Chapter Eighteen

As the weeks progressed, Tecna had no more emotion attacks, but Dr. Leyman insisted that they do some tests to see how her thinking was coming along. Timmy sat next to her on the coach with a clipboard, he was told to track her progress.

"Okay Tec, try this one." he wrote a simple equation on a piece of paper and handed it to her. She stared at it for a moment, then tried to solve it. Then, she handed it back to him. He calculated the correct answer, Tecna was right, but it took her much more effort than it usually would have.

"Two minutes and twenty-five seconds, your getting there, Tec." Timmy encouraged.

"No, I'm not." Tecna sighed, "It's hopeless."

"Tecna, just think about it, when you got here, you were jumpy and you weren't at all logical, now, you're only just starting to get back to normal." Timmy told her.

"You're right, let's try another one." Tecna smiled at him, and they continued solving equations.


Days later, Tecna tried helping Timmy with an invention he was working on in the lab. She stared at the wires and knobs and then looked up at Timmy.

"So, what is this supposed to be?" she asked.

"A new attachment to my laser." Timmy explained, "It's supposed to allow me to shoot opponents from fifty feet away."

"Impressive, so I think that wire should connect to that blue one." Tecna replied.

"I'll try, but I really don't know." Timmy told her, he couldn't tell her that he didn't think she knew what she was talking about, but maybe this was a sign. He connected the two wires and shot a blast at a piece of metal, it worked with no flaws whatsoever.

"Tecna, did you see what you helped me do, you did it!" Timmy twirled her around in his arms, but Tecna was still confused, "I have to tell Dr. Leyman, we could go home!" Timmy ran to the common room, and Tecna followed slowly.

"But Timmy, maybe it was just luck, maybe it's a coincidence." Tecna tried to stop him, she didn't want to be disappointed if this was just a fluke.

"Dr. Leyman, I think Tecna's starting to think logically again." Timmy cheered over the phone, and Tecna sighed in defeat.


Dr. Leyman went into the room to bring Tecna to his office, there, she sat on a bed, and Timmy sat on an extra chair. Tecna was still trying to convince them both that perhaps her guess was just that, a lucky guess.

"Tec, you could go home and see the girls in less time then you think." Timmy tried to argue.

"Don't you want your logic back?" Dr. Leyman asked her.

"Yes, but this could be a false alarm." Tecna replied.

"We'll just have to see. Now can you lay down on the bed for me?" Dr. Leyman asked Tecna, and she did as told. He took out a device just like Ophelia's portable MRI scanner. Then he shown the light over Tecna's forehead for a minute and turned the light off.

"Unbelievable." Dr. Leyman gasped in surprise.

"What is it?" Timmy asked.

"The medication has destroyed most sighs of the Emotia, all we need to do is keep up with the tests, and slowly take her off the medicine." Dr. Leyman told him.

"Do you hear that Tecna, you're almost cured." Timmy helped her to her feet and embraced her tightly. He was truly happy that she could think like herself again, she could once again be Alfea's A+ student.


All that week, Timmy continued to test Tecna's science and mathematical skills, and he kept time to each test and jotted down each time. Day after day, Tecna became faster and faster at the math equations, and she did increasingly hard ones to test herself, she could do them, they were correct, right down to the nth decimal point. The timing came from two minutes, to one, to thirty seconds. Each night, Dr. Leyman gave her less and less of the medication, and each day, she improved more and more. Soon, Tecna was helping Timmy with their inventions, just like they used to do together. Each time Tecna succeeded to accomplish something, she felt normal, like she was one step closer to getting her logic back.

There was just one more test she had to put through in order to determine if she was able to battle alongside her friends. Secretly Timmy wished that there was a way she couldn't fight with them, but he would never tell her that. Who would he protect during the missions if Tecna couldn't go?

"Okay, Tecna. I want you to transform, then fly though this obstacle course." Dr. Leyman instructed.

"Alright. Let's go Enchantix!" Tecna shouted as she transformed. Timmy watched her carefully as she began to fly thought the hovering course. Blasts of energy shot towards her as she formed a shield to defend herself, then she shot back her own attacks at the targets. After appearing out of the other end of the course, she landed, and transformed back to her normal clothes.

"I don't get it, what does this have to do with my thinking ability?" she asked.

"It has nothing to do with that, I just wanted to see if the Emotia has effected your reflexes and ability to fight. It seems like you're back to normal." Dr. Leyman smiled, and Tecna hugged Timmy with great happiness.


That was the second last chapter of this story, that means the next one is the last one.
