The Rain Dance

Col rode Skylark for what seemed like ten minutes, before they landed on the territory of Mr. Masterson's farm.

'Is that it? We came here so quickly!' Connie was the first to exclaim.

Others voiced their own opinions after they landed.

'Yes, I know. It's complicated.' Col answered.

'Oh-' he cut her off.

Society members started walking towards the farm, talking in their, small groups.

'There's no time to explain, but it's Mystical Creatures thing.' Col answered while looking around.

He slowly realized that the whole search party was out to find Connie, from Sea Creatures to Elementals.

'You better come in.' he said, letting go of Skylark, who wandered in direction of the stables.

But instead of going after Skylark, which he guessed Connie thought he would do, Col started walking towards the farm with their small society chapter.

Seeing that Connie didn't follow, he turned around and said;

'Connie, we've got to go.'

She bearly managed to follow, from her expression Col could tell that she was in great pain, she must be really exhausted, he thought.

But shortly after they where walking on the same level, this surprised Col, he never would have thought about her being so...he cursed himself.

I don't deserve Connie...I don't deserve her at all....

After a moment of walking and cursing himself, Col noticed that Connie looked so terribly...gorgeously, different.

Her hair had an eerie glow, and her eyes were a deep purple colour. Their shallow depths pulled at him and sent shivers down Col's spine.

She also had a sharper face, but it looked beautiful.

Those features made her the most amazing looking girl on this planet if no other.

Connie laughed, 'You know Col, you look really funny with that stunned expression on your face!'

'What? What's so funny about it?!' Col imagined how he looked and half-laughed.

He really looked funny, with his always bright, cheery face and his look-at-me eyes, while looking at Connie in wonder.

Things happened quickly then.

He saw an arrow fly; appearing from nowhere and his first reaction was to stare around wildly, desperately trying to spot the intruder.

This was his first mistake, he realized, because the next thing Col heard was Connie's groan, he looked at her.

Fearing, Col didn't dear to look down.

Slowly, Connie touched her ribs, and raised her hand, and Col's curiosity took over.

Looking down he saw blood, blood on Connie's hand, and ribs.

He saw the arrow stuck in her, and he saw blood puring out of her...he saw everything and it made him feel helpless and sick.

Quickly paranoid, he called for someone to help, but it was hard to find his voice again.

He wanted to prove that he was worth Connie, and that made him remember his strengths and fight his weaknesses, and this was another bullet-like shock;

'Someone help!'

He blubbered out, it was enough for people to hear.

First came Kira, she sprinted into the scenery, and fitted there perfectly.

When she saw what was happening, desperate, she called for WindFoal at once.

As more people came to his call. they rushed and pushed Connie out of his reach.

At first he tried to push his way though, but it didn't work.

Col stood back, staring worriedly at Connie. She gazed back at him, one hand on her side and the other stretched out to him.

He saw that people where too close to her, she desperately needed some air.

Wind Foal cantered over and tried to heal her, but it didn't work.

Unfortunately, it didn't work, they couldn't see the arrow.

How blind are they?! But at least they stopped the rib bleed, Col thought, but he couldn't bare their blindness.

'People! People stop! Your only making it harder for her!'

'Col, tell me what happened!' called Kira, her hand on Connie's side.

She serouisly haven't acknowledge him until now.

'Can't you see the arrow!? I mean who doesn't!'

Everyone looked at him; it was obvious that they couldn't see a thing.

'Oh...' Col thought for a while, cursing again, but then he unexpectedly said;

'Then give me the rights to operate.'

'But-' Kira tried saying, but was cut of by Col.

'This is matter of life and death, for God's sake!'

People murmured, and Col felt somehow embarrassed.

He added this to his mental why-don't-I-deserve-Connie? list.

'Well, we can't take her to hospital because everyone is evacuating, so I guess...if your the only one who can see that arrow.'

Society people made way for him, they've made their agreements.

Boosting with confidence, Col walked into the middle of the crowd.

***

Col finally finished his 'operation', he had to admit, he did pretty good.

Taking off his hospital-like gloves, he saw just how bloody they were.

I only took out an arrow!

Evelyn came up to him and offered a drink.

Col took it and thanked her.

He saw that now someone was trying to do the stitches but wasn't doing a any good.

There are only the wounds left....I've also got to do the stitches properly, also that guy with the stitches...he's giving me a headache.

'You did well.' he heard Kira's voice from behind.

'You see, I could do a great sergeant! By the way, I haven't thanked you for letting me operate, so, thank you.'

'Don't mention it, now go and talk to her, she seems awake.' she gave him a little push.

With that little encouragement, Col pushed though the small crowd and held Connie's hand.

She instantly looked at him and smiled, painfully.

Col talked that guy, who 'did' the stitches, to leave for a min.

After a moment Connie started to move her mouth.

Col realized she was trying to speak, but her mouth made no sound.

He desperately tried to read her lips.

After a lot of struggle, he just managed to lip read two words bring and rain.

What? How am I supposed to bring rain?! He thought, quickly.

'What is she saying?' Shirley asked, in a wavy tone, seriously shocked. Everyone looked at her in surprise. She doesn't care about Connie much, so she must be scared of something...

'It's hard to say, I can't lip read.' Col answered. He was not going to give her the satisfaction of knowledge, and he didn't trust her.

'Oh, Col listen, I had lip reading lessons, and I can help.' She started to walk in Connie's direction.

But before she could kneel down beside Connie, Connie took Col close to her and barley hissed;

'Take her away from me, I can't bear her, and you'll help me...a lot.'

'B-But how?!' He asked, shocked that Connie could hiss so quietly, yet harshly.

'You know, Col, you know,' her voice sounded smooth now, and she let go of him.

And it was true, he knew, he knew...and he probably never deserved her, meaning Connie.

It was another terrible thing he did...

Getting ready for word battle, Col stood up.

'No, Shirley, you can't help her or me! So just back off!' Col heartlessly screamed.

'You shouldn't be here, I can handle this easily.' he added.

'Oh, yes!? Then do it, yourself!' Shirley walked away, upset.

A second later, lightening struck Connie, and Col sped back onto his knees.

He touched her to see if everything was alright, but unluckily, he touched her too early, and some of the current escaped under Col's fingers, only to electrocute him as well.

He didn't care, although he twitched and it hurt terribly.

Rain started, and there fat droplets steamed down his face.

She can't be...no, No, NO! This is not happening...

Col panicked, looking at Connie he saw that her eyes were closed.

'Connie?' He asked dreadfully. 'Connie?' Now he was more than concerned.

The crowd started to get closer, even Shirley couldn't resist having a peak.

And I thought that she was inside her house.

Finally Connie opened her eyes, she looked beyond Col and everybody else, she was looking strait at the sky.

Only Shirley run off it direction of the farmhouse.

Now, she seemed to be rising, without her twitching a muscle.

People stepped back and gasped in shock and wonder as Connie was now standing, upright.

Slowly, she started to move, her moves simple, Col took them for a dance.

She seemed to be getting energy from the rain, and as she danced, those fat droplets seemed to be following her every move.

The dance became more and more drastic and complicated.

Her fresh, wounds started to heal; it was now obvious what she was doing.

People even joined in, with their own snake-like moves, not realizing what was happening.

'They must be hypnotized,' thought Col, 'but how could Connie do something like this!? Is it really her?'

He watched closer and saw that her slightest move affected the whole scene of minds and people.

Only Col didn't get affected, she must have left me for some reason.

'Until we can walk on free land...' Connie started singing.

Her voice was smooth as wind, as harsh as fire, as lively as water, and as strong as earth. Col watched as Connie moved towards him, her exotic dance, forgotten. Her every wound was healed and forgotten. When she reached him, the rain stopped and so did the people, it looked as if she stopped the time itself. .Connie looked at him; she seemed to be keeping something from him, maybe a important secret. People slowly woke up from their hypnosis.

'We better go, the tsunami is coming!' Connie shouted out, then to Col;

'Sorry about that.' Her cute smile plastered across her face.

'You don't fool me; I already know your secret.'

He couldn't bear it, couldn't bear how she had used them. He wasn't angry or shocked, he was only annoyed. So he walked away, in the same direction that the society was heading, the airport.

'I know Col...' he heard Connie's soft whisper.

He stared at the sky for a moment and he saw an outline of a Pegasus, he guessed that it was Skylark.

Good journey, companion, Col sent a mental call to the Pegasus.

He felt Connie's presence close in, on him.

***

On the airplane, Connie couldn't help but half-cry, Col had her universal powers, but how? She didn't know.

'It must have been that lightening, he must have got paralyzed or shocked...' She thought.

Somewhere in the back of the plane, she heard Col's and Rat's laughter, she definitely had to talk to him...

Connie stood up and headed towards Col, but Shirley stopped her.

Connie gave her the-what-are-you-looking-at stare.

'Just give me a second, please!' Shirley now really looked cornered.

'Okay, fine, but only one minute.'

'Connie, I saw your dance...it was when I got to the safety of my house, that's when you started to, well...dance. And I saw you and Col argue...'

Oh. My. God! How... Connie was extremely shocked, her mouth wide open.

'I'm not going to use this; I'll try to protect you. I mean, you're not only someone powerful...your Connie. You're the nice girl who Col loves.' she smiled.

'She's up to something...' thought Connie, 'this isn't like her.'

'You're up to something, aren't you?'

'What! Connie I've changed, your dance changed me! Now I see this world properly!' She finished in a slow spin

She saw Col starring at her in a funny way.

She couldn't bear him staring at her that way, and there was a thousands reasons why.

'Why does life have to be so difficult?' she though sheepishly.

'Excuse me, Shirley, I've got to go.' Connie said politely and came to sit on front of Col and Rat.

'...a phobia of baked beans-.' Rat stopped, then to her:' Oh, hi Connie! How are you?'

'Fine thanks. What about you?!'

Col started at her, his graze mixed with cold and hot feelings.

'You know, the usual crap.' he looked at Col, who was staring curiously at Connie.

'Easy boy, you're not in a doghouse, so loosen up.'

Col instantly started to strangle Rat. Rat made all of his funny faces, so that even Connie had to laugh.

But after a while, she had had enough. Enough of Col and his raving madness, and Rat with his humor.

'Col!? Will you stop!? You're killing him!'

'Okay, okay, as the universal princess wishes.' said Col, while pushing Rat back with a force that pushed him of his seat.

'You know what Col?! You're the most unbelievable person I've ever met!'

Connie left to other part of the plane, she was trying to get away from Col.

Somewhere in the far back, away from him and everybody else, Connie started crying.

***

Lisa, the nurse who Kullervo took over...once, came to sit by Connie.

She never realised that the nurse was with them.

'So, what is your secret?'

Connie looked up, she still had crying marks under her eyes.

'How did you know?!' she exclaimed.

'I can read people.' Lisa replied, giving her weird expression.

Connie felt safe near her, so she told her;

'I'm not sure if you can take it.'

'I see...you know, I'll tell you my secret if you tell me yours.' it took Lisa a moment to say this out loud.

Something in Lisa's voice made Connie curious.

'Well, uh....could you go first.' she asked politely.

'Oh...okay, but I've never told anyone....okay, I'm...uh...I'm pregnant.' Lisa said as fast as she possibly could.

Connie was stunned, she looked at Lisa properly and saw that she had a bigger stomach, basically she was bigger around her waist.

'Okay, now it's your turn....' she really looked distressed now.

'But how did you get pregnant? I mean with who?'

'Do I really have to tell you?' she looked fed up.

'Yes, I really must know...please.' Connie gave her the-I'm-really-cornered-but-trust-me look.

Seeing no end to this, Lisa finally gave up.

'Well, I had a fiance, I though he loved me, we had the most amazing relationship ever, but a week before our marriage, I got pregnant. I told him that before our wedding, and he just dumped me like rubbish. I cried for weeks then, but finally got over it.'

After a moment of stunned silence, Lisa spoke;

'Can you tell me your secret now?'

Connie sighed, she knew that Mystical Creatures were involved, but she told her anyways.

Lol, Lisa pregnant? How could I come up with that?!

For people who don't remember Lisa: She's the nurse Kullervo took over, he then said that her name is Catherina but later she told them her real name, which is Lisa 'course.
