Chapter 15: Dash Gets Sick.
It was an early winter morning. Violet, who along with Dash was on winter break from school, woke up, yawned and stretched, ready to start a new day. She looked out her window and was surprised to see snow everywhere. She then had the idea to have a snow day with Dash. With Bob and Helen away on an expert mission and Jack-Jack at Kari's, the two kids had the house all to themselves. She quickly climbed out of bed and walked to Dash's room. She opened the door and walked over to her brother's bed. She stopped for a second when she heard him moan.
She then asked, "Are you okay, Dash?" The young Super turned over in his bed with a moan and Violet was shocked to see his face was sweaty and his nose was runny. She walked over and felt his forehead only to quickly pull her hand back, having felt like she had touched a hot pot on a stove.
"Yowch! Dash, you're burning up with fever!" Violet said. Dash looked at her and said,
"I'm so hot. Can you please get me some cold water?" Violet rushed into the kitchen and came back into his room with a glass full of water and a box of tissues. She held the glass to his mouth and watched him down the whole thing. She then set the glass on his nightstand and handed him the box of tissues. Dash cleaned his nose before he blew it. Violet went into the bathroom and came back with a cold washcloth. She laid it over Dash's forehead, making him feel relaxed. He gave her a faint smile which she returned. A while later, Violet attempted to call her parents only to get a voicemail. She tried two more times before she decided to try again later. She then gave Dash orange liquid medicine, which he was hesitant to take due to it's bad taste. After a while, Dash started feeling something in his stomach, something bad.
"Violet, bring me the trash can, quick!" he said in a worried tone. His sister ran to the bathroom and came back with a trash can which she placed by his bed. He bent over it and barfed into it, making Violet cringe. For the rest of the day, Violet stayed by Dash's side, doing and getting whatever he needed. The next morning, after a good night's rest, Dash felt better. He got up out of bed to see Violet, but she wasn't in her bed. Suddenly, Dash's cell phone buzzed. He saw that he got a message from Violet that said, "Look outside." Dash looked out the window and was surprised to see his sister standing by a snowman version of him. He smiled, winked and gave her a thumbs-up, which she gladly returned.
