Buffy walks into the bathroom and slower gets undress, then gets into the shower and turns the water on. Buffy stands under the shower head and get her hair wet, so she can wash it and is thinking why am I so tired today and why am I so cold when I am taking a steaming hot shower? After Buffy has washed her hair and finishes clean up Buffy gets out off the shower and drys off, then puts on her pink long sleeve pajama top and pink pajama pants, which both have sun on them. As Buffy is walking out of the bathroom, she starts coughing and is still coughing when she reaches the twin bed that she sleeps on. When Buffy stop coughing she pulls the bedspread down and then sits down on the bed. Buffy then lays down and pull the bedspread up and falls to sleep coughing several minutes later. Across town it is 11:47 p.m. when Faith pulls her minivan into the Harris driveway. Faith's puts the minivan into the parked position and then turn the van off. Faith sits in the minivan for a few minutes with her eyes closes, wishing that the sore throat would go away. In addition Faith is thinking I wish that I was not so tired and that the headache would go away too. A few minutes later Faith's get out of the minivan and shut the driver side door and walks up to the front door of the Harris house. Faith's rings the door bell and wait for someone to come to the door and a few minutes later Mrs. Harris opens up the front door of the house. Mrs. Harris sees Faith standing at the door, then takes a close look at Faith and sees bags under her eyes and that she looks pale, at the same time Faith start sniffling. Mr. Harris picks up Destiny from the couch and grabs the diaper bag off the floor and then walks over to the front door. Mr. Harris stops beside his wife and then looks at the mothers of his granddaughter and sees that Faith's looks pale, exhaust, and that Faith has bags under her eyes.

"You get off work early tonight!"

"Ahem yes I did Mr. Harris, It was slow tonight so my boss let me off early."

"My husband and I can watch Destiny tonight if you want us to Faith?"

"No Mrs. Harris, I will just take her home."

"Are you sure, because you are not looking to well Faith's and it also sound like you have a sore throat and are congested?"

"Yes Mrs. Harris, but thank you for asking."

Faith takes the diaper bag first and put the diaper bag on her shoulder, then takes her daughter from Mr. Harris. Faith turns around and walks to her minivan, at the sometime Mrs. Harris closes the front door of the house. When Faith and Destiny reach the minivan Faith opens the side door of the van and puts her daughter into her forward facing car seat and then hooks Destiny's into the forward facing car seat. Faith then shut the side door of the minivan and walks over to the driver side of the minivan. Faith opens up the driver side door and gets behind the wheel, then Faith shut the door and then turns on the minivan. Faith then takes the van out of the parked position and looks both way and sees no cars, vans, trucks or suv coming downs the street so Faith backs out of the Harris driveway and start driving to her house. On the way home Faith's starts coughing and a few moments after she stops coughing, she starts to sneezes. Destiny pulls a tissue out of the tissue box next to her car seat and reacher her right hand, which has the tissue in it toward the front of the van.

"Here Mommy."

"Thank you."

Faith walks out of her daughters' bedroom and shut the bedroom door behind her. Faith then starts walking toward her bedroom and is thinking to herself, I feel awful and I wish that I had taken Mrs. Harris up on her offer to watch Destiny tonight, because I am exhaust, have a sore throat, a cough, nasal congested, keep sneezes and I think that I am running a fever too. Once in her bedroom Faith's walk over to the bed and lays down on the bed, then Faith's falls asleep before changing out of her black work jeans and her work shirt. Meanwhile at Shady Hill Cemetery Kennedy who has been on antibiotic for seven days is fighting a Child Eater demon, which is a humanoid demon that ears, mouth and eyes like a human, but his skin is tan and has two horns on his head. Kennedy does a roundhouse kick, but the demon blocks the kick by grabbing the slayer legs and throwing Kennedy across the cemetery and into the brick wall that is around the cemetery. At the same time Tara, Willow, Oz, Angel, Xander and Giles are fighting a group of vampires. When Kennedy hit the brick wall, the wind gets knocked out of her. At the same time Willow looks at Kennedy and sees the child eat demon is about kill Kennedy who is laying on the ground face down and trying to catch her breath.

Angel stakes the vampire he is fighting and then runs over to the child eat demon and break the demon neck. At the same time Oz sees that Willow has starts to stumble and runs over to her and puts his arm around his girlfriends' waist.

"Willow that spell was too powerful for you to be during and you should have yelled at Angel and tell him to go help Kennedy."

"Oz's I did what I thought was right at the time. The demon was about to eat Kennedy!"

"Giles's will you tell the mother of my unborn daughter and son that she should be laying off the magic until the babies are born."

"Oz's using magic will not hurt the unborn babies, but Willow should not be doing powerful spells like that. How about you take Tara and Willow home Oz and Kennedy, Xander, Angel and I will finish going through this cemetery and then call it a night."

"Sure Giles's that sound like a great idea to me!"

"I am sure that Faith and Buffy just have the flu and noting supernatural is going on Willow!"

"Willow is right Kennedy and Giles something does not feel right about this?

"Fine Willow and Xander I will see if I can find any information in the books about two slayers falling sick at once, but since the flu is going around town right now it is more likely that Faith and Buffy have the flu."
