-Sick and Depression-
"Now today for test 4 we are gonna help out around the store" Nick said
("I hope Connie and Cory don't have to pay for major damage") Andy and Cecil thought
They entered the store and saw Cory working the Ice cream machine and Cynthia working the register but no Connie in sight!
The boys were confused. Connie never missed a day at work. Cecil approached Cory.
"Heya Cecil!" Cory bellowed cheerfully
"Hello Cory"
"Where's Connie?" Nick asked
Cory frowned "Sick, in bed at home"
Nick frowned and pressed his finger to his forehead in thought
"Um Cory?"
"Yes Andy"
"Does Connie like dark chocolate?"
"She hates it" Cory said bluntly
Andy turned green
"OKAY!" Nick boomed
"Let's all go make Connie better!"
They all ran out except for Cecil
"I'm very sorry for my friends behavior" He bowed
"Think nothing of it. I know those two well enough" Cory grinned
"Thanks. Bye Cory" He turned to leave but stopped "Hey. Can I have one of those?"
Connie's house…
"Wow 108 degree's" Connie glared at the thermometer
"I hate being sick" Connie flopped on the pillow she had just taken some nasty medicine and was starting to get tired
"Connie!" Nick slammed open the door
Connie jolted from her pillow
"I brought you some pumpkin soup and I'm going to be helping out at the store! Get better soon!" Nick placed the soup on the table and bolted out
"…"
"*Sigh* This is going to be a long day"
She picked up the bowl and sipped a spoonful and spit it out, it tasted like salt.
"Yuk" Connie threw the rest of the soup out the window and placed the bowl in the sink
"*Yawn* I'm sleepy" She laid back down on her pillow
"Connie!" Andy opened the door and Connie bolted up again.
"I brought you some soup and medicine" he placed them on the bedside table like Nick "And I'm gonna help at the store" Andy turned to leave but stopped "Nice pjay's by the way"
Connie squeaked and covered herself with her blanket and glared at the door as he left
"That kid's like an old man"
She picked up the medicine "…Andy this is for stomachaches" she had a cold
She put it down and picked up the soup
"Onion soup" She hated onion soup, She took a small sip anyway. She tasted more onion in just one sip.
She spat it out the window and threw the rest out as well
She yawned and laid back down on her pillow
She began counting " 5" her eyes began to droop " 10" She yawned "11 12 13 14 15" her eyes drooped to small slits "16…17….18…19….twenee" She fell asleep
A soft knock echoed through the room "connie?"
Cecil opened the door and smiled when he saw her asleep. He put the brown bag on the floor and touched her forehead. She was really warm.
Not wanting to wake her up. He carefully placed the bag on the table and took out some stationary:
Dear Connie,
I found out you weren't feeling well and Nick n' Andy's soups probably didn't help. I bought some cold medicine, ice packs, tissues, orange juice, ice cream (can't all be good for you) and got Cory to make your favorite soup. Get well soon.
I love you, Cecil
P.s. I'll make sure they don't complete destroy your store
He placed the note under the back and tip toed over to her
"Get well soon" He breathed and kissed her cheek
Connie smiled in her sleep. Cecil couldn't help but, smile too.
He tip toed out
Hours later…
Connie rose from the bed and stretched out her still sleeping muscles, She noticed a brown bag sitting on her table.
"I wonder who left this?" She opened it and found medicine, ice packs, tissues, orange juice, and slightly melted ice cream.
"I wonder who left this" She tapped her chin in thought
"couldn't be Nick or Andy, I don't think Cory or Cynthia would do something like this and Cecil usually leaves a note"
Connie didn't notice her hand was on the note.
Connie felt a little sad. It was bad enough she couldn't come out and say Cecil was her fiancee and now she felt even worse if he didn't come see her while she was sick
When was the last time he even said he loved me she thought. The thought brought instant sadness washing over her like a bucket of cold water.
"…"
"I better go make sure nothing bad happened at the store" Connie dressed in her usual attar as she walked out a grey cloud seemed to float above her head
The Store…
When Connie walked in everything seem normal, not a thing out of place except that Cynthia was at the register but something seemed off about her
"What happened to you?"
Cynthia's face slowly looked at her "Those two happened"
"What exactly happened?"
"full explanation or short version?"
"Full please"
Cynthia cleared her throat "It all started when those ran in saying 'let us help' and Cory being the nice boy he is let them but it was a DISASTER! They dropped eggs, milk, butter, and dropped the flour on me! Then when we let them work with the customer it was an even bigger disaster! They did the eggs wrong, They used the wrong dye, doodled on them, gave it the wrong color and somehow managed to get either egg OR dye on the customers! We put them in charge of Milkshake's they can't operate a blender to save their lives, they left huge chunks, and used the wrong vegetables! and they either made the ice cream too big or too small! and the final disaster is they managed to OVERFLOW THE ICE CREAM! IT WAS EVERY WHERE! If it wasn't for Cecil we wouldn't be able to open those doors ever again! *huff* *huff* *huff*"
All that happened while I was asleep? ! Connie thought shocked
"What's going on anyway?" Cynthia asked
"Their still in that contest"
"ah…wait their still doing that? It's been a week I thought they'd give up by now"
"Well they haven't"
"who's winning?"
"I don't know" Connie sounded kinda sad Cynthia noted
"Is something wrong?"
"no. I'm still just a little sick. I'm going back home. I'll see you tomorrow"
"hmmmm" Cynthia thought
Not too long until I'm done with this
