It was another regular day for Chet cruising around Starlight City doing his daily safety patrols. So far nothing was out of the ordinary and no new freaks had come to show their faces and 'prove' how much better they were than his brother Theo.

On that thought he made his way towards the track. FAST was at it again performing all their usual stunts. Whiplash being crazy, Smoove Move enjoying the beat of his music as he cruised, Skidmark all hyper, Burn speeding around and White Shadow being... White Shadow.

Wait... Where's Theo?

Chet scanned the whole track but didn't see any sign of his brother, not even the resting area.

That's weird Theo never misses out on racing and I don't recall him being out for anything.

"Hey Boo!" Chet called out to Burn.

Burn looked towards his direction before speeding over to him.

"Hey ya baby, what's up?" She asked giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Well nothing unusual... I think, where's Theo? I've never known him to miss out on racing time."

"Yeah he's been acting weird, he's been all curled up his shell and not wanting to get out of bed, least that's what Whiplash told me."

Chet got an odd look on his face.

"Theo actually curling up in his shell is NOT normal... That's concerning, I better go check on him."

Burn nodded.

"Do your thing Boo, see you later."

Burn speeded back on to the track as Chet made his way for the little place he and Theo called home. Tito had made them a little house by the tomato plant out of a cracked flower pot. Decoration was left up to Chet and Theo. It was simple and gave Chet memories of home.

"Theo?" Chet called sticking his head in through the 'door.'

"ACHOO!"

WHAM!

Chet jumped as he saw his brother speed on past crashing into a wall.

"Theo!"

Chet rushed over to his brother who was looking a bit more pale than usual.

Theo let out a bit of a groan as he looked up at his brother.

"Hey Chet..."

He doesn't sound good either, his voice is all raspy.

Chet felt around his brother's head with his eyes. He felt warm.

"Hm… Fever, sneezing, and raspy voice sounds like you're coming done with a cold Theo."

"Y-Yeah I n-noticed-ah ah-ACHOO!"

WHAM!

Chet winced seeing his brother crash again.

"And seems like you're sneezing it's make you rev around as well."

"Yeah… Been trying to fight it all morning… Plus I rev even if I don't sneeze my powers are going haywire…"

Right as he said that the lights in his eyes turned on.

"Oh come on!"

He bit his tongue turning them off.

Chet got an overly worried look as he made his way towards his brother.

Theo looked at him giving a scared look. He hadn't seen him make an expression like that since the Indy 500.

"Oh Theo come here..."

Chet pulled his brother into a slug hug with his stocks. Theo hugged him back.

"It'll be okay, you got me around after all."

Theo smiled a little.

"Yeah Mr. Safety never fails to do his job... Save the one time with Ace."

Chet rolled his eyes chuckling a little.

"Only once and that didn't count because it was rigged."

"True..."

Theo coughed a little before curling half way into shell, shivering.

Chet made his way over to Theo's bed and grabbed his blanket and draped it over Theo.

"Do you want me to stay here or do you want some time alone?"

"Could you stay... Please..?"

"Of course."

Chet sat next to Theo as he cuddled up to him.

"Thanks Chet…"

"Hey… What are brothers for right?"

Theo smiled closing his eyes letting sleep take over.

Chet nuzzled him a little keeping watch over him.

Even if he's the Indy 500 Champion…

He's still my little brother.
