"Kie, want a hug?" Joked JJ as he came back from the water, soaking wet.
Kie was tanning face down, on her stomach. She didn't answer JJ, so he just sat beside to her.
"Kie?" JJ laughed "It's really not time to sleep" he rolled his eyes, still laughing.
He started shaking her "Kie?" Sounding more worried now. He turned her over, so that her head could rest on his lap. She was cold.
"Kiara?" He was shaking her a little harder now. "Guys! I think Kie isn't okay!" He shouted out.
"Why? What's going on??" Sarah rushed to his side. "Kie?" She looked at John B with a worried look.
"Move, I was a volunteer medical assistant at a festival" Cleo said. Pope raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe her.
"She's breathing, so she's just passed out" Cleo started, while everyone was looking at her, expecting some kind of explanation. "What? That's all I got, I'm not a doctor" She added.
"Okay, I could have guessed that" Pope frowned. "Maybe she's really low on iron, to be honest, nuts, seeds, and dried apricots don't have a lot"
They all stoped when they heard Kie grunt.

When she opened her eyes, all Kiara saw was JJ, Sarah, Cleo, Pope, and John B staring at her.
She sneezed, and sat up. "I'm okay guys, just a little sick" Kiara sighed.
"Okay, so, turns out the shelters are far more important than we thought..." John B expressed
"We should all be careful. We're all going to catch a cold if we're soaking wet." Cleo added, getting up and into the sun. Sarah and pope followed her.
"I'll make sure Poguelandia's castle has no holes." John B said, getting up. "Take Kie to the sun, she'll warm up" He added before leaving.
"You okay?" JJ asked Kie, who was shivering.
She was freezing, but the feeling of JJ's burning hot hands on her arms made her feel a little better. Her back was also half on JJ's lap, who was also burning hot.
"Yeah, just a little cold" She quivered
"Let's get you in the sun" He said as he started to help her up, but as soon as she was standing on both feet, she lost her balance, and he caught her.
She closed her eyes, but her hand on her forehead, and grunted. Low iron was no joke.
Her back was against his stomach, making her feel warmer.
"Here" He helped her to sit in the sun. She quivered "Too bad my body decides to give up now". He smiled, got up and looked at her. "I'll be back, give me a second, and don't move"
She sighed "As if I could", which made JJ chuckle as he left. She laid down. What had just happened? How did she manage to get sick. She sneezed. It was clearly a cold. Kiara closed her eyes, and tried to feel the warmth of the sun, but felt cold instead.
It was just her and her thought, until a heavy piece of fabric fell of her head, which startled her. "Gotcha" JJ laughed.
She sat up, taking JJ's warm and dry shirt off her face. "Now, you can't tell me you're cold" He said as he helped her get into his shirt. She had taken off her top, and was only wearing her sports bra.
"Thanks" She turned her head to meet his gaze. Their faces were inches away. JJ was looking deeply into her eyes. They got closer, and closer.
Suddenly, Kiara felt a rush of panic under her skin. "J," she started weakly, "I think I'm gonna fain-" she couldn't finish her sentence, and collapsed into his arms. "I got you" He whispered.
