A/N: I'm feeling sick. :p Yeah, so I was thinking between Advils and Gatorade, why not torture the Tallest with a sickness? And so this random one shot began! It takes place after the events in Chapter 5, but you can read this one by itself and it'll still make sense. I hope. Enjoy!~

Chapter 6: I Feel Sick

Another normal day on the Massive. The technicians were hard at work and the Tallest...were nowhere to be seen. This fact dawned on a few of the technicians, and some of them went back to work. Others ran into the kitchen in attempt to steal the Tallest's snacks. The technician's lives aside, a sneeze echoed around the Massive. It's source came from Tallest Red, who was sitting in his chambers.

"This is your fault Purple." He grumbled nasally. Purple shrugged his shoulders and passed his friend another tissue.

"Hey, it's not my fault toxic doughnut mold landed on your lap." He reasoned. The crimson Tallest blinked.

"Yes it was stupid, you knocked the table." He hissed. It didn't sound as threatening as he wanted it to be, a blocked vocal cord didn't really help. The violet Tallest laughed.

"You sound funny." He giggled.

"No duh! I'm sick!" Red snapped before grabbing a tissue and spitting out some mucus into the sheet and throwing it hopefully in the direction of the garbage incinerator.

"You missed." Purple pointed out, a smile still planted on his face. The vermillion eyed Irken narrowed his eyes and spit once again into another tissue. Red had been doing this for three hours, in attempt to get rid of some of the congestion pain. He always seemed to miss the incinerator too. The scarlet Tallest raised his tissue filled hand, and threw it as his lavender co-Tallest. "Ew!" Purple squealed as he quickly brushed off the tissue. "Now I'm going to be sick." The cherry colored Tallest snorted.

"Yeah, as if eating the mold isn't going to make you sick." He mumbled. The lilac Irken's eyes lit up and he rushed out of the room. "You won't believe what I found Red! More ways to get us killed!" Red mimicked as he grabbed another tissue. Purple came back into the room with a small box.

"You remember..." He began.

"ADVIL!" The brick colored Irken screamed as he tackled his friend to the ground. There seemed to be a rabid look in his eyes as he tried to claw the pills from Purple's grip. "MINE!"

"Red! Calm down!" The plum colored Irken leader screamed in fear. He managed to worm his way out from Red's grip and began hovering for dear life. He still had the box of precious pills in his talons. He glanced behind him and the cardinal Tallest was close behind him, moving like a crazed animal, tongue hanging out and a feverish look in his eyes. Purple let out a squeal and hovered into a nearby closet. He screamed multiple times, which really didn't help in trying to stay hidden. Red obviously found him.

"GIVE ME THE ADVIL PURPLE!" He roared. Purple hovered higher upward in attempts to get away. This failed, and he just ended up hitting his head on the ceiling.

As the last of the stars, planets, and doughnuts disappeared from Purple's vision he noticed that the Advil had disappeared. There was a blur of red, and the violet Irken leader quickly stood up and followed it. Red turned around as soon as he noticed his friend was following him.

"Oh, Hey Pur. I'm just cleaning up this mess someone made. I have no clue who." The maroon Tallest explained as he pointed to the trail leading from Red's chamber to the closet Purple was hiding in. "Anyhow, on a better note I'm feeling better. I think it was the Advil." Purple let out a small cat-like sneeze. "Aw...Are you sick now?" Red asked.

"No." The periwinkle Tallest rasped as he spit out some mucus on the floor. The claret Tallest sifted through his pockets.

"Yes you are here." He offered as he pulled out a familiar looking box. "Have some..."

"ADVIL!"

A/N: That is how I feel about Advil. It's awesome. I didn't know how to explain Red sounding sick, considering that Irkens have no noses. So I just blamed the vocal cords. :p That's it for now. I'll be back around Christmas, so you can watch out for me then. Please tell me what you thought of this!
