Robin the Nurse... and Another Meal
Robin had been sitting in the recliner reading over, and over and over again the nutrition facts on the back of the Taco Kingdom bag for about three hours when Starfire woke up. She looked around and seeing Robin said:
"Robin why is it so cold in here?"
"Cold? No it's not cold." Robin replied, not looking up from the Taco Kingdom bag. Suddenly he remembered, Starfire had been asleep, she had just talked to him, so she must be awake! (Duh) He ran over and knelt by her side. He noticed that the air around her was very warm.
"Star, are you okay? I've been waiting for hours for you to wake up!"
"You have? How did I get here? Oh my head hurts. It's so cold in here."
"I have. I don't know how you got here, other than Slade brought you in and thew you against the wall. No its not to cold in here, in fact, the air around you is warmer than the air over there, and you've got a blanket!"
"I feel cold. What is it called when someone feels cold but is really warm?"
"That's called a fever. Fever! You feel cold don't you! The air is warm. Oh man! Oh man! What am I gonna do? I wish Raven was here." Robin said, talking quicker and louder as he went.
"Thermometer, Slade said there was a medicine cabinet, above the sink. Ohman-ohman-what-am-I-gonna-do." Robin mumbled, talking to himself, as he stood up and staggered over to the cabinet. "Aspirin, Tylenol ®, Sudafed ®... Ahh! Eureka! Thermometer!
Robin brought Starfire the thermometer.
"Just stick under you tong until it beeps." Starfire nodded and put it under her tongue. A few moments later: 'beep'. Robin took it out of her mouth. He read the temperature out loud:
"104 degrees F. Not good. Hmm..." Robin said.
He had never played nurse before, when Beast Boy got the chicken pox, Raven and Starfire had always played nurse. Obviously Raven wasn't here now and Starfire was sick. 'Tylenol.' Robin remembered something he had learned from Raven: 'You were supposed to give someone Tylenol when they get a fever. Or was that Aspirin? Oh well it'll give directions on the box.'
So back to the medicine cabinet he went. There it was on the shelf. 'Prescription strength Tylenol ® Use as directed for aches, pains and fevers. One dose every six hours, not to exceed doses by six every twenty- four hours. WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDEREN!
Adult (12 up)---------------2 pills
Children------------------------Ask doctor...
So Robin figured Starfire would get better if she took two pills. So he gave her the pills with a glass of water.
"Robin I have never tasted something so awful in my life! I used the water to get them down, but they taste awful!" Starfire exclaimed weakly. Robin gave her this puzzled look and said:
"Why they don't taste at all, unless, you chewed them didn't you."
"Was I supposed to do it otherwise?" She asked.
"Oh Star. I'm sorry. I didn't tell you, you were supposed to swallow them, whole." Robin apologized. "Well I guess it'll work just as well as swallowing. Just try to rest, and I'll order you a meal."
"Okay. I am hungry. I haven't eaten since well since we had popcorn in the Movie Theater."
"Oh Star. That was two and a half days ago. You must be really hungry." Robin said sympathetically.
So he turned off the light nearest the bed and Starfire shut her eyes. Robin then pressed the button on the table, twice. 'I could do with another meal.' He thought.
As he waited for the food to get there, he tried to make up an excuses for eating six times a day he thought
'I'm almost as short as a hobbit anyway. And playing nurse is hard work. I deserve another meal.'
He let out a little laugh as he thought up more ridicules excuses, I will not mention them all here but some of them were just plain silly:
'I have big feet, so I must need more food' and
'I am board so I must eat.' And 'I haven't grown in years so I must need a lot of food.'
It only took ten minutes, for the food to arrive this time it was from "Grease Castle" in each meal case there was a butter burger, a small order of salt fries and a large coke, also there was condiments for the burgers, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and relish.
To Robin the only thing that was edible was the coke. He knew however that Starfire would eat almost anything so he put his burger, fries and condiments in her bag and held her drink in his hand brought it over to her. He turned on the light.
"Star, I have your food: Two burgers, some fries and lots of mustard."
"Oh glorious! Oh and you let me have yours! You didn't have to do that! I think I would kiss you, but then you might get sick. Thank you!" Starfire said, a grin on her face that could melt a heart of stone, Robin instantly felt guilty that she thought he had given his food to her as a sacrifice, of course he wasn't about to tell her that.
He blushed bright shade of red and quietly want back to the table and sat back down in a chair to enjoy his coke, only he hadn't realized that the people at Grease Castle had watered it down. Nothing worse than watered down coke, unless it's watered down lemon lime soda.
A/N: So not the longest chapter that I've written, but I hope it was interesting. So Starfire is sick, you wanna bet it was the shot Slade gave her, or do you wanna bet she got it some where else. After all Robin got a shot and he isn't sick. Something to think about, but you won't know for sure for a while. So the best thing you can do, is review.
