………
Today was the battle against the Pirates Team. Bit got up feeling a little dizzy, but he walked it off. He had been feeling like that every morning for the past week. Bit knew what it was. He took his medication like he was supposed to. What if it was getting worse? He tried not to think of that. He had other things to think about. Like the battle today. Bit grabbed his usually piloting attire and donned it. He departed from his room taking one last glance back at his bed where he'd much rather be. He was approaching the kitchen. Everyone was in there. He had to pull himself together. Bit took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen.
He had the usually smile on his face as he entered the room. Everyone was sitting and like usual Doc and Leena were annoying Jamie to hurry up with the food. Jamie ignored them. Brad was sitting not far off drinking his coffee as usual. Bit sat down next to the Doc. He felt lightheaded so suddenly. He thought he was going to pass out. He started blacking out. He leaned down pretending to fix his shoelace as the blood rushed to his head. He closed his eyes. His head hurt badly. He fumbled with his shoelaces hoping to make it look normal. When he sat up no one had noticed him lean down. / What a relief! I thought for sure I'd pass out. Maybe I shouldn't go in the battle today. No! That will be a dead give away!/ Bit thought to himself as he waited for breakfast. He wasn't hungry. He felt too nauseous. But he had to eat other wise it might get their attention. He couldn't bear it if they found out.
He looked over to Brad. He was sipping his coffee and acted like he usually did. Bit was glad they hadn't asked why he had leaned down like that. Finally Jamie served the food. "Okay guy's here's your green eggs and ham!"
The Doc and Leena made the funniest faces. Bit tried hard not to laugh. Jamie handed him a plate with Eggs and bacon on it, in a kind of smiley face. Bit was able to get most of it down along with some orange juice. After breakfast everyone left to do whatever to keep them busy until the battle. Bit hid in the Hanger with the Liger while he waited. "I can't tell them about it Liger! They will only treat me different!"
The Liger growled, "They are your friends they'll understand!"
"Maybe…" Bit said feeling dizzy again. He lay down on the Liger's back and closed his eyes. He was unconscious.
A few hours later everyone was ready to head off to battle. The Doc called for Bit, "Bit, are you? The battle will begin soon we have to leave now!" Doc said coming into the hanger.
Bit stirred a little he rolled over, he was very dizzy. He looked at the Doc. "I'm coming!" Bit placed his head between his knees to try to clear his head. When he was better he stood up and climbed down off the Liger and headed into the Hover Cargo while the Doc put the Liger inside.
They were on their way to the battle field. Bit had to pull himself together. He just had to. If not they all would find out. After lingering in the waiting area, he was finally called to battle.
He was finally out on the battle field. The sooner he ended this battle the better. Across from him he could see a team consisting of three Revraptors. /Those are easy prey./ Bit thought to himself as he studied them.
Bit began to get dizzy again. /This has to stop!/ He thought to himself. He closed his eyes. Suddenly he heard, "…Ready Fight!" /What? I'm not ready yet!/ Bit's eyes shot open as he saw an enemy Zoid approaching him. He ran to one side and dodged a blast from it. Leena had already destroyed one enemy with her missile barrage. Bit turned around He had to destroy at least one before he got even dizzier. He jumped and used the Strike Laser Claw. But to no avail the enemy dodged it and sliced at Bit with one of its curved blades. Bit's fell to the ground. He hit his head. He held it with both his hands. He looked up the enemy was above him ready to shoot. Bit leapt to one side as best he could, to dodge the attack. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. /No not now!/ Bit began to panic. He winced in pain. He skidded to a stop. He tried to ignore the pain. He ran at the enemy Zoid and body slammed it. It fell to the ground. He jumped at it and damaged the Zoid with his Strike Laser Claw Attack.
"Battle Over! The Winner is the Blitz Team!" The judge proclaimed the victory and shot off back into space where he had come. Bit could hardly breathe. He felt faint again. He was trying to inhale as deep as he could. His heart was racing, faster than it should. Finally he was in the Hover Cargo again. He hid with the Liger wincing in pain. He curled up into a fetus position trying to put a pressure against his chest to ease the pain. Luckily no one came to fin him.
When he arrived back at the base, he went straight for his room. He stripped his clothes and fell naked into bed. He was dizzy, in pain, and sick. He reached for his medication. He took two pills out of the bottle and swallowed them. He laid his head on his pillow and curled up under the blankets. He was soon asleep.

Brad was in the kitchen waiting for Jamie to finish dinner. Leena sat there along with the Doc nagging Jamie to hurry. Jamie still ignoring them turned to Brad. "Where's Bit at? Dinner is gonna be ready soon."
"Dunno. Maybe with the Liger or in his room. Want me go get him?" Brad asked putting his cup of coffee down.
"Yeah. Don't worry dinner wont be done till you return!" Jamie said winking.
Brad left the kitchen and headed for Bit's room first. It was closer. He knocked. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer. Brad had never been inside Bit's room now that he thought about it. He opened the door and looked over to the bed. There was a lump underneath the blankets. And according to the certain clothing pieces littered across the floor, the Lump was completely naked. Brad didn't dare remove the covers. He merely looked over to try and see Bit's face. His eyes were closed. He was asleep. Brad didn't want to wake him. He looked onto the bed side table and saw a pill canister. /Must be sleeping pills. No point waking him up./ Brad pulled the covers up over bit's bare shoulder and left the room to get his dinner.
The next morning at breakfast, Bit still wasn't up. "Might as well let him sleep." Brad said. He had checked on bit when he woke up.
However, later on when lunch came around Bit still wasn't up. "Brad maybe you should go check on Bit." Jamie said whipping together some sandwiches.
Brad left and headed for Bit's room. When he entered Bit was lying on his side breathing heavily. He was sweating heavily also. Brad knelt down and touched bit's forehead. It was hot, very hot. Brad pulled the one sheet that was coving Bit's body down a bit to cool off it's torso but still covered him enough to keep him decent. "Bit." Brad whispered nudging Bit's face with his hand. Bit didn't stir, nor did his breathing change. Brad pulled Bit up so he was sitting this woke him up.
Bit opened his eyes, and saw Brad looking at him. Bit was lying in his arms. "Brad?" Bit said sitting up a little more. He was dizzy again. He fell back and Brad caught him.
"Are you alright?" Brad asked lying Bit down flat.
Bit could barely hear what Brad was saying. He heard his heart beat in his ears. It was loud. "Just a little tired." Bit couldn't let him know!
"Bit I know something is wrong. Tell me what it is, or I'll go get the Doc." Brad threatened.
Bit's eyes widened. "No don't!" he pleaded with Brad.
"Why not? Tell me the truth Bit!" Brad said looking him straight in the eye.
"You have to promise you won't tell anyone! It isn't serious! It happens sometimes! Please promise you won't tell anyone!" Bit pleaded. He was on his knees in bed. The sheets were falling off.
Brad caught the sheets and pulled them around Bit. "Alright. But if it get's worse I'm telling them! Got it?"
"Fine." Bit said quietly, holding the sheets around his shoulders.
"So what's wrong?" Brad asked sitting next to Bit.
"I…" Bit mumbled something that Brad couldn't make out.
"What?"
"I have heart problems okay?" Bit said lying down again. He covered his head with the sheets. They were wet from his sweat.
Brad was quiet. Bit didn't want to look at him. "So it's not serious? You said that right?"
"Right. It just happens sometimes. I just get tired out and my heart follows suit. I just need some rest that's all." Bit said from under the covers.
"Alright. But remember if you get worse I tell the others. Understand?" Brad said pulling the cover off of Bit's head.
"Fine." Bit replied closing his eyes.
"I'll just tell them you have a bug, and it's probably 24 to 48 hours. Is that enough time to get better?"
"Yeah, it's perfect." Bit rolled over onto his other side. Brad started to leave the room. "Thanks Brad."
Brad left and told the other that Bit had a bug, and it was nothing to worry about.
