I only own Aricia, Lily, and my version of Swine Flu. Please enjoy! And review. Those little suckers are what keeps me writing.

Aricia Jones was, as usual, arguing with her parents. They were pressuring her to get a job in immunity, and she protested, saying that she didn't want to be a stupid cop. She flung the front door open and ran right into Thrax. She pushed past the tall virus and ran towards her best friend's house.

"Aricia Jones, get back here!" her father, Osmosis Jones, called to her.

"I'm guessing I came at a bad time?" Thrax asked. Ozzy sighed.

"No, Thrax. Come on in." He stepped aside to let Thrax in. After trying to kill Frank, the virus was caught in another body and sent back to Frank for execution. Later that day, though, they gave him a choice: die or become a spy for immunity. It was a hard choice, considering how much he hated Jones, but he obviously chose spy. That way, he could kill other viruses and not get in trouble.

Thrax threw down a file on the table and Ozzy went through it. The top of the file said:

H1N1 aka Swine Flu

Class: Deadly

"What?! How close is this guy?" Ozzy asked.

"Word in Shane is that her best friend has it. It's only a matter of time before he gets to Frank." Thrax answered.

"Leah, give this file to Mayor Collonic. Tell him to get Frank and Shane vaccinated. We'll need all the help we can get." Ozzy gave Leah the file as she left for work.

Meanwhile, Aricia sat on her best friend's bed, watching cartoons. Her friend, Lily, was a red blood cell who, depending on how she felt, could be completely goth one day then cute and preppy the next. Today, she was wearing a lacey, light blue tank top, a green floral print skirt, and black flats.

"So, do you want to go to school, or just chill out here?" Lily asked.

"I don't know. I just want to be away from my parents." Aricia replied.

"What about Thrax?" Lily asked with a grin. Aricia blushed. Lily knew about Aricia's life-long crush on the virus.

"Ari, why don't you just talk to him?" Lily suggested.

"I try! He's always busy, though." Ari answered.

"I know something that'll cheer you up." Lily gave Ari a flyer for a club. "Wanna go?" Ari nodded.

"First, we need something to wear." Lily said.

The girls hit the mall and headed to Ari's favorite store, Punk Central. Ari bought a short, red tube top, a black leather jacket, a (very) short black and red skirt, and black boots. Ari knew the outfit would make even Thrax fall for her.
