[h2]Thea 'Teddy' Palmer - Near the Park, Two Hours Ago[/h2]
The world had changed overnight. One bad headache and funny sort of flu (though she really hadn't felt like laughing at the time) and suddenly that strange bright lights and too clear vision that came along with headaches wouldn't leave her alone. Although now it was the other way around. It was her eyes bringing about the headaches. And Teddy was thoroughly pissed off that she couldn't make it stop. Advil was touch and go, keeping the room dark only worked until she had to leave it, cool cloths were nice, but impractical for moving around with. School had been the worst. The light wouldn't stop flickering and she'd had to run out of math class on Monday to find a garbage can to vomit into when it made her queasy trying to ignore it.

The only good thing about that was she'd gotten out of taking the test, and stayed home Tuesday. Her parents figured it was some lingering illness from the weekend, or maybe a concussion from the accident on the bus, but they couldn't find any other symptoms, so she'd managed to avoid a trip to the hospital. If it kept up though, she might just ask if they could book her an appointment with the family doctor, because she didn't like it, and she didn't want it to stay. It had been fading a little though, the rough effects, and just that afternoon she'd discovered something pretty awesome. So, she thought she might wait one, maybe two more days in case the problems kept diminishing and her head finally wrapped itself around what had happened.

Sitting in the tree in her backyard after breakfast, Teddy was regaling Dana with her stories. The short version, since she didn't want to accidentally drop the phone and that meant texting and texting lots meant sore thumbs.

-No srsly. I no reflexes = fast but this wsn't reflx. I WATCHED falling and I caught it. Easypeasy. Coaster flip is a breeze! No challenge. Honest!-

-U just think it wasn't. For srs, Teddy, catching things is instinct. That's probs what it was.-

Of course, that's what Dana thought. It's what she'd been thinking most of the week too, until she realised it was so consistent. But she'd saved the best for last. Coaster flipping was nothing, she was already relatively good at it, as Dana was so keen on pointing out. Oh no, she had something far better.

-I saw a hummingbird. Ok. This HAVE to no isn't normal you. I could see its wings. They move in figure eight.-

-Youtube has an awful lot of slowed down hummingbirds, Teddy...-

Sighing, she eyed her phone in annoyance, then stuck out her tongue and took a selfie, sending that in place of words. Dana loled, then allowed that maybe she'd seen a hummingbird, but seeing its wings flapping was a bit of a stretch.

-U sure this isn't from that bump u got on the bus?-

-I no it isn't.-

She had had concussions before, much as she didn't want to remember them, they had never left her imagining she could see hummingbird and bumblebee wings while they were flying or following a softball someone hit right at her and know just where to put her hand to catch it. She might have been athletic, but she wasn't that good at softball.

-But tis all due to what happened on the bus dearie~-

A message said appearing on Teddy's phone seconds later from a new number.

-I know you wanna know why <3-

She stared at it for a long, hard minute, longer than a minute really, as the messager told her Dana had replied. But convincing Dana of her abilities, new and improved eyes or whatever, had suddenly become second to figuring out who had just texted her. And how the hell they'd known what she was writing to her friend.

-Not a dearie............... Is this a prank text?-

Were those even a thing? She'd heard of prank calls...

-Depends on if hummingbird wings are a prank :P-

Great, now random strangers were disbelieving her PRIVATE conversations. Scowling, Teddy checked the number against her other contacts, maybe someone had changed simcards or whatever it was. No one she knew. No one she could think of in her parents' list of contacts either. Brat was more likely, but he wasn't even here to enjoy the joke. And he wouldn't know what she was typing.

-Hey Dana, nvm that, can you call 212647914? Ask for Brat, I think hes messing w/me-

....................

-No one there. It says it's not a #. There's a robot voice and everything.-

-Ok, thnx, I'll kick his ass later, gtg Mum wants me.-

She didn't, her mum was actually very busy not wanting her while out shopping for shoes, but she didn't want to carry on a conversation that someone was stalking. Especially not somene who didn't exist. If that wasn't a number, who was texting her? Frowning, Teddy pocketed her phone and swung out of the tree, ignoring the slight scrape of the bark and dropping the last few feet to hurry to her laptop to try looking up the number there. She left the phone on her desk where she could see it though, half hoping, half dreading another text.

-Now Dearie, why must you get other people involved? What fun is that? Let's not get Dana involved, okay. She would just make this thing we have between us a bit too messy <3-

She grabbed it as soon as it blinked, the internet was probably useless anyway, she wouldn't know where to go after google.

-U do creepy stalker well. Plz stop.-

-Aww fine :( I thought u wanted answers Dearie but I guess not. Good luck figuring things out. U need it :P-

-Answers to what?-

-The weird things that happened to u. Seeing hummingbird wings and last week's flu is because of the crash. I'm the same boat as u too.-

-U no about that?-

-Mhmm. Phones not safe.-

Seconds later an address started to be typed out in the web browser and the results pulled up a map to a local Starbucks about a mile away from Teddy's house.

-Let's meet up, okay. Come visit me in 2 hours and I'll tell u everything.-

The flicking on the screen alerted her, and Teddy stared at the map when it came up, terrifyingly thrilled. It probably wasn't a good thing that someone had just taken control of her computer, but it was rather exciting. Like she'd suddenly become involved in a movie. She bit her lip as she read the text, knowing it wasn't exactly the best idea to meet strangers with no knowledge of their intentions. But it wasn't like she'd be able to tell truth from lies with texting. And she knew that Starbucks pretty well... She'd just have to remember to tell someone where she was going, right?

-Ok. 2 hours. How will I know u?-

-No worries Dearie, I know u <3 Take the table at the back, okay-

-Ok...-
