Chapter 2: Carrde is feaer ( Irish; Best friends)

Ginger awoken her eyes after her terrible slumber, the creaking of the floarboard, the squeaking of mice rumming about the barn. Every noise kept her awake till daylight. Ginger just keep looking outside, the rain had made everything clearer and even brighter. She felt as if she could frolick through it's green meadows for ever. Ginger still on her back, turned towards Oreaium who was still aslumber.

Since it was polite to leave a guest sleeping, even though it was the other way around, Ginger decided to explore her new home,maybe just temperorally Ginger kept thinking. As soon as she stood up the ring of pain beat her back to the floor, Ginger let out another howl, awakening Oreaium in the process.

" My love! dearest, what happened?" Oreaium still groggy, awoke right away when she saw Ginger bent over in pain.

" I-I tried to stand up to walk, but my knee still hurts" Ginger explained through sobs.

Oreaium walked over and bent over to check on Ginger, she rolled her over with her hooves and took a look at her knee, she applied pressure but stopped when Ginger gritted her teeth, she then paced back and forth as if thinking.

"I think I know someone who might be of assistance, please wait here love" And with that, Oreaium galloped out of the barn and into the green world outside.

A couple of minutes later, Oreaium returned. Only with someone galloping beside her, a young brown horse is what it seemed to be, both were dashing towards the barn and towards Ginger.

" Sorry for the wait Ginger love, you see my friend Timmy he breaks his knees all the time, so I figured he could help" Oreaium introduced the horse as Timmy.

" Nice to meet you" Ginger looked up awed, even Kowalski wasn't that tall! Timmy could tower over them easily.

" Yes, well I heard your plane went down, I also heard that you're a platypus" Timmy bowed his head down, " It's nice to met your aquantince, Ginger"

Ginger felt her face flush with embarrisment, Timmy had such a cute little british accent, and he was so tall! Ginger just couldn't get over his growth, she just stared at him the whole time without a word. Her sence kicked in and she smiled.

" Well I'm honored" Ginger bowed her head as well, she and Timmy unbowed at the same time, making eye contact.

He had bright blue eyes, it looked so rare or maybe it was her, she had never seen a horse in Tasmania, maybe somewhere but not in the outback that is. They were a bright ocean blue, it made Ginger feel as if she could relax in them forever, beautiful saphire blue just like her beloved, yes her beloved's same eye color.

Kowalski.

Hearing that name ring throughout her mind was a tranquil feeling, she wanted to hear it over and over again, she wanted to feel him, hear him and kiss him one more time. The only thing that made her feel those things was her beautiful propsal necklace, she stared at it with loosely closed eyes, she could swear that she could tell that he was smiling at her via the necklace. Ginger looked up when she remembered that she was absance for her guests.

" I'm sorry, I got so lost in my thoughts I forgot about Timmy helping me" Ginger laughed a goofy laugh and blushed a bit.

Timmy smiled too, just in comfort as if to say " Don't worry about it!" Timmy then leaned closer towards Ginger, he stared at her popped out knee and put one hoove up. Before he applied any pressure he turned towards Oreaium. Oreaium nodded as if she knew what to do, she walked towards Ginger and proped down beside her.

" This is gonna hurt really bad love" Oreaium had already grabbed her webbed hand.

Timmy looked really bothered by this as well, he still held his hoove in the air as if unsure. Then as if he changed his mind, he stomped. Ginger's eyes wide in pain as she felt the bone secure in place, her eyes welding tears like crazy. Ginger just gritted her teeth in the horrible pain and gripped Oreaium's hand, scared even that she was holding too hard, loosened her grip.

" I'm sorry, but it was the only way" Timmy turned towards Oreaium and looked apologetic.

" I know love, it was the only way" Oreaium looked towards Ginger who was now passed out from the pain.

" So what is she doing here? and how are we going to adapt with her in the barn?" Timmy had to ask, he was already aware of the fact that animals were asking questions about her.

Oreaium looked at Ginger's peaceful sleeping face, she laid beside her and rubbed her face. She just keep rubbing her cheek, unsure of herself. Where could she stay? Ireland wasn't her home, unlike her this was her home not Ginger's. Ginger seemed to have so much on her mind, she just wanted to be with her beloved, which to Oreaium's intercept of it all, she couldn't even live a peaceful life. Oreaium understood, understood too well unfortunally. She had heartbreak and even though Ginger was deniening it, she sort of was in heartbreak herself. She couldn't even see her beloved since he was miles away, and to arrive in a different land. Oreaium couldn't even pretend to put herself in Ginger's shoes, it hurt her heart too much. Oreaium smiled a little smile and turned towards Timmy.

" I know one thing, this isn't her home she needs to be with her family, her beloved" Oreaium said determindly to Timmy.

Timmy looked at her suprised, he had never seen Oreaium so serious before, she was always a cheerful, happy little sheep, not someone who took things seriously. Timmy could tell that there was something else behind Ginger which made her act this way.

" What are you implying?" Timmy had to ask, there had to more, there just had to be!

Oreaium smiled an uncomfortable smile towards Timmy, she stood up tall, with such sher determinination and glared at Timmy.

" I believe everything happens for a reason, she is here for a reason and I believe it is my destiny to bring her back"

" So what are you going to do? take her back to New York yourself?" Timmy asked with a huge amount of sarcasm.

Oreaium raised one eyebrow up at him, she glared harder and the smiled a huge devious smile.

" Not exactly, but close enough, I'll find the airport ship her back towards New York and happy ending for her" Oreaium said while looking towards Ginger.

Timmy rolled his eyes, like he'd been through this 50 times. He pffted his lips and then asked.

" How are you going to even get to the airport? it's probably a 3 day hike from here"

Oreaium looked like she was concerding his thoughts, good point it would take a long time, especially since they were in the country part of Ireland. The walk to Dublin would be exhausting but for her heart, Ginger's heart. Oreaium felt as if it was worth it, Oreaium once again turned towards Timmy.

" Saddle up love, were going to Dublin, the shipping yards arn't far from there are they? I've heared me masters talking about where they ship their livestocks"

Timmy understood, and nodded in agreement. He walked to the end of the barn and threw on his riding gear, he slowly bent down and grabbed Ginger carefully by her bill and lefted her onto his back, Oreaium was trotting by his side. They prepared for whatever dangers had awaited them from outside.

" Come on man! you love my fish cakes!" Skipper shouted towards Kowalski.

Kowalski did love Skipper's fish cakes, it wasn't the cakes it was who he wanted to eat them with. His one beloved he couldn't stop worrying about her since last night, after the stars and the episode his mind was literally drowning with her face, her everything. Kowalski just wasn't in the mood for anything except for her.

He put down his half bitten fish cake, apologed to Skipper and walked outside, walking always cleared his mind, whenever it needed to be cleared that is. Kowalski would always leave her tank for last, it was the one thing he needed to be cleansed of not reminded.

When he did arrive at what felt like a morque instead of a home, he smiled at the new inhabitatents, which was a lovely older turtle from the Great barrier reef. However, the tank always seemed to be empty even with someone in it, it would always be hers and no one elses, at least in his mind. Walking away with a more sadended heart, Kowalski walked back to the HQ.

Kowalski,

He turned his head in responce, he heard a voice whisper his name. No one was there just empty tanks of animals, turning away he kept on heading towards the HQ.

Kowalski, please

" Who's there?" Kowalski felt angered, he felt like someone was playing a trick on him, he turned around and no one would be there. He once again turned around.

Kowalski, please believe in me, I'll be home soon.

Kowalski then froze in place, the voice sounded so familar, it sounded like Ginger's. But that was impossible, Ginger was too far away and beside it was probably the wind, he was deliulional the wind couldn't send messages to anyone, it was bolanga.

However, Kowalski didn't deny it, instead he smiled and thought just this once, maybe it was Ginger. Saying she was safe and on her way home.
