Cory kissed Topanga's lips one more time before both of them ran under the awning of a coffee shop. Topanga sat on the bench and dumped the water out of her shoes. "My shoes are ruined." Topanga told Cory. "I'm sorry honey." Cory replied. "It's fine, it was worth it for you." Topanga said as she wrapped her arms around Cory's neck and kissed him again.

They sat there on that bench for a while; Topanga laying against Cory's chest while he ran his fingers through her wet hair like a comb. Then at that very moment something appeared, and that something was Riley.

"Riley!" Cory and Topanga yelled. "Yea you two forgot me!" She yelled back. "Sorry honey we just kinda got caught up in the moment." Topanga told her. Riley rolled her eyes and then she sat on the bench next to Cory. "Dad I'm sorry that I said I hated you, I was just frustrated with Maya." Riley told him. "It's ok I know you didn't really mean that." Cory said as he wrapped his arm around her. Topanga sat next to them and Cory wrapped his other arm around her. They all sat there in silence listening to the rain pouring down.

Eventually they went back for Topanga's car and headed home. When they got there, Ava's mom was sitting on the couch. "Whoa what happened?" she asked looking at all of the Matthews. "It's a long story." Topanga replied. She nodded her head and told them that Auggie was upstairs asleep. When she left the apartment Topanga headed upstairs to check on Auggie and Riley went to bed.

Since Cory hadn't eaten all night, he headed towards the fridge to eat something. He pulled out a piece of chocolate cake and began to stuff his face. As he was eating a thought came to him. "When did Topanga make cake?" he looked down at the card stuck to the plate. It read;

Just for you Mr. Matthews… Xoxo Emily.

Cory screamed to the top of his lungs and then dropped his fork. Topanga came rushing down the stairs. "Cory what happened?" She asked. "The note." Was all he could get out. Topanga turned to the card sitting on the floor that Cory was pointing to.

"Oh yea Riley brought this piece of cake home for you that Emily had." Topanga told him. "Topanga, she probably poisoned it!" Cory told her. "You're being ridiculous, now come to bed its late." Topanga said. "Ok but first I'm going to go throw this up." Cory said running out the room. Cory had to get that cake out of his system or else he could die or something.

Cory didn't sleep very well that night. He kept tossing and turning and he felt really strange. "It's all in my head, I'm fine." Cory whispered to himself.


The next morning it was raining again. Topanga was in the kitchen cooking breakfast while Cory was still asleep. Cory rubbed his eyes and glared at the alarm clock sitting on his bedside table. It was a half hour later than he usually woke up. "Oh my god." Cory said as he ran out of bed. As Cory frantically searched for his toothbrush, he began to sneeze. When Topanga heard his sneeze she ran towards their room. "Cory what are you doing awake?" Topanga asked him. "Umm I have a job." He replied as he coughed into his elbow. "Cory you're sick, you're not going to work." She said as she walked into the room. "Topanga I have to! Now could you leave so I can shower." He said. "Ok, do what you want." Topanga said as she exited their room.

As Cory headed towards the kitchen, the smell of pancakes and bacon was making his stomach churn. He sat down and drank some juice to try and calm it but it seemed to make it worse. "Here you go honey." Topanga said as she placed the stack of pancakes in front of him.

"Oh I'm really not hungry this morning." Cory told her. "Oh come on Cory I know you have to be hungry, you haven't eaten anything yesterday." Topanga said. Cory gulped and looked at Topanga. He knew if he didn't eat anything she would make him stay home. So he slowly picked up his fork and ate the pancakes. He ate most of the stack and then leaned back into his chair. "You want seconds?" Topanga asked. "No!" Cory replied as he ran out of the apartment.

When he arrived to his classroom the monitor was standing in the back. He rolled his eyes and then he dropped his briefcase onto the floor and began to teach the class. Riley looked at her dad and could tell that he was not ok today. She raised her hand and said "Dad maybe you should go home you don't look to good." Emily smirked and continued to file her nails. "Honey I'm fine." Cory said to Riley. "Well then I'm gonna go get the nurse." Riley said as she began to get up from her seat. Emily pulled her back down and said "you're gonna want to be here for this." Riley did as she said and sat back down.

"Ok class today we are learning about the black plague." Cory said as he wrote it on the board. "Don't you mean the plank?" Emily said. Cory took a deep breath and explained that the plank is something on a pirate ship and the plague is a deadly disease. "I still think it's the plank." Emily told him. Cory felt too bad to even argue with her. Cory could feel his stomach rumbling and his breakfast coming up. He bit his lip and held his stomach trying to control it. "The shows about to start." Emily whispered to herself. Cory turned to the class looking slightly green. "Is he gonna." Riley said. "I think so." Farkle replied. Cory held his stomach as his breakfast made a reappearance all over the classroom floor. "He has the plank, everybody run!" Emily called out. Everybody ran out of the room screaming like crazy, except for Emily. "You might have won Topanga back but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna make your life miserable. Have fun spewing your guts out for the rest of the day." Emily said as she ran out of the room. Cory moaned and then he dodged towards the trash can.

He called Topanga to tell her to come and get him and of course she scolded him for being stubborn and not staying home but she said she would come pick him up. Cory really didn't know how he was sick, just yesterday he felt fine.

Topanga rushed inside of the classroom to find Cory lying on the floor with his head up against his desk. Topanga held her nose and crept over to Cory. "What's that smell?" Topanga asked. "My vomit." Cory moaned. Topanga helped Cory up and they headed out of the school.

When they arrived at the apartment Cory rushed towards the bathroom. Topanga could hear Cory throwing up all the way downstairs.

An hour later Cory came back into to the living room to see Topanga sitting on the couch. Cory came over to the couch and he laid his head on her lap. Topanga ran her hand through his curls and she told him that she called the doctor. "They said that your sneezing and coughing is probably a cold you got from sitting out in the rain and your vomiting is probably caused by food poisoning." Topanga told him. Cory was way too exhausted to tell her that Emily poisoned him. He exhaled slowly and tried to sleep. All he could think about was; what happened to Maya.
