Sorry about the long wait, I've gotten busy with college, and by the end of the day I'm just wiped and can't think straight. So I decided to upload the rest of this story all in one sitting to spare you guys any suspense. I am so glad to be done this story because it was an emotional crapshoot for me to deal with.


Chapter Twelve: Timmy's Bliss, Tecna's Torture

During Timmy's dream simulation therapy, he appeared in a room in front of a canopy bed of a soft light purple with a matching duvet lined with pillows. He turned around to notice a gigantic flat screen TV, and underneath, the very latest gaming console was set up with a large assortment of games sprawled all over the shelves in no organized fashion, just a casual and relaxing setting. On the far wall, Timmy could see a work space was set up with numerous gadgets and equipment for him to work on his inventions. And in the far corner, there was a place to prepare and eat meals, and what looked like a door to a storage room, and another nearest the living space which he assumed was a bathroom. It was a perfect little safe haven for him and the one that meant the whole universe to him, Tecna. He sighed heavily, turning towards the bed. As he got closer, there she was, wrapped in the duvet like a beautiful butterfly hibernating within its chrysalis. This was all he ever wanted, just to watch over her relaxed and peaceful form, sleeping or not, and know that there was nothing in the world that could take her away from him. He was desperate to reach his hand out and gently caress her short magenta hair while she slept, but he was afraid. He didn't know in what condition she'd be in when she awakens. She may be on the verge of dying, and this peaceful and welcoming room would just be an emotional trap for him. Suddenly, as those worrisome thoughts began to flood his mind, a sharp surge of calmness overwhelmed him. It was the medication they were giving him within these simulations, just so that the traumatic thoughts that took over his mind would subside. In his new state of calmness, Timmy proceeded to slip his fingers delicately through Tecna's silky pink hair as a reassuring voice kept ringing in his ear.

"Tecna is just fine, she is safe and healthy... There is no need for doubt." The voice told him, surrounding him, and he trusted it. For some illogical reason, Timmy knew he could trust this voice, that it was telling him the truth. He could've thought that the voice was just telling him what he wanted to hear and that the world was hiding something from him about Tecna's true state, but the medication blocked all traces of suspicious thinking from his mind. Those thoughts were just the memories of the three tests overtaking him, and they needed to be controlled. Moments later, Tecna slowly moved under the duvet, and opened her enchanting teal eyes to see the love of her life looking down at her, she was wearing a long silk housecoat overtop a knee length dress-like nightie, it may have been one of the most beautiful outfits Timmy had ever seen her in.

"Good morning, my hero." She began, he voice lively and cheerful, the complete opposite of what he was expecting, and with that knowledge, a bright smile spread across his face.

"My Cupcake, you're just so beautiful." He whispered, pulling her gently up from her laying position on the bed and tightly embracing her.

"Do I have to get up any time soon? I'd like to lay here just a bit longer." She asked him sweetly, and Timmy just placed a passionate kiss on her unsuspecting lips as a response.

"Absolutely not, you can do whatever you want, I'll even make you breakfast." He told her as he left for the kitchen in the corner of the room, "What would you like?"

"Surprise me." Tecna replied with a giggle as she lay her head down on her pillow once again. In about fifteen minutes or so, Timmy had a tray prepared with two fried eggs, a bagel split in half with cream cheese spread on top, and a soothingly warm cup of coffee. He placed the tray in front of her as she sat up in the bed. Tecna gasped to see big breakfast that Timmy had made for her.

"Is this a big enough surprise for you?" He asked with a laugh, and all she could do was smile widely.

"All this is for me, aren't you going to eat, Timmy?" She answered him in concern.

"Don't you worry about me, Tecna, everything I ever do is for you." He reassured her, "Just enjoy yourself, and I'll take care of you." Honestly, Timmy could stay trapped in the dream simulation therapy forever, spoiling and pampering his treasured girlfriend. He was at peace now, knowing he would never leave her side. Later on in their simulated day, Tecna and Timmy decided to test out the new gaming system that was set up for them. There were two pairs of goggles connected wirelessly to the console, so it was as if they were actually in the game as they played. The two technology geniuses must've been playing for endless hours with pizza and soda, and it just felt like total bliss for the ginger haired Specialist, even if Tecna must've beaten him in every game they played. He couldn't care less, he was with the one he loved, and that was the most important thing to him right now. By the end of the night, Timmy had collapsed on the big canopy bed with Tecna wrapped in his arms with the comforting duvet, if this wasn't a dream already, his dreams would be everything he could ever ask for, knowing Tecna was so close to him.


Meanwhile, back in the real world at Alfea, the real Tecna stared miserably out of the balcony window, trying desperately to hold back tears. She still believed that she was the cause of Timmy's trauma, that she was the reason he had to undergo therapy and medical treatment. That was the complete opposite of the truth, she was the only thing keeping him from losing his mind, but she didn't know that.

"Tecna, you've been like this for days, you won't even eat." Flora began hesitantly, "We want to take you to see Ms Faragonda and nurse Ophelia."

"It's my fault..." The technology fairy continued to repeat the same words over and over.

"This is the best thing for him right now, he'll be treated and you be able to see him again very soon." Bloom told her, but the reassuring words were just drowned out by the repetitive thoughts of the distressed fairy.

"Timmy wouldn't want you to be this depressed." Stella added, only for poor Tecna to burst into tears and run to the bedroom she shared with Musa. The rest of the girls gave the Solarian Princess looks of disapproval.

"Stella, we went over this, saying Timmy's name only makes her have an emotional break down." Layla scolded.

"This is really bad, Tecna is usually so logical and calm, without Timmy, she doesn't know what to do." Flora sighed sadly, looking toward Tecna's bedroom.

"It's not just his absence, she'd be okay with that, it's the whole experience with his trauma and the challenges he went through to get her back. Timmy was driven insane, and only because he wanted to protect her and keep her from having any more pain than she was already in. She is so convinced that she is the cause of his insanity." Bloom explained, and they all stared off broken hearted towards Tecna and Musa's room.
