The Box Under The Bed. (2)

The Twinns had Leah transported to the sickbay while they tried to find a suitable body for their poor possessed friend.
"Do you think she will be OK?" Asked Rory.
"I don't know, I have no experience with possessed dolls or disembodied heads." Harmony admitted, "they don't tell you about these things when you get trained. Often one has to make it up as you go along."
Leah stared up at the ceiling, occasionally the head would chatter along seemingly to itself. There was no indication that Leah was suffering any ill effects, but she also didn't seem to be in her body either anymore.
Rory looked at Leah who was existing in her own world now, "Harmony, I get the impression that the lights are on, but nobody is home."

The Twinns left their friend in the capable hands of Nurse Meko. She had brought along Carlisle the crocodile and was very concerned about the poor possessed Twinn, her previous nursing experience had been limited to the occasional plaster and triangular bandage after a successful crocodile camp. Carlisle, in charge of morale at the Continuum, had come to observe and offer moral support. Meko tucked Leah in for the 3rd time, she wanted to help so badly, but the only thing she could think of was to maintain a vigil and keep Leah as comfortable as she could while Harmony went looking for a solution.
While she was being trained, Harmony had often been told that whenever you didn't know what to do it was always best to contact Kimberly, a wise Twinn who had dealt with similar cases before and was very experienced. It was said that Fox Mulder had consulted her about a number of X-Files cases. Harmony, Rory and Kimberly met at Kimberly's office and explained the situation.

"There is no easy solution I am afraid," Kimberly explained, "In cases like this it is often better to just go with your heart. I feel that the best way to return your friend to you is to find this poor head a body so that she can become part of the greater Twinn Continuum."
"But where do we find one? there are so few bodies available and often they are non-poseable." explained Harmony helplessly.
"You do not believe in yourself my friend, you must realise that you have been chosen to bring this unfortunate Twinn to fulfillment. Many are chosen but very few succeed. Look deep within yourself, feel the armature flow within you, the answer lies within."
"You are correct Kimberly, I know the answer, I can feel it. Come Rory, I think I know just the place where we will find that body."
"May the armature be with you my friends, let us go forth, seek the solution. Oh, and please call me Kimmie.

The Twinns were drawn towards the garden, and to the sinister looking shed that lay at the bottom of it amongst a grove of trees.
"This is the place, I can feel it." Harmony said somewhat shakily.
"Are you ready to fulfill your destiny Harmony?" Asked Kimmie.
"yes. I am ready, I feel strong. I can feel the armature is with me.

Harmony managed to slip the latch and opened the door. Rory found the light switch and turned it on, the Twinns we amazed by what they saw. It was a veritable treasure trove of goodies and delights.
"Oh, this is wonderful!" Said Harmony, her confidence returned.
"I said that you must believe in yourself Harmony. The armature has led you to this place, what happens after this is up to you."
"Thank you dear Kimmie, I don't know what we would have done without you."

A flaccid Twinn body lay abandoned on a table. "I think we would need a bicycle pump to get this one to work" Rory chuckled.
"Look, this must be what happens when a road roller runs over a Twinn." Kimmie joked, trying desperately to cheer everybody up.

"Hush everybody, listen, can you hear something?" Harmony said.
The Twinns listened, there was a muffled "bump bump" noise coming from a big box in the corner. "Its coming from this box..."
They gathered around, the noise was definitely coming from the box.
"We better open it, there may be a solution to our problem in here Harmony."
"Yes, I feel it is what we are looking for. I can feel it in my armature."

They levered the box open
A healthy looking body jumped energetically out of the box, drew itself erect and waved its arm about.
"I think its trying to say something, " remarked Kimmie.
"I think its trying to say that it is the one". Harmony agreed. |

"The armature is strong in this one". Kimmie remarked.
