It had been a two weeks since it bloomed…
Sage watched completly still as the human was adding soil and some plant feed into a pot. They patted it down some with the divot in the middle.
Her fingers held slightly tighter to the root thick dirt of her little dicot she’d watched so closely. Eyes following thier hands reaching for it. A slow drift back away out of reach and the human tried a smile.
“It’s okay, you’ve done good but you should really plant it in a pot now. It’s getting too big for just some dirt in your hand,” they tried to speak softly as instructed to behave with the only of the mewtwo that’s considered dangerous, “It’s the pot you picked out remember? Pretty with your favorite colors?”
Sage’s tail flicked as she blinked and pulled the plant up to her chest protectively. Her fingers trembled just a bit. A small but of dirt slipping through them making the point she didn’t want to accept…
After a long quiet moment the mewtwo extended her arms to offer it over.
They smiled to her and took it very carefully in their garden gloved hands, trying to keep from shaking as they set the plant into the soil and cover the roots, “See? That wasn’t so bad?” They picked up the flower pot to offer that to the unpredictable creature.
Sage nabbed it from them hugging the flower pot and staring them down.
“Yeah I’ll be going,” they assured her and got up to get away from the clone living space with a breath of relief.
She waited until they were out of sight to look down at the now potted plant, “…change… so bad but… have to…”
The clock in the hall changed its glowing numbers she didn’t understand but at the beeps she knew it’d been nearly two hours. Her tail thumped and she stared at the plant. She liked watching the tiniest movements and small growing of its stem and leaves at a speed most couldn’t notice but she also was finding tracing the cute little swirls on the pattern on the pot calming.
She finally liked the change. It was good actually.
“One should see this.” She popped up and nabbed the pot from the floor to hug it as she floated for the room at the end of the hall. Eyes sparkling in her growing excitement.
The door slid open as she rushed in.
“One?” Sage didn’t understand, the bars on his screens weren’t right and he was more slumped. But the human writing it down didn’t do anything. The details too minute for them.
She floated up, “One? One??” He wasn’t hearing her. It was obvious to her, that the pull to her wasn’t grabbing anything, “ONE??? ONE! ONE WAKE UP!” Her psychic took her plant as she started to hit the glass trying to get his attention, “One!!!”
Someone alerted the others. Sam and Gemini the first there to pull her away from the glass before she could possibly break it. 9 arriving with Donor trying to urge the mew to calm down the mewtwo as she started a meltdown…
Sage violently threw Gemini off which sent Sam with her from their connected tail.
A clipboard and a coffee mug were thrown at Tyler and Glimmer as they came in to grab her too, “NO! GO AWAY!!! ONE! ONE HEAR ME! ONE!!!”
Donor flinched at the psychic surges. She finally gave into 9’s persuasion and used yawn on her distressed kit.
Sage was back at the glass hitting it several times before she huffed and rubbed her face, “No… No I don’t wanna… sleep… I want… One…” before slumping against it holding to the glass loosely…
Glim and Tyler went to get Gemini and Sam up and to be seen for that hard hit.
9 went to check that the human pushed away was okay and floated them onto his back to take them to get care following the others out.
Donor looked over the mess before her eyes widened and tears filled her eyes. Was… was her oldest dying? She set down next to sleeping Sage and leaned on her as she set a paw on the glass. Maybe the humans can help him now still? But… that made her heart ache. If she could sense him dying now then… he’s been actually alive the whole time…
“I’m so sorry…” tears wet her face and she gently rested her forehead on the glass, “I hope you knew I’ve loved you this whole time?…”
The pang in her heart grew heavy. He probably didn’t…
