Will is writing on the board in the choir room.

"Just one of the perks of being a high school teacher: Constant exposure to illness." Will says in a voiceover.

"All right, guys, um...Time to start thinking about song selections." Will tells the New Directions. He has a fever.

Will continues talking in a voiceover. "I mean, I feel like I might have a fever, but it's important that I power through it." He turns around and everyone looks like 10 years old. "Okay. I definitely have a fever." Will confirms in a voiceover.

Mini Santana smirks. "Lookin' good, Puckerman. Someone's been eating their wheaties."

Mini Puck raises his arms. "These guns are fully loaded."

Mini Rachel raises her hand. "Mr. Shue? I, for one think we should use our set list for sectionals to start exploring the oeuvre of one Bernadette Peters."

Mini Brittany states "Someday, I'm gonna go to Paris and visit the oeuvre."

Mini Violet kisses Mini Kurt's cheek. "My boyfriend is the best in the world!"

Mini Kurt giggles. "And I have the best girlfriend in the world."

Mini Mike looks at Mini Tina. "I just want to dance."

Mini Mercedes looks at their teacher. "Mr. Schuester, you look a little green."

Will wipes at his head. "Um... I think I'm gonna go see the nurse. But first I feel like I should get you guys a sitter."

Charlie is talking to Kurt, Mercedes and Violet in the lunch line. "I'm shaking. And it's either from low blood sugar or rage. I knew it was only a matter of time before Rachel tried to take over the Glee Club."

Mercedes nods. "We'll forget all about it tonight at bowling."

Violet sighs. "I can't. Blaine asked me and Charlie to hang out." She says and Charlie nods.

Kurt smiles. "Really? Where are you guys going?" He asks.

"We're going to Breadstix. I don't know if it's an unofficial date, but I'm going as a third wheel." Violet says.

Charlie blushes. "It's not a date!" He says.

Violet giggles. "Uh huh, sure. It's totally not a date with your favorite Warbler."

Charlie tries to glare at her, but he fails. "You're my wing woman! I need my wing woman."

Mercedes frowns. "I've been looking forward to it all week. Wait. Are you two going out? Because I think you need to come clean."

Charlie shakes his head. "What? No. I don't want another Jesse... Rachel traitor scenario to overcome. Please, Mercedes. Mum's the word."

Violet smiles. "We'd be happy for you. I mean, we know how lonely you've been."

Even though Charlie doesn't admit it, he is very lonely.

Kurt smiles. "We can still go bowling Mercedes. We'll hang out with Violet and Charlie on Friday night."

Mercedes cut in the lunch line. "Excuse you." She says to a student. She wants her tots. Mercedes looks at the lunch lady. "Whoa, whoa. A couple more. Thanks."
