he has a huge mess to clean up before Adam finds out. Seriously, when you mess with his stuff, he gets crazily mad. A lot. Plus I'm supposed to be hurt and in a wheelchair. Sigh... Life can be so unfair. Dash and I then take off, heading back to the hospital. As I approach, I see Jackie squinting, trying to find us.

"Where are they?" Unicity asks, trying to find us too. Dash and I sneak up behind them.

"Right... HERE!" we yell, jumping on them. They shriek, turning to us. Dash and I fall over, due to laughing too hard. "That. Was. PRICELESS!!!" we shriek, almost dying of laughter.

"You were like, huh? And then you were like, what? And then your eyes got as big as dinner plates and you looked so scared!" Dash says between laughs. When we finally stop laughing, it is time to go home.

"Come on guys..." I say, and then next minute we are right in front of the door. I look over at everyone and grin. Then I snap my fingers, and the front door opens. Wow - I am gooood. We make our way inside to find TONS of gifts and people waiting for us. There are pictures of lightning bolts and stars everywhere, not to mention soccer balls and books. Blushing, I slowly walk into the room, looking around. It looks like almost everyone from school is here, along with a few relatives and cousins. Then Mitch comes over, giving me a giant hug.

"I've missed you, Twi," he says, still hugging me. "Bad time to get hurt, right? Especially since you were playing soccer with Dash!" He adds. Wait - what did he say?

"Excuse us for a minute," Flit says, and pulls me into a side room, closing the door.

"Anything I should know?" I ask her, crossing my arms. Jackie and Unicity look worried.

"Yeah. No one - NO ONE - remembers Friday. They all think it was a day off and nothing happened. To cover up what did, we said you both slipped and fell during soccer practice. We think that Catanya may have brainwashed them or something!" Unicity says, and they all nod.

"Why would she do that?" I ask. My answer is only nervous shrugs.

"Wait - everyone?" Dash asks, sniffing.

"I'm sorry, but Preston and Mitch don't remember that you have wings and magic." Jackie says, and they all give us hugs. Great. Dash and I sniff, trying not to cry.

"Well, Peony planned a great party, so we may as well have fun!" Flit says, trying to be optimistic. Unicity gathers everyone, and then they all turn to us. Seconds later, I am whisked away for a makeover.


"You look great!"

"Now all you need is a good outfit!"

"We should do this more often - it's fun!"

"Finally you guys are done!" I groan. Now all I need is an outfit... Sulking over to my closet, I browse through some dresses, finally deciding on one with a tight yet stretchy back for my wings. It is magenta, with a lavender belt and stars. My hair is then brushed out, and I put on some medium-purple knee high boots. Opening the door, I walk over to Dash's room, and she comes out, ready to go. We walk down together, stopping at the top of the stairs. Everyone claps and shrieks as we make our way down. This is going to be a long night...
