April Scott was sitting at the table downstairs in the Roberts household, on her laptop. Irene Roberts came downstairs, noticing April.
"You're up early" Irene told her.
"Well, I have to be, Irene" April replied.
"Are you studying?" April's sister, Bianca, asked as she came out of her room.
"Don't worry, I am," April smiled, "But I'm going to see Dex soon"
April shut the laptop and got up, getting her bag ready.
"That boy's very lucky to have you, girlie" Irene told her.
"I know he is" April grinned as she straightened the giant bright blue bowtie on her shirt.
At that moment, Bianca's newly-born son, Rocco, began crying. Bianca moaned and stomped back into her room.
"Well, I better get out of her hair" April said to Irene as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
She arrived at Summer Bay Hospital and walked into her boyfriend, Dexter Walker's room. Dexter, or Dex as he preferred, was the smartest, funniest, nerdiest person you'd ever meet. Unfortunately, a horrific car accident left him unable to talk or move freely, which is why he was being cared for in the hospital. Dex noticed April walk in and half-smiled. April went to sit down on the chair next to his bed. She placed her bag on her lap and opened it up.
"So, I bought you a few more dolls-" She started saying.
"A-A-Act-" Dex tried saying.
"Action figures" April corrected herself, pulling a Thor, Iron Man and Captain America action figures out, "Mint condition, too"
Dex touched her hand in thanks as she handed them to him.
"I've also been updating your blog, letting fans know your progress" April told him as she noticed his father, and a doctor, Sid, walk in.
"Oh, hi, Dr. Walker," She greeted him, "I was just telling Dex what I've been doing for him"
"It's great to see you here, April," Sid greeted her, "Actually, I'm glad you're here"
"Why?" April asked.
"Can I see you outside for a minute?" Sid asked her.
"Sure," April said as they walked out of the room, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing like that," Sid replied, "It's just that I was getting him to do some hand exercises, drawing. I told him to draw something for you, since you made him that chart"
"What did he draw?" April asked Sid.
"This," Sid stated, taking out a piece of paper and handing it to April, "We're not sure what it is. We're not even sure of what the word he was trying to write is. I thought you might understand it"
April unfolded the paper and looked at it. It was mostly blank but in the corner was a small dark blue rectangle coloured in. Next to it, Dex had written the letters 'C-O'. April tried to think of what it could be. Out of the corner of her eye, she got a glimpse of her bowtie and realised something. Her eyes widened.
"I think I know what it is" she said.
"What is it?" Sid asked.
"I have to go!" April shouted as she ran out of the hospital with the drawing.
She rushed back into the Roberts household, past Irene.
"What's up, girlie?" Irene asked.
"Do we have any dark blue envelopes?" April asked her.
Irene rummaged through the drawers in the kitchen and handed April a packet of dark blue envelopes. April tore open the pack and snatched one envelope. She cross-hatched the envelope and then on a separate piece of paper, she began writing a long letter. She then placed the letter and the drawing into the envelope. When she went to bed that night, she put the envelope under her pillow.
The next day at school, the principal, Gina Palmer, was covering for their science teacher. Gina had told the class to go on with what the teacher had left them.
"Mrs. Palmer?" April asked.
"Yes, April?" Gina replied.
"May I use the Transmitter?" April asked her.
"Are you allowed to?" Gina queried.
"Yes" April answered.
"It's important," she added, "For Dex"
Gina smiled, "Go ahead then"
April got up from her chair and walked over to the window, where the Transmitter was. The Transmitter was something Dex came up with last year. The science teacher loved the idea so much that the class spent nearly four weeks building it. It was designed to send things into space. It was never really tested because by the time it was finished, no one bothered about it. She pulled the dark blue envelope out of her pocket and placed it on the Transmitter. She opened the window and flicked the on switch for the first time. All of a sudden, the envelope disappeared into thin air. Her eyes widened. She looked out the window into the sky.
Please receive it, she thought as she walked back to her chair, please receive it.
