"It has to do with what I did, I am willing to bet. I Already injured him back in a blind rage. Oh and I sent a lovely bill to his father's hospital." Gabriel laughs out loud. 

"Why am I just hearing about this now?" Edna looks at the children and is shocked at what she just heard.

"Because when we came back Amelia rested and I was with her the entire time. Sachi and Ami just wait until you see him on Monday. Amelia, since your friends are here I will go and grab those paintings and I will gift them to your friends." Gabriel smiled and patted her lag then got up leaving the room. 

"Paintings? Just what is he talking about?" Sachi looks confused and concerned. 

Ami starts to laugh before she stretches. "Since Gabriel has already paid him back I will let it go until I see him on Monday. I do seem to remember that he has a fear of snakes. I will capture one and slide it into his bag before lunch time."

Amelia gasps and looks at Ami in shock but her eyes are smiling, "you are so bad! Then she starts to giggle. 

Sachi rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Just what am I going to do with you two? It is nice to hear you excited about something." Sachi sits down and takes Amelia's hand. "I brought the last bit of homework for you. If you are well enough we can go over things tomorrow in the morning and afternoon." 

Ami gives a look of disgust. "Do we really have to? I thought that we were here to visit? Not to work on homework." She was on Amelia's other side now.

Miyuki placed the bedding on either side of Amelia. "Sorry for the delay. As you can see I let your guests in before I came back." 

"We will see how I feel in the morning." Amelia closes her eyes and stops responding once again. 

"Do you think that you could bring some fresh tea for Amelia's guests and myself. I would like to chat with them if you do not mind Miyuki?" Gabriel comes back to the room then goes to the table. He places the paintings to the side. He begins to stack up the empty trays and moves them to the side. 

"We will leave you and the guests now. Suzuka and Mayumi get up. They leave the room and Mayumi is skipping away.

Sara if you can help with the dishes and then you are free to assist Mayumi and Suzuka." Edna looks at the girl next to her then gets up and bows to the room. "If you need anything please let Miyuki or Gabriel know. I will retire for the evening. Goodnight." 

"Goodnight Mother. Have a wonderful sleep and I will talk to you again in the morning." Gabriel bowed to Edna as she left the room.

Sachi and Ami got up and went to the table curious on what Gabriel was going to show them. Miyuki got up and picked up the trays and then left followed by Sara as she carried the empty teapot away. 

"No way!" Ami lifts it up and stares at it happily. "You really painted these? When did you even find the time?" 

Sachi traces her hand over the painting and in her eyes the painting was a deep love. As she held onto Amelia's hand. "Thank you, Gabriel. I will truly treasure this." 

Gabriel smiled at both of them and gave Sachi a knowing nod. "Before I even knew Amelia's name I painted her picture. I ran into your guys enough times that I was able to capture the moments. Ami yours is when you won something in the sports festival and Sachi's is from when you guys came out of the nurse's room at the end of the day." 

Sachi nodded and remembered that day fondly. "Yes, I know what that is all about. Ami and I went to pick up Amelia after classes ended. We decided that we were going to Amelia's place for a sleepover." 

"I remember that day. We were so happy but at the same time Amelia had an attack a day or two ago so we didn't want her walking home on her own just in case she blacked out. It was a good thing too because I caught Amelia and carried into the house. Poor Irene she was so sad when she saw me carrying Amelia." Ami shook her head. 

"Irene was at least able to stay calm while we brought Amelia into the house and thanked us for taking good care of her. Irene suffered so much and has such a big heart." Sachi was smiling sadly. 

"Thank you for sharing this with me. I do appreciate it. Ami if you are looking for snakes there is a nest in the back yard and I will get Miyuki to show you where it is. If you all are okay to go for a walk in the afternoon tomorrow then I will show you a beautiful area and Amelia, I am sure that she would love to go there again." Gabriel looks over at the bed and smiles. 

"I am okay with this plan." Ami rubs her hands together smiling. 

"You want me to take Ami to the snake nest? I can and will do that. Especially if it is to do something against the one that hurt Amelia." Miyuki comes into the room with the tea and serves it up. She added some yokan down with the tea. "This is something that I was asked to bring out since you are our guests." 

"I can see that we are going to get along just fine. Miyuki you should come and join us. You are welcome to come and sit with us!" Ami smiles and her mouth waters at the yokan. 

Sachi shakes her head and then picks up the teapot and pours a cup of tea for Miyuki. "I may not agree with the prank but I will agree with you coming and sitting with us. Gabriel, if you think that Amelia will want to go there then I do not see why not. It will be fun to do an activity together. Maybe we could make it a picnic?" 

"That is lovely. Miyuki could I trouble you to request that from Kuma for us. It will be good for Amelia to enjoy the fresh air once again." Gabriel picks up his tea and takes a sip and sets his yokan aside. "Please enjoy the yokan." 

Ami picked up the stick and dug into her yokan. "This is soooo tasty. Whomever made this is a genesis." 

Amelia opened her eyes and looked at everyone at the table and smiled. Her eyes connected with Gabriel and she nodded before mouthing, 'Can I join you guys?'

Gabriel gets up from the table and walks over to Amelia and lifts her up gently. "If you are feeling up to it then you can join us." He kisses the top of her head as they walk towards the table.

"It is unusual for the blackouts to happen so late. Are you sure that you are feeling up to coming and sitting with all of us?" Sachi took a small bit of the yokan after saying what she did. 

Once Amelia was positioned on the cushion and leaning against Gabriel, she looked up at her friends. "I would like to chat for a little bit. I know that it is not normal but there is nothing saying that I do not want to spend time with my loved ones." 

"There is something we haven't told you two. Amelia has been getting a special fruit from the shine. We do not know exactly what it will do but if the normal things are changing then maybe the fruit is going to help her heal or take away some of the side effects." Gabriel cuts into the yokan and feeds it to Amelia. 

"WHHHHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!" Ami jumps up and bashes her knee on the table. She hops around muttering for a moment then finally looks at the two. "If that is so then we will be able to have more fun." She gives a look of mischief. 

Sachi had gotten up and picked up a slipper and hit Ami on the head. "Calm down , you will not be getting into any trouble on my watch." Her eye narrow as she watches Ami placed her hands on her head and curls in a ball.

At first Amelia was giggling but that soon turned into laughter. "Please stop." She leans into Gabriel who has a smile on his face.
