This is just a story I thought of while I was bored. This is going to be a two-shot Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't Doom Patrol. I own the Teddybear show.

8 year old Garfield Logan was miserable with a cold. Mento had ordered him to stay in bed. He had a temperature of 103, his eyes were puffy, and he kept sneezing. Uhhh, he hated being sick. It made him feel weak. Plus, he couldn't look at the Teddybear Show. He heard his door open and saw Rita walk in the door carrying a thermometer, and cold medicine. Mento followed close behind her.

"How are you doing honey?" she asked sitting on his bed.

"I feel cold." he said holding on to the blankets for dear life.

"Let me take your temperature."

He nodded slightly. Rita put the thermometer in his mouth and waited for it to beep. When it did, she removed it form his mouth and stared wide eyed at it.

"What is it?" Steve asked.

"103.2."

"That high?"

She nodded and poured what was left of the liquid cold medicine into the cap.

"Garfield, I need you to take your medicine."

"No." he said in a raspy voice.

"Please."

"No."

Steve was about to intervene when she stopped him.

"Why not?"

"It tastes bad."

"If you don't take it then you won't get better."

Garfield drew an imaginary zipper over his mouth and threw away the key. Steve was getting annoyed and Rita was running out of ideas. Then, a light bulb appeared over her head. She remembered a trick her parents used to do when she was little and refused to take medicine. Rita leaned over and whispered in her husband's ear. He gave her a look that said are-you-serious and she countered him with a look that said help-me-or-you'll-be-sleeping-on-the-couch. Steve sighed, he knew he couldn't win this fight. He nodded his head and she gave the medicine smiling. Both turned back to Garfield.

"You know Garfield, if you don't take your medicine the tickle monster will come after you." Rita said hoping he would believe this.

Beastboy got scared at this. Would a monster really come after him?

"What does it do?"

"It goes after sick little boys and girl and tickles them until they take their medicine."

The sick boy gasped. The tickle monster is going to come after me! Wait, why am I scared, I'm a superhero.

"Will you take you medicine now?" Steve asked hoping he would say yes.

"No! Medicine is yucky and evil!"

"Alright, we warned you." Rita said with an evil smirk on her face. She walked around to the other side of the bed and put her hand on her "son's" stomach. He didn't realize what was about to happen until it was too late. Rita started scribbling her fingers on Garfield's stomach. He laughed as loud as his raspy voice would let him. When he tried to get away, Mento placed a sturdy hand on his shoulder to keep him from moving so much.

"Stop! Please, stop!" he said with tears forming in his eyes.

Steve took advantage of this and poured the medicine into the boy's open mouth. He swallowed without even knowing it and the attack stopped. Garfield realized what happened and pouted.

"You tricked me." he said crossing his arms over his little chest.

"Yes we did. You'll feel better soon. Get some rest, Steve and I will be back soon."

"Where are you going?"

"We have to go to the store and get you some more medicine. Cliff and Larry will watch you. Call them if you need anything." Rita said in the doorway of his room.

"Behave young man."

With that, both let the room. Garfield laid down on his pillow and was silently coming up with a plan to get his adoptive parents back and it involved his two favorite uncles.

I'll post the other chapter very soon. Please give me some ideas on how Garfield should get them back. Please review or I'll get the tickle monster to come after you!
