[today, Nigel went to class, to find all the kids blushing and holding hands. His face falls, and he whispers]

Oh... oh no...

[he backs away slowly from the door, hoping that nobody will notice him coming or going.

And then he books it through the hall, dodging left and right to narrowly avoid the occasional drone girl throwing herself at him.

[Hey hey, guess who's already infected and walking up to Nigel with a cute shy little blush?]

[numbuh_one]

...Dawn?

[good guess. He holds up his hands with the palms facing outward, shaking them a bit]

Dawn, wait! L-Let's talk about this!

[noneed_2worry]

H-hi, Nigel!

[numbuh_one]

H-H-Hello!

[He takes a step back, trying to be casual about it]

[noneed_2worry]

[Hands folded behind her back, swiveling her foot against the ground~]

...How's it going?

[numbuh_one]

[well at least she's not coming after him yet. That's a good thing. Maybe she DOESN'T have cooties?]

Oh, pretty good, just kinda fearingformylife is all...

Ummmm!

How are you feeling, Dawn?

[noneed_2worry]

Oh, you know... pretty good. Are you feeling better?

[Why isn't she looking him in the eye?]

[numbuh_one]

N...No. Actually, I need some fresh air.

Now.

[he's just gonna slide on toward that front door, Dawn...]

[noneed_2worry]

Wait!

[Reaching out for his hand!]

[numbuh_one]

[he notices that out of the corner of his eye, and practically does a pirouette to avoid it]

Gah!

W-What?

[noneed_2worry]

Are you sure you're okay? Why are you leaving already?

[Looking a little pouty...]

[numbuh_one]

Dawn - The school ... it's a hotbed of disease...

I need to find someone who can perform cure, and do it properly! If it's not done right...

[he shudders]

That's just one more victim!

[noneed_2worry]

Disease? What kind of disease? That sounds really bad! Can I come with you?

[numbuh_one]

Well... The first symptoms are red faces, sweaty palms, fever ...

[he flounders helplessly. He wishes Dawn could come with him, but he's pretty sure she's contaminated. He doesn't want to say that out loud.]

[noneed_2worry]

[S-SHOCK]

Oh no! I've already got it! What should I do?

[numbuh_one]

[he thinks carefully on it]

... You have two options.

One is to stay quarantined in the school and stop other kids from getting in and catching the cooties.

The other...

... Is you could come with me to find a doctor that can perform a "cootie shot", and once we've ensured that it works, we can go back and bring the cure to all the other kids. But you could not touch me, under any circumstances, this is how the epidemic spreads --

The choice is up to you.
