A/N- Some of you may remember me mentioning in my last story that this one would only be 7 chapters. Well, that's no longer the truth anymore. I came up with some new ideas I can fit into the story so it's going to be longer. That's about it. Enjoy the chapter.

No More Need to Dream Chapter 4

Blaze POV

I watched with bated breath as Silver dealt with the hornet's nest. He looked like he had everything under control until something caught him off guard and he dropped it. I heard him mouth 'Oh crap' and then all the hornets started swarming and stinging him. He fell to the ground screaming.

"Aaaaagghhhh, BLAZE HELP ME!" He got out. He tried to get back up but then he passed out. I got out of the water and stopped to think of a way to get rid of the hornets without them stinging me, because if they did we'd both be screwed. I conjured up a fireball and threw it at the swarm but it only got rid of a few of them. Then I got the idea to break a branch off a tree and light the other side on fire. It worked because the fire scared most of them away and the smoke from the leaves calmed the rest down. I grabbed Silver's hand and dragged him over to where we had eaten.

"Silver, Silver! Can you hear me?!" I yelled with no response. I picked Silver up and started running. It's a good thing that Silver's mom is a doctor. She runs a small clinic about three miles west of the lake. I made it there in a minute flat and when I burst through the door Silver's mom got up from her desk immediately.

"Blaze, what are you doing here? And why are you only wearing a bikini?" She asked. Then she looked down. "Oh my goodness, what happened to Silver?"

"We were at the lake and he was trying to move a hornet's nest away from me but he lost focus and dropped it. Then all the hornets came out and started stinging him and he passed out." I said quickly.

"Well, it's was a smart idea to bring him here. Did you get stung at all, I know you're allergic to them."

"No, I smoked them away so they wouldn't get me."

"Okay then, carry him back to the examination room and I'll look him over." Silver's mom said as she walked back to the room. I followed and laid Silver down on the table.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked worried.

"He should be fine, I'll just give him some antibiotics and everything will be good. The hard part is going to be getting all the stingers out." She answered pulling out some tweezers. "But first I need to set him up an IV of mild painkillers." And with that she rolled over a metal pole and hooked up a small bag to it and then stuck the other side into Silver's arm.

"So, he's not going to feel anything?" I asked.

"Not quite, but it'll take the edge off. It would be a good idea if you stayed as well because as soon as I pull out the first few he'll wake up and you being here should calm him down."

"Okay, what should I do?"

"Just take his hand and be yourself." She said. Then she moved the tweezers to Silver's body, found a stinger, and pulled it. Silver's eyes shot open.

"Wowzers!" He said a bit loudly.

"The painkiller should kick in soon." I sure hope so. I guess it did because Silver didn't yell anymore. In fact he started laughing.

"Mom, that tickles." He said randomly. I gave his mom a weird look.

"Side effects of the painkiller is lowered inhibitions and just plain loopyness." She responded. Well that made sense with what Silver started saying next.

"Hey Blaze, when did you get here?" He asked.

"I've been here the whole time Silver."

"Oh. Guess what? I had a funny dream last night. Me and you were swimming in chocolate ice cream and sprinkles and then we ate all of it and got really fat."

"That is kinda funny Silver." I said not knowing what else to say.

"I thought so to. But we're not fat, we're skinny. I love chocolate ice cream, what about you?"

"Yeah, I like it too."

"You know what else I love?"

"No, what?"

"You." Did he just say that? That even surprised his mom. "You're so pretty, and nice to me, and you stand up for yourself and you're friends which is awesome." Then he started whispering. "And don't tell my mom, but you look really sexy in that bikini." I blushed so hard I must have looked like a tomato.

"Do you really mean that Silver?" I asked him when I regained my composure.

"Look, something shiny." Damn painkillers. Well, hopefully he'll remember what he said. But if he doesn't I won't push it, I know what I need to know.

Silver POV

When I finally came to I was in my bed and I was covered in bandages.

"Oooh." I moaned and got out of bed and shuffled to the kitchen because I was hungry. My body was sore all over and I was limping until someone walked up beside me and helped me stabilize myself. I looked over and saw it was Blaze.

"What are you doing up so late?" She asked me. That's when I noticed she was dressed for bed and if you remember what I said before about her clothing decisions, yeah it kinda made me feel better.

"What time is it?" I asked groggily.

"Two in the morning. Which makes me ask again, why are you up?"

"I'm hungry." I said as I started rifling through the pantry. I grabbed a bag of popcorn and turned to Blaze. "You want to share?"

"Sure." She said getting a bowl. I didn't feel like using the microwave so I handed the bag to Blaze.

"Do you mind doing it?" I asked her.

"Not at all." And with that she warmed her hand up and popped the popcorn. Then we sat down and started eating and talking.

"So what happened? I kinda don't remember anything after Sonic ran past me."

"Oh, so that's what distracted you. Well, I lit a branch on fire to smoke the hornets away and then ran you to your mother's clinic where she treated you and took out all the stingers."

"Really? You saved me from the hornets? I knew you were brave Blaze, but wow that was really awesome of you to do for me."

"Well, you would have done the same if it was me, but thanks anyway."

"You're welcome. Now I know my mom probably drugged me, so what stupid things did I say when I was there?" I asked. I wonder if I told her how I felt about her. She paused for a second in thought and then answered.

"Nothing too bad. Just something about swimming in chocolate ice cream and looking at shiny things."

"Well, that's not that bad." Man, I can't even tell her when I'm drugged up.

"Oh, and your mom said you can stay home from school tomorrow if you want." I was happy with that at first, but then I remembered something.

"I have to go to school, we have that oral report to give together. Plus, if someone sees me tuxedo shopping after school it won't look too good." I said.

"Hm, I didn't think of that. Well, you better get some sleep in then." Blaze said getting up.

"I will after this, goodnight Blaze. And thank you again for saving my life." I joked.

"I don't think it was that bad. And goodnight to you as well." Blaze said giving me a reassuring hug. Man, she drives me crazy sometimes.
