Rainbow Fever

Chapter 8

Meanwhile, the kids were finished rehearsing and went to check in on Murray.

It was the next day and they were running out of time.

"How are you feeling, Murray?" said Charles Wallace.

"Okay, I guess" said Murray.

"How's your tummy?" Meg asked.

"It's the same" Murray responded.

"It can't be the same now. It's Wednesday" said Calvin.

"Gawrsh. I hope the other Wiggles come back soon with advice from the Misses" Sam said.

"Until then, how can we help Murray?" said Calvin.

"Well, Sam. You're his lover. Rub his tummy" Meg said.

"WHAT?!" Sam yelled.

"it might help. It always works when I do it with Paul" Meg said.

"What do you mean, Meg?" said Murray.

"When Paul is sick, she rubs his stomach. Gets weird really" said Calvin.

"And Sam is gonna do it with you" said Meg.

"Well, this is embarrassing" said Murray.

"On the other hand, Rainbow Day is tomorrow. Come on, Sam" said Charles Wallace.

"Still no" Sam said.

"Sammy, please. It might help my tummy feel better" Murray pleaded.

Sam hesitated before saying "okay. Fine"

Sam rubbed her hand up and down Murray's tummy. 

Murray actually liked it much to Sam's dismay.

The Misses eventually showed their faces in the Wigglehouse.

"Kids. We are here for Murray. You may go" said Dr Which.

"You're lifesavers, Misses. I can't stand rubbing his gut" Sam said flying away.

"And Meg has no problem doing it with Paul" said Charles Wallace.

"Go on now" said Dr Whatsit.

"Can you three help me? Will you?" said Murray.

"Murray. We can help you. But you must help us" said Dr Which.

"How can I?" said Murray.

"You could start by not worrying. You will be alright" said Dr Whatsit.

Dr Who put her hand on Murray's tummy and said ""Laugh even when you feel too sick, too worn out or tired". Speer, American"

That put a smile on Murray's face. 

"That's the face we want. You'll be alright, my darling" said Dr Whatsit.

"You three are so kind" said Murray. 

"We do what we can" said Dr Whatsit winking at him.

"Have you thought of anything?" said Murray.

"Relax, dear Murray. We are planning your cure out. And we promise it you will be okay by tomorrow" said Dr Which.

"But for now, get some rest. Everything's under control" said Dr Whatsit.

""Health is not valued till sickness comes". Fuller, English" said Dr Who.

Hearing from the Misses made Murray feel peaceful somehow. He didn't know how, but he loved it.

Now, wasn't that adorable?

What's coming up? What could it be?

Peace and love,

Sammy
