Mac hesitated. Terrence was worried about him, for once, and it was freaking the both of them out. He took a deep breath, that hurt a little. He started into space as all of his memories of Otenba poured out of him.
Meanwhile, At Foster's Otenba gazed in emptiness out of the big, old, stained-glass window she was sitting by. She had hidden in a part of the house that looked old because hardly anybody came into its empty hallways and in was in disrepair. Around her were old story books and an anicent record player. Otenba violently hit the wall in rage. The record player began to play 'Someday My Prince Will Come'. Otenba angerly groaned and put her head in her hands. She stared blankly at the aged window, it showed a scene of a handsome prince proposing to a stunning huntress in a beautiful mountainside garden. The record went on and on. Otenba stood up and pressed up aginst the window, she was looking to see if Mac was coming, she wanted to say she was sorry. No Mac. In this dark, lonely room, time....slowed down so much. She was waiting for an eternity for him, but she didn't care. Mac was different, Mac was...... special. And Otenba, she......loved him? Otenba shook her head, the thought didn't come out quite right. Mac was just her best buddy, like Bloo or Wilt or Coco or Ed. Imaginary friends couldn't love humans, could they? Wait a darn minute. What if she was human? Then maybe....no, she couldn't. She would have to leave her family behind her, and humans needed clothes, lots of clothes, and that would be expensive for her family and Foster's. And school, she had to go to school if she was human. What if Mac was an imaginary friend? No, there would be problems there, too. Any way she sliced it, Otenba came to one conclusion, love wasn't an option. Never was, never will be, so there. But in stories....wait, forget about those dumb stories, they aren't real.
"Otenba my dear..."
Otenba turned around, nobody was there, but a voice seemed to come from the shadows.
"I've got a present for you.....somthing that will make it all better..." The voice said.
A gloved hand streched out toward Otenba. In it, was a large beaker filled with a sparkling clear liquid. Otenba looked at the beaker, make it all better? Realy? In a blur, Otenba took the beaker and went back to her room that she shared with Wilt, Eduardo, Coco and Bloo. After she left, the being that had given her the beaker laughed evily, everything was according to plan. True, the liquid was a potion that changed beasts, the undead, and even imaginary friends into beautiful human version of themsleves, but it was the Ebony Fever thier precious 'Frankie' would suffer. The being curled her mouth into a hedious smile, and vanished. "Señorita Marimacho!!" Eduardo shouted in joy when he saw Otenba open the door. He, Coco, Wilt, and Bloo were waiting for Mac, too. But when they saw Otenba, they all hugged her and said sorry (Wilt said it the most, Ed placing a close second). Otenba had been in the aged room for hours and missed yesterday's lunch, dinner, desert, today's breakfast and lunch, so they were pure dead worried. "Guys, I've got somthing..." Otenba was cut off by Bloo.
"Water! Great! We can share this, thanks, Otenba!" Bloo said.
Otenba shrugged and went with the flow, it couldn't hurt. But when they took that first sip, they began to feel a little dizzy, and when they finished the 'water' the lot of them passed out. At the same time Frankie's vison started to blur, and she fainted, as well.
