Cassie shook her head forcefully and wiped tears away form Jake's face. "This is not your fault! It is in your nature to not swim! So I would never expect you to go against that nature and do something that is irregular to you!" Cassie pulled away from Jake and looked him deep in the eyes. "Dont blaim yourself!" she said and kissed him gently, then threw herself back into their hug once more.

Arely sighed and then began to speak over their sobs, "Please, children, cease your crying, it never solves a thing to cry. Now if you would please accompany me to Nurse Kathrin's office so she can confirm you are both well, you can continue to your rooms and change; and afterwards, if you have not already, head into the dining hall for dinner." she smiled at them, hoping that her message did not fall on deaf (and sobbing) ears.

Tatum headed out into the courtyard after her meal was finished, being indoors was making Phineas a bit restless and she needed some fresh air as well. She saw a neko girl she remembered as 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary' because it was one of her favorite children's rhymes, and walked to stand next to her. Seeing the commotion that was going on around the fountain she asked Mary, "What's going on here?"

"Your right. Your completely right!" Cassie chocked as she tried to stop crying. Arely really was right about crying not making anything better, and plus, they both needed to be checked out for water damage and whatnot. "We need to see the nurse, Jake?" she looked at him expectantly, holding his hand tightly. Following Arely, they headed of to the nurse's room; Arely called her Kathrin. When they arrived, Cassie nocked on the door. It was obvious what had happened to them both, as water was still poaring off her clothes and hair, and even her wings were still all wet and messy looking. There was nothing prettier than the sight of wet feathers, Cassie had once though... But now that it was her feathers that were wet, she seemed to think differently.

When Kathrin heard someone knocking on the door she quickly stood up and opened it only to see two kids soaking wet and one of the teachers "Oh dear! what happened to you two? Please....come in" she said, walking back inside and grabbing two towels from inside one of the closets and said "Here, dry yourself off and then you can tell me what happened to you." she knew the drowned but she wanted to know the whole story.

Candy started to walk down the halls her new hello kitty bag and a blank look on her face she had no idea what was going to happen here if this place would cure her of her speaking problem or lack of or if she would find happiness she just didnt know. She looked around every corner and found her way to the office where she sat down and waited to speak with the headmaster. She looked at the kids most of them looked like they were squirming in their seats they were probably in trouble or at least this man or woman scared the crap out of them 'hmmm i wonder what this person is like.' She thought to herself but the kid next to her must have heard her thoughts because he looked at her and smirked like he knew something she didnt 'what a cocky boy he gives me the urge to hit something.'

Cassie was pleased that Kathrin seemed so friendly, she couldnt take another version of their new headmaster. Although she knew he was probably a really nice person, and that his intentions were only good, she got the impression that children annoyed him slightly, especialy male children.

"I'm Cassie, and this is Jake" Cassie said and pointed to Jake. "Before, there was a man and he vomited blood everywhere. I cant stand blood and I almost fainted. Jake carried me away from the blood scene and layed me on the ground. He collected some water for me to drink and I thought I felt better. He said we should sit near the fountain because it calmed me down to be near it and hear the rushing water" Cassie paused and wiped her face dry with the fluffy towel that Kathrin had given her, then she continued. "As soon as we got there, I sat down and then everything went black. I dont remember anything after that, but I woke up with Arely. I guessed that I fainted, fell backward into the water and Jake tried to save me, but Jake cant swim, as he is Neko and is afraid of water, so the new headmaster saved us both. Arely resussitated me and thats all I know about it" when Cassie had finished she took a long breath. Wrapping the towel around herself, Cassie felt dryer, but she was still freezing cold, so cold infact that her skin was turning blue and she could not stop shivering. She guessed that since it was actually quite a warm day, that she was so cold because of shock and also the fact that she was wearing wet clothes. "Arely sent me and Jake here to be examined and to make sure that there is no real damage done to us" she then added and smiled at the sweet nurse who looked so worried.

Kathrin reached into her bag near her desk and grabbed some of her clothes "Here, i can tell your cold from being in wet clothes so try on mine. They maybe a little big but you dont have to wear them all day...Oh and the bathroom is right there" she said handing her the clothes and pointing toward the bathroom before she looked threw the closet trying to find some clothes Jake could wear. "Um...I dont really have any clothes for you, Jake. If your cold i could give you a blanket and an extra towel..does that sound good?" she asked

Cassie smiled and took the clothes that Kathrin had given her into the bathroom to change. When she pulled off her dress and underwear, she realised one terrible thing... Her wings would not fit into Kathrin's clothes. She might have to tear them.

"Kathrin?" she said, just loud enough for her to hear.

When Kathrin heard Cassie call her name and walked over to the bathroom door "Is something wrong?" she asked, she forgot all about Cassie's wings so she just thought the clothes were too big on her or something. She didnt want to open the door because she had no idea if Cassie was dressed yet.

"I'm sorry to be such a pain Kathrin, but my wings wont fit into your clothes. I tried, but they just wont go!" she felt like crying and cursing at her wings. All Katherin wanted to do was to help, and her stupid wings were making it impossible... Plus, she was even more freezing now without her clothes on.

Kathrin smiled and walked into a room right next to the bathroom "Its okay..i think i have some clothes that you'll be able to fit in....without ripping it" she said loud enough so Cassie would be able to hear her. The room she was in had a some clothes, but almost all of them were for little kids , she was going to have to go shopping or something to get some more clothes.

She searched threw a pile of clothes and found a blue dress that would fit Cassie perfectly, she just hoped Cassie would like it, she didnt want her walking around in something she didnt like. As she walked to the bathroom door she said"Sorry...but the only thing that i have that will fit you is a dress...i hope thats not a problem" She turned her head on opened the door just enough so Cassie would be able to grab the dress

((XD Wow. I missed alot.))

Mary stood there astonished for a moment.. running over to the fountain to see about Gary. "Wow... Master.. that was amazing.."

Jake started to shiver "anything would be good" he said and was also shivering from his experance with the water, the one thing he hated and he just threw himself into it, but he had too, he wouldn't let Cassie get hurt "why?... why... can't... neko swim?"

Leon Peering over Mary's shoulder while tiptoeing, suddenly announced his arrival "Well, it was something eh?" After switching hands to hold his suitcase, he gently patted Marys head with his gloved hand, and gave her a small smile, afterward his eyes slowly turned to Gary, "Seems you aged a bit." he chuckled slightly before remembering the fly pans incident. "By the way, someone said Nurse?"

She turned and gasped. it was her old friend from her past school! She squeaked before full on pouncing him. "Leon!! Oh how good it is to see you!" She nuzzled him some, purring. "When did you get here?"

Cassie smiled even though Kathrin couldnt see her. "Thank you Kathrin, its beautiful. I love dresses!" she chimed and took the dress from Kathrin. The reason that the dress would fit her was its style, and it was far more revealing than Cassie had ever braved before; strapless and long, but still... Cassie had never worn anything like that before. 'First time for everything!' she smiled and pulled on the beautiful dress.

When Cassie was dressed and had slipped on her shoes she walked out. Feeling like a princess, she smiled sweetly at Jake and then said "Thank you so much Kathrin. I love this dress! I'll get it back to you as soon as I get it washed!" she sat down, still freezing cold and with blue lips, but she decided that it was the fact that her wings were still cold.



[[Just because I'm rubbish at description... Heres the dress that I had in mind :P
The front!
And the back! ]]

Jake shivered as he looked at her "you look even better, even the gods would love you" he said as he slowly stumbled over to her still in his wet clothes which were now scaring him, but he didn't show it "say... i think we should go on a date... somewhere far away from any water, i wouldn't want you falling in again" he joked and chuckled

"I didnt fall in! I fainted!" Cassie giggled and then smiled at him. "I think we should too, and I also think you need to get out of those wet clothes!" Cassie looked down at his clothes and she could tell that the water would be bothering him a little, but even worse, he was getting more and more shivery by the moment. Although, his lips werent quite as blue and her own...

Jake chuckled "no, no, no, we should finish the date first... im... f... fine" he stutered and then he looked down but then quickly looked up, his head slowly started to spin and he began to sway a bit "why do i feel light headed?"

Cassie took hold of Jake by the shoulder's and lead him to a chair, as she saw the man from before lying on the bed.

"Sit Jake, you almost died, you were closer to death than I was I think! You need to rest, plus, the fact that your scared of water probably isnt helping considering your covered in it!" she she sat him down and smiled down at him. "I'll go and get some food, and you stay here and relax for a while. Kathrin will look after you!" she smiled at Kathrin then and kissed Jake's forhead before leaving the room and heading toward the dining hall. She could see heads turning and staring at her new dress, and she felt her cheeks turning bright red, but Cassie just brushed it off and carried on walking.

Jake nodded and he tried to stay calm, he closed his eyes and thought of the water as milk, but it just kept popping into his mind "ahhhh!" he yelled as he saw the image of the water all around him and him sinking, he sat in the chair wide eyed and he was gripping the sides with his life

Cassie wandered around the dining hall and found some food that Jake may like, then she picked up a large carton of milk and took the food and drink back to sweet Jake. When she enetered the nurse's office, she was instantly shocked by how scared Jake looked. "Jake? Sweetie? Are you okay?" she asked as she placed the dinner down on a table near the chair that Jake was clinging onto.

Jake was shaking violently and his eyes were full of fear "the water... its taunting my mind... lurking... waiting for me to sleep... to return" he stutered and refused to move a muscle "its out to get me... to suck me back to the depths"

"Jake, darling, the water is not out to get you! The water is nothing more than a mass of wet stuff! It wont get you, I promise!" Cassie soothed, aware of how fragile Jake now was. It wasnt his fault, but he needed to understadn that the water really was not going to get him.

Jake looked at her with kid like eyes "are you sure?... it keeps over taking my mind" he said and started to cry "it will be another month until it leaves me be... it happend last time... the sight of under water"
