To all those who get bored in hospitals. Even Rainbow Dash gets a little bored sometimes.
Iron Heart Mastema lay on his bed by the window, in the sunshine. He had recently fought against some wild Void units attempting to enter the Angel Feather hospitals. His right arm and left leg were severely wounded, and he was required to stay in bed for a long time until he was released.
And he was bored. Like, he was considering going to go insane and go on a rampage bored.
That's extreme.
He had already finished all the crosswords in the magazines the nurses handed out every day, read a few long novels, played a few video games but the power ran out and had counted 1,000 sheep. He wished he had some visitors. His family wasn't with him anymore, thanks to the battles against Void.
He wished he had someone visit him. Just anyone. Even a stranger, but not someone who worked here. His side table was bare, no cards, no flowers.
Until a little girl popped in behind the curtain next to him and walked to the foot of his bed.
"Hi there mister!" She happily smiled, moving to sit down at a chair next to his bed. He turned his head to look at her, confused.
"Who are you?" He asked. He didn't think a girl like this one right there was going to visit. He didn't even KNOW who she was.
"I'm Nociel!"
"W-What do you do here?" He groaned, rubbing his right arm. Judging by her petite white dress and halo (That pretty much every nurse and doctor here had on), she looked like a mini-nurse.
Heh, a mini-nurse.
"I don't work here yet." Mastema was confused. Then why was she here?
"Then, why are you here?" He asked. She looked around quickly and then whispered softly into his right ear.
"I'm not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be in school. But I visit everyone here. School isn't like the real thing." He smiled. He was already liking this girl. This was precisely what he did when he was small, during boring days and classes.
"Does your parents know?" She nodded, but seemed sad.
"They died in the fight against Void. I hope they're with me all the time."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure they're here." Mastema sadly smiled.
"But why did you visit me?" Mastema asked. During his time here, no one other than the nurses came. She tapped her chin in thought.
"Um... well I saw you all alone the other day and your table was empty, so I bought you something to help." He raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" Nociel nodded.
"Yeah! I got you some flowers." She raised a bundle of flowers. Blue, green, yellow and white.
'Patriotic, much?' He thought. But he then decided that she just probably selected these flowers for no particular reason.
"Here, I'll put them there." Nociel moved around the bed and placed the bundle of flowers on the table. He chuckled. Something was finally there. Something colourful, something proud.
Hang on, what was that? There was a bell dangling from the belt on her waist. A golden bell.
"Hey, what's that bell for?" She looked down and picked out the bell from its hook on her belt.
"This is my happy bell." Mastema didn't think a bell could make him happy. But he played along when he saw her eyes gleam with pride as she held the golden shining bell in her hands.
"Could you ring it for me?" Nociel nodded, and rang her bell. It had a wonderful sound, and it echoed in his head long after it had gone.
"How do you like it?" Mastema smiled.
"It's wonderful. You know..." Mastema thought.
"You could work here as 'Happy Bell, Nociel'. Hah, that rhymed!" He laughed at his own wit. Nociel slowly nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that sounds pretty good." She laughed.
"What's your name?" Nociel asked.
"Just Mastema." He said. Nociel tried to think of a name like what he did to her, but Mastema interrupted.
"Some call me Iron Heart Mastema."
"Do you know why?" Nociel asked.
"I don't really know. But it's me." He shrugged, but smiled again.
"Well, let's start this again. I'm Iron Heart Mastema."
"And I'm Happy Bell, Nociel!" She responded.
And that was the start of the friendship between warrior and child.
