“Jenny?” Ol’Skool said in surprise

“Guilty!” Rose laughed awkwardly.

They arrived at the hospital.

“We have a 12 year old girl with a headache, stiff, sore neck and high fever.” Rose explained to the attendant on duty.

“How did you know that?” Burn asked.

“I’m empathic, I could feel it,” Rose said “my full currier name is Primrose.”

Fizz was checked and rushed back as her fever had risen a bit to 105.2°F.

“I really hope she’s going to be okay.” Burn whispered

Rose sat with her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands. Hospitals weren’t her favorite places due to all of the upset people.

“I need a quiet place,” Rose said

“Rose-chan asu, anata ga imouto o iri masu (1)” Devon said

“Shiette imasu, demo muzukashi-i de masen (2)” Rose replied

“Jeannette Coleman?” a nurse said

“Nani(3)… oh, sorry… yes?” Rose said

“Come with us, Anthony, you need to come as well”.

Rose and Ol’Skool went with the nurse.

“She needs a spinal tap, but she’s refusing to allow us to perform the procedure”

“Can one of the other curriers come in and talk to her, I know they can help her a lot better than I could” Ol’Skool said

‘That sounds like a good idea, I can feel her fear… she’s afraid of the needle.” Rose said

Ol’Skool went and got Burn; and he talked her into letting them perform the test.

“I hope this isn’t what I think it is”, Rose whispered after finding out all of Fizz’s symptoms.

The test results would have to wait as Fizz started having a major seizure!

“Oh snap!” Burn backed up.

“Fizz” Rose was held back by Ol’Skool.

They soon got the seizure stopped but Fizz wasn’t showing any signs of regaining consciousness and everyone feared the worst.

The results came back and everyone’s fears were confirmed.

(POV Burn)

I watched as she lay in bed, it hurt me to see her this way, she was given a little help breathing, but other than that she just looked like she was asleep. No one could tell by looking that she was fighting for her life.

“Fizz,” I sighed, “the dojo hasn’t been the same since this happened to you. We’re down in the rankings and everyone’s sad” I sighed and looked at her small hand in contrast to mine and my heart wished that she would respond to me.

“Why, God, why her… she’s has so much to look forward to” I wiped away a tear

(Third Person)

Burn looked over at Fizz’s young form and he knew that this wasn’t right and he wished there was some way he could change her situation… but he couldn’t.

“Burn… it’s time to go home” Ol’Skool said “you need to get some sleep”

“No, ‘Skool, I want to stay with her… I know she doesn’t know I’m here, but at least I can feel like she knows that I’m here”

“Burn, I know you want to stay but think about it we’re down in the currier rankings and we need all the help we can get… and if you really think about it, you’re no use to anybody if you’re falling asleep on the job.”

“Okay, okay… I’m coming” Burn groaned

Ol’Skool started out and Burn leaned over and gave Fizz a small kiss on the cheek before tucking her in a little better and leaving.

Days passed with little improvement and one day Fizz acknowledged Rose’s touch but not her voice.

“Why won’t she respond to sound?” Rose demanded

“Rose, we did some tests while she was still unconscious and this just supports what we thought happened… your sister is deaf”

A/n: these are the rough translations, please excuse me if my translations were wrong.
1. Rose you have to stay, your sister needs you.
2. I know, but it's hard for me to stay here
3. What?
