Dumb Ways to Die is so catchy. Who knew it was about train safety until the end. If I could, I would make a parody of it, but I can't figure out the lyrics. Oh well, I'll do what I do best: this fan fiction. Enjoy the second chapter!

It was 7:00 A.M. and the doctor woke up. He wasn't feeling his best today like other days. He was more tired than usual, felt hot, was shivering, and had a little headache. What was the worse out of all of those was the bellyache he had.

Maybe they were right, I caught it from the Toads…, he thought, but he wanted to fake getting healthy. I won't take a sick day, I'll just get up!

Dr. Toadley tried to sit up, but he winced from the pain in his belly. He moaned and decided to lay down. Birdley saw the trouble Toadley was going through from his cage and felt concerned.

"Birdley should help?" he asked. The doctor looked at Birdley tiredly and shook his head.

"I'm fine, just help me up…" he said sickly. The bird would get out of the cage, but the lock was on the other side. He was too big to squeeze out of it, so he just sat on his stick.

"Oh, right, you can't get out…" he moaned. He did noticed a phone right next to his bed, though. He had to tell them he was sick, or did he? He grabbed the phone and slowly dialed the number. He put the phone close to his ear.

"It's-a me, Mario! Sorry, I'm busy saving-a the princess!"

That was Mario's answering machine. Dr. Toadley quickly hung up and thought about that message. Really? At seven? he thought to himself. He got the phone again and correctly dialed Madz's number.

At Madz's house, the penguin and the Star Sprite were sleeping peacefully. They had dreams that somehow made them feel good. Madz was dreaming of a land filled with sick people, and Starlow was dreaming of a peaceful land filled with stars, grass, and Princess Peach's Castle. Madz was at the part where she saw Fawful sick, until the phone rang.

She woke up and got the phone. "Hello?"

"Madz…I need you to help me get ready," replied the phone. Madz knew it was Dr. Toadley and that he sounded a little different.

"Starlow! Wake up! It's Dr. Toadley!" yelled Madz. Starlow was still sleeping very peacefully until Madz smacked her with one of her pillows. She woke up suddenly and yelled, "Sorry, your Princess is in another castle!"

Madz put the phone on another pillow and they both listened.

"Guys, I'm feeling tired today, can you help me? Of course you will. Now get ready to go to my house,"

"Ummm, you sound different," replied Starlow, "Are you sick?". She said the last three words smugly. Dr. Toadley got nervous and without thought, said, "No, you can come over, bye!". He quickly hung up, and Madz put the phone back.

"We better get over there," said Starlow, "I think he really needs us".

Madz looked at Starlow gladly. "Yes, he could be sick!" she cheered.

"Come on, let's ask Fawful if we can go over there!"

They both flew out the door and went to Fawful in the kitchen. The Beanish was still in his striped blue pajamas and a nightcap with the same design. He was lazily looking at the toaster that had bread in it. Madz pulled on Fawful's pants lightly, so he looked down.

"What is the being of this, Madz?" asked Fawful crankily. She stared into his eyes and smiled with joy.

"Fawful, I want to see Dr. Toadley because he might be sick!" she exclaimed.

He turned his eyes to the toaster again and replied, "Yessing, you can have the going to Dr. Toadley, just after…"

The toaster popped out two slices of cooked bread. A little surprised, Fawful gave Madz the two pieces of toast, since Starlow lacked hands.

"Have the eating of breakfast first," he continued. Madz put one of the slices of toast near Starlow so she could eat it. The Star Sprite happily ate it as they flew out of the Bean 'n Badge.

Later, Birdley was watching Toadley wincing from the pain in his stomach. Birdley tapped on the back of the lock with his feet violently, signaling the doctor to let him free. Dr. Toadley couldn't even get out of his bed, so he buried his face in his pillow.

"Ugh, your giving me a headache…" he complained in a muffled voice due to the pillow blocking the sound. Birdley squawked as he saw the door open bit by bit.

"FYI! FYI! Birdley sees the door opening!"

The doctor lifted his head out of the pillow and looked at the door. He turned over as it opened fully. The door reveled a penguin and a Star Sprite behind it.

"Guys, you're here, ugh…" He moaned as his belly ached even more. It made him forget he was hot! Madz hoped onto the bed and looked at him.

"Doctor Toadley, are you ok?" she asked. The doctor shivered uncontrollably and looked at her.

"Ohhh, ok, fine, I'm sick. Still, I need to get to work. Will you stop me? You certainly won't!"

He tried to sit up, but he winced at the pain in his belly, so he decided to lay down. Starlow chose to go up to him also and observe him. "Wow, you seem to have a little problem there…"

"Little problem? Maybe I'm not sick. Maybe I just feel sick…"

"Yay, Sickie Episode!" Madz was joyfully bouncing on the bed. Starlow had a smug expression on her face.

"I told you so, you got sick after being around those Toads,"

"But what about the clinic?! It will fail," responded Dr. Toadley. Starlow glanced at Madz with a determined expression and said, "Madz, I think I have an idea".

Later at the clinic, the intern worried about the doctor. "He didn't call in sick, maybe he slept in? No, he would never do that! Maybe he's seeing a House marathon or something?"

Madz and Starlow came in, but Madz had a mini version of Dr. Toadley's cloak on. She also wore what covered his mouth, possibly a face mask, or some cloth. When they walked just past the counter, the intern called them.

"Wait! Come over to me,"

Madz walked backwards to the counter, so she was facing sideways from her. Starlow did the same thing, but she flew instead of walked.

"Turn around," she ordered.

They both turned facing her, and the intern knew it was Madz, not Dr. Toadley.

"Ok, what's going on here?!"

Madz's excitement made her admit the truth. "Well, he got sick today, so we visited him and it was amazing!" The intern got angry and started to yell.

"He's sick and you never told me?!" she yelled. Madz and Starlow took a step back. "You have a temper. Do you need some coffee?" asked Starlow

The intern took deep breathes and sighed. "Ok, someone must have caused some part of this. Madz, did any member of your family do this?"

Madz said this part calmly and clearly, "No, we're not that crazy. When have we ever sold weird mushrooms or caused an epidemic?"

"Your father sold mushrooms that caused an epidemic," corrected Starlow.

"Yes, but I gave him the idea. Why do people say he made up that plan?"

The intern assumed no one in her family has caused it and moved on. "Ok, do you know anyone who is rivals with any of the Toads?"

Madz and Starlow thought for a moment and the penguin replied, "Either Bowser, Antasma, or Dr. Mario".

"Bowser isn't that smart, Antasma dislikes Pi'illos and is dead, and it could be Dr. Mario! Madz, you're a genius!"

Starlow really wanted to know what they could do, so she asked, "What can we do to help?" As if on cue, the intern started telling the plan.

"I'll figure out if it's Dr. Mario, and you guys watch Dr. Toadley. Madz, take off the costume, people will think your him,"

"But Madz is too small for people to think…"

Toadette walked in the room and went up to Madz. "Dr. Toadley, my brother has caught the flu, can you help him?" The intern and Starlow glanced at each other, then looked at Toadette.

"Madz, now I know why Team Rocket's disguises always work," Starlow answered.

That's a good chapter. I had to add that last line for humor. If you don't know, in the Pokemon anime, there's a team called Team Rocket. They always have these obvious disguises that make you know it's them, but nobody knows its them. For Madz, it's the same thing, except she's not doing it for evil.

And yes, Dr. Toadley, welcome to Dimentio's world. He got bellyaches all the time because of this one author. I enjoyed it, like I enjoy you getting sick. *laughs sinisterly like Fawful*
