Entertain the Patients!

Job Info:

Another day meant time for Apollo to work more.  As Apollo set his book down and walked to the job board he wondered what would await him for the day. Apollo sighed as he looked at the job in the Fairy Tail Guildhall.  As he scanned the board with all the jobs on it on caught his eye right away.   He saw a job for the Magnolia Hospital asking for someone entertain the patients.  Apollo sighed "entertaining patients huh"  Apollo scratched his head. "More jobs regarding children huh"  he sighed after just getting back to the charity event.  But he gave a shrug thinking if he could earn money for a charity then he could certainly entertain a bunch of kids for a while.  Apollo always had a thing for kids in need since they were less fortunate then he was. With that in mind he grabbed the job off the board wanting to help the kids.  Apollo looked a little surprised as he grabbed the job though.  He wondered why the hospital is reaching out to the local guilds instead of actual entertainers for was a budget really that low.  Nonetheless he put the note in his pocket got ready to go to Magnolia's hospital.

As Apollo walked to the Hospital he looked up at the sun and gave a heavy sigh.  He didn't have very flashy magic and didn't know how he could possibly entertain a bunch of kids.  He didn't have very flashy magic so he wasn't sure what to do exactly.  As he walking to the hospital he thought about what he could do to to Entertain them.  He shrugged abit then kept walking enjoying the beautiful day outside.  As he walked he checked his pocket watch for the time.  "Oh shoot better pick up the pace..."  with that in mind he picked up his pace to the hospital.  He wasn't on a dead line but wanted to get there soon so he could have time to meet them all and be able to entertain them.   As he walked he couldn't help but compare his past to his then sigh. "Must be rough stuck in a bed all day" he sighed again  doing his best not to run into anyone.

As Apollo hustled he saw the hospital and paused when he stood in front of it.  He held his shoulder for a moment as horrible memories rushes through his head.  "Last time I was here was.....mom" He shutters a bit. Apollo hated hospitals due to these memory's but was determined to get this job done for his guild.  He gulped and walked inside hoping he had gotten over this stupid fear, guess not.  He entered and looked around.  Having a smell of a hospital he walked over past some people getting checked out and some in wheel chairs and other things like that.  He gave a nod to them and kept walking over to the desk.  He straightened his tie a bit and walked up to the receptionist.  "hello how can I help you?" She smiled brightly at Apollo tilting her head ever so slightly.  "Hello I'm Apollo I am hear to entertain the kids" He smiles slightly holding up the job request. "wonderful truly wonderful please wait while I page nurse Glayds"  She smiled brightly at him.  Apollo smiply nodded and took a seat in the lobby and waited

Apollo sighed and looked down at the floor.  Then he took out his silver pocket watch and clicked it open.  As he looked at the time he still had no idea how he was going to entertain these kids.  He thought about what he did at a charity event slightly thinking about if he could do the same thing.  But then disregarded that idea,  thinking how these kids will probably bedridden and not knowing the full situation.  But nonetheless closes pocket watch and looked up thinking how he could possibly do it.  I looked around the hospital he grew a little more uneasy.  Apollo hasn't been to a hospital since having surgery on his back, since the murder of his mother.  As he sat there he closed his eyes for a second as images of the surgery came back to his head and images of his mom's death coming back.  Easy the images very vividly as if he was still there.  Some unknown swordsman thinking her house also strong enough to take on a wizard of her caliber.  Dancing as a result of trying to attack the wizard himself to save his mother but that getting cut down.  The next thing he knew he woken hospital bed, bandages all over him surgery and demand a black suit they give him the most important news of his life.  Apollo jolted as he felt the shake of the shoulder.  It was a nurse staring down at him. "Hello are you Apollo"  she asked looking slightly worried "you all right?" She asked looking at him. Apollo gave a sighed and how to respond to this question.  Then he simply looked up at her they give a response.

Apollo nodded at her "yeah fine, just bad memories is all"  she looked even more confused at him and of course he knew the following question.  Apollo didn't really feel like talking about his past however thinking it would just be open old wounds or suppressed memories he didn't want to remember.  He quickly changed the course of the conversation "are you the one I am supposed to see?"  He asked tilting his head standing up a bit.  "Oh yes thank you for taking our job"  Apollo nodded "yeah no problem so can you explain a little more about what needs to happen?"  He asked want to know what he could do with how long he has.  She gave a simple nod and ushered him to follow. Apollo simply dust himself off and straightened his tie and then gave a nod.  They walked up her double doors and the bolt around at all the rooms.  He was surprised at how big this place wasn't it never ceased to amaze him and sheer size, but it is a hospital so let me since why it is so big.  The nurse in Apollo stop for a moment though.  They walk up to a group of nurses and a kid that's crying a bit. "What's going on here?" she asked  tilting her head a bit.  The little boy responded before the nurses could  "my balloon is stuck up there and no one here can reach it"  he sniffles a bit.  "The nurse looks up Apollo gave a sigh "hold on a minute"  he smiled at the boy.  Making a small shield staircase he walks up it and grabs the balloon.  "Here you go kid get better soon Okay" without even a word of thanks the kid smiles and runs off was balloon happily followed by the other nurses running after him.  Nurse Glayds looks at Apollo and smiles "thanks for that."  Apollo shrugged "it's not no problem there's no point having magic if you can help others with it"  he shrugged.  She simply smiled at him and nodded "I think you'll be perfect for this job."  Apollo tilted his head and continue to follow her "well lets discussed specifics shall we." She looked back at him.

Apollo nodded as he followed her "if you don't mind" he responded looking forward as they walked. " Not at all" she smiled. "To put it plainly we need you to simply entertain them till lunch, about just been cut so low we can't entertain them ourselves, also no magic secondary to hospital if you don't mind." She said with a hint of sarcasm. "Okay then is anything you know about anything they like?" Apollo asked wishing to know more about his audience. I stopped to think about it "well the quantitatively had one time did a disappearing act they thought that was cool" she shrugged a bit. Apollo sighed "can't disappear but I think I have an idea" he nodded at her. 'Good happy here that "she said is a push of her double doors. "You have any questions" Apollo shook his head "no I think I got this"he said looking back at her. "good shall we going" she looked at him. "Yeah sure" Apollo nodded. She open the double doors. As Apollo walked in the large rectangular room he saw about 20 beds all lined up along the wall. The kids all stared at him expecting him to do something already "kids this is our entertainer but I'll let him introduce himself" she looked at him. Apollo gave a sigh and gave a small smile ready to put on the show.

Apollo looked around the room. He saw all the kids look at him expecting something great.  "Hello everyone my name is Apollo" as he said this he pointed up and made his name appear using his shields.  The kids looked in amazement at the trick. Then he clapped his hand making the name that was formed out of the shield turn into super small forms of shield looking like dust.  As it drifted around him he spoke again.  "I am a member of Fairy Tail guild."  And then he threw his hands up in the dust shot up and formed the guild logo above him.  The kids clapped as he did this then he clapped again to make it turn to dust and then formed it into a rabbit to run over all of the kids heads leaving a trail of dust behind it to sprinkle down on them. The kids all looked in amazement as the rabbit did this.  The nurse smiled as he did his trick then the rabbit ran up to the nurse and Apollo made it sit on her head.  This made all of the kids laugh then the rabbit dissipated "all right I hope you all enjoy that there is much more to come"  he smiled looking at all the kids.  He then made a small platform for him to stand on in the middle of the room.  He jogged up to it and jumped on top of it "okay kids what trick would you like to see next" he asked hoping it will be nothing to hard.  One kid snickered and raised his hand.  Apollo pointed to him" what he want to see?"  He asked with greater enthusiasm.  "I want to see the trick with the box and the swords"  all the kids suggest an agreement. Apollo gave a sigh and straightened his tie thinking how he could do this then snapped his fingers. "But of course prepare to be amazed" he said looking at him.

Everyone looked at Apollo expectingly waiting for him to perform even the nurse looked at him skeptical. With that he looked at the nurse.  "Do you have a sheet of paper yes looking at her?" She simply nodded and handed him a piece of paper from her clipboard "thank you"  he said watching her walk Back to where she was standing.  Then Apollo smiled and simply drop the piece of paper then in the same swift action he made one of his shields cut the piece of paper in half . "As you can see by shielding magic is perfectly capable of doing this task so if you all ready let's begin"  he smirked a bit.  Then form big black rectangles formed around him putting him in a box.  Then after that he made a bunch of shields around him look like swords he made about 12 or so three on each side. The sword circled the box and then in one swift motion made the swords stabbed the box in random locations. He heard the kids and the nurse gasp he even heard of you kids wonder if he was okay.  He smoked inside knowing what he had done in the milling magician secret.  With that then the box shattered with the swords and he made the dust looking material guidance wall around him and then dissipate as he stood there unharmed.  Everyone in the room clapped happily.  He took a bow as the nurse looked at them then he smiled.

"Apollo smiled "Well thank you all for having me today I look forward to next time" he smiled at all the kids. the kids looked sad "awww do you have to go?" they all looked at him sadly. Apollo sighed abit as he looked down "yes I do but i can come back again sometime if you all" want" the kid smiled and with that he took his leave but before he could get out a kid called to him "How did you do it?" he tilted his head' "Oh.... magic I guess" He chuckled a bit and left leaving the kids on a positive note. As he walked out we smiled ad made the Fairy Tail symbol again and made the dust scatter around the room and then he left for good.

"So how did you do it?" the nurse turned to ask him. Apollo rubbed his head more "I just made the sword ends dis sapper and form the ends on the other side...." he sighed looking at her. "Well thank you for coming out today it means the world to us" She smiled at him. Apollo nodded "Happy to help and know Fairy Tail will always be around if you need us" He nodded. She smiled and shook his hand, and went to leave the hospital.
