Myka and Artie are out on a case. They took Leena with them for extra help. (this is before Steve or Trailer) (Trailer is the dog, just a reminder) Pete had been back at the B&B for 3 day with a horrible cold, and Claudia stayed to watch him. I do not own warehouse 13 and if I did it would be on the air way more. and there would be some WAY weirder artifacts.

"Claudia!" Pete yelled from his bed. But she didn't seem to hear him. So he snuck out of his room. Claudia told him if he got out of bed one more time she would squirt him with a water gun, so he had not gotten up. At least, not again. After about 7 hits with freezing water, he stayed put. But it was strange for her to not come when he called. At one sound of his voice she ran so fast to his room, it was like there was someone trying to kill her and her only hope was to get to that room. Of course he didn't know why, but he would soon. He walked out into the hallway and called for her again.

"Claudia?!" He yelled this time. No response. Then he finally heard a noise. Very loud yawning coming from downstairs. He ran down, thinking maybe there was someone else in the house, but just found her with her headphones in trying to find a movie to watch. He walked up behind her, tapping her shoulder.

"AH!" She yelled slapping at her shoulder. Then she actually saw it was him.

"Oh... its you, I though there was a spider on my shoulder... or something."

"Tapping your shoulder..." He questioned, suddenly trying to think why a spider would ever tap someone.

"Not everything makes sense!" She said, and then he finally realized her voice was all raspy.

"Claudia... did you get my cold..." he asked. He knew it would be easy to catch it, and told her to tell him is she started to feel bad. Obviously she didn't.

"No." She stated quickly, turning around. She knew she wasn't sick, she was just extremely tired. She had had another nightmare last night, but she didn't tell him, she didn't want to worry Pete. Or for that matter, make him she her weak.

"Claudia-" "No! I'm just... a little tired..." She finally gave in and flopped back on the couch.

"I didn't- I mean I just didn't think you would wanna take care of-" She thought for a minute trying to figure out what to say.

"God, whats wrong with me?!" She mentally yelled at herself. "I never was like this, until... well until last week..." She thought.

Last week had been when there was a small fire in the warehouse. Not that bad, except that Claudia was stuck in it. She had turned around, and stubbed her toe on a shelf. When she did, an artifact fell and set her on fire. She knew to role on the ground, but when she did, it set the shelf on fire. While she was trying to put it out, the shelf had fallen on top of her. She thought the was ok... until she realized 2 things. One, she couldn't run away. Two, everything had gotten wet from the water she brought back, except 1 artifact. And that artifact was Hendricks' guitar. And it just happened to be on top of her. That's of course when Pete had to show up and do something she never expected. When the guitar started electrically shocking her, he didn't neutralize it. He lifted the shelf with one arm, (which was really hard) and pulled her out. While doing that he had gotten burned by the doorknob artifact, almost electrocuted by a guitar, and had gotten pulled muscles in his shoulder. And he asked if SHE was okay?!

Claudia thought back on what happened that day. The day she had started getting... weird. Every time she saw Pete she thought about it. She thought how he rescued her without even caring about getting hurt himself. Ever since then, when she would talk to him, she got dizzy. Her words would jumble up. And she would have to come up with a lame excuse like "I'm fine, just really tired." every time.

During her thinking, she didn't realize Pete was standing in front of her clapping his hands.

"Earth to Claudia!" He called. That's when she awoke from her daydream, and started paying attention.

"Why didn't you tell me you were so tired? I mean you almost just fell asleep sitting there!" Pete asked, sitting beside her on the couch.

"Because, I guess I was afraid you wouldn't care..." She stated, before she knew what she was saying. Then she realized what she had said, and even thought it was true, she felt aweful. She turned her head so he wouldn't see her face turning red.

"Claudia... of course I would care..." He said softly, putting a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and looked at him, then at his hand on her shoulder, then back at him.

"Thanks... I guess I'm just... not feeling great..."

"Well, then you shouldn't just sit here!" Pete said happily, before scooping her up in his arms.

"Pete! what are you doing?!" She yelled, even though secretly she liked it.

"I was gonna carry you-" Pete said before realizing how weird it looked. "-if that's ok with you... y'know, I mean I was-" He tried to finish his sentence, but it didn't quite work because she cut him off.

"Pete its fine"

"Oh- then um- yah!" He stuttered. He had one arm under her legs, and the other arm around her back. As he was walking up the stairs, she snuggled closer into his shirt and put her hands behind his neck, locking her fingers together so she wouldn't fall. As soon as he was at the top of the stairs though, it surprised her when he didn't put her down. He just kept walking to his room.

YAY! rate and review!
