It was morning, and Tecna opened her eyes, still feeling the IV in her wrist. She felt stronger than she had the previous night, and she looked up to see Timmy smile at her.
"Wake up, Tec." he chuckled.
"Timmy? Was I dreaming? Was the food a dream, it had to be." Tecna sat up in the bed, and Timmy could tell she still couldn't get over what the Retreat Realm would be like.
"No Tecna, it wasn't a dream. That is how all the meals here are served. How was it anyway?" he asked.
"It was wonderful, I thought I was dreaming, it felt like it." Tecna sighed. Just then, Dr Marson walked in the room.
"Ah, you're awake. Perfect." he replied, "Did you enjoy dinner last night?"
"I though I was dreaming it, but obviously I wasn't." Tecna smiled.
"I know, it's that incredible." Dr. Marson smiled, "Now how about getting that thing out of your wrist?" He gently grabbed her wrist, then explained how he was going to do it. Then he slowly pulled the needle out and unwrapped the bandages, then he placed a tiny bandage on the place where the needle had been.
"There, done." he replied. Tecna lifted her wrist and moved it a little, no more pain. Timmy smiled at her, and then he went to hug her.
"You must love her very much if you're the only person who can keep her relaxed." Dr. Marson told Timmy.
"Yes." Timmy answered, holding Tecna close to him, he knew she wanted this embrace since she woke up in the ambulance.
"I'll let you spend some time together while I get you some breakfast." Dr. Marson replied as he walked out of the room.
"Timmy?" Tecna asked quietly.
"Yes." he answered her.
"How do you know what the rest of this realm is like?" she asked.
"Dr. Marson showed me a brochure, it looks like the perfect place for fairies all over to recover." Timmy explained, "They even have customized rooms, I can't wait for you to see what ours is like."
"What do you mean by customized?" Tecna asked.
"Well, for example, if Flora were to stay here for a while, I bet her room would be full of plants and sunlight, something she'd love. As for us, well, we'll just have to see." Timmy explained.
"I see." Tecna sighed, then the door opened when Dr. Marson rolled in with Tecna's breakfast tray, it looked just like the one she had the previous night, but with a glass of milk instead of water.
"So I wasn't dreaming." she gasped.
"Of course you weren't Tec, this is how it is here." Timmy replied.
"You'll get used to it, you're just in shock right now." Dr. Marson told her, "Check out what you have for breakfast." Tecna lifted the lid to see a variety of foods, a muffin, an apple, a bagel and more.
"Wow, this is amazing, I just keep thinking…" Tecna couldn't quite grasp the fact that there were no more strings attached, no catches, this was all for her and all she had to do was enjoy it.
"That there's a hidden catch, everyone thinks that once they come here, but most of the time it has already been paid for." Dr. Marson explained warmly. After Tecna ate, Dr. Marson and Timmy helped her out of bed, she was still pretty wobbly, but she quickly regained her footing.
"Now, I advise you to take it easy with her for a while, her last emotion attack took a lot out of her." Dr. Marson told Timmy.
"That's what I told her last night, but she was still pretty unsure." Timmy replied.
"Now I want to show you to your new room, in the resort sector of this realm." Dr. Marson told Tecna.
"Is it a long way away?" she asked.
"Actually no, the hospital and resort sectors are all in one huge building, there's plenty for you to see." They walked carefully down hallway after hallway until they spotted the place.
"Ah, here we are, the technology fairy wing, here is where all the technology fairies stay while they're treated." Dr. Marson explained. He scanned through the doors until he stopped at a door with the number 34 by it. Timmy chuckled and winked at Tecna, she knew Timmy had counted the freckles on her ankles one day, and coincidentally, there were 34 of them. Dr. Marson gave Timmy an electronic key attached to a gold card. The card was engraved with their names and the schools they went to.
Tecna of Alfea
Timmy of Red Fountain
The Realm of Magix
The key could unlocked their room, room number 34, all the rooms had large French doors, and a look on the side.
"Keep this handy." Dr. Marson advised, "Now lets take a tour of you new room, shall we." Timmy slid the key past the sensor and it was accepted with a green light. Timmy and Dr. Marson opened the doors, and Tecna was left speechless by the appearance of her main room, but that was just the beginning of this luxury experience.
How do you think Tecna's main room looks like?
