"Yes Nurse Gaster" >Noelle had her leg elevated with a cold compress covering a rather nasty looking bruise mark on her leg "But what about Track? We have the big meet next week" >"???????????? ????????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ¦????? ???????? ?? ???????? ??¦? ?????????? ????¦?????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????????? ??¦? ????????????????¦??? ?????????? ??¦??? ????????????????" "Yes nurse Gaster..." >Noelle was looking down, tears in her eyes from both the pain, and the fact that she'll have to sit out the big track meet she and the others were training for all season >"????????? ?? ??¦????? ???????? ???????????? ???? ??????????? ??¦??? ???????? ???????????? ???? ??????????????????????????? ?????? ????????????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ?????? ????????" ======================================== >"???? ?????? ???????? ???????????? ??????? ?? ???????? ?????? ???? ??????????????? ???? ?????????? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ????????¦? ?????? ?? ???????????? ¦????????? ??????¦?????" >With that, the skeletal nurse went out to see to Berdly, and the aftermath of his actions. >Susie came in with the school's old wheelchair to help get Noelle to Mrs. Dreemurr van out front of the school >"Uh... I'm sorry this happened" the dino gal said, rubbing the back of her head, ruffling her already messy hair "If Berd-brain didn't antagonize me, and I didn't lose my temper, none of this would have happened..." "Oh, it's alright, it's no one's fault" >Noelle was trying her best to keep a stiff upper lip around the subject of her crush, wiping some of the tears away. >It was a rather quiet trip to the minivan, Susie being quiet out of guilt, Noelle in hopes to stop herself from rambling on about how she's going to miss the big track meet, and was told she'd be laid up for three months ======================================== >Toriel tried her best not to make things worse for Noelle, swirving around a little to avoid the bumps that littered the road on the way to the Holiday manor >"Don't worry Noelle, Asriel strained his hamstring when he was on the Track team his first year" >Noelle could only offer back a half hearted smile, she knew her friend's mother meant well, but hearing about someone else's injury didn't help take her mind off her disappointment and pain >"You'll be up and running again in no time" "Sure Mrs.Dreemurr, it's just... I trained so hard for the big meet next week, and one little tumble was all it took to sideline me" >Toriel's felt sympathy pangs in her heart, as she sees the young reindeer start to tear up >The rest of the ride was quiet, and Noelle spent the evening laid up in bed trying to keep her leg as still as possible ======================================== >A lone human heard a moan of frustration emanating from the door before them. >Kris was there to help out his longtime friend Noelle, not just because it gave him an excuse to skip class, that'd be silly, and immoral. >And Kris was clearly the most innocent of children. >Giving a sigh, he shuffles the tray he was holding so he could hold it with one hand and knocked on the door "Come in..." >The normally cheerful doe's voice was rather dour >Opening the door, Kris came in and placed the tray on Noelle's lap, putting on a kind smile to help brighten her mood. ============ First option time! Did Kris B) Be the lazy human he is, and brought in some greasy fast food, a surefire cure for the blues? =========================================== >It wasn't the prettiest meal, but it was warm, and it looked filling. >Maybe a little too filling, four waffles with a pad of butter and a lot of syrup on them, a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal with some chopped up strawberries, a tall glass of OJ, two fried eggs, a couple slices of bacon, and some toast "T... That's a lot, and it looks good, thanks Kris" >Noelle had some reservations about such a large meal while restrained to her bed, but one look at Kris's face, and she couldn't betray that mostly innocent smile. >After seeing her take her first bite, Kris gave her a nod, before heading downstairs to clean up the mess he had made while making that big breakfast. >Leaving Noelle with the meal, which she slowly worked her way through, at the end of it she felt rather bloated, having only had some toast and a bit of fruit for breakfast normally. >With that out of the way, she was forced to face the biggest threat in front of her. >Boredom >It only took her two hours to grow tired of browsing around on her meager social media feed >She wasn't a major fan of anime like her teacher, so the free trial account she had in her e-mail held little appeal. >Nothing on MonTube looked good either >The TV was all the way downstairs, and she felt guilty about getting Kris to help her move. >So, with these distraction options offering very little appeal, she decides just to click through some random links that kept popping up =========== Which of the links shall she pick? A) Some weird story site, where people share stuff they wrote, there were weird tags on these stories like WG, TF, and others C) A cooking site, might as well learn something useful while laid up =========================================== "Might as well, not like there's anything else to do..." >Noelle sighed, plugging in her earbuds, deciding to put on a self-help book about confidence, the first one she saw. >It started off with this odd rolling sound that gave her a soft fuzzy feel in the back of her mind. >Before she knew it, she was drifting off, not even bothering to fight it, her mind was taken away to slumber. >".......There is no need to fret...." >A soft, whispery voice came from her earbuds, slowly droning in her slumbering ears >"Don't feel bad about getting seconds, or having desert, so what if you aren't a size zero?" >"Unlike the others, you're proud, and willfully going for extra, you deserve it. The ones that chastise you are in the wrong, they want you to ignore all those tasty treats" >This sort of talk went on for a while, as Noelle slept off her breakfast ======== A) Kris comes in with lunch, waking her from her self help sleep B) Kris is AWOL, and the track was set for repeat ============================================ >It was several hours before Kris came back up to Noelle's room with some lunch, a more simple sandwich, and a Cinnamon-butterscotch pie his mother dropped off around noon. >Normally Kris'd chow down on the entire thing, but the funk Noelle's been in, he decided, no, this was Noelle's pie. >Hearing soft snoring beyond the door, he carefully opened the door, seeing that she had something playing on her phone while dozing >After putting down the tray, collecting the dishes from breakfast to take back down, he noticed the title of the thing she was listening to, as the title scrolls on the screen >'Being confident for Big Girls - learning to love that there is more of you to love' >A bit of a mouthful, he figured Noelle just picked it at random to try and help with her indecisiveness and her shyness around Susie. >Rolling his eyes, he pressed the pause button before waking the doe up "Zznrk... Huh, wha? Oh, hey Kris" >rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she noticed the tray, and looked over at her clock, noticing that it was a little bit past 1 "Oh, guess it's about time for lunch isn't it?" >She gives a soft giggle, only to have her stomach grumble in agreement "Heh... Guess laying in bed all morning is hungrier work than we thought it'd be, isn't it?" >Giving a self-conscious chuckle, Kris just sighed shaking his head, before handing over a note he took earlier "Oh, Mom's actually going to be home tonight?" >Noelle couldn't believe it, this is quite the rare occurrence, normally her mother came home so late at night that she was fast asleep by then >It was hard having such a workaholic for a mother sometimes. >Kris just gave a shrug before waving goodbye, since Noelle's mother would be back to take care of her daughter, he now had the afternoon free "Guess I'll see you tomorrow Kris" ================================================
