It has been one week since Cynder was sick. She recovered ever so nicely. Yet, she still does not know how she got suddenly so well. Well, almost…. She felt queasy and bloated for a couple of days. Spyro took her to see Warfang's Healer (Doctor). He said that Cynder was experiencing a rare yet, not that serious "aftershock" of her illness. She had a gaseous build up in her stomach. It just wasn't passing through correctly. The healer suggested a strange plant that can trigger burps and well… you know.
The only trouble was the healer did not have the plant at the time. So the duty of finding it went to me and Spyro. The other two stayed behind. One was lazy and the other decided to keep a watchful eye on Cynder, just in case. We looked for the plant yet, just couldn't find it. Minutes became hours. Then I decided to walk to the TTP. Crawled inside of it and found….. My blue fedora! Oh… whoops off track. Anyway, I crawled back out and right next to the door, was the plant. I plucked a couple of leaves and got Spyro. He thanked me and we were off. I decided to be nice and let him give the plant to Cynder. To make it seem that he found it. :3
Spyro walked into the room with leaves in his mouth. My best friend, John took notice.
"Gee, nice salad you got there Spyro." He joked. Cynder giggled with a paw over her mouth so Spyro couldn't see. After that died down I made it to the doorway.
"Cynder, we found the plant."
"That's great! The sooner I get gassy the better."
Spyro started chuckling.
"What?" Cynder said and softly chuckled along Spyro.
"Girls usually don't say that." He laughed.
Cynder got slightly embarrassed and her cheeks turned pink. After that Spyro (finally) gave her the plant. She ate two leaves and laid on the bed until she was comfortable enough to move around.
"In about an hour you'll start to burp." Spyro said.
"I can't wait until then." She cheered. Spyro walked closer to Cynder.
"I hope you get better, sweetie." He said.
"Thanks, I sure hope I do."
"And if you don't feel better, OOOooo I'm gonna be mad…" Spyro teased.
"I don't want to make you mad."
"Then, get better soon."
Then Spyro leaned in and peeked Cynder on the lips.
"Love you." He said quietly and in a low voice.
"Love you, too."
After that he exited the room to give Cynder some time. While he was waiting he decided just to spend time with us. We joked around about "What if it came out the other end?" or Cynder burps loudly in public. Spyro laughed at everyone we told. Then, while my other friend, Steve was telling a joke…
"What if she was talking to the guardians, like… We saw a hostile group of…"
At that moment we heard a loud burp. We started laughing our heads off. Spyro even fell to the floor. After a bit it started to calm down, when a green goober yelled.
"Nice one Cynder!"
We started laughing again.
Little did we know. She actually heard that and grinned from the bed across the hall.
It was a little bit after. She started burping left, right, up and down. We could not say a sentence without an interruption. Finally after a bit they slowed down.
Cynder was now comfortable to move without feeling, queasy and bloated. She got up and walked across the hall.
"There's my Cynder." Spyro said. He stood up and walked over to her.
"Feeling better, hun?"
"Yes, I am."
Spyro then started getting his romantic side on.
"I just love you so much."
"I love…" Then Cynder burped.
We started laughing.
"Cynder likes, burps. Cynder likes burps." Steve laughed.
Cynder cheeks got incredibly red.
"um… excuse me?" She said in I high voice.
That is what set us off. The three of us rolled on the floor. After a bit Cynder's red cheeks faded away and she laughed along with us. When Spyro noticed Cynder laughing, he started laughing too! After it died down Spyro and Cynder lay down and chatted with us. Well, sort of… Cynder kept burping and burping. By now her bloat was down and she no longer felt queasy. Spyro noticed how she was acting and knew she probably felt better.
Well, after spending a couple of hours with us they decided it was bed time. Cynder walked across the hall and entered Spyro's room. Spyro soon followed and crawled into bed next to Cynder. Cynder smiled as he rolled over to face her. Spyro smiled as well and leaned in for a kiss. Cynder knew what he was doing and leaned in as well. Their lips met soon after and stayed that way for a couple minutes. They broke the kiss and swapped "I love you."
Cynder closed her eyes and Spyro yet again did his usual; draping his wing around her waist. They fell asleep afterwards.
Suddenly Cynder was awaken, she felt her stomach in pain.
"Uhg…" She groaned. "I forgot to eat the leaves before bed…." She got up and looked outside.
"Pitch black." She whispered to herself. She looked over to Spyro. "Spyro won't be getting up anytime soon."
She ended up deciding to go for a walk. She flew off the balcony and landed in the nearby field. It was then she felt rather nauseous.
"No more flying until the leaves kick in." She told herself.
She walked towards the lake with the piece of our long unused plane. She sat down and the edge of the water and stared at her reflection. She even checked herself for blemishes. Her walk is now shortening as she is growing restless and the sun is rising. She stood up and started to walk back to the tower.
She passed a bush and it rustled. She turned around and it rustled again.
"What could it be?"
