"Sometimes the greatest relationships start with the longest friendships."

-One of My Former Friends


Misty woke up in a white room. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and yawned while observing her new surroundings. Misty then realized she was in a hospital room. One of her old time friends, Cameron, peeked in through the door. He gasped when he saw when she was awake.

"Guys!!! She's up!!!" Cameron shouted into the hallway.

"Oh my goodness!" Misty's mother said when she saw her daughter was awake, and ran over to hug her child. "Mistique Ann Threen, you have no idea how much of a scare you gave me! Not just me, all of us!"

"Are you kidding?! I scared myself!" Misty said, hugging her mother back, and her father as well.

For the next hour, Misty "visited" with her distraught family, relieved that their daughter, granddaughter, niece, or cousin was okay. Misty also had a visit from the doctor, who said she was hospitalized for energy and blood loss. Misty was basically all right now, but the doctors wanted to analyze her to see where she got her "Naturess" powers from. Misty and her family immediately refused.

"No daughter of mine is a lab rat!" Misty's enraged father said to the doctors. Misty and her family readily agreed.

Then Misty's friends came in to see if she was okay. Liz, Cindy, and Andy came in first. Liz was the first to hug the girl.

"Oh. My. God. Misty's a superhero!!!" Cindy exclaimed.

"Superheroess, thank you very much." Misty said while grinning.

"And not just any superheroess," Andy said while emphasizing the "ess" to tease her, "she's Naturess!"

Misty smiled, glad that her friends weren't treating her like royalty.

"Hey Misty, you okay?" Cameron said, after peeking in again. He wanted to see her after all the commotion died down.

"I'm good Cam!" Misty said while winking and holding a thumbs-up, using Cameron's nickname that only Misty used for him.

"Good." Cameron said, and walked in. "Hi Liz. Cindy. Andy." Cameron said.

"Hey." They said back.

"We'll be going now." Liz said, winking at Misty. They all knew that Misty had a huge crush on Cameron, and unknown to Misty, Cameron had a huge crush on her as well. More than a crush. They had known each other for about nine years, and had been friends since the moment they met.

"I'm glad you're okay." Cameron said once Misty's friends left, and took a seat next to Misty's hospital bed.

"Believe me, I'm glad too." Misty said, and both chuckled nervously. "So how's the school holding up?"

"Eh…it's all right. It's great that you managed to clear some of the debris up, because the police department and the fire department are still cleaning some of it up. Rumors are flying, and you're the most popular girl right now. But there hasn't been any school since you revealed yourself."

"How long is that?"

"About three days."

"Three days?!"

"Three days."

"Woah."

"The doctors kept saying how much of a miracle it is that you were still alive. They wanted to analyze you so bad, but your mom and dad were dead set on suing them if they did a single thing to you." Misty smiled, grateful that her parents loved her so much. Then she yawned.

"How could I be so tired when I've had three days of sleep?!" Misty exclaimed, then yawned again. Cameron laughed.

"I guess I should go then." Cameron said.

"Thanks for visiting Cam." Misty said, blushing wildly. "Oh and here," she said, waving her hand upwards. Out of her hand come a rock, and she formed it to be a heart. Then some gold mist was placed in the heart through Misty's hand. " Take this and put it in your pocket, and always have it with you. It will protect you in case one of my enemies goes after you, since they now know who I am. They'd do anything to capture Naturess, the code, and myself, including harming the ones I lo - care about." Misty said, breathing a sigh of relief for being able to catch that special four-letter word that shows the ultimate emotion.

Cameron smiled and said, "I'll keep it with me always."

"Good." Misty said, smiling back. Then she closed her eyes, falling into a deep slumber. Cameron smiled, caressed her cheek, whispered something intelligible, and left the room.
