"NO!" Boq screamed, suddenly bolting upright on his bed, surprising all of them.

"Boq, thank goodness you're awake!" Nessa said, but she frowned when she realized that Boq wasn't responding, he was still mumbling, as if he was still asleep,

"Fabala, what's wrong with him?" She asked worriedly, making Elphaba spring into action almost immediately.

"He's delirious because of his fever! Quick, Nat, get a cool cloth, Hope you assist her. He must be dreaming, his eyes aren't really focused right now. Let's try waking him." Elphaba assessed.

Nat and Hope did as they were told while Nessa, Elphaba and Madison tried to wake Boq up.

They tried waking him several times, while Nat pressed the cold cloth to the boys forehead, as Elphaba commanded. Hope was doing the same as well. Nessa and Elphaba were also doing their best in coaxing him to wake up. After what seemed like years but apparently was only 5 minutes, Boq returned to his normal self, making everyone sigh in relief.

"Pass the thermometer, please." Elphaba told Chantal, making the latter nod and pass it to her.

"103.6 We still need to bring it down. But unless we don't know his illness, we can't be sure on what to give him." Elphaba said.

"Boq, how do you feel right now?" Nessa inquired. Boq opened his mouth to speak but closed it again. He tried again but failed.

"What's wrong?" Elphaba asked this time. He held his throat and then shook his head, making their eyes grow wide.

"You lost your voice?" Madison asked, making Boq nod.

"We need to find out what's wrong with him and fast!" Hope exclaimed, making the other girls nod.

"Wait, he has a cough, right?" Nia inquired, making Nat nod.

The room was silent for awhile as they stared at Chantal and Nia, who was searching for the answer to all of their questions.

"We've got it!" Chantal said, making the girls all say in unison say, "What is it?"

"Viral pharyngitis. It says it will eventually pass in a few days."

"Well how can we cure it?" Madison asked.

Nia looked at the laptop before responding, "Gargling with warm water with salt, Tylenol or Ibuprofen to help bring down the fever, and drinking warm liquids are some of them."

For a moment there was a silence in the room before Elphaba eventually said, "Nat, text the others to prepare any warm liquid and a warm salted glass of water. We'll be the ones to work on the medication."

The others nodded and they started their tasks.

"Where's the salt, guys?" Elisa asked. Stephanie pointed to a near drawer. Elisa thanked her before getting the salt

"Is the water ready for the salt to be placed?" Julie asked. Vanessa walked over to Glinda who said, "Almost, but not yet."

Nelly's phone buzzed, catching everyone else's attention.

"Who is it from?" Fiyero asked.

"Nessa. She says that only three people are allowed to go inside the room for the sake of Boq. Also, she added that Chantal placed the Wii near the living room so the others can play. She says that they'll update us on his condition soon."

"Okay, so who's going," Emily asked. They all thought about this for a moment.

"How about Fiyero, Elisa and Vanessa?" Glinda suggested. They all nodded, and so with that, they went to their respective venues.

"Oh, poor Boq." Elisa said quietly once they entered the room. Elphaba lightly kissed Fiyero's cheek before whispering back, "He's finally having a peaceful sleep. Put the things on the nightstand, and thanks for doing this. You guys can stay as well."

The three newcomers nodded and did as what they were told.

They were all quietly chatting with each other until Boq woke up. He still looked pale, and he was still a bit shaky.

"Okay, so Boq, we're going to let you gargle warm salted water, it'll help, alright?" Nessa said, stroking his hair, making him nod.

Nessa and Fiyero helped him to the bathroom while Nia followed with the salted water.

"Oh, by the way, what is he sick with?" Vanessa inquired.

"Viral pharyngitis." Chantal answered, making both Elisa and Vanessa nod.

The hours passed and Boq began to feel just a bit better. He still felt awful, but a bit better than how he felt awhile ago.

When he finally succumbed to another peaceful sleep, Chantal said, "Let's just do either light activity that he can handle, or let him rest here with someone on watch for a bit. We'll let him join us in our other activities once he fully recovered."

Everybody agreed to this and slowly headed out of the room.

Currently, In the living room, Glinda and Nelly were having a round of bowling on Wii resorts, but when the two of them (together with the rest), saw the others, they immediately stopped what they were doing and went to them.

"So is he alright?" Julie asked.

"Well, he's going to be with bed rest." Elphaba answered, making she and the others nod.

"How about his dinner?" Glinda asked this time.

"We'll try to make food he can handle, and we'll bring it to his room." Vanessa said.

"Well for now, let's just wish nothing any more serious will happen to him." Nia said, which earned her approval from all of the others."
