Wishes do come true (S1 Ep.8-14)

Rose: Joan? – I followed her and when I entered the office she was achieving one of the gifts. Grabbed it and with a straight face, I’ve never seen before, asked me.

Joan: Who gave you this package?

Rose: Ah… I think that one was Elizabeth. The girl from the blue set? Do you remember?

Joan: The girl…

Rose: Why do you ask?

Joan: Has a funny smell.

Rose: Let me see – She passed me the present and went towards the entrance of the office. Looked furious. Was tense as if she were about to confront someone. Peeked out and closed the doors. – I don't smell anything!

Joan: Can you open it, please?

I dropped my head, directing my vision for the present and the last thing I felt was a touch on the head.

When I woke up, I was sitting on the couch and Joan was sitting in one of its arms, with a white wet cloth, in her hands.

Rose: What happened, Joan? – I was dizzy, with the vision a bit blurred.

Joan: You were not feeling well, so I brought you here and I went to the kitchen got you a wet cloth, when I returned you had fallen asleep. – Her look was so intense, at every word that she said I saw the images from her description. All Joan told me I believed to be true.

Rose: Yes. I was dizzy for a moment...

Joan: You're not feeding well, again. Only liquids do not support a body.

Rose: No, I… - I was confused, I tried to put me back on my feet, but I was still dizzy - I ate well, just now I was eating pizza. Return to the party, I'm fine, I'm just going to drink a glass of water and I’ll join you after.

Joan: Are you sure you're okay?

Rose: Yes! I'm just going to drink a glass of water and eat something.

Joan: I will keep you company.

Rose: You don't have to!

Joan: Come on, let's go. – Said extending her arm to support me and together we went to the kitchen. I was with this strange sensation, seemed to consume me from the inside. To see Charlie put a smile and tried to dissemble it.

Charlie: Oh, here you are! Rose let's sing happy birthday?

Rose: Yes. I'm just going to the kitchen first.

Charlie: Okay! I'm going to take care of the soundtrack, Joan, can you handle the cake?

Joan: Of course, Charlie.

Charlie: In five minutes both of you out there!

Well, Charlie had prepared a great surprise! And everything was with timing. When I went thru the kitchen door, the decorative lights turned off and over me a spotlight. Suddenly, small lights, like fireflies, stand out in the dark, along with the echo of the song of happy birthday. From the door next to me, came out Joan with the birthday cake in her hands and the spotlight on me passed to her. And that's where the magic began.

Every step that I gave the decorative lights lit indicating the way towards the garden kiosk. There was Charlie and behind me followed Joan, already without the light of the spotlight. Going up the stairs of the kiosk, all lit up and from all other lights reignited.

To every step that I gave the decorative lights lit indicating the way towards the garden kiosk. At it was Charlie and behind me was Joan following, already without the spotlight. Going up the stairs of the kiosk, it all lit up and from it all other lights reignited.

I loved my party, even with the minor setback of my indisposition. A lot of people came from school. I'm sure it had the girls hand. When they join forces, are unstoppable, capable of performing any task that its present. And the surprise, beautiful! The effort I made to hold my tears was great but in vain.

The only thing that could make this wonderful day, bigger than special, was to see his face, feel his presence close to me and hear his voice... I fell asleep wrapped in my mind about Seth. And my dream transported me to my room, and here he was seated along the edge of my bed. While he stroked my hair, uttered something that I didn't understand, leaned over and kissed my forehead.

Seth: Happy birthday, my sweet Anastacia. - With the speed of opening my eyes, he disappeared.

Rose: Ah… - I woke up startling, I could swear that in my dream I felt his touch, I could swear the kiss were real.
