When Danny woke up that morning, he immediately knew something wasn't right. Sitting up in bed, he noticed his whole body was aching, his throat felt like sandpaper and he was cold...so cold. On top of that, a headache was forming to pester him too.

"Danny!" His mom's cheerful voice suddenly called from downstairs. "Time to get up! We've got a long drive ahead and you haven't even packed!" 

Figuring he was sick based on his symptoms, Danny attempted to get out of bed only to be met with a wave of dizziness, that knocked him back into bed. Ugh, great...Like this trip could start worse. Danny groaned, closing his eyes to try and ease his headache. 

After a few moments, he finally managed to get out of bed and get dressed, then he headed downstairs to the kitchen.

When Danny got down to the kitchen, he was by his parents running around the house, frantically packing for the trip, meanwhile, Jazz was comfortably sitting by the table, not helping out, and instead sat and ate breakfast.

"Good morning Danny, breakfast is on the table!" Maddie said, rushing past him with a handful of her lab gadgets. Danny plopped down on his chair heavily, nibbling at his breakfast---not that it tasted like anything. 

"When you're done, go pack because we need to leave as soon as possible!" Jack yelled from the living room. Danny called back for an answer and finished his remaining breakfast, then got up to head to his room. 

That was from out of nowhere he sneezed. Stopping halfway up the staircase the raven audibility groaned at the ache that the sneeze caused. He didn't make it far before sneezing again, this time causing Maddie to stop in her tracks. "Danny, you alright? " she asked, coming up to him, placing a concerned hand on his forehead. 

Feeling his forehead, she instantly recoiled her hand in shock. "Oh sweetie, you have a fever..." Danny sighed, already having figured that part out when he'd woken up that morning.  "Um, how about you go pack, and we'll see what we can do about this..." Nodding, Danny headed up to his room and packed his bag.

The raven knew his mom had meant something with what she said...because as Danny headed down to the kitchen again both his parents were silently arguing with each other. They didn't even need to try and hide the fact they were discussing the situation.

Shushing her husband, Maddie rushed over to Danny pretending everything was fine. The lie on the other hand painted her face. It was so obvious his parents had been talking about him...

"Everyone in the car, we're leaving!" Jack called, ushering the Fentons out the door with the luggage. Danny fell in last and awkwardly got in the car, where the tension was rising.

"Danny...How are you feeling?" Maddie asked, turning around to face her son. Seeing his pale and feverish face said enough for her, but the raven lied through his teeth anyway.

"Im fine," Danny responded dryly. He hated this situation as much as his family did because he was creating a scene by being sick. How will this end? They can't spend the entire trip taking care of me... 

"You can sleep Danny, it'll be a while until we arrive at Vl- I mean to our destination!" Maddie said, not bothering to turn around to face him again. The raven rolled his eyes at her weird order but closed his eyes anyway, falling asleep within minutes.

Groggily opening his eyes again, Danny looked out the window and noticed they were in a familiar area. Hadn't he flown over this area last week?

Analyzing his surroundings more closely, he noticed more and more things that looked way to familiar. There was the farm...and the factory...and then finally the garden center.
