House of Fevers:

Joy was in shock to see Fabian's uncle. Fabian walked up to his uncle a gave him a hug.

"Uncle Ade," said Fabian.

"Fabian my boy it's so good to see you," said Ade.

"Are you all right? Asked Fabian.

"Yes, I'm fine, said Ade.

"But what are you doing here? Asked Fabian.

"I called your house, but no one answered. So I thought you must be at school, said Ade.

"What's the matter uncle Ade?" Asked Fabian.

"I'll leave you alone," said Joy.

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me, You were talking to..," said Ade, not know Joy's name.

"Joy," said Joy.

"Joy, what a lovely name. Sorry to interrupt your conversation," said Ade.

"Thank you for the compliment and that doesn't matter, we'll finish it another time," said Joy.

Joy walked away nervously and Fabian and his uncle watched her walk away.

"What a peculiar girl," said Ade.

"She hasn't been doing very well lately," said Fabian. "But what are you doing here?"

"Yes, my domino game, The Way of Amneris, I've a buyer," said Ade.

"Really?" Asked Fabian.

"Yes," said Ade.

"Well, I've finished studying it, so I can bring it by tomorrow," said Fabian.

"That's good Fabian," said Ade.

The bell rang and the students went to their classes.

"I've to go," said Fabian.

"Go on, feed your mind my young nephew," said Ade.

Ade gave Fabian a hug and walked off to after. In the meantime, Joy had gone to the girls' bathroom and splashed her face with water. Joy thought back to what Omar said to her. Joy looked at herself in the mirror and dried her face. Joy took a deep breath and walked out of the restroom.


In the meantime in the house. Trudy was packing a bag with laundry snacks for der brother's birthday. Victor Jr. walked into the kitchen.

"Victor," said Trudy.

"Trudy," said Victor jr.

"Everything all right?" Asked Trudy.

"Everything's perfectly fine," said Victor jr.

Victor Jr. took a step toward and then he fell down on the floor. Trudy looked at the unconscious body of Victor Jr. with a startled expression.


Back at school. Mara and KT were sitting in the drama room. KT grabbed her notebook and took out a sheet and handed it to Mara.

"What's this?" Asked Mara.

"My drawing for the school paper," said KT.

"Wow this is the school, This is really beautiful, said Mara, as she looked at KT's drawing.

"You really think so?" Asked KT.

"Yes, I'll make sure this will get saved right away," said Mara.

"I'm happy my art is apricated," said KT.

KT flipped through notebook and stopped on the page with Aaron's drawing and started blushing.

"What's the deal with you guys, anyway? Asked Mara, as she saw KT staring at the drawing.

"What are you talking about? Asked KT

"Aaron, of course," said Mara.

"Why are you talking about him?" Asked KT nervously.

"Because you looked at that drawing you made of him and you started blushing," said Mara.

"Did I really do that?" Asked KT.

"Yes," said Mara." And why don't you just tell him you like him?"

"I don't know," said KT.

"Come on KT, you already know the answer, you're just afraid," said Mara.

"It's just... Every time I see Aaron, I don't know what to do anymore. I really like him a lot, but then I'm afraid that he only thinks I'm nice and nothing more than that," said KT.

"Is that what you think?" Asked Mara.

"Yes. I mean Aaron is popular with the girls," said KT. "So why would he be interested in me?"

"Okay, it's true that a lot of girls here are attracted to Aaron. But Aaron is not a player, he's not even aware of the attention he's getting from the girls," said Mara.

"Really?" Asked KT.

"Yeah, he's really that oblivious," said Mara.

"So you really think I should go for it?" Asked KT.

"Yeah, be bold and make a move," said Mara.

Jerome walked into the drama room and sat down with Mara and KT.

"I've good news," said Jerome.

"What is it?" Asked Mara.

"Trudy is going to her brother's birthday and won't be back until tomorrow," said Jerome.

"That's perfect, Then we can invite the candidates," said Mara.

"I was thinking the same thing, so I just e-mailed them all to come to our house at 8:00 pm," said Jerome.

"But Victor is never going to agree to that," said KT.

"Yeah, KT's right about that," said Mara.

"Then we'll just do it in the garden and make sure they don't come into the house. Then there will be no problem," said Jerome.

"Yeah, then there aren't any problems and Victor won't be bothered," said Mara.

"That's what I'm saying," said Jerome.

"Come on, let's make some preparations," said Mara.

Mara and Jerome left the drama room. Mara's words made KT think, maybe she should make a move towards Aaron letting him know what she feels for him.

In the meantime. Joy was in the hallway leaning against her locker. Joy was deep in thought that she didn't notice Otis walking up to her.

"Hey," said Otis.

"Uh, what?" Said a confused Joy.

"I said hey," said Otis.

"Oh, hi Otis," said Joy.

"How are you doing?" Asked Otis.

"Yeah, I just had a thought, said Joy.

"Was it a happy thought? Asked Otis.

"Honestly I wish I could think of something else, said Joy.

"Speaking of thinking, have you thought of anything for your article for the paper? Asked Otis.

"No, I haven't thought of anything, said Joy.

"Oh, do you think you're going to come up with something soon?" Asked Otis.

"Sorry, I had other things on my mind," said Joy.

"Are you sure you're okay, Joy?" Asked Otis.

"I already told you so," said Joy.

"I know you did," said Otis.

"Then why are you asking again?" Asked Joy, as she walked away angry, leaving Otis behind.

At the same time. Fabian walked Alfie down the hallway and had to make sure Alfie didn't bump into anything. Fabian put Alfie in front of the trophy case and walked over to Nina.

"Hey Nina," said Fabian.

"Hi," said Nina.

"My uncle probably has a buyer for the dominoes, so will you return them to me this afternoon," said Fabian.

"Yeah, sure," said Nina.

"Thanks," said Fabian.

"You've the bottle and the chest with you now, right? Asked Nina.

"Yeah, why?" Asked Fabian.

"I was thinking, why don't we just do it here at school this afternoon?" Suggested Nina. "No Victor."

"That's a good idea. And then we'll just look for an empty classroom or something," said Fabian.

Nina nodded her head. Fabian gave Nina a quick kiss and walked away. Nina heard Alfie and walked over to him and saw that he was feeling around him. Alfie felt the faces of a group of girls and one of the girls slapped him in the face and angrily walked away with her friends.

"Where is my locker!" Shouted Alfie.

"This way," said Nina.

Nina grabbed Alfie's arm and guided him towards his locker. Nina opened Alfie's locker for him.

"Why don't you take off those sunglasses," said Nina.

Nina took the sunglasses off Alfie's head and started laughing when she saw the mini sunglasses that Alfie was wearing.


Back at the house. Victor Jr. was lying on the couch having a nightmare about his father. Victor Jr. startled awake and wanted to get up, at that moment Trudy entered the living room.

"Victor what are you doing up? No, you've to lie down," said Trudy.

"I'm not lying down, I'm going to the cellar, I've things to do," said Victor jr.

"No, What did the doctor say?" Asked Trudy

"What does a foolish guy like him know anyway," said Victor jr.

"You've to rest and what the doctor says has to be done," said Trudy.

Victor Jr. actually wanted to say something, but before he could even say a word, he fell asleep again. Trudy put the blanket over Victor Jr.

"He is so sweet when he sleeps," said Trudy.


A few moments later at school. The club minus Fabian was in the drama room. Nina had told the rest of the club about the plan to empty the bottle at school.

"I don't know about this," said Patricia.

"Fabian knows what he's doing," said Nina.

"Shh!" Said Amber, as she saw Joy heading towards them.

Joy walked over to the rest of the club.

"Hi, what's up?" Asked Joy.

"We're good," said Nina.

"Afraid you'll be recognized," joked Joy, as she noticed that Alfie was wearing sunglasses

"I'm sorry, we were in the middle of something private, so if you don't mind, just leave us alone," said Amber.

"Okay, sorry to bother you," said Joy.

Joy walked over seat not far from where the club was sitting and sat down. Fabian walked into the room and headed towards the club.

"Hey," said Nina.

"Guys, the chemistry room is empty," said Fabian.

"Really?" Asked Aaron

"Yeah, come on," said Fabian.

"We're coming," said Nina.

"What did you say?" Asked Alfie.

"Oh great, not only is he blind, he's deaf as well," said Aaron.

Aaron pulled Alfie out of his chair and followed the club to the chemistry room. Joy waited until the club had left and then got up to chase them. But before Joy could leave the room, she ran into Otis.

"What are you following me or something?" Asked Joy.

"I'm not following you," said Otis.

"Then why are you here?" Asked Joy.

"What's up with you?" Asked Otis.

"Nothing it up with me," said Joy.

"Yeah, and that's why you're acting so weird," said Otis.

"I'm just bummed because I don't have an idea for my article yet," lied Joy.

"Is that it?" Asked Otis.

"Yeah, that's it," said Joy.

"Nothing else really? Is it about the money?" Asked Otis.

"No, it's not. Just leave it," said Joy.

"It really was an inheritance, right?" Asked Otis.

"I told you," said Joy. "I've got to go."

Joy gave Otis a kiss on the cheek and walked away.

Back into the house. Trudy was busy measuring Victor Jr. temperature.

"Oh 38.4 ℃," said Trudy.

"That's because of all those blankets, I can't even move," said Victor jr.

"Move? You shouldn't move, you should stay down," said Trudy.

"I'm going to get up," said Victor jr.

"No, you're not getting up, over my dead body," said Trudy.

"Then call a hearse, I'm going to the cellar, I've got things to do," said Victor jr.

"You stay down and you don't get up Victor," said Trudy.

Trudy sat on top of Victor Jr. so that he couldn't move. Victor jr. surrendered and went back to sleep.


Back at the school. The club was in the chemistry room and were preparing. Amber was standing guard at the door and was bored.

"Why can't Alfie be the lookout?" Asked Amber.

"Really, Amber? Alfie the lookout, in his condition," said Aaron.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," said Amber, realizing that Alfie was still blind.

"I'd be happy if I were you," said Alfie.

"How's that?" Asked Amber.

"Well you're standing nice and far away from the mini house and then if it blows up you'll be alive and we'll be dead," joked Alfie.

"Trust me, nothing's gonna blow up here," said Fabian.

"Amber," said Nina.

"Yeah," said Amber.

"Give me a shout if anyone comes," said Nina.

"Okay," said Amber.

Fabian took the cap off the bottle and poured it down the chimney. And just like last time, smoke came out of the chimney and a few seconds later there was a clicking sound and the roof popped open.

"What's happening?" Asked Amber.

"The roof popped open, just like last time," said Fabian.

"What is happening now?" Asked Amber.

"A giant claw is coming out!" Yelled Alfie.

"Really! Run for your lives!" Shouted Amber.

"No, there's no claw coming out at all," said Aaron.

Fabian opened the roof and looked into the mini-house. Fabian grabbed the new clue from the house. Amber left her post and walked towards the club.

"That's our clock," said Aaron.

"What clock?" Asked Alfie.

"That's the clock in the hall," said Patricia.

"Oh, that clock," said Alfie.

"This is the next clue," said Fabian.

"The next task," said Nina.

"What task?" Asked a familiar voice.

The club turned and saw Joy standing in the doorway.


Back in the house. Victor Jr. had another nightmare about his father and when he woke up he saw Mr. Sweet standing in front of him.

"Is this a dream?" Asked Victor jr.

"No, my friend, this is the real thing. And fear no more my dear friend, help has arrived," said Mr. Sweet.

"Help? What kind of help?" Asked Victor jr.

"When Trudy told me in what bad shape...," said Mr. Sweet, but he got interrupted by Victor jr.

"Bad shape? I feel fine," said Victor jr.

"I came straight away," said Mr. Sweet

"That's great. But you can go," said Victor jr.

"Take it easy, amica. I'll keep watch over you from now on. I'm just gonna stay here tonight," said Mr. Sweet.

"Yes, that's sweet of Mr. Sweet," said Trudy.

"Sweet as a wasp, said a grumpy Victor jr.

"Trudy, you can go to your brother's and I'll take over your duties," said Mr. Sweet.

"Thank you Mr. Sweet," said Trudy.

Trudy packed her bag and left the house. Mr. Sweet picked up a thick book and began to read to Victor Jr.


In the meantime at school. Joy walked into the chemistry room and saw the mini house.

"Is that our house?" Asked Joy.

The club quickly try to hide the mini house by standing in front of it.

"Uh we don't know that yet," lied Fabian.

"We're busy with something," said Aaron.

"Something private," said Amber.

"Where'd you get that?" Asked Joy.

"I said something private, said Amber. Can't you knock in the future," said Amber.

"I saw you guys walk in," said Joy.

"Oh yeah, and then you walk in on us like that," said Amber.

"Yes, because I wanted to ask you something," said Joy.

"Say what you want to say," said Aaron.

"I know I've been a little harsh lately," said Joy.

"A little?" Responded Amber, knowing how harsh Joy's behavior was lately.

"It didn't go all too well between me and Otis and I couldn't think of anything else and I'm sorry, really. And I know it was never official, but I was hoping to join the club," said Joy.

The club looked at Joy with puzzled faces. Amber's jaw dropped.

How will the club react to this? Will Joy get into the club?
