Nova was sitting on her bed, holding her stomach in pain. She was having "lady issues" today. She was out of medicine, her heating pad stopped working, and she had already taken a bath today. She told Antauri that she had hurt her ankle and couldn't train today; he didn't question. A knock came at her door. "Please be quick…" she thought. She went and opened the door; it was Sparks.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"If you count my body causing me some of the worst pain imaginable as ok." She told him that it was just a sprain and that she was fine. He stayed and continued to chit chat, he was unusually talkative today. During the entire conversation she was just thinking: "Leave…please for the love of the power primate LEAVE! WHY ARE YOU SO TALKATIVE TODAY!?" She finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"I FEEL LIKE MY GUTS ARE ROTTING! WILL YOU PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" She put her hands over her mouth as if she could take back what she said. He just stared at her with a horrified expression on his face. A blush of shame and embarrassment spread across her face. She grabbed the nearest pillow and buried her face in it, so she would have to look at him. She could hear him get up and leave.
About 15 painful minutes later another knock came at her door. She tried to look natural.
"Come in." Sparks came in carrying a fairly well sized picnic basket. Without a word he handed the basket to her, gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and left. Inside the basket she found; A new heating pad, strong pain medicine, a box of chocolate cupcakes, a few bottles of fruit smoothies, and a movie. This was one of the nicest things he had ever done for her. She thought she'd be nice back. She found Sparks and brought him back to her room, and they watched Flight of the Navigator and ate cupcakes. The end.
