Who: Cu Chulainn, Diarmuid, and everyone else.
Where: All around the city
When: After 9/20
Summary: Cu Chulainn is a fussy little boy because he doesn't feel good
Warnings: Sickness, whining children

1. Various places; open

[Cu Chulainn felt sick. It wasn't anything new either. Ever since he had come to the city, his unsupervised diets of sweets, junk food, and meat constantly gave him stomachaches. However, this was the worst stomachache yet. Every step he takes, he feels like he wants to puke.]

[He would lie down, but Diarmuid isn't in his room and he dislikes staying home sick by himself. Especially since there seems to be something exciting going on in the city. Therefore, he was trudging around, looking for his friend.]

[Maybe you can find him lying down on a bench, pouting. Or maybe you can find him sitting on the beach, throwing a shell up and down in the air. Maybe you can find him at network monitor, poking at the touch screen. Or, perhaps, he has his nose pressed against the glass window of a random shop, seemingly staring at something inside. No matter where he is or what he does, he seems to lack his usual energy.]

2. Outside District 4, locked to Diarmuid

[Cu Chulainn was already irritated from feeling sick. It's worse because he can't find his friend. And it's much, much worse when he realizes he can't enter the new district that everyone is having fun in. Not without feeling faint and almost passing out. So he's standing right outside the district. Glaring daggers at those people bustling around within. Especially one little boy passing between the various structures.]

[He had finally found his friend, and now he's not very happy that only one of them gets to be in the new district.]

I like Grey and White! They sound like good Druid names!

[Diarmuid suddenly starts giggling.]

Our puppies are magic puppies then!

Yes, they can be like fairy puppies! And they'll come to our aid if we whistle and seize chariots all by themselves!

Yes! They will!

[Diarmuid cheers.]

But once they are bigger. They are just like us now. They have a lot to learn!

I'll teach the puppies! Just like you'll teach me! But who'll the puppies teach?

They can teach each other! Or other puppies! How's that?

That sounds great! They should teach other puppies so all the puppies can be magical!

That would be great, wouldn't it? Everyone having magical puppies!

[Diarmuid reaches down and pats Grey on the head.]

You will make me proud when you get big. I know you will. And you will help me practice to be a good knight!

[Cu Chulainn, meanwhile, scratches White on the ear.]

And you'll make me proud too. Don't lose to Grey over there!

And don't you lose to White! Okay, Grey?

[Diarmuid gives his puppy a kiss on the top of his head.]

Do you want to go a little farther now? I can try to carry the bag...or maybe we can drag it a little way? One of us on each side and one puppy for each?

That's a good idea.

[He hops off the bench. His stomach seems fine right now.]

I think it would be better to drag it since you're not as strong as I am.

[Diarmuid nods, gathering Grey into one arm and then grabbing a hold of one side of the bad.]

Just tell me if you start feeling bad again and we can rest. Oh! And we have to be careful not to tear the bag!

[Thankfully, it seems to be a pretty strong bag.]

[The bag really is strong. Strong enough to last until they're almost home. Only then does it fray. Cu Chulainn notices it when White struggles out of his arms to go much on the food.]

Hey! There's a hole in the bag!

Oh no! And we were so close to home too!

[Diarmuid looks at the bag sadly as Grey wiggles out of his arms to go munch on some food too.]

Do you want to run to the apartment and get something to cover the hole with? I can watch the puppies!

Let me try carrying it again!

[He picks up the bag again, keeping the hole at the top. However, he doesn't get many steps in before he wobbles and falls.]

[Diarmuid lets out a startled cry and makes his way to his friend's side as quickly as he can with two puppies in tow.]

Are you okay? Please don't be hurt!

[He groans, sits up, and rubs his stomach.]

My stomach hurts...

[Diarmuid's expression saddens and he pulls back on White's leash slightly when the excited puppy moves toward Cu Chulainn.]

No one should carry it anymore! Maybe we can drag it with the hole up? Or maybe there is an adult inside Building One who will help us from here?

I don't want an adult. So let's just try dragging it up. It can't all spill. It's such a big bag.

[He scoops up White, then grabs a corner of the bag.]

I don't want to waste any... Oh!

[An idea dawns on him.]

Once we get it up, I will just come back and get what spilled. Here turn it like this just a little. It will spill less!

[Diarmuid adjusts his hold on Grey and the bag, then smiles at Cu Chulainn.]

Lets go!

[He trudges along with Diarmuid. His stomach still hurts, but he's no longer as nauseous. Soon, they reach the bottom of the staircase.]

...Okay, what do we do now?

Oh...

[Diarmuid's face falls. He thought they were doing well, but he had forgotten about the stairs. For a moment, he almost looks like he's going to cry because he's starting to get tired.]

I...don't know.

[He whimpers and sits on the first step.]

Me neither. I'm tire! I don't wanna go up the stairs and I don't wanna carry dog food!

[His lip wibbles. He's also getting ready to cry.]

[Seeing his brother about to cry seems to snap Diarmuid out of his own sadness. He walks over to Cu Chulainn and gives him a hug.]

Don't cry. Lets take the puppies upstairs and then I will put you to bed so you can rest. I will come back and get the dog food once you are settled in with the puppies.

[He's not sure how he will do it, but Diarmuid is more willing to ask an adult for help than his brother seems to be.]

Okay...

[He whimpers and hugs Diarmuid back.]

Wake me up when you get the dog food. I think I'll feel better than.

I will! Okay, lets get you into bed!

[Diarmuid climbs up a couple of the steps and motions for his brother to follow him.]
