Day 3: The dreaded doctor
"Bring Bring" went the phone
Yami's eyes immediately opened and he realised two things
a) It was very early and he was the only one awake and
b) He was the only one awake
At first he decided to ignore it but then realized that it might be that crazy old gypsy with some sort of remedy for his body. O.K. the now the phone was in the kitchen so the first thing he had to do was get his thumb out of his mouth it took a little while but he managed to do it. He realised that his child body was still asleep and that it would be a little easier to control. Slowly he lugged himself and his body into the kitchen as the phone was still ringing.
"That better be her or else…" he thought as he fought his way into the kitchen
He finally picked up the phone and answered
"Hello"
"Ah that would be you would it?"
"Listen you had better have a remedy for this or…"
"Relax relax I've done my homework and I've got a remedy it will give you total control of your body but might censor out your speech a little"
"Alright"
"Well here's what you do take 6 ice cubes and at exactly 5:00 am go outside and individually melt each one in you mouth"
"What are you crazy it must be 5 degrees out there!?"
"Do you want your body or not?"
"Oh alright I'll do it"
He put down the phone and looked at the time there were still 15 minutes till 5 so he had better get to work he slowly went into then lounge room and slowly dragged in a chair to put in front of the fridge (I cannot emphasize slowly) and with a little difficulty knocked out 6 ice cubes into a bowl. Then holding the bowl very carefully so as he didn't drop it he went outside and sat down on the ground and began the antagonizing process of melting each one in his mouth and the oncoming winds didn't help. After about the 3rd cube he did begin to feel like a child cold and unprotected but he knew he had to keep going and finally at around what he thought was 6:00am he finished the cubes. He stumbled into the house he found that all the lights were on and Yugi was on the phone looking worried but immediately put his hand on the receiver as Yami stumbled in.
Yugi: Where have you been I have been worried sick!
Yami: I…well…you see
And with those words he collapsed face down on the carpet to tried and out off strength.
***********************************************************************
When yami came to he was on the couch with 3 quilts on tops off him he took these off as he was beginning to sweat and sat up. By doing so he realised that the spell had worked!
Yami: Yes I have my body!
Yugi: What are you babbling about (he came out off the kitchen holding a small medicine kit)
Yami: Yugi you don't understand I…
Yugi: Ok now you just rest don't talk just rest and keep you energy
Yami realized that his voice was probably normal as well but could not do anything about it as a thermometer was shoved into his mouth. He just sat there watching Yugi look through the kit it was as thought he was looking for something but what could it be? Finally he found it it was a small piece of rectangular paper…it was the doctors card (Dum Dum Duuuummmmm).
He watched with absolute dread as Yugi picked up the phone asked the nurse what he should do
Yugi: Yes he has a fever but I worried he might get hypothermia (is that how you spell it?)
More buzzing came from the other end of the line Yugi looked at his wristwatch Yugi: Yeah sure I'll bring him in around half an hours time.
Yami's stomach lurched there was no way he was going to doctors if Yugi wanted him to go he was gonna have to catch him…
***********************************************************************
Yugi looked everywhere but could not find him and yet he was in the most obvious place under his bed. Yami lay down close to the ground and tried to breathe as softly as possible so Yugi would not hear him. Yugi had already caught him once and managed to get him to wear a sweater but that wasn't gonna make him go.
While Yami was too busy looking out through the side of the bed when Yugi snuck up towards the foot and Gently but firmly picked him up. Yami struggled but than gave up Yugi might be the shortest person in the group but as they say "Short people are the strongest in grip". With Yami firmly in his grip he walked out and caught a bus. All the way through the bus Yami looked for a weakness in Yugi's grip but failed to find one as the finally arrived at the doctors clinic.
There was no one in the waiting room so the nurse ushered them into the office and told them the doctor would be with them in 5 minutes. Yami was hoping yugi would put him down on patients table (you know the stretcher like thing) but Yugi held firmly and sat down with him sometimes he thought Yugi cared too much.
Soon the doctor entered and Yami's stomach lurched he had to get out before he was tortured by this lunatic
Doctor Nick: Hi everybody!
Everyone except yami: Hi Doctor Nick!
Doctor Nick: So what seems to be the problem?
Yugi: Well he has a very high fever cause he was out in the cold this morning and I'm afraid he might catch hypothermia
Doctor: Well he looks alright probably just a normal fever just set him down on the table and I'll examine him
Yugi set him down on the patients table and Yami who realised this is probably just a normal check up decided to play along after all what could possibly happen?
The doctor took Yami's temperature and asked him to cough and sneeze and based on this he gave his verdict.
Doctor: Oh no it is terrible, terrible…
Yugi: What?
Doctor: he is fine now but there might be a 0.5% chance that he might catch hypo…hypo…
Yugi: Hypothermia?
Doctor: Yes that's right! Now just let me get his shot ready
While the Doctors back was turned and Yugi was off his guard Yami jumped off the table and ran into the operating theatre, which was connected, to the office.
Yugi: Yami come back here!
Doctor: Don't worry I'll just go in and give him his shot
Yugi: Well good luck
Holding the injection in his hand he wandered in the theatre as there was no one inside he didn't bother turn on the light so he wouldn't surprise the little fellow. In the dark he saw Yami crouched under a blanket (ok he was crouched like this first sit on your knees then crouch down so your face nearly touches the floor) his "back side" was in view and with that Doctor Nick gave a sly grin. He got close enough to Yami and when the time was right he made he jump.
***********************************************************************
As he entered the game shop Yami was still rubbing his butt from where the doctor had injected the antibiotic he had been offered a band aid but we know why he refused. He went inside and started to watch a little TV but began to feel drowsy.
"It must be the injection"
He stumbled to the couch drowsy from sleep he stumbled to the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
