"Fluorescent darling, come here." said the velvet to her servant. "Have you noticed some thing strange Fluorescent?"

"What do you mean?" Fluorescent asked shyly

"Look through my telescope" the velvet replied and Fluorescent looked.

"The people are acting strange."

"What do you think happened to them?"

"Um... mam, shouldn't you ask your advisor"

"Oh, I didn't tell you did I, he was affected with whatever this is so for now I have chosen you to be my advisor."

"Really mam?! Thank you!"

"Don't get to exited. Now, what do you think happen to get them acting this strange?"

"Hmm... maybe it's some sort of airborne virus?"

"Yes, I got to that same conclusion."

"But then how did your advisor get it but not you?"

"I do not know... Fluorescent, for now we should go to bed."

"Ok see you in the morning mam."

"Yes in the morning." said the velvet with a troubled look on her face.

"FLUORESCENT BRING THE PAINKILLER" screamed the velvet. Fluorescent's eyes snapped open. She fumbled in the medicine cabinet until she finally grabbed both bottles of painkillers. She ran over to the velvet's room. The velvet snatched the bottles and swallowed all the painkillers, without batting an eye! Then Fluorescent saw it. The velvet's angelic glow was darkening and it looked as if the color were being drained out of her to only to leave dull, gray scale version of her.

"Mam are you ok...?" asked Fluorescent

"I'm fine," screeched the velvet. "But call the head psych."

"Why..."

"Just do it!!" the velvet writhed. Fluorescent pressed the button to call the head psych. A few minutes later, he came rushing in. He stood next to the velvet's bed. Suddenly the velvet grabbed the psych's head, bent it down, and stuck her nail into his vein. He fell on the floor, but quickly got up. He was changing, just like the velvet had, but faster. "Fluorescent darling, come here" the velvet said, just like she had yesterday. Fluorescent cautiously stepped next to the edge of the bed. "This won't hurt if you don't fight it." The velvet whispered. Then she stuck her nail into Fluorescent's hand. And Fluorescent fell, with spots in her eyes.
