Psychic Flu

*Vibes and Sally are on a patrol*

Vibes: We don't do this together enough.

Sal (deadpan): Stop you'll make me blush.

Vibes: Seriously when was the last time we...we... AAACHOOO!

*Sal raises an eyebrow*

Sal: Bless you.

Vibes: Thank you.

*They keep patrolling. Vibes sniffs again*

Sal: Are you ok?

Vibes: I'm fimb...Just a..a...a...AAAACHOO!

Sal: You really need to get some tissues in that costume.

Van: *sees them approaching* hey guys

*Vibes and Sal smile*

Sal: Hi Van!

Vibes: H...H... AAAACHOO!

*Van dodges her massive sneeze*

Van: Ew.

Vibes: I'm fine it's just a cold.

Van: You should go home Vibes.

Sal: That's what I said?

Vibes: I said I'm...I'm HONK!

Sal: You're what?

Vibes: HONK!

Van: ok.....

*Sal sighs*

Sal: At the risk of sounding like a nag...

Vibes: Too late...

Sal: Go home, you're ill.

Vibes: I'm telling you I'm fine, it's just a slight sniffle.

Van: That causes you to make a noise like a goose crossed with a donkey.

*Vibes looks up and sees Caramel Girl*

Vibes: I'll sort Caramel Girl and then I can go home for a nap.

Sal: Vibes I don't think you should...

Vibes: SPEED MODE!

*As Vibes tries to run her legs turn into stone and she falls over*

Vibes: What the...?

Van: you ok V?

*Vibes tries but can't lift herself up*

Vibes: Ugh...

*She shuts her eyes*

Vibes: Got...to..focus...HONK!

*As she tries to focus her nose turns into an elephant truck*

Vibes: You've got to be kidding!

Van: *runs over to Vibes* gotta help before CG sees

*Sal flies off and dives toward CG*

CG: Weird, I was expecting Vibes.

Sal: She's...finishing off the crossword.

*They pause. And both CG and Sal laugh*

CG: OK that was a good one. But I'm still going to immobilise you.

Van: *helps Vibes up* got ya

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Thanks. Now all I need to do is focus, get myself back before I...I...
ACCCCHOOOO!!!

*As she sneezes she sends Van hurtling backwards*

Van: whoa! *crashes into CG*

*Sal just dodges*

Sal: Thanks for taking her out. Next time perhaps do it in a less...slapstick way?

Van: Not what I was going for.

*They look round and see Vibes' hands have turned into lobster claws*

Vibes: I don't feel so good...

Van: let's get her to Anty.

*Vibes' body starts to bloat*

Vibes: HONK!

Van: and fast. *grabs vibes*

LATER...

*Van looks concerned as he knocks on Anty's door*

Van: Come on...

*He looks at Vibes*

Van (thought): Hope this isn't contagious!

Van: anty. Vibes needs a bit of help

*Anty nods*

Anty: We'd better get inside.

LATER...

*Van is outside the quarantine room with Anty*

Van: So...

Anty: There's no cure...

Van: Seriously? She's stuck like that?

Anty: Let me finish. There's no cure...except for vitamins, fluids and bed rest.

Van: What do you mean?

Anty: Vibes has psychic flu.

Van: So how does flu give her an elephant truck and lobster claws?

Anty: Vibes' body chemistry is...unique. Her mind affects her body and her
body affects her mind. Therefore her lack of focus is reflected in
the changes in her body.

Van: Right...

Van: can it affect others?

*Anty looks concerned*

Anty: As far as I know no.

Van: What do you mean?

Anty: Well this is something Rote and I have studied on an almost theoretical
basis. There is the potential risk of contagion so the best thing to do
is keep your distance to be on the safe side.

right.

*Vibes' sneeze rips through the wall.*

Anty: Rote and Penny are working on reinforcing the walls.

Van: they may want to hurry

*Sal arrives clutching a bag*

Van: What's that?

Sal: Vibes' cheer up bag.

Van: What do you mean?

Sal: She's a rubbish patient- I've got comics, her handheld game console, sweets, pretty much
everything to keep her occupied.

MEANWHILE...

*Sebiv is in a secluded area*

Sebiv: Yes... I can sense Vibes' influence waning... Now is my chance to unleash my
fully optimised power....
