"In the name of all that is evil, I demand that you--waahCHOO!--cure this plague!" Voltar ranted miserably pulling a tattered plaid robe tighter around his tiny frame.
"I'm trying, I'm trying! How can you expect he to succeed where modern science has failed in a mere twenty minutes?" Doktor Frogg replied testily as he tinkered with an incomprehensible mess of multicolored fluids bubbling and steaming in an array of tubes and beakers spread over the kitchen table. "It'll take at least thirty!"
"Don't worry, Voltar, I'll whip up some of Gram-Gram Menace's famous chicken noodle soup," Red assured him cheerfully, checking cabinets. "We're out of noodles, though... And chicken, come to think of it. Oh, well; I'm sure I can make do..."
Voltar just slumped in his chair. "Stupid cold." He sneezed expansively. "Curse you an' all that..."
Later!
"Soup's almost done! We didn't have any of the ingredients in the recipe, so I used beets and lentil." Red Menace sampled his brew. "Yep, that is definitely pretty much edible!"
Meanwhile, Frogg paused in his experiments to giggle maniacally.
"Wha--?" Voltar mumbled, half-waking from his illness-induced stupor. "What's goin' on?"
"At last! I have succeeded where generations before me have met nothing but bitter failure!" the Doktor ranted gleefully.
"We already went through this," Voltar pointed out irritably through his congestion.
"Well, excuse me for trying to build a dramatic moment," Frogg snapped in return, holding up a beaker of unnaturally purple liquid. "After all, it's not every day that someone cures the common co--ehCHOO!"
The beaker slipped to the ground and shattered.
"NOOOOOO!!' came the synchronized lament from both villains.
"Aww, now you're both sick," Red intoned sympathetically. "Good thing I made lots of soup!" He brought over two steaming bowls of somewhat suspicious liquid, beaming with blithe pride.
His two friends eyed the offering with trepidation.
"Well, kill or cure, as they say," Frogg sniffed, trying to maneuver a spoon.
"I'll take either," Red said flatly, digging in.
