"Wh… wha… Where am I?" was Meshuga's predictable mumble. You could almost hear the sound of people- sitting at their monitors- rolling their eyes. Beside her bed, Tidus woke up.
"Hunh? Oh! You're awake!" he ran to the door, shouting for the whole island to hear: "HEY EVERYBODY! MESHUGA IS AWAKE!" Soon the sound of running feet could be heard, and Sora, Riku and Kairi charged into the room.
"…Meshuga?" she repeated, bemused. Her onlookers could now see that her eyes were the standard bright, sparkling blue. The breeze carried a faint sound of pointy sticks being sharpened- but nobody noticed, as it was irrelevant to their situation. Riku shook his head slightly to clear it of the multitude of disjointed thoughts that had just flooded his brain.
"Um, let me explain. We found you on the beach, unconscious. So, we brought you here and waited for you to wake up- that took two days, and by then we had taken to calling you Meshuga, because it's engraved on the sword we found you with. But, now you're awake, you can tell us your real name!"
"My… my real name…" she mumbled, her forehead creased in thought. "I… I don't remember…" Outside the window, a voice was heard to say,
"What is this, storyline department's day off? AMNESIA?!" but when Sora stuck his head out to see, there was no-one in sight. The readers smiled, recognising that one of their brethren had visited.
"Odd," he murmured, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"…So, you don't remember… anything?" Riku was saying, a look of concern about him. Meshuga nodded, rubbing her temples.
"That's right. Oh well- it looks like I'll be keeping 'Meshuga' for a while." She swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat up. "So what's this place?"
"This is Destiny Islands! We all hang out here. I'm Riku, that's Sora, Kairi and Tidus. There's a few more around, but doubtless you'll meet them later." Meshuga nodded, and, to everyone's amazement- after all, she had just spent two days in bed- tried to get up. Riku got up with her, which was a good thing because as soon as she was on her feet she wobbled and nearly fell, but Riku's arms closed around her and he held her up.
"You OK there? You probably shouldn't be trying to stand at this point-"
"I can do it, never mind that," Meshuga said in relaxed tones, gently pushing Riku away and running her hands through her hair. Kairi felt the need to add some information.
"Um- the clothes that the boys found you in were really tattered and stuff- we kept them for you anyway- but I gave you some new clothes for now." Meshuga inspected her outfit, and found a pair of long, below-the-knee length creamy coloured cargo shorts and a black Lycra crop top.
"Thank you," she said gratefully. Her mood suddenly lifted to unbearable heights of happiness, and she hugged Riku and Kairi each briefly, then ran outside. "This is gonna be so FUN!" she was heard to exclaim, and the occupants of the room exchanged glances.
