Fizz sighed, the rest were laughing and having a good time, but she had a headache. It was usually rare that she had a headache, but this was her forth in four days and Ol'Skool was concerned.

"Could you keep it down?" Fizz asked

"Another headache?" Deets asked. She was worried herself but there wasn't much she could do.

Fizz went into her room and Burn didn't seem to notice

"Burn aren't you the slightest bit worried about Fizz?" she demanded.

"What do you mean?" Burn asked.

"Other than the fact that this is the fourth time she's had a headache in four days, you're usually concerned when any of us go to bed during the day! Besides she's been nausious off and on for the last few days"

The gong called the curriers for their next job and even Fizz came, but Deets noticed that her neck was stiff and she seemed tired. Burn also noticed these things.

'Deets was right, something is wrong with Fizz' Burn thought

It was in the middle of the drop that Burn really got worried.

'I'm definatly checking these symptoms when we get back to the dojo' he thought.

They got back to the dojo and Burn began to look up the symptoms and was stunned by what he read.

"Meningitis" he read "the symptoms match"

Deets looked over Burn's shoulder.

"Hey, do you mind?" Burn demanded.

"Do you think that's what she has?"

"I'm hoping it isn't, but I can't keep in the fear that it is" Burn sighed.

"I'm going to get Ol'Skool"

"Get me for what?" Ol'Skool asked

"To look at this," Burn said.

"Why are we looking at this?"

"Because, as much as we don't want to think aboutit, we think Fizz may have this." Burn said

"I'm going to check on her", Ol'Skool said.

He soon found her in her workshop, but she looked like she belonged in bed, her face was flushed and she was holding onto the table for support because she was dizzy.

"Fizz, come here!" he commanded.

"Yes, Ol'Skool" she walked over to him and he checked her forehead.

"Go to bed now!" he said, "I'll be in there in a minute."

Fizz left and Ol' Skool sighed.

'I fear Burn is right' he thought

Ol'Skool checked Fizz and found that she was running a high feaver, too hight, 104.3F

"I'm definatly calling the doctor for this one" he sighed.

The local doctor got there and checked Fizz.

"I want her taken to the Emergency Room, now!"
