Zukos POV

I woke up with a bad headache. And when I stood up I felt dizzy. I was also congested. I walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Zuko. Zuko you look awful."

"I'md find uncle. (coughs)"

"Zuko go on the couch. But before you do that change your pajamas please."

I went to my room and put on my Dallas Cowboys pajamas. Them I lied on the couch again. Oh great uncle got out his nurse stuff. He was going to be doctor uncle again. It was cool when I was little. Mostly because I listened to my heartbeat with his stethoscope but now it get annoying. He came over and felt my forehead.

"Oh Zuko. You're burning up."

"Uncle. It this nedisery."

"But you loved it when you were little."

"That's wad then. This id now."

He put the thermometer in my mouth and grabbed my wrist and started taking my pulse. A little bit later the thermometer beeped.

"101. No wonder you feel so hot."

Then he took my blood pressure and looked in my mouth and ears and eyes.

"I need you to take deep breaths nephew."

Almost every time I did I had to cough.

"You're really congested Zuko. I just need to listen to your heart nephew."

He did that for a few minutes.

"Zuko do want to listen to your heart like when you were little?"

"Uncle I'm 16.'

"Oh fine."

Oh great he did the sad act again.

"Okay find."

He put the ear pieces in my ears and put the metal thing over my heart. After that I pulled the blanket over me. I was freezing.

"Well Zuko you do have the flu. I need to go to work for a few hours. I'll be home at noon."

'"I'md not sick uncle."

Then I went into a fit of coughing.

"I want you to relax. You know the number to reach me if you need anything. I'll make lunch and give you medicine when I get home."

O great. I hated medicine. It tastes awful. Spot kept me company most of the time. I watched Scooby-doo all day. When that was over I fell asleep. I woke up to feeling a hand on my forehead.

"You're really burning up Zuko. Let me take your temperature again."

It only to a few minutes to her the beeping noise.

"102. I think it's getting worse hopefully this medicine will help."

Oh great the disgusting stuff.

'"I'md nod taking that."

"Oh Zuko you can wash it down with ginger ale as soon as you swallow it."

I swallowed it quickly. I started drinking the ginger ale quickly. Then I felt a wet rag on my forehead.

"I know it's cold but it will help cool you down. I'm making you chicken noodle soup."

I mostly listened to music and audio books the rest of the day. But I watched some cartoons. Around 8 I watched Courage the Cowardly dog show. After that I feel asleep on the couch. The next few days were the same. Finally after 4 days of torture I could hang out with my friends.

"Hey Zuko. Are you contagious?"

"Not really. But now I can study."

Finally I could catch up on studying.

A/N: My 10 year old cousin gave me the idea for these chapters.
