"Are you okay?" Zane asked, "Did you hit any trees on your way down?"

"No. I'm fine," Kai assured him.

"What happened?" Jay asked.

"I guess I accidentally lost my balance," Kai replied casually.

"How did you manage to do that?" Jay asked, "You've never done it before. And besides, dragons are HUGE! It's not like it's tricky to stay on top of them."

Kai was about to give another excuse when he felt another sneeze coming on. He quickly turned his head and covered his mouth, despite still having his mask on. "A-CHOO! Excuse me."

He turned to face the others again, and his heart sank a bit. Jay's thoughtful expression told Kai that Jay was starting to piece together what was going on.

"Kai, are you feeling okay?" Jay asked, "You're acting like Cole did when he first caught his cold."

"What do you mean?" Kai asked, trying to keep a low profile.

"You've ben sneezing more than usual. Only slightly, but still more than usual. And you're having trouble doing physical activities. Zane and I both saw you struggle with your sword earlier. Now you can't even stay on top of your dragon." said Jay.

Kai sighed. He was out of excuses.

"I think, Kai, you should tell Jay the truth." said Zane.

Kai sighed. Now there really was no escape. It was probably best at this point not to make Jay mad.

"I…may have picked up Cole's cold," he admitted.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jay asked, "You shouldn't have been out here today."

"Because, I hate staying in bed." Kai replied defensively, taking out Nya's bracelet, "Especially when people need me. This bracelet means the world to Nya. I couldn't just lie around knowing it was lost. Nya's my sister."

Jay stared at Kai for a moment. It occurred to Kai that as Nya's boyfriend, he probably felt the same way.

"I get what you're saying," said Jay finally, "I probably would have done the same thing."

"Take the bracelet back to Nya you two," Zane said, "I'll handle bringing the bandits to justice."

Kai nodded and saw Jay to the same.

"Feel better my friend," said Zane before remounting his dragon and flying off.

Kai was about to climb back onto his dragon when Jay stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"You're riding with me. We need to make sure you don't fall off again," he said.

Kai shrugged. It didn't really matter to him. They needed to get back to the dojo.

The two soon arrived home and headed inside.

"Okay Kai, give me the bracelet so I can give it to Nya. Then go lie down and get some rest," said Jay.

"Woah! Who said anything about that?" said Kai.

"I did just now," said Jay firmly, "Kai, you're sick. You need to stay in bed until this blows over."

"Not happening!" Kai said stubbornly.

"Why not? We got the bracelet back!" Jay exclaimed.

"I told you, I hate staying in bed," Kai argued

"But you need it!" Jay said sharply.

"What is goidg od out here?" came a stuffed up voice.

Kai turned to see Cole standing in the doorway of his room.

"What are you doing up?" Jay asked, sounding concerned.

"You try to rest whed everybody's shoutidg outside you roob," Cole said, "What are you two arguidg about?"

"Kai caught your cold. I'm trying to convince him to rest," said Jay.

"I'm not that bad, Jay. I don't need to stay in bed," Kai said, his anger boiling.

"Stop it both of you. Jay, I'll haddle this. Thed I'll go back to bed." said Cole.

Jay nodded, "Okay."

Kai sighed and reluctantly gave Jay the bracelet. Jay headed towards the guest room where Nya was staying.

Cole sat down and motioned Kai to do the same.

"Be hodest with be, Kai," he said, "Why dod't you wadt to do what you doe you deed to?"

"I hate staying in bed," said Kai, "It's boring! And people might need me while I'm there."

"Dobody Like stayidg id bed, Kai. You thidk I've beed happy stayidg id by roob all day dowing that you three were out fightidg badits?" Cole asked.

"Then why are you doing it, not that I want you to strain yourself," said Kai.

"That the adswer right there. I'd just worry everybody if I didd't. Add eved if I was out there, I wouldd't be able to help buch. I bay have just bade thodgs worse. You were lucky."

Kai frowned. He hadn't thought of that.

"It's dot like this is forever," Cole continued, "It'll just be a few day add both of us will be back as didjas. But udtil thed we deed to rest."

Kai nodded, "I guess you're right. Fine, I'll stay in bed until the worst of this blows over. Hows your cold by the way. Your sounding really stuffed up."

"By fevers dowd but….AHT-CHOO! AHT-CHOO! AAHT-CHOOOO!" Cole banged his head on the table. With the last sneeze.

He moaned in pain cluctching where he hit the table, "Excuse be…That's adother good reasod to stay id bed…Pillows are soft thed tables."
