Later that day, Cuddles was hanging out at the park. He was just relaxing, listening to the birds and the chatter of Generic Tree Friends around him. Suddenly, however, his cell phone rang, so he took it out and checked who was calling. It was Toothy, so Cuddles answered.

"Hello?"

"C-Cuddles?" Toothy replied on the other line. His voice didn't sound much better than it had that morning.

"Hey, Toothy, what's up?" Cuddles asked.

"Actually..." Toothy gave an audible sniff. "I dod't feel so good..."

"Oh, really?" Cuddles became a bit concerned. "What's wrong?"

"I've cobe dowd with a code," Toothy said. He cleared his throat a little and continued. "Do you thig you cad cobe over ad take care of be?"

"Oh, sure, Toothy," Cuddles said in concern. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Th-thadk you..." Toothy then hung up.

Cuddles put away his phone, then got up, pulled out his skateboard and rode it on the way to Toothy's house.

Toothy was still laying in his bed, not feeling any better. His throat was still feeling sore, his head was pounding, and his nose was a bright red shade. As he waited for Cuddles to arrive, Toothy sniffled, coughed and rubbed his head a few times. The final action wasn't making his head feel any better, but he didn't care. He just wanted to feel better. After a couple of minutes had gone by, Cuddles finally arrived and knocked before he opened the door to Toothy's bedroom.

"Hey, Toothy," Cuddles greeted him. "You alright?"

"N-no..." Toothy said with a sniffle.

Cuddles opened the door completely and went over to Toothy. "You don't look so good, either."

"I dow." Toothy's nose suddenly twitched, a sign that he was going to sneeze. Knowing what was about to happen, Toothy turned away from Cuddles and tilted his neck back. His hands moved up to cover his mouth. "Aaaaah... AaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH- CHOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!"

Cuddles winced a little as Toothy doubled over with his sneeze. He then removed his hands and sniffled as he rubbed his nose with his arm.

"Ugh, sorry..." Toothy apologized.

"No, it's fine. Bless ya," Cuddles replied.

"Thadk you." Toothy blushed as he continued to rub his nose. Aside from the occasional "Gesundheit," hearing Cuddles bless anyone after they sneezed was a rare thing, but Toothy was happy to have heard him say it.

Cuddles placed his hand on Toothy's forehead, but it was feeling warm. "Yep, you got a fever," Cuddles said.

"I cad tell..." Toothy said as he sniffled again.

"Don't worry, buddy," Cuddles said reassuringly. "You're gonna be just fine."

"Thadks, Cuddles..." Toothy gave a weak smile. "I ab so happy you agreed to do this for be."

"Anything for you, Toothy," said Cuddles with a smile. "If there's anything you need from me, just tell me."

Toothy sniffled in response. "I guess I'd just like sobe water, please..."

"Alrighty, then." With that, Cuddles left the room to fulfill Toothy's request.

Toothy stayed in his bed, sniffling once again. His nose had started running a bit, so he rubbed it a few times. He could tell it wasn't helping, however; his nostrils had started to flare up slightly. Toothy pulled his hand away from his nose and tilted his neck back, about to sneeze again.

"Aaaaaaah... Haaaaaaaaahhhhhhh... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" What followed that final inhale was the kind of sneeze that Toothy almost never released, followed by another one of the same flavor. "-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Ugh!" Toothy rubbed his runny nose several times with his forefinger as he sniffled wetly. He then reached over to his tissue box, grabbed a tissue and blew his nose loudly. He then groaned as he wiped his nose with the tissue, looking embarrassed about himself. And the next thing he knew, Cuddles was walking back into the bedroom with his water.

"Whoa! Bless you!" Cuddles was looking and sounding surprised. He must have heard the two loud sneezes.

Toothy blushed even more as he continued to wipe his poor nose.

"Um, excuse be..." He blew his nose again, for a brief moment this time. It wasn't much relief, so he kept wiping his nose. "I didn't dow I was godda sdeeze that loud."

"It's alright. I just didn't know, either." Cuddles walked up to Toothy and handed him the bottle of water he had asked for. "Here's your water."

"Th-thadks." Toothy took it, opened it and drank some of the water. It felt cool and soothing as it made its way down his throat. When he finished, he sighed.

"Anything else?" Cuddles wanted to know.

"I'll... let you dow..." Toothy replied before he had some more of his water.

Cuddles nodded in understanding, but stayed in the room with Toothy. He could tell that this was going to be a long day for the two of them.
