Chapter 7: Bad Boyfriend

"You have got to stop worrying" Stella was watching Musa pace around the hospital floor.
"The doctor said that Muri just bruised his right paw, nothing too serious." Tecna assured her pale friend, she was stroking Tickit's head trying to soothe him to sleep.
"Yeah, okay" Musa was nibbling on her thumb, walking back and forth in front of the door where the doctor took Muri in.

After the incident with Jared's brother the girls immediately fled so that Muri can be tend to, Layla had dealt with the galling air headed, supposed, hero in training. They went straight to an animal's hospital, where Musa started to get uneasy.

"Sweetie, he's fine." Flora pulled Musa to a seat next to her and smiled, one of the most comforting things to see is a sweet nature fairy's smile.
"But.." Musa frowned and clutched her hands together, something was up with her today and one of it is her temper.
"Of course we understand, if one of our little babies got hurt we'd be in your situation." Bloom locked her arm around Musa's shoulder.
"If that guy hurts my little Tootsie he's going to get a right.." Stella swung her right arm. "And a left." she then swung her left. "Then my heels!" she stretched her legs up which revealed her 4 inch pink goblin and gabana branded heels.

The girls laughed while Musa let out a small giggle, Stella always knew what to say to make things better.

"Excuse me" the doctor stepped out of his office, he had a clipboard on his right with Muri's results.
"How is he? Can I see him?" Musa stood up and tried to look at the clipboard.
"Musa, he isn't dying." Tecna pulled her away from the doctor.
"Yes, thank you." the doctor adjusted his glasses and looked at the results. "You're dog is doing well, he just needs some rest and everything will be okay"

Musa sighed and smiled, she turned to the girls and they all nodded.

"He's up and we need to discuss some..." the doctor felt a light breeze pass him and he turned to his office, Musa had dashed in the room.

Musa peeked at the little station where Muri was resting and healing, he was lying down on his side and his whole body was shaking a bit. Musa inclined towards Muri and saw his little bruised, but bandaged, paw.

"Hey buddy" Musa whispered in to his delicate ear as she stroked his head, Muri didn't move at all. "How you doing?"

The doctor walked in with the girls and their little pets scurried up to Riven, the little station wasn't that high so the little ones got to jump to it. Each of the shadowed the injured pup and he seemed to be bothered by their presence, Muri was growling at each of them.

"Now, now." Musa giggled and stroked Muri's body, he didn't need to stress himself.

RIVEN POV

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" I glared at each of them, they were bothering my alone time with Musa.
"Checking up on our friend" Sky rolled his eyes and waved his flippers around.
"Want me to lick that for you" Timmy was licking his own paw.
"Get him away from me" I growled.

The guys were still huddling around me while the girls, including Musa, were talking to the doctor. I was trying to figure out what their conversation was but the guys were pestering me about the bruise, it was freaking annoying.

"Does is hurt?" Nabu sniffed and ran in circles around my injured paw.
"Can I open it?" Helia was drooling, it was like he wanted to take a bite of it.
"Don't even think about it, Helia" Brandon stopped him from walking any further, he was giving him an intimidating look but Helia seemed drawn to my paw.
"Helia? Who's Helia?" he questioned the bunny rabbit.
"Dude, you are" Brandon poked Helia on the chest, Helia was sitting while he diverted his eyes from us.
"No I'm not, I'm Patch" he chuckled and playfully pushed Brandon.
"Don't try giving Patch a new name, his mom already did that." Timmy joined in and sat next to Helia.
"Mom? You mean Flora?" Sky raised his eyebrow and crossed his little flippers.
"Yeah, you have Bloom." Timmy pointed at Sky. "You have Stella" he pointed at Brandon. "Patch has Flora" he pointed at Helia. "Bubu has Layla" he pointed at Nabu. "Muri has Musa" he pointed at me. "And I, Tickit, have Tecna" he proudly purred.

Sky and Brandon exchanged looks and turned to me, I closed my eyes and furrowed my brows. This is not happening at all, this couldn't be happening.

"Tickit!" Tecna called out, Timmy smiled and turned his attention towards her. "Come'er Tickit."
"You too Patch, lets go!" Flora extended her hands out and Helia quickly jumped down.
"Bubu, we've got something to do so come to mommy" Layla took out a piece of acorn and swayed it.

The three of them left the room with their respective partners while Stella, Bloom, and Musa stayed for a while as the doctor gave them something that I couldn't see.

"Dude, we really need to fix this as soon as possible" I whispered to Sky and Brandon, they were staring at their two girlfriends.

Stella and Bloom walked over to our area and they both stroked my fur, it felt nice and all but I needed to focus.

"Get well, Muri" Bloom took Sky and waved goodbye.
"Don't worry, you still look totally cute" Stella winked and took Brandon away as well.

I never really thought I would hear Stella call me cute, but hey, I was an animal. It was still really weird and awkward, when I get my body back I should really get on her bad side so the balance of the universe would be restored again.

"Don't worry, your friends will just have a check up" Musa took a seat next to me, I tilted my head which caused my ear to flop a bit and that made her giggle. "The doctor asked us about you and we told them your history, you know? The whole fire thing, anyways, he advised us to give you guys a check up just to see if anything else is wrong"

I rolled my eyes and rested my head again, we aren't like those dirty sickly animals that were found in the swamps. We looked pretty decent, and our furs looked healthy.

"So that means.." she poked my nose, damn she's cute. "You have to be nice to the vet."

I rolled to my side and tried to sit up, Musa shook her finger in front of me as a sign of a no no. But as the man I was I didn't listen and still tried to sit up, I just wanted to have a good look at her.

"Muri" she giggled.

The vet approached us and I didn't really trust him, I wasn't jealous, it's called animal instincts.

"We'll need you to be there since Muri has an injury and he might get restless" the doctor gave Musa a white coat. "You'll need that."

He then left the room and Musa turned to me again, she removed her jacket and wore on the white coat. She looked pretty hot as a doctor, I think I like being injured.

"Now Muri.." she carried me from the station and then we left the room.

We passed my some opened doors and the guys were there trying to escape the doctors, Brandon was being washed actually, and he looked like one of those really thin fur balls.

"Help me! No more!" Brandon was being cleaned, his fur did look a bit dirty.

I snickered and looked at the others, Timmy was having his shots, Helia was being groomed, Nabu had different devices attached to him while he was running, and the doctor was making Sky flap his flippers.

"Good luck!" I laughed and barked out the hallways.
"Muri!" Musa shushed me.

We entered a really big light blue room and a lot of techy stuff were beeping, the vet was by the window putting on his mask as machines started to warm up.

The vet pointed at the free table and Musa walked over to it, she placed me down and grabbed a wooden stool to sit on.

"Hello boy" the vet patted my head, I growled and shook my head. If I wasn't injured then he'd get a piece of me.
"Bad boy" Musa frowned and lightly tapped my head.

I looked away and the vet chuckled a bit, Musa shook her head at me and the vet started to do his job.

First he and Musa laid me down on my back and then the vet wore on his stethoscope, he placed it on my stomach and boy was I getting annoyed. That thing was really cold, even with my thick fur I could feel the cold circular part.

"Good, good" he took it off and began to write on his clipboard.

He gave Musa a little pop sickle stick and pointed at my mouth, he's smart, this guy knows I won't bite my girl.

"Open wide baby" Musa held on to my jaw, I obeyed quickly and she placed that stick in my mouth.

I could feel my breakfast running back up, my eyes were watery and I felt like puking.

"Good boy" she withdrew the stick as the doctor finished examining my mouth.

After what? 3 hours in that hell hole the doctor finished up with a shot, it was a shot for immunity or something. I accidentally placed some weight on my bruised paw as the needle entered my behind, Musa just laughed at my pain. Some support.

"So far nothing's really wrong with the animals" the vet gave the girls the results.

They each analyzed the papers and they each gave us a look, was there something wrong with us?

Stella took Brandon and checked on his ears, Brandon was squirming around as Stella blew the insides. Poor guy, I actually feel better seeing him in that state. Layla and Flora shook their heads and lightly slapped Nabu and Helia's bottoms, looks like they had something wrong with there... Arse.

"No more midnight nuts" Layla extended her hand out and Nabu scurried up to her shoulder. "You had nut shells in your tail."
"Same with you Patch" Flora carried Helia. "You have a unique tail for a bear so more crumbs will attach to you more."

Next was Bloom, she smiled and Sky and carried him. She patted his head and poked his beak, Sky just blushed.

"I never knew you had to brush a birds beak" she giggled.

And last was Tecna, she was rubbing Timmy's back. He was purring around as Tecna got the spots that he liked, it was not a sight to see at all.

"Now, you remember what the vet said Tickit." she placed him down. "You have to start running a bit"

I snickered at the thought, Timmy was the lightest of us all and now he was the fattest. Oh man, maybe this whole transformation thing ain't half bad.

Musa was talking to the doctor, she kept nodding in their conversation. After which she turned back to me and had a frown on her face, this means something bad. For me.

"What's up?" Layla ran to Musa, she let out a big sigh.
"The doctor said that if Muri doesn't start walking by tomorrow they'd have to cast his paw" she turned to me. "You won't like that, right?"

I sat up and barked over to her, she did't have to worry about that. I'm one strong guy, this little bruise was nothing. I've handled Darcy's dark magic, a bite from dragon taming, Cordatorta's harsh punishments, Timmy's failed experiments, and Musa's melodic blasts. This little bruise was just a walk in the park.

"Okay, okay" she laughed and took out a little bottle. "Here's some cream to help you heal up."

She placed some sort of pink cream on my paw and I felt the sting run up to my veins, it was like pouring a bucket of alcohol on an open wound. Man was it painful. But still, I can handle something this small.

"There's a good boy" Musa wiped the extra cream and scratched my jaw, now I understand why animals loved this.

As Musa pulled her hand away I noticed something odd, she had this healing wound on her palm. It looked like she had gripped something, but what?

I pouted and licked her palm, she withdrew and chuckled.

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt anymore." she assured with a warm smile. "I got this last week so the pain had subsided."

Last week? Hold on a minute, this is too much of a coincidence. Last week the girls had detention, last week the boys were in Red Fountain. Last week the girls couldn't do anything, last week the boys had to do training with us. But, last week Crescendo had wound on his palm which was caused by the rope during the obstacle course.

"Red Fountain was not a nice place" she stuck her tongue out and carried me.

Brandon and Sky looked at me and the three of us couldn't believe it, something was up and we couldn't put the pieces together. The answer was just there, it was on the tip of my tongue. But what? I started to squirm around so I could get another look at that wound, maybe something would click.

"Stop!" Musa was trying to balance her body. "Bad boy! Bad!"

She supported my weight on her left hand and leaned me on her chest, her right hand was opened and that's when I saw it again.. No doubt about it, Musa's scar really looked liked Crescendo's scar.

I'm working on the next chapter so just wait for it :) Tell me what you think about this chapter, kay kay? Thanks for all who prayed for the Philippines!
