D POV

I awoke to gurgling sounds, and the nanny had come in with a bottle of some foul looking liquid. It looked like it was alive.

"What is that?" Seb asked.

"Measle medicine, to be administered once an hour."

"Actually, I'm not sure it is the measles," Seb replied.

"How can it be anything other? The chalky white faces, the livid spots, the temperatures of 120 degrees..." She touched Simon's forehead and blew on her hand. "I've seen it time and again. Measles. Definitely. Open."

She poured out some of the medicine. We all groaned in disgust. She lowered the spoon near Si's mouth.

"Simon, don't!" Total whispered.

"I'm not taking that."

"Then you won't get any better believe me."

"It's moving!" Seb yelled.

"I think it's alive!" I added.

Simon took the medicine. Chrissie groaned.

"Eww!" Eric covered his mouth. "Simon, spit it out."

Simon leaned forward on his bed, trying to swallow or spit it out, I couldn't tell.

"You have to swallow it sooner or later. I suggest you get it over with."

"Bloody gross! Si, it's bloody poison!" I shrieked.

He swallowed and tried to get rid of the flavor. I took the paper bag on my nightstand (Dana sleeps across from Aggy) and vomited in it.

"Very good. Who's next?"
