A few days after the battle of the Dimmsonian, Aurellia walked through the Dimmadome mansion with a clipboard.

"O-pairs, What's our status?" She asked into a earpiece.

"Perimeter is secure. Nothing's getting past us."

"Good" she replied before continuing.

In the kitchen Hazel accompanied by Wanda placed a few groceries on the island.

"Hazel, Wanda, did you gather the supplies?" Aurellia asked them.

Hazel saluted cutely as she replied.

"Yep. We're ready to fight this on all fronts."

"Great!" She said before giving a thumbs up.

"Now all we need is-"

"Rain? Beach waves?" Cosmo interrupted, walking in with armfuls of CDs and a speaker. "Something called "lo-fi beats to study and relax to"? I've got it all. Peri was going through the basement and gave me some soothing noises." 

"That's great...wait, Peri's still here?" Aurellia asked.

She immdently walked into the living room and saw Peri looking at a photo album.

"Peri, you're supposed to be out getting medical supplies. Come on, we have a crisis on our hands!" she told him.

"Chill, bossy boots. Everything is fine" he replied, putting the album down and standing up.

Cutting to Dev's room, the elevator doors opened for her and Peri.

"DOES THIS SEEM FINE TO YOU?!" she asked him, gesturing in front of her.

Dev was lying on his bed, wearing his pajamas and had socks on his hands and a towel on his forehead and was completely delirious. On his face and arms were tiny red bumps that formed huge rashes. After the field trip, Dev started feeling funky until the rashes started. Aurellia only could assume that one of his classmates or teachers had a early stage of chicken pox and accidentally gave the virus to him.

"Whoa, it's like I have snakes for arms" he said, his voice raspy.

"I....take it back" Peri said, earning a glare from the babysitter.

"Okay, now that you see how desperate the situation is, I need you to go the nearest pharmacy and get baking soda or aluminum acetate, calamine lotion, antihistamine, Tylenol to help with the fever. I also need to get plenty of fluids. Cold drinks, popsicles, but please stay away from milk, even the lactose free kind because I don't want to risk him getting sick" she told him.

He blinked twice after she finished listing off everything she needed.

"Uh...is that all?" He asked nervously.

Her eye twiched before-

JUST GET THE STUFF!

Peri then went flying out of the room with a girly scream before he landed on his back with a thud.
