4th bloom

[Vinnie had been spending a lot of time on his own outside, watching the flower buds peek through the snow. Had he been actively avoiding certain people? Hell yes. But he was privately trying to console himself with the slow return of spring.

It was getting warmer. Greener. All his hopes for the future lay in the coming month.

All are welcome to bug him as he mopes in the melting snow.]

I wanna get back into training again. At least doing something. I'm sick of waiting around and feeling like this. I've been getting into fights anyway, so... I should've told you about those.

I know I've been pulling stupid shit lately. You can lay it on me for that.

...Sorry for being such an asshole.

There's a girl that likes me. I don't know what the fuck t'do.

So if you guys have any ideas on how I should stop fucking up my life, I'm all ears.

By the way, Smoe: those nose things work really well. Thanks.

O-oh, uh, it's fine. I wasn't sure for a second if that was me, or...

I mean, I used t'be able to do that. Sometimes I try to talk them into it, but it's not the same as before.

I've had colder. But I wouldn't say no t'spring coming faster. [And the Godlady would definitely know why.]

Your gift will come back, do not worry. [Of course she does.] Then the physical scars will be of the past. The mental ones however...

[Forget this mental scarring stuff. That first part. Was that basically an confirmation from God herself that... well, things would get better? A lump of hope caught in his throat. He could deal with a few nightmares if it meant he could stop this feeling of being helpless.]

Wait, you mean my leaves will grow back? For sure? When?

But truthfully, the answers that you seek cannot be given to you on a silver platter, I am sorry. But you know the saying? Help others, and they will help you?

[She looked over the patches that Bowser burned up. They have since turned to ash and ruined plants. Arceus raises her hand above them. A new plant emerges above ground (http://www.capetown.dj/nature/flora/protea/Plant_Protea%202005-12-24%2002.jpg) and takes their place]

Even when it might seem hopeless, there will always be a way. These are called Protea. They usually live near volcanic areas and can survive extremely high temperatures.
