Christen is presented with a cure to her blueberry condition. This has to be too good to be true right? (This story is currently in early access on my Patreon and will come to DA on August 25th.)
Christen crossed her arms as Shelby continued her story. “I am serious. The doctors gave me this medicine, and it cured me.”
“Ya right.” Christen laughed as she rubbed at her blue arm, checking for any remaining blueberry juice and a possible berry release. “Those quacks couldn’t possibly find a cure so quickly.”
“I am serious.” Shelby twirled around. “I am cured, aren’t I?”
Christen sighed. “It will take more than a few hours to convince me, Shelby. But I am glad you are finally out of the hospital.” Christen put her hand on her friend’s shoulder. “I heard what kind of condition you were in.”
She nodded her head. “Ya. More blueberry than human for a while. There was a reason why those doctors were studying me in looking for a cure.” She sighed. “Well, at least I made a recovery, and the town can put all of this nonsense behind us, right?” She put her hands into her pockets. “I can talk to the people who prescribed me the medication.
Maybe they can send some of it your way Christen.”
Christen laughed. “I think I am fine.”
“Oh, come now. From what I have heard, you have been through quite a bit. I think you more than anyone can benefit from this treatment.”
“I knew sitting in your room and venting my troubles was a bad idea.”
Shelby laughed. “Hey now. If it wasn’t for you coming over on the weekends, I would have gone mad and possibly sprouted vines out of my blueberry body. But you helped keep the other people and me here sane. I don’t know how you put up with turning into a blueberry so often.”
Christen put her hands into her pockets. “I just did it. Nothing too much to write home about. But I am not the first one in line that would need this treatment.”
Shelby grabbed Christen’s arm. “Nonsense.”
“Hey!”
“Come on. I know where they are hoarding some prescriptions before sending them out to everyone.”
