I'm...

[She just takes a shaky breath. Her eyes are wide, brimming with tears, a lost and almost hurt expression on her face. She just stares at the communicator for a good long moment.]

This... is Discedo... right?

Anyone, just... tell me...

[She just sinks down, shoving the communicator away.]

My head... hurts...

Anemone?

[pilot_princess]

[Anemone's curled up on her rug in the living room. She just stares over at Cuddy like she's about to cry.]

Is this real...?

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

[hand on her shoulder]

It's real.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

[The touch means everything. Anemone nods and wiggles just a bit closer, closing her eyes.]

And you're... really here... and this place is falling apart...?

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

[big hug now]

I promise I'm really here.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

[Clinging tiem.]

I was so confused! It was just so different and... there was cake--actual bakeries, really nice ones with lots of stuff--and people... and cars... so many people...

[rubbing her back]

I know. I know.

I never roamed around a big city like that by myself before... it was... so...

Marco said I was dreaming...

And I woke up here... and my head hurt... It didn't feel like a dream...

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

It's probably best if you think of it as a dream.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

But it wasn't a dream!

[She sits up and pushes herself away, looking a little angry for a moment.]

I know it wasn't! Everything was real, I know it wasn't dreaming. Too many people, and a big city, and... so much cake...

[But the burst of excitement seems to have agitated her headache, and she grabs hold of her head, curling in on herself.]

My head... it hurts...

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to find you something to take for it, or would you rather just rest here with me?

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

I don't want to rest! I want it to go away!

[AKA Drugs plz. She's getting crankier by the minute.]

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll be right back.

[disentangles herself to head into the kitchen to find something]

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

[She'll just curl up in a little ball and wait.]

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

[coming back with the meds and a glass of water!]

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

[Whine whine whiiiine!]

Cuddyyyyy, it hurts!

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

Shhhh. This'll help.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

It won't be strong enough... It won't work!

[But she'll take them anyway.]

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

You don't know that. Just give it a try.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

But only the really strong ones work...

[She all but chugs the water and then lays down, holding onto the cup.]

What did you give me?

commentlog!!

[asitcouldbe.livejournal.com]

Advil. It's all we have.

commentlog!!

[pilot_princess]

Advil...

[She looks away, almost displeased, but somewhat calculating.]

I need... just three more of those, and it'll kick in.
