Welcome back, gang. This is a short break between dreams that will only last this chapter. Enjoy.

Some Birthday

Basil opened his and sat up in the nurse's office. He blinked slowly His head was aching. Why? Was it because he was fifteen today? No, it wasn't. He had felt his ukulele pulled from his grip, it must have been Peter who hit him over the head.

Basil stopped blinking. He then stood up and walked towards the door. He opened the door and saw Lee standing there as if he had been about to open the door. They stood there looking at each other for a few seconds. Then Lee spoke.

"How's your head?" Basil felt the back of his head. It was still aching.

"In a lot of pain." Basil walked back to the cot and sat down on it. "How's the RadCircles hunt?"

"Still going, I know it's not Cam." Lee sat down in a chair opposite from the cot. He looked at Basil with a curious look on his face. "So what's the deal with your cousin Peter?" Basil shrugged.

"Nothing new, kills frogs, hits his sister because he likes to, jealous of me because I was our grampa's favorite." Basil lied back down on the cot. He let out a sigh. "You know a jerk."

"I can see why your grampa would have you as a favorite instead of him." Lee looked over to the door and standing there was Tina. She walked over to Basil who had a look of his face that said 'Things are gonna get crowded aren't they?'

"How's your head, Basil?" Basil let out a pained sigh and then looked at the wall.

"I told Lee and now I'll tell you, it's in a lot of pain." Basil kept looking at the wall. Lee and Tina really wished he would look them in the eye. "How long was I out?"

"So far an hour." Basil turned his head to look at Lee. An hour? It was too early to confront Peter during lunch in the cafeteria then.

"Lee, Tina, if either of you see her can you tell Cherie Burlyn to that I'd like to see her later?" Lee and Tina both raised an eyebrow. Was Basil being too lazy to talk to someone?

"Why can't you talk to her?" Basil then looked at Tina. It wasn't obvious?

"Because I'm suddenly deciding against my will to take a nap." And with that Basil slipped back into unconsciousness. Lee and Tina then left the nurse's office, closing the door behind them.
