As a sleep began to fall onto Egon, Jeanie thought this would be the best time to put on the Vicks vapor rub.

She say sat on the edge of the bed, opened the jar, smeared some Vicks onto her hand, placed her other hand on Egon's right ankle, and applied the medicine on the bottom of his foot.

"Hehehehe..Jeanie please don't(coughs) hehehe," Egon laughed, despite the coughing and sleepiness.

Thankfully, because of the side effect of the cough syrup was kicking in, Egon's body was too limp to move, as Jeanie took another scoop of the Vicks and rubbed it on Egon's left foot, after lightly gripping the cuff of the sweatpants.

"Hehehehe, is this how hehehe you treat a person who's sick..hehehehehehe (coughs) hehehe," Egon asked, still laughing.
After wiping the excess Vicks off her hands with a tissue, Jeanie then placed the socks onto Egon, causing him to muffle a few giggles in the process.
"There we go, said Jeanie, That should keep you nice and warm."

However, Egon did not respond.

"Egon, are you OK? she asked, Egon?"

Jeanie saw that Egon was now sound asleep.

As Jeanie covered Egon, with the blanket Ray had given him the day before, she spoke to him,"I bet it's funny to have someone take care of you.
You're so use to taking care of everything and yourself."
Jeanie removed Egon's glasses from his face and went on talking.
"I have a confession to make, when I was in Florida with Louise, and I heard about Ray's accident, I knew you were going to be the strong one, and the one in charge of keeping everyone under control.
It really took me by surprise that Winston and Peter were the strong ones.
I'm sorry if I ever accused you of being weak and selfish, but you were just over come by emotions.
It was the first time I heard you lash out, and the first time I including the rest of the team saw you cry, I saw a person, not just a scientist, or a ghostbuster.
Everyday that you were hurting, I prayed that you would open up and you did.
You have come so far at expressing your feelings from the first day I came to work with you and the other guys.
It seems like it was only yesterday that Ray hired me on the spot.
At first I wasn't to sure about the job, but it was the second you entered the room, looking for Peter that caught my attention.
I though you were the most handsome, smartest person I ever met.
You might have not noticed, but I had a major crush on you.
I tried my best to get you to notice me, but while you were intelligent on just about everything in the world, you were clueless when it came to relationships,love and romance.
Even after the team broke, I couldn't stop thinking about you.
I tried to find out where you went, but something kept stopping me.
Sure, I moved on, I changed my looks, went on my share of dates, but you were always on my mind.
When I was hired back, I tried to block you out of my thoughts, and I did when I got together with Louis.
But, it's like that feeling never left me.
I don't know what you ever think about me, but I know I'm truely out of your leage."
Egon stirred a bit, and even though his eyes were closed, he spoke,"Did you say (coughs) something to me?"
"No," Jeanie answered.
She patted his shoulder, and brushed a few strands his hair from his face and said,"You get some rest now Egon."
Egon himself was now fast asleep.
Jeanie giggled to herself and said,"He does look cute when he sleeps."
Egon then snored.
"Then again."

Just as Jeanie made her way downstairs, Ecto-1 pulled into the firehouse.
"Those ghouls put up one hell of a fight!" yelled Peter, as he climbed out of the car.
"SHHH!
Dr. Veankman, Egon's fast asleep," said Jeanie as she approached her desk.
"How is he?" asked Winston.
"He's got a fever, still coughing, sneezing, congested and took a little too much cough syrup, but he'll be fine in the morning."
"Thanks for checking on him Jeanie," said Ray, before him and Winston went down to the basement to put the ghosts they trapped into the containment unit.
"No problem Ray," said Jeanie, who went back to typing at her computer.

When Peter went into the bedroom to get ready for his date with Dana, he saw that Egon was indeed out cold.
Usually Peter would pull pranks on his fellow ghostbusters, mostly Ray while they slept, but this time, he made an exception.
"Rest up big guy, we need you to get better," said Peter, before quietly grabbing a change of clothes, his bathrobe and razor, and headed to the bathroom.
After Jeanie left for the day and Peter went on his date, Ray and Winston spent the evening working on Ecto-1, then split a pizza while watching a basketball on TV.
Every so often though, one of them would give a quick check on Egon who was still sound asleep, with letting out an occasional loud snore as he did the night before.
Later on that night, when Peter returned to the firehouse, the three got ready for bed, they made sure not to wake their sleeping scientist.
"At least he's not drooling," Peter laughed when Egon began to snore again.

The next morning, while Peter,Ray and Winston woke up at a reasonable time, Egon was still sleeping.
"I think I know how to get him up," said Peter.
He then dissapeared into the bathroom, and came back into the room, carrying a cup full of water.
"Peter, what are you doing?" asked Winston.
"I've always wanted to see if this was a proven fact," Peter answered.
He made his way to Egon's bed, carefully lifted his arm out from under the blanket and was about to place his hand into the cup of water, when suddely Peter heard a voice.
"Don't even think about it Venkman," said Egon, who's eyes were just opening up.
Peter let go of his hand and said trying to change the subject,"Uh good morning Spengler."
"How are you feeling?" asked Winston.
"(coughs) Not great, but not as..ACHOO! ACHOO!, not as bad as I was yesterday," Egon answered.
"You don't sound as congested either."
"Can we do anything for you?
You hungry at all?" asked Ray.
"Just thirsty right now."
I'll get you some OJ."
"That's OK Ray, I got it, but thanks," said Egon as he got out of bed.
"Wow, nice socks Egon," said Winston with a laugh.
"(cough), I don't..ACHOO! ACHOO! know what you're talking about Winston, I always sleep baref.."
Egon looked down and sure enough, he was wearing still wearing the socks that Jeanie put on him the day before.
"Hey, those are the ones I gave you.
You told me you lost them in the wash," said Peter.
"As luck would have it, I found them," said Egon.
"Wonder what kind of luck," Ray muddered with a laugh to Winston.
Egon quickly placed his slippers on and said after clearing his throat,"Now if you gentlemen will excuse me, I'm going to get a cold drink."
