"BIT CLOUD! GET BACK HERE WITH THOSE COOKIES!" Leena yelled chasing after the blond haired boy who was grinning like an idiot. Brad groaned and turned over. It was one of those days where he just didn't feel like gettinng up. CRASH!!! "Ow! You didn't have to hit me with a frying pan! Sheesh!".Especially to chaos. Brad smirked. It seemed that Leena had gotten her cookies back. He rolled out of bed and was headed to the kitchen for breakfast when a sudden wave of dizziness came over him. He leaned against the wall for support and gasped as he felt a small jab of pain in his side. It passed after a few minutes. 'What the heck was that?' he wondered, but he just shrugged it off and continued toward the kitchen."Good morning, Brad!" an overly cheerful Leena said as she offered him a cookie. "Mornin' Leena." He said, taking one and biting into it. "Not bad. No wonder Bit took off with 'em." She grinned at his approval, tossed him another cookie and skipped off to make breakfast. He chukled and began to follow, when he felt dizzy again. He leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. 'What's going on?' He asked himself as he held his head with his hand. At that moment his head began to throb. "Hey you guys! Breakfast is ready!" Leena called from the kitchen. As Bit and Jamie walked by they noticed Brad siiting on the floor holding his head and side. "Hey what's up, Brad?" Jamie asked frowning. "Nothing...." he grumbled. The pain was getting worse. "Come on, let's get somthing to eat then." Bit said not noticing his friend's poor condition. "Are you coming?" Jamie asked. The pain faded. 'Weird...." he thought. "Yeah I guess." he said standing up and continuing towards the kitchen.

As Brad entered the kitchen, he walked over to the table and sat down in his usual chair. "Hey, you want some breakfast?" Leena asked. He shook his head and stared at the table. "Well how about some coffee?" She frowned as he shook his head again and stood up. He felt the pain in his head flare up. Brad put a hand to his head and tried to leave, but a hand grabbing the back of his vest stopped him. He turned to see Leena looking up at him worriedly. "Brad are you okay? You always have coffee in the morning and you haven't eaten in two days!" He tried to assure her that everything was fine and he was just a little dizzy, but his head was pounding and the pain in his side was almost unbearable. She finally let him go after forcing him to take some asprin and go back to bed. "I'm gonna check on you, so you'd better be in bed in five minutes!" she called after him. He gratefully slid under the covers of his warm bed and dozed off. Meanwhile in the kitchen Bit, Jamie and Leena were discussing Brad. Or rather Jamie and Leena did while Bit stuffed his face. "He was really weird this morning," Leena told them, "he didn't want breakfast or coffee!" Their jaws dropped. On most occasions they had to pry Brad away from his coffee. "Okay, now I'm worried...." Bit said who had suddenly stopped eating. "Do you think we should try to get him to a doctor?" Jamie asked worriedly. "Well if he doesn't eat by tomorrow morning, we will take him to one." It was decided.

The next morning, as Jamie knocked on Brad's bedroom door,to tell him it was time for breakfast, he heard a weak "Come in...." before a rough coughing fit. He shoved the door open to find Brad sitting up in bed coughing violently. Jamie raced over and gently patted his back until he had stopped coughing. "Brad, I think you need to see a doctor....." Jamie trailed off as Brad began coughing harder than before. He took a closer look. He gasped. Brad was coughing up blood! "Leena, Bit! Somebody come quick!" he called. The two raced in. "Jamie what's wrong?" Leena asked but stopped when she saw Brad. "Call 911!" Bit yelled and she raced off to the phone. Bit came closer to Brad who had stopped coughing and was staring blankly at the ceiling. "Brad...BRAD, ANSWER ME! Say something......." Brad just closed his eyes and blacked out.
