The Sneeze Sisters (New Story)

[Guest]

Becky and Rachel were sisters. For as long as anyone could remember they had done

everything together. Born a year apart, they were best friends and shared everything. It

seemed whatever Becky did, Rachel wanted to follow her big sister. From soccer as kids

to cheerleaders in high school to choosing the same college the girls were never apart.

This similarity even carried over to their health. Both got the usual childhood illnesses

usually within a very short period of time. And as they reached their teens, their mother

realized that they weren't going to escape her curse of allergies. Becky was first at 16 to

exhibit the signs. As Spring came she began to experience attacks of sneezing. She

thought it was a cold at first but as she found her symptoms worsened whenever she was

near fresh cut grass or flowers she realized what she had. Rachel thought it was funny, she

was 15 and teased Becky constantly. Sometimes she would watch Becky as she tried to

fight the sneeze. Becky would wiggle and wriggle her nose trying to relieve the tickly

feeling. Meanwhile, Rachel would taunt her: “...gonna sneeze Becky, you’re gonna

sneeze! Can’t fight it!..”Becky would finally give in and let the attack take charge.

“Achoo! Achoo!! Aaaa-chooooo!! Aaaa-chhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!!” After 20 or 30

consecutive sneezes Becky would stop. Still she felt the constant itch in her nose and

before long the sneezes would return. As her first hay fever season went on Becky became

more and more sensitive to the pollen. The sneezing became relentless despite the pills her

mother had given her. Finally, as Summers heat came the hay fever subsided. Becky still

had occasional sneeze attacks but her nose began to feel less ticklish than in May. Rachel

found all of this quite comical. Becky seemed so “out of control” unable to resist the urge

to sneeze. Since Becky didn’t experience any breathing problems the whole problem of

hay fever seemed funny. Even Becky managed an occasional giggle over the whole

dilemma. She really didn’t feel bad, she just couldn’t stop sneezing.

As the next 3 years passed, Becky graduated and headed to college at the local university

and Rachel followed. Rachel was now 18 and felt she had avoided the “Curse” that her

sister had developed. The girls decided to get an apartment on Campus and resume their

close ties. It was mid- May as Rachel moved in and Becky showed the characteristic signs

of her Spring malady. Her eyes and nose were tinged red and she sniffled constantly.

Rachel smiled in sympathy to her sister, she teased “Poor Becky, you want to sneeze don’t

you?”. Becky nodded yes. “Go on, sneeze, sneeze, sneeeze!!!” Rachel chanted until her

sister wriggled her nose and let the hay fever take hold. “aaaa-choooo!, aaaacchoooo!!!,

aaaachoooo!!!!!!!, achhhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!!!!!” The sneezes came in dozens and

finally as the attack subsided Becky felt some relief. That night Becky sat on the couch as

Rachel handed her tissues. Becky couldn’t go 15 minutes without a sneeze and in between

the ever present tickle in her nose never abated. She felt comforted having her sister there

with her. Rachel made jokes about it and tried to keep Becky from feeling too sorry for

herself. Whenever she could see Becky showing the signs of an impending sneeze she

would “egg her on”. “Cmon Becky let it go! Don’t fight it! sneeze!!” Becky would smile

and sneeze one after another after another.

The Summer went by quickly and as the new school year came the sisters prepared for

their first day of classes. It was a pretty September morning when Becky awaked to a

peculiar sound. “Ahhh-ahhhh- aaaaaacchhhoooooo!!!! aaaachhhoooo!!!

aaaaa-chooooooo!!! It was Rachel! She stood in the kitchen holding a kleenex to her nose.

“I think I have a cold” she explained. “I woke up this morning and opened the window

and all of a sudden I started snee-snee-aachoooo!! sneezing! Becky studied her sister’s

face as she sneezed. Rachel twitched her nose and rubbed it straight up and down.

Rachel: What are you looking at?

Becky: Rachel, Does your nose tickle?

Rachel: Kinda, Yea I guess it does, No, you don’t think....”

Becky: You feeling kinda itchy?

Rachel: My eyes and wait a minute, No way Becky it’s not even Spring!

Becky: Yea, that’s true. But you sure look like I feel when hay fever comes on.

Rachel: Achoo!! No it’s probably just a cold. C’mon were going to be late for class.

The girls get ready quickly with Rachel sneezing occasionally. As they make the short

walk to campus they pass a nearby field. As they get near Rachel starts to twitch her nose

again.

Becky: Are you OK?

Rachel: (Sniffle) Fine just an itch. Ahh- aaaa... a.....ahhhhhh-chhhhhoooooooo!!!!!!!!

Rachel begins to sneeze.

Rachel: “achoo!! achoo!! achoo!!!......” Becky help me! I can’t stop achoo!!

achoo!!!achoo!!achoo!!!!!

Becky quickly escorts her sister to the health center. The nurse at the check-in counter

smiles.

Nurse: Looks like someone has hay fever.

Rachel: (achoo!! achoo!! achoo!!) No it can’t be, (achoo!!!) it’s not Spring! (achoo!!)

Nurse: No, it’s Ragweed season. You’re the 10th person we’ve seen this morning. The

pollen count is over 300 today and everyone who’s allergic to it is suffering.

Becky: Hmmm, but I have hay fever! How come I’m not sneezing?

Nurse: Well I guess you’re not allergic to it. Yet!!

Becky: what do you mean?

Nurse: Well, most people with hay fever eventually develop allergies to the nearby

allergens within a few years after exposure. Of course some people can be lucky and never

become sensitized. Here Hon, take these pills and you should get some relief. And here’s a

pamphlet on what you can do to minimize your exposure. If you don’t get any relief then

come back and see us.

As the girls leave, one of the girls in the waiting room greets them. Her eyes look red and

watery and she sniffles.

Girl: Hi, I’m Amber!

Becky: I’m Becky and this is my sister Rachel.

Amber: (to Rachel) you got hay fever too?

Rachel: Yea we both do. You too?

Amber: Yea. Actually there’s a group of us who do. We get together off campus. Kind of

a Sorority of hay fever sufferers. If you want to come by here’s the address. It’s totally

informal we just find its easier to hang out with fellow sufferers than try to explain to

those who don;t have why we sneeze all the time. You guys are welcome to join us.

(Achoo!) Sorry, Ive been fighting that one since we started talking. See Ya!

wow. i had like, the exact same expiriance in 5th grade! it was science time, and we were doing this lame activity and suddenly i started sneezing and just couldn't stop sneezing. my friend Jamie (im gonna call her Jamie 'cause its close to her name but i respect her privacy) took me to the nurse. id always had allergies, but she was always the on with hay Fever. i'd always teased her in a friendly way about how she had it and i didnt. Then the nurse said that it was hay fever, and i guess thats what ya get for teasing your friend.
