Sorry I didn't mention this earlier, but today is Fidgel's birthday! Huzzah Doctor! However, I won't be on the Rockhopper to party. When uncle Zidgel came to wake me up this morning, I was breathing, but I wouldn't wake up. So, I was taken to the hospital, which in reality means to the E.R., t o be checked on. Turns out I passed out last night after I woke up from my nightmare instead of going back to sleep, but I have to stay until I'm released. There is one sunny side to this, I get to spend time with Doctor Fiona!
I didn't know she was my health doctor until she told me when I woke up in the Emergency Room. I'm happy, I don't have to stay in a sterile room with a total stranger for hours. "So Ester, what did you get Fidgel for his birthday?" Fiona asks as I'm checking whatever pockets I have.(didn't have to wear one of those stupid hospital robes) I pull out a small black box. "A silver bangle with a diamond charm." I take off the lid and show it to her. She covers her beak and puts the lid back on. "Oh Ester, that is beautiful. How did you get the money to buy this?"
"Simple, I did like the other three, I saved up my pay as an officer." i reply as I'm given the box back. "Did you get him something Fee?"
"Well...do you promise not to tell anyone?"
"Promise."
"I got Fidgel a kitten." I drop my jaw in surprise, but Fiona continues with a chuckle, "He's always wanted one." At that same time, I notice a cardboard box with holes beside her. "Can please see it Doctor?" I sweetly ask. Fiona shakes her head, "I don't want to disturb her." I nod in complete comprehension.
We spend the next two or three hours talking. About our stats(if he thinks either us annoying or helpful, sweet, ya know.) with Fidgel, mocking him a little bit, stuff the other didn't know about Fidge, and why Fiona and Fidgel haven't spoken to each other for so long. "I simply thought Fidgel had forgotten about me after a couple of years." Fiona says sadly. "But now I-"
"Sorry Doctor Fiona, but Ms. Shiloh has a visitor." a voice on the room speaker says. Just then, he comes in. "Doctor Fidgel, happy birthday!" I say as I hop off my bed and hug Fidgel. He hugs me back lightly, trying not to hurt me, and says, "Thank you Ester." We let go of each other and I get back on my bed. The doctors, however, stare at each other in surprise.
"Doctor Fiona...is it really you?" Fidgel stutters. Fiona nods and walks up to him, "Yes, Doctor Fidgel, it is. After all of these years." They embrace each other for the first time in forever. Best friend reunion! I nervously hold out the bangle box to Fidgel. "Umm...Fidge?" The doctor takes the box and opens it. "Ester, this is marvelous! Thank you." He puts the bangle on as Fiona hands him her gift. Fidgel slowly takes off the lid and gasps. He pulls out a tiny black and white she-kit with sky blue eyes.
"Fiona you remembered! Thank you, she's cute." Doctor Fiona blushes. "How could I not?" From there, the rest of the day was great. When I was finally released from the hospital, Fiona came with us back on the Rockhopper since her shift was over. We partied for the rest of the day, until we had to take Fiona home. Hey, you wanna know something cool? Fiona and Zeena are best friends! Ah, today was definitely a good Saturday.
