Rachel stopped halfway through opening the door. 'Are you saying you're the only one in this room who receives different treatment? You're looking at a psychic. A girl with powers. A girl who can read minds, teleport, talk without speaking, and sometimes see the future. I grew up around scientists who only cared about the results of their little test. Me. I'm so different I'm like a torch in the darkness compared to some of us. You may die if your pokemon dies, but I've got more on my plate than that. I've also saved the islands once, although I share that priviledge. How dare you say I'm not different. You're the most normal person in here, in my opinion, seeing as this girl has a magic sword, and doesn't know anything about this world.' Here she gestured to Ki vaguely, her eyes flaming in uncontrolled rage. 'You want different? You've seen it. Now stop thinking of yourself as special, because you're not.'

Zelda let a small smile appear on her face. Expecting an outrage like this but slightly annoyed that she had only refered to Epona as a pokemon and not as an equal. "At least i can control my pokemon and i understand them" she muttered under her breath, but loud enough so that Ki could hear.

While the two girls were arguing, Ki sat silently on the floor, wondering what on earth was going on...She hadn't really been following the situation [i.e. I can't be bothered to go back and check ] but from what she had picked out, Rachel had psychic powers and Zelda had a prophecy to fulfil... Just like you, her inner voice piped up. Ki immediately suppressed it - not just because Rachel would hear it, but also because she didn't want to face it... not yet, anyway. It will pass, in time. That's what prophecies are, you kno- "Argh!" she suddenly shouted, just as Zelda finished whispering to her. Intensely aware of the stares she was receiving, she decided to stare back, hoping with all her heart that Rachel hadn't witnessed her internal struggle - or worse still, decided to broadcast it. "Um...sorry...I was just getting annoyed at you two shouting all the time!" she burst out, unleashing a fresh wave of stares. "It is just that we should be working together, now that we have found out about each other, and we should help each other...I suppose," she finished rather lamely, not daring to meet anyone's eyes.

Rachel looked at her, her expression very vague so nothing was given away. The thoughts were barely concealed, how could she have not heard them? Anyone within a mile who was even partly psychic would have heard that. She also knew that she didn't want them to be revealed, so she didn't say anything about them. 'Right. Well, I agree. It's just that I didn't expect such an offensive comment from someone so "Different".' She sat down again, still looking at Ki curiously. She hoped that was enough to show she'd heard.

...Damnations, thought Ki, picking up on Rachel's not-so-subtle hint. "Er...anyway..." she stuttered, trying to make conversation in a world she knew so little about. "...Zelda, how are you feeling?" she asked, still not looking anywhere near Rachel.

Zelda made a sarcastic smile at Rachel and turned to Ki. "A lot better thank you." and added "not that some of you care" in a mumble. She glanced at Rachel, scowled and stared out the window in a huff.

Ki rolled her eyes. True, she'd been pretty mad at Rachel herself earlier; but in any world, Ki reasoned, you needed friends. Powerful friends, if you wanted to get anywhere soon. Nice friends were a bonus. No, another voice in her head said, friends are on principle nice. Follow your heart. Take each day as it comes. Ki sighed, then patted Zelda on the shouder. "I hope you feel, um, even more better than you are feeling!" She bit her lip, not very good with sympathy or peace-making. "I am going to go outside," she said finally. "Will the doctors allow you to join me? Fresh air always makes me feel better." As she waited for Rosie's answer, she sent a message to Rachel: Please do not tell anyone. It would be...very bad. I think.

"Do you think they're going to argue with me?" Zelda answered with a sly smile. Slowly she managed to slide out of bed and with Ki's help stand up and walk slowly outside. She still ached all over but when Epona joined them outside her warmth made Zelda feel better and mixed with the fresh air and painkillers the aches slowly faided away. "So what next? You're not planning to hang around with a sicky are you?" Zelda asked Ki with a faint smile.

"A...sicky?" Ki hesitated. "I will stay with you," she said finally. "And we can travel again when you are well rested." She smiled at Zelda, then let her pokemon out to enjoy the sun. "What shall I call my Wurmple?" she asked, watching it play with Splash.

"Bert?" Zelda said jokingly "no.... ummm..... how about...." Zelda looked at the Wurmple "Bob? I don't know. I'm useless with names."

Ki sighed. "We'll call you Bob then," she said to her Wurmple, who looked slightly affronted then went back to pushing Splash over.

"It was only a suggestion. No need to take it seriously. Call him what you like." Zelda said, flattening out Epona's pure hair and attempting to climb on her back. She was nothing if shew couldn't ride.

"Well, I would like to call him Bob," Ki answered calmly, as the Wurmple managed to bounce off Splash's head into the hospital flowerbeds. She looked up at Zelda and got to her feet, offering to help Zelda up.

"No thanks" Zelda said "I've got to do it myself sometime" and slowlyshe managed to heave herself onto Epona's back who prompty went trotting around the garden. "Why don't we escape? I'm fine now.... so lets go!" Zelda jumped off Epona's back, a bit to fast and limped back into the hospital to lie down, but hopefully not meet Rachel again.

Rachel had already left the ward. She knew neither of the girls wanted to face her again, and she didn't want any more enemies than she already had. Obviously none of them were normal, and each of them had something to fulfill - be it prophecies or huge expectations. Rachel had always had the weight of expectation on her shoulders, all her life expected to do great things by the scientists and to battle well when she went to school for the first time. She felt she couldn't let any of them down, but they frustrated her so - even if she was a good trainer, and a well trained psychic.

A week passed and Zelda was back on her feet again, galloping through the countryside and enjoying life. Around the corner new adventures lurked and now her new friend, Ki, who had kept by her all the time she was hurt, and her were ready to tackle them with all they had.
Zelda's last check at the hospital had come and gone, standing outside the hospital, Epona on one side and Ki on the other. "Lets go to Darnov Town" she said darkly and soon they were on Route 2 ready for anything it threw at them.
OOC: wow that's cheesy!
