As he staggered over to Kong Li intending to save Tobey - Will called, "Guys!" and charged through the round garden gate. Before Sid could get to Tobey, Will bravely ran up behind the villain and body slammed him forcing him to drop Tobey. As if he knew Kong Li wouldn't be a threat anymore and with his back to Kong Li; Will got back to Tobey and caught him before he fell. Kong Li jumped back up to his feet and left the garden without another word. The Shape Shifter released Nana and slithered away in the shape of an oily puddle. Nana immediately went to check on Sue. Will stood to Tobey's side with his arms around his shoulders to hold him up. He was coughing so hard from nearly being strangled he would have fallen. Sounding very worried Will asked, "Tobey are you alright? Can you talk to me?" Tobey could only nod that he was okay his hands at his throat like he was trying to hold his head on. Will gently hugged Tobey holding his head under his chin against his chest. He treated the boy he usually teased and pranked like a long lost friend and waited until he caught his breath. Nana couldn't quite believe it when Kong Li just left, but he did. When Sid saw that Tobey had been released and was standing up, he collapsed back to the ground his back in spasm and causing him great pain. Sue was holding her cast with tears in her eyes as Nana checked her. Her cast was crushed on one side where it hit the stone walkway. "Stay perfectly still Sue, I will be right back." Nana ran into Wu's to the storeroom. Sid managed to get up on one elbow so he could glare at Will. Even though he had just saved Tobey, Sid watched angrily. Why is Will still hugging on him? Sid screamed inside, Get your paws off! He couldn't stand it anymore and tried to get up to make Will let go of Tobey and check on him himself, but his legs wouldn't support his own weight. While on his hands and knees, tears welling up from the pain and frustration at not being able to help Tobey, now he was met with anger from Will! "You almost let Tobey get killed Sid! I thought you were supposed to be such a great fighter!" Will still held Tobey and he made no effort to move away. Tobey looked dazed, like he might pass out. While Will yelled at Sid and Sue, he pulled another bite of chocolate out of his pocket and put it in Tobey's mouth for him, he whispered kindly. "Suck on the chocolate Tobey, it will help make you feel better." Tobey looked pretty grateful as he tasted the fine chocolate. Then Will aimed more of his sharp tongue at Sid. "I thought you said you loved him - if I hadn't been passing by, that guy would have killed him! What was going on here anyway? Who was that guy?" Sid looked to Nana to see if she would answer Will's questions about Kong Li. Will didn't wait for an answer from anyone and turned his attention back to the weak boy in his arms. "Tobey, are you feeling better?" "Yeah Will - thanks." Tobey pushed on Will's shoulder to let him know to release him, but Will hugged him close and blew in his ear. After that Tobey let Will cup his cheek in his hands and raise his chin. Watching Will stare into Tobey's eyes made Sid's stomach tighten and his chest hurt as if he wasn't experiencing enough pain from his physical injuries. Sid didn't understand why Tobey was letting Will stay so close to him. He became so angry and forgetting everything else he yelled, "You better back off Will - get your paws off of him!" Sue and Nana looked up, not quite understanding the scene unfolding before them. Nana was in the middle of wrapping Sue's cast with duct tape she found in the storeroom for the trip back to the doctor. Will hugged Tobey tighter to his chest with one arm and shook his fist at Sid. "You don't look like you're in any position to make me Sid." Tobey, with sleepy eyes and a blank expression answered, "I will make you let me go Will . . . I am asking you, back up please. I appreciate your help – but I told you – I love Sid. I could never love you." Tobey spoke slower than he ever had in his life and turned out of Will's hug to go to Sid and help him get up. He expected Will to let him go, but he pulled Tobey back close and pressed his head to his shoulder. Will blew in Tobey's ear again and Tobey's sleepy, wet eyes softened, his lips parted slightly. Will surprised everyone by giving Tobey a kiss on the lips. Tobey's arms went limp and hung by his sides. He didn't fight at all, hanging in Will's arms like a rag doll. As Sid tried to stand, he groaned loudly and screamed through his clenched teeth as his back spasmed. He lie helpless over the nearest garden bench on his knees. Nana went to help him. "Sid, take it easy – we will find out what's going on." Nana held onto him so he wouldn't hurt himself even more and also keeping him from picking a fight with Will. Sid tried weakly to pull away from Nana. "Tobey how could you?" Tobey raised his hand and put his fingers into Will's hair, stroking and brushing his hair off his forehead he spoke softly. "You have the softest, blondest hair I've ever seen." Tobey had no emotion on his face when he said it, just a soft relaxed smile that made Sid even angrier. How could Tobey suddenly do this right in front of him? And without even any remorse or even an apology? Nana led Sid back to the nearest bench and made him lie down on his side where he couldn't see Tobey and Will anymore. Sid didn't want to watch anymore anyway and covered his head with his arms in anguish. Nana went over to Tobey and Will to break it up, whatever 'it' was. "Will thank you for your help in getting rid of that home invader, but I think you should leave. I have to check Tobey and the others for injuries and get them treated. I am sure we will be seeing you soon." Will frowned at Nana, "Oh yeah, you will be seeing me soon. I'll be back in a couple of hours to take Tobey out on our date." "Tobey won't be up to going out with you, I suggest you call first tomorrow to see how he is feeling." Nana watched Will stomp away like a spoiled child not getting his way. Sue held her casted and duct taped arm against her stomach and went over to her brother. "Sid how badly are you hurt? I saw Kong Li hit you really hard." "What Kong Li did doesn't matter. My heart is broken." Sid sniffled and with his head covered he whimpered trying to stop tears from coming. Sue could see his stomach shudder and new he was crying even though she couldn't see his face. She touched his shoulder and he didn't respond. Tobey walked in front of Nana, heading for the back door. He didn't even look towards Sue and Sid, but Sid heard him and then saw him. He raised up as much as he could and tried to talk to him. "Tobey, what have I done? Did I do something that made you mad at me? You know - I tried to save you – both times - I really did. If Will hadn't shown up, I would have saved you I was just slowed down by my injuries." "What?" Tobey stopped and swayed. Nana steadied him with her hand behind his elbow. He looked over at Sid and cried suddenly, "Sid you're hurt! See! I told you it was way too close to the dream I had – it was a warning!" Tobey went up behind the bench opposite of where Sue was kneeling by her brother. The stone bench had no back on it so Tobey had nothing to get in the way of hugging Sid, gently. "Tobey? What's going on?" "Sid?" Tobey looked at Sid but spoke to Nana. "Nana why aren't we taking him inside? It's cold out here and he's hurt!" "Yes Tobey, Sue is hurt too. Her cast is broken. We have to take her to see a doctor and get a new cast put on. How are you feeling?" "Well pretty good after a roof and then a wall fell on me. My shoulders hurt a little and I have a huge headache – but I'll be fine . . . I'm worried about Sid! Kong Li jabbed him in his back!" "Okay Tobey, I will take Sue in, can you help Sid? A cab should be arriving any second to take us back to the hospital. Nana helped Sue get up from her knees and took her inside . Tobey turned his attention back to his boyfriend. "Sid. Can you sit up? Or I can try to carry you – your foot is bleeding." "Yeah Tobey, I'll sit up." Sid sat up, watching Tobey out of the corner of his eye, unsure what was going on. Tobey pulled Sid's shirt up in the back. "Oh thank goodness there is no hole. Kong Li's staff didn't break your skin, but you are already bruising." "Tobey, What about Will? What was that all about?" "Oh I don't know Sid, I think he is crazy. He should know I would never leave you." "But Tobey, you let him kiss you and you said he has the softest hair or something." "Sid, he did help to scare Kong Li away, that is all." "Then you don't think he has the softest blondest hair?" "Who knows? I wouldn't wanna touch it to find out. Come on Sid, let me help you get inside to wait for our ride. Sid was feeling very confused. What Tobey said, totally conflicted with what he did. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Sid, in a wheelchair and Sue still walking with Nana, were led into treatment areas right next to each other. Tobey stayed by Sid and held his hand while nurses cleaned and treated the burns on his feet. The cut Kong Li made with his staff in the bottom of Sid's foot took twelve stitches under a local anesthetic and the nurse put thick bandages on his feet that went just above his ankles to cover the burns. Sid made up a story about falling through a bonfire at a beach party and got scolded by the nurse for attending such a thing at his age. Sid was finished long before Sue was and wearing huge slippers over his bandaged feet went with Tobey to the waiting area. Nana stayed with Sue. More x rays were taken of Sue's arm to be sure she didn't do any more damage. The doctor seemed a little surprised that there was no additional damage, even though she hit it hard enough to crush one side of the cast. He was also annoyed with her. She told him she fell off her bike and he scolded her for riding her bike in the first place. Nana sat quietly, just listening until the doctor's and nurse's left. When they were alone, Nana and Sue spoke about what happened while they waited. "Nana, did you see that? It was so weird - Kong Li was winning and when Will showed up he just left. What's going on? Will has no skills - Kong Li could have beaten him with one finger." "I saw Sue, it was very odd indeed." "And this thing between Will and Tobey, it makes no sense for Will to be acting like he is, or Tobey to be letting him. They are acting so strange. One minute Tobey loves Sid and the next he is letting Will kiss him! Nana, what's going on?" "I don't know for sure Sue, but we will find out. Kong Li is up to something sinister and it centers around Tobey again." "Right Nana, I heard Kong Li say to Tobey that he would prove that he is his father. Why would he care now? The festival is over." "Kong Li still wants Tobey at his side now. The prophesy is still predicting that Tobey will be at his side when he wins and there will be another festival. Kong Li doesn't care about Tobey, but he does care about the prophesy. He is trying to take him back again, I am sure of it." "Well, we will stop him! We will protect Tobey - he belongs with us, but Nana, how do you think Will fits in with all of this?" "Kong Li may be controlling him too. It's been a long time, weeks since Will has been in school right?" "Yes, but he was in juvenile detention for beating that boy up." "That is a long time for a schoolyard fight. I will check the county records and see if Will really was in detention all the time he was gone. If Kong Li captured him, it was plenty enough time for him to brainwash him somehow. There are recipes that will allow one person to take over someone else. Like the one General Qiang used to take over your teacher, Mr. Andrews. Really, he wouldn't have even had to use a recipe, there are many simple spells and potions that can be found in places other than my master's cookbook. Even simple hypnosis could be used for something like this I think, if one is skilled enough." "But why would he chose Will?" "I don't know for sure yet Sue, but if my theory is correct, he wanted someone familiar to you three who could get close. Especially to be able to get close to both boys and cause bad feelings between Sid and Tobey. If they are fighting, it will be easier for Kong Li to take Tobey away from us." "Nana – we have to do something!" "We will - Kong Li won't win this time either." Nana used her phone to get on the county's web site to check the records and see where Will was while the nurse's came back to put a new cast on Sue's arm. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Sid and Tobey walked slowly down the hall, with Tobey holding Sid's arm. He walked on the bandages like he was walking on eggshells and trying not to break them. "Hey Sid! You're walking better." "You mean, I'm walking at all. My feet feel a little better, the foot that got stitches is still asleep from the local anesthetic, so it doesn't hurt at all, yet." Tobey guided Sid to sit on the couch and sat next to him. Unable to delay talking to Tobey any longer Sid asked, "Tobey why did you let Will touch you like that?" "Touch me like what?" "You let him kiss you and what was worse - you seemed to enjoy it." "He did NOT kiss me! If he even tried - I would flatten him. Did you bang your head Sid?" "No my head is fine - I know what I saw Tobey! Nana and Sue all saw you too. After Will saved you from Kong Li - you let him kiss you!" "I would never do that and Will didn't save me, you did. That's how you got hurt, and I feel terrible about it." "Tobey, don't you remember Will knocking Kong Li down?" "No, you knocked Kong Li down and then Kong Li jabbed you in the back with his staff and I caught you and you kissed me." "That isn't even possible Tobey! I couldn't have kissed you, and you were too far away to catch me. I was on the ground after Kong Li jabbed me – Oh no, Tobey, maybe that's it! Part of the wall when it crumbled must have hit you in the head and you were hallucinating or something." Sid reached up and started feeling for tender places all over Tobey's skull. I thought you looked confused or like you were dreaming. You really thought you were kissing me?" "Of course I was, I would kiss no one else!" Sid hugged Tobey, "Thank-you - Thank-you!" "Thank me? Why?" "Thank-you for not. . . um never mind. Come on we have to go tell Nana you need you're head checked too" "I'm fine Sid. Only a little headache. My shoulder's hurt more than my head does now." Tobey crossed his arms in front of his chest and rubbed his own shoulders. "Here Tobey, turn around." Tobey turned with his back toward Sid and he started rubbing his shoulders and back for him. Tobey purred, "Oh Sid, that feels wonderful!" "After Sid rubbed his back for several minutes he guided him back by his shoulders to lay against him. Sid leaned with his sore back on the fluffy end of the couch with Tobey laying back against his stomach. That is how Nana found them when she came looking for them. Sid had both arms around Tobey, and Tobey was asleep so she spoke softly, "Glad to see you two getting along." "Nana, I think Tobey hit his head. He said he thought he kissed me and not Will after the fight." "I will get the doctor's to check him before we leave, but I have another theory Sid. Will was never in juvenile detention – I think he is working for Kong Li!" "Will wouldn't work for Kong Li. He doesn't know anything about this." "I think he does, unwillingly perhaps, but you boys have to watch out for Will – regard him as the enemy until I can figure out more of what is going on." "Alright Nana, that makes as much sense as anything else that has happened lately." A nurse pushed a wheelchair with Sue in it into the waiting area and up to the end of the couch where Sid and Tobey sat. "Hey Sue, I like your new cast. Green suits you too. Doesn't she look great Sid?" "Yeah Sue, the dark circles under your eyes really make your brown eyes look bigger." "Well Sid, you are looking good too, all hunched over like a little old man, love your new shoes too. I dare you to wear them to school!" While the siblings exchanged insults, Nana stopped the nurse and asked if someone could check Tobey to be sure he was alright. The nurse agreed not even bothering to ask what happened to him and went to get another wheelchair. Nana gently woke Tobey to make him get off of Sid and into the wheelchair. "Aw, no-I'm sleeping!" "After we make sure you are alright you can go home and sleep as long as you want Tobey." Tobey reluctantly sat in the wheelchair and let the nurse push him to the nearest treatment area. Doctor's found no evidence of Tobey having a head injury. So they were all released. Sid had some good muscle relaxer medicine to help his back feel better until he healed. He had pain medication too, mostly for his burned feet and was ordered to stay off his feet as much as possible for a few days at least. Nana went to talk to Sid when he was alone in the boy's room a little while after they got home. "Sid, how does Tobey seem to you?" "I don't know Nana, he seems like himself now – but he still insists that I was the one he kissed." "He may really remember it that way even though the doctors said he didn't bang his head." "They why doesn't he remember what happened? Maybe he feels bad for letting it happen and he is in some kind of denial complicated by stress. Is he lying?" "No Sid, Tobey isn't lying. I think he really remembers it like he says. Have you seen him eat or drink anything that didn't come from the restaurant lately." "Will gave him a piece of chocolate, twice." "That could be it. I think the chocolate could have something in it to confuse Tobey's thoughts. Keep a close eye on Tobey, we mustn't let Will be around him or give him anything else to eat." "Alright Nana. Are you sure Tobey isn't developing feelings for Will ? It was so upsetting – I thought I lost him . . ." "Sid, be on your guard. Don't let your feelings cloud your judgment or affect your actions. Tobey needs you." "Don't worry Nana, I will protect him, even if he breaks my heart." [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Barney greeted Sue when she wandered into the kitchen. He already had a present in his hands for her like he had been waiting for her the whole time. He had to help her open it since she only had one hand, but he let her lift out what was inside. "Oh Barney! It is so cute! A red cast cover with small white bunnies on it! It's perfect – I didn't like the green casting material they used this time." Sue hugged barney with one arm and he blushed as he helped her put it on over her cast. Once it was on Sue squealed and hugged him again. Without thinking she lightly kissed his cheek. She pulled back quickly and they both blushed. Barney smiled and lifted her face to look at him with his finger under her chin. "I love you Sue." She was so delighted! Finally – he noticed! "Barney I love you too!" Barney tilted his head to the side slightly and slowly brought his lips to hers, when she didn't pull away he kissed her long and passionately. Sue smiled at him when he finally broke their kiss and asked, "Would you go steady with me Sue?" "Yes Barney – I would love to go steady with you!" They kissed again and that is how Tobey found them when he went into the kitchen looking for something to eat. "Ew – you two! Don't do that in the kitchen where the food is!" Barney didn't even hear Tobey, he was so involved. Sue heard him and giggled softly. Sue and Barney swapped spit the whole time Tobey was heating up some shrimp fried rice. Tobey thought maybe Barney really was trying to eat her and suddenly found himself missing Sid. Before Tobey sat down to eat he went up to get Sid so they could eat together in the dining room. Sid came limping after Tobey and sat with him in a booth to share the fried rice. Tobey picked out every shrimp he saw and Sid didn't even get one. "You owe me some shrimp buddy." "You snooze you lose." Sid chucked at Tobey's attitude toward food and was so happy that Tobey seemed normal now, but the good mood was interrupted. Completely ignoring Nana's order's to call first the next day, Will came by as he promised. The bell over the door rang when he came in and Sid looked to see who it was. Tobey saw Sid frown and looked too as Sid spoke to him. "Why are you back today Will? Nana told you to stay away and just call tomorrow if you are worried." "Tobey and I have a date." "We do not I told you no!" Tobey argued. "Well I heard no at first, then I heard I have soft blond hair and you made a date with me." "I did not!" Tobey argued again, but now he was confused. Sid had mentioned that he thought Tobey told Will that he had soft blond hair. Tobey insisted, "There is no way I said that!" Will got in the booth behind the boys turned around with his knees on the seat. Leaning over the back of the seat, his head was in-between Sid and Tobey's, looking at Tobey. "Don't tell me you want to cancel our date?" "We never had . . . " Sid couldn't see what Will was doing exactly, but was sure he couldn't do anything to Tobey with him so close. Tobey stopped speaking as Will blew in his ear. "Are you ready now to go on our date Tobey?" "Yes, what took you so long? I've been looking forward to this all day long." Sid grabbed Tobey's arm, "Tobey? Tobey! You just changed your mind - just like that! Nana wants us to stay home and rest!" Tobey twisted his arm out of Sid's grip and Sid followed Tobey out of the booth. "What?" Tobey looked confused again. "What's going on . . . Tobey? – You just got done telling him no and now you're going with him 'cause he blew in your ear?" "No Sid, I'm going with him because I love him." Tobey answered as Will guided him to the door. Sid hobbled after them as fast as he was able. "That's it! What are you doing to him, Will?" His hands on Will's shoulders, Sid pushed him away from Tobey and backwards across the dining room. He stopped when he had him with his back against the counter by the cash register. "What did you do to him Will? I know there are magic spells for mind control and even love spells – did you find a recipe?" "I don't know what you're talking about Sid, I have no recipe – and I didn't' do anything to him, he just likes me more than you." "I told you to leave him alone!" "You don't own him." While Sid held Will against the counter, Tobey came quietly up behind him and looked over his shoulder into Will's eyes briefly. Will smiled, Tobey eyes glazed over and softened as though he was about to fall asleep, but instead he punched Sid in the middle of his back as hard as he could. Sid saw stars and fell into Will. Will pushed him away and he fell to the floor face down. Sid couldn't move. Two hits to the spinal cord in only a few hours was really getting to him. "Tobey . . . Why?" he groaned and looked up. Tobey had his arm around Will and grinning smugly while Will nibbled, and blew on his ear. "Forget it Sid. I'm going out with Will. You and I are done!" Tobey and Will left Wu's Garden. Will's arm was over Tobey's shoulders and Tobey's hand was in Will's back pocket, just like he did when he walked with Sid. They left Sid lying on the floor for someone else to find. Several minutes later, Barney heard whimpering, maybe crying and went to the dining room to investigate. He found Sid lying face down, resting his forehead on his arms. "Sid – Why are you on the floor?" "It doesn't matter." "You cant be on the floor out here, what if we get customers?" "I cant move, I cant even feel my legs." "Are you serious?" Sid didn't respond again. "Hang on!" Barney went to the stairs and yelled, "Nana! Come quick - Sid's on the floor!" Sue heard too and got up. She followed Nana downstairs. Nana kneeled next to Sid. "What happened?" "Tobey hit me and left with Will – I couldn't stop them! He hit me in the same place Kong Li's staff hit me on purpose! I couldn't even feel my legs at first, but now they are all tingly." "Can you move your legs now Sid?" Nana was relieved to see Sid move his legs even though it was only a little. "We should take you back to the hospital." "No, - there's no time - just help me into a booth. The tingling has turned into pain, -aaagnnnn, at least I can feel my legs now, right? I have to find Tobey before he gets hurt or does something he'll regret!" "You can't leave Sid – you should go up to your room and lie on your bunk for a while at least- I will go find Tobey." "No I wouldn't make it up the stairs right now – and you cant take a chance on breaking your cast, or your arm again. I just need to sit for a minute – until this passes. Then I will go after Tobey!" Nana listened quietly to the conversation as she and Barney helped Sid to a booth, he leaned forward with his head on the table. Sue and Nana sat across from him and Barney went back to work. "You can't go Bro! You could permanently hurt your back!" "The only way you will stop me is to tie me up – if you can Sue." "You talk real tough for someone who is too weak to walk on his own." "An jing Sue - I think Will did something to Tobey. You were right Nana. I had Will backed against the counter, trying to get him to tell me the truth and Tobey hit me. I can't accept that Tobey would try to hurt me and just leave – and for Will of all people. Tobey doesn't even like Will." "WHAT did he do to him Sid? Will couldn't know magic." Sue sounded more irritated than she was, she was scared. "I don't know, the chocolate he keeps giving Tobey must have something in it and Tobey seems to change after will blows in his ear." "Kids, that could be it. If Tobey has been hypnotized, a soft touch by a hand or something like blowing in his ear, could be what sends him into the trance. He is fighting it and returning to normal still, but if Will does it enough, especially if Kong Li is using some kind of potion besides, I suspect Tobey won't be able to fight it forever!" "Sit here Sid until I come back at least, I will bring you something that should help, even if only temporarily making your back feel better . . . and then I will go with you." Sid watched Tobey's GPS signal on his phone while he waited for Nana. "At least his GPS is on – we will be able to find him. They are heading inland, away from the pier." "Seems strange if Kong Li is involved, all the hideouts we know about are near the wharf." While Sid and Sue pondered Tobey's whereabouts, Nana returned with a jar of yellow goo for Sid to drink. Sid made a face and forced it down before Nana could even tell him what it was. "Sid, be extra careful, you are still hurt even though this will temporarily make you feel better. You could be hurt even worse and not know it right away this potion blocks the pain and temporarily strengthens the muscles around the injury to help you compensate for it." "Thanks Nana, lets go!" [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Tobey continued . . .
