"Deadly, you alright?" Marcie asked the mischievous blue skinned and scaled male.
"Ueah, I think so, don't worry Matcie." Deadly said sneezing and sounding sniffly.
Marcie remembered last week, when she'd had a bad cold, and Deadly had been there helping her feel better, guessing he must have caught her cold making her feel bad for him, since they were good friends and she cared about him.
Maybe Dudley can help him, as he is his brother after all so maybe he'll listen to Dudley.
He then saw it was becoming late, knowing Marcie's mom would freak, if she wasn't back soon hugging her, but ge wad beginning to feel not so good, making Marcie worry, knowing when she went to the studio, she had to tellDudley using the portal to get home.
After getting home, she was grabbing her art stuff to take with her to the studio, so she wouldn't get bored and she had to tell Dudley, that Deadly wasn't feeling good going there as soon, as she and her mom got there.
Dudley was happy seeing her here, as she liked helping him, wondering what bothered the young girl, since they were friends.
"Deadly's sick, and it's my fault, I think he caught my cold." Marcie told him, making Dudley get it hugging her.
"It wasn't your fault Marcie, as I told him it was a bad idea to be around you, when you were sick." Dudley assured her.
He knew that Deadly needed them, plus Piggy was alright now after making her look pretty for national TV, so had to go help his twin brother seeing Marcie open the portal as they went through appearing in Deadly's manor hearing whimpers making both Dudley and Marcie exchange a worried look, seeing Deadly out of it, trying to make a potion.
"I don't think that's such a good idea, Deadly, especially when sick." Dudley said, taking the vial.
He could feel that Deadly was red hot, despite the fact he and Deadly were dragons, and that a fever was beginning meaning he was coming down with a bad cold seeing Deadly woozy and about to fall but Dudley caught him gently.
"We should get him into bed, and put something on his head, to bring that fever down." Dudley heard Marcie say.
Dudley agreed leading the way to his brother's room, seeing his things everywhere plus a certain family portrait from their family castle in the Labyrinth, seeing Marcie look at it curious wondering who the man with them was, making Dudley sigh.
"That was our father, the previous Goblin King who adopted us, and raised us, but when he passed away, it hit us hard, but Deadly is still recovering while my friends helped me get over it so good that Deadly met you." Dudley expkained softly.
"I'm sorry, about asking that, I was just curious." Marcie said.
"It's alright, you were bound to know sooner or later, but Deadly is going to need a doctor." Dudley said.
Marcie nodded in reply knowing right now, Deadly needed her to help, which was what friends did.
Later the next day in school, Marcie was sleepy, from being with Deadly all night, but she was keeping that a secret from her mom, but Cherry her best friend knew because she had met Deadly, finding him awesome, along with the fact that Marcie had befriended him, wondering if why Marcie was tired was because of that, poking her shoulder gently.
"I'm up, I'm up!" she said, making the clasd laugh, at her outburst but it was lunch time so she could tell Cherry what had happened without anybody hearing, because Deadly didn't need any unwanted intruders.
"You were probably hanging out, with a certain phantom, right?" Cherry asked, seeing Marcie nod.
"Yes, but he's sick, with the bad cold I had last week, so Dudley, who,is his twin brother and me were helping him, but right now he's in bed, or he was, I hope nobody tries to bug him today." Marcie said.
"Isn't Deadly magical, so he can use his magic, to protect him?" Cherry asked drinking soda.
"When sick, his magic is pretty weak, but Dudley is keeping an eye on him." Marcie replied.
She would take an nap in study hall, since that place was boring and a good place to sleep, making Cherry grin at her best friend so hoped Deadly was alright in his manor, guessing Marcie would go there later, after homework since she got good grades.
After going home and doing her homework, Marcie was working on an art project that a certain phantom had inspired, knowing she kept her friendship with Deadly a secret except for telling Cherry, because her friend had met Deadly.
Later that night, when at the studio, she was with Dudley, but they were going to a certain manor since Deadly could use some company, seeing Marcie agree, opening the portal and going through appearing in a certain manor hearing sneezing echoing through the place making Marcie guess that Deadly had gotten out of bed, making Dudley grin.
"When Deadly and I were kids and were sick, we snuck out of bed, but our dad would put us back into bed, explaining we needed to rest, to get better." Dudley explained making her grin because it was cute. which was seeming to calm
She saw Deadly up, but sick making Dudley and Marcie worry, getting him to get back in bed, hearing him cough a lot.
"It's alright, as it's like when we were little." Dudley said seeing Deadly nod feeling icky.
"But dad's not here, like then." Deadly said, taking medicine, seeing Marcie get him water but could hear Dudley telling a story to Deadly which seemed to be calming the phantom down, making her relieved handing Deadly the cup.
"Thank you, as my throat hurts, like really hurts." Deadly said drinking up.
"That's why you can't keep getting out of bed, since you need rest, medicine and fluids to feel better." Dudley said.
