"So what do you say Ryan, for our final selection? Blade Trilogy?" So far Seth had picked up and discarded at least thirty movies.

"Whatever..." Ryan said, he was leaning up against the wall, and looking like he was having trouble even staying awake.

"Blade Trilogy it is... Unless we want something a little... Deeper. Kurosawa?"

"Dude... Pick... Please. I'm *cough cough* begging you."

"Ryan's right, you both need to get home and get in bed."

"Alright fine..." Seth pouted and lifted up a huge stack of movies.

"Woah! Woah! Seth- what are all of those?" Kirsten asked.

"Mom, it's going to be a few days before we've ACHOO completely healed, and like you said, it's better nod to risk our health going out do get more." Kirsten sighed. She would have argued, but Ryan looked like he was going to fall asleep standing up, better to just get them both home.

"Are you okay sweetie?" She asked, as Seth happily carried his pile of movies up to the counter. She gently rubbed Ryan's back and noticed that it was damp with sweat, and that several droplets were snaking their way down his temples.

"I have a headache," He admitted, "All these lights..."

"We'll be home soon."

"It's so hot in here..." He muttered, wiping the sweat off his face by rubbing his shoulder against it.

"I know sweetie," Kirsten said in sympathy. The cashier checking them out took one look at Seth, who kept sneezing and Ryan who was coughing and sweating, and backed as far away from them as possible as she rang them out.

"Have a nice day..." She told them nervously, as she put their movies into bags.

*************************

Back at home, Seth busied himself with preparing a nest in the living room. Blankets, water bottle, and a DVD player, remote in hand- and he was all set.

Ryan joined, albeit at a much slower pace. On the car ride home, he had stopped sweating and started shaking with cold in his damp sweat- soaked t-shirt.

Kirsten tucked him in to the couch with a blanket and felt his clammy forehead. Sandy ambled out to join them. "Think you got enough movies Seth? Did you leave any at the video store for any one else?"

"Hey, Dr. Bob said to get plenty of rest, and that's exactly what I'm doing." Seth said, as he hit "play" on the remote.

"And how are you feeling kid?" He asked.

"Headache..." Ryan muttered.

"Here sweetie, take these." Kristen handed him several pills and he took them quickly. She did the same for Seth. Ryan was asleep before the movie was even part way through the opening credits.

*******************************

"Feeling up to some dinner?" Kirsten shook Ryan gently awake.

He shook his head, "No... Sorry..." She felt his forehead.

"You're fever's gone down- how's the headache?"

"Still around..." Ryan muttered.

"I'm sorry you're having such a bad day..."

"Are you kidding?" Ryan said, "This is the best sick day ever."
