Part 18:

First thing the next morning Skyler packed her things and left. Her continuous sneezes had somewhat subsided during the previous night, allowing her to sleep and signaling that she was, at long last, starting to get better. As she thought about her own cold, which was now at it's outmost worst, Carly assumed she probably had one more full day left with the girls, before she would be the next one to leave. It has become undoubetdly clear that Tara was now in the full grip of a bad cold, and Polly was doing her best to make both her and Carly feel better. Alex refused any help offered to her by Polly, claiming that she wasn't sick, even though she was sniffling constantly and occasionally sneezing wetly.

"He Pshoo, E Psha!" sneezed Tara later that morning, as the four women were watching T.V.

"Bless you" Polly told her and handed her a box of tissues.

"Thadk you" Tara said before taking a handful of tissues from the box and giving several gurgling nose blows into them.

"You sound awful" Polly told Tara.

"Thed I guess I soudd just as bad as I feel" said Tara. "I dod't thidk I ever had a cold this bad before".

"TshooEshoo, He He HeshTshoo! Be deither" said Carly. "I cad't believe how bessy by cold is".

"Hu Tshoo!" Alex sneezed, sending a cloud of mist into the air around Polly. Carly had never seen anyone less careful with their germs than Alex.

"Do you bidd dot sdeezig all over Polly? Who will take care of Carly add be if she get's sick? Because I dod't thidk you will" Tara told Alex.

"Dod't you bead- 'whed' Polly gets sick? Hae TshooEh!" sneezed Carly.

"I'b dot Tshoo! sick *sniff* it's just sobethig id by dose" said Alex.

"Oh cobe od! I dod't thidk eved you really believe that adybore" said Carly.

"A Pshoo, He He Pshoo! Yeah, whed will you adbit that you're sick?" asked Tara.

"It's just a few E Tshoo! sdeezes. I'b sure it'll go away id do tibe" said Alex and sniffled.

"Don't you at least want to blow your nose?' asked Polly.

"Do. Dose blowig is for *sniff* sick people" said Alex.

"Ae TshooEsh!" Carly sneezed and gave a gurgling nose blow into her handkerchief.

"I wish I had a haddkerchief like you, Carly. By dose is gettig so red because I have to blow it so bady tibes with tissues" said Tara.

"A haddkerchief feels better alright, but by dose still got all red, as you cad see" said Carly.

"I'll go see if we have another handkerchief around here" said Polly.

"Thadk you so buch, Polly He Epshoo, A Psha!" sneezed Tara.

Just as Polly was about to leave the room, she was hit by another uncovered sneeze from Alex- "Hue Tshoo"!

"You really should cover your sdeezes" Tara told Alex.

"Why? *sniff* It's dot like I'b sick add codtagious" said Alex.

"Still, it's just plaid rude" Tara said.

Before too long, a girl named Rachel had arrived to replace Skyler. She was a nice girl, though not as eager to take care of sick people as Polly was.

"Looks like there's a nasty cold going around" Rachel said after seeing the poor state of Carly, Tara and Alex.

"Hu Tshoo, Tshoo!" Alex unleashed two strong, wet sneezes into the air. It was the first time she had sneezed more than once in a row.

"I hope I don't catch it" Rachel continued.

"What about you, Alex? You're sdeezes dod't seeb to be goig adywhere" said Carly.

"*sniff* I albost dever sdeeze bore thad odce id a row *sniff Baybe I ab gettig sick after all" said Alex.

Carly wanted to gloat, but sneezed twice instead- "Ha TshooEh, EshTshoo"!

"Would you like sobe tissue?" Tara asked Alex.

"*sniff* Yes please" Alex replied. Tara handed her the box of tissues and she blew her nose wetly into one.

"Welcobe to the sdot doses club" Carly told her jokingly.

"Very Tshoo! fuddy E Tshoo, Tshoo!" sneezed Alex.

Polly managed to find two more handkerchiefs. She gave one to the grateful Tara, but Alex preferred to keep using tissues.

"Hhhhhhhhhh Choo!" Polly raised the remaining handkerchief to her face as the breathy build up ended with a big, girly sneeze.

"Bless you" Tara told Polly.

"Uh oh, looks like the start of a bad cold" said Polly.

"How cad you be sure frob just ode sdeeze?" asked Alex.

"A Choo, Ah Aaaahhh Choo!" Polly sneezed twice more, covering her nose and mouth with the handkerchief. "Trust be *sniff* I cad tell" she told Alex.

Just like Polly had predicted- once her cold started, it got really bad really fast. Tara and Carly, who wanted to thank Polly for all the help she gave them before she caught her own cold, did their best to take care of her, while battling their own raging colds. In an almost unbelievably short amount of time, Polly went from taking care of her sick friends to being confined to her bed, feeling worse with each passing minute.

"E Chioo, He Ha Chioo, Hhhhh Chooooo!" Polly sneezed into her cupped hands, failing to grab the handkerchief placed on the nightstand by her bed in time. Carly thought Polly's sneezes were really cute, but she hated to see such a nice girl feeling so miserable.

"Bless E Pshoo! you Ha Epshoo, E Psha!" sneezed Tara.

"Thadk you" said Polly.

"Hu Esh TshooEsh!" Carly let out a messy sneeze of her own.

"Look at the three of us" Polly told the two girls standing by her bed "all so sick add Hai Chiooooo!" sdeezy with this bad cold id our doses".

"Yup *sniff* that's what you get for hadgig aroudd with sick girls" said Carly.

"E Tshoo, Hu Tshoo, Tshoo!" they heard Alex sneezing from another room.

"Eved a stubbord girl like that Alex could't dedy such a terrible cold" said Tara.

"Do you thidk she's still sdeezig all over the place without coverig her dose add bouth?" asked Carly.

"I'b guessig she is. It looks like a bad habit of hers" Tara replied.

"Thed I guess it wod't be lodg before that dew girl Rachel catches a cold as well Ha Haaa Choooo!" sneezed Polly.

Carly hoped that Polly was right about that. She and Tara did their best to take care of Polly, but Carly knew that the poor girl would have to spend at least two more days in bed before she starts feeling better. As for herself, while her red and puffy nose was still very stuffed up and she was sneezing a lot, Carly was certain that she would be leaving the next day. All she could do at that point was pray that Rachel gets sick before that happens.

"He Pshoo, He Ha Pshoo, Hua Psha!" sneezed Tara that evening. Spedning most of that day taking care of Polly, Tara's cold had gotten much worse.

"Tshoo! *sniff* Hu Tshoo!" Alex passed by Carly and Tara, who were taking a break from taking care of Polly, sneezing into a tissue, for a change.

"HueshTshoEh! We should get back to Polly sood" Carly told Tara.

"Hhh Ha Ishoo, Ishoo, Ei Ishoo! Tara and Carly turned and saw Rachel walking into the living room in the middle of a sneezing fit. "Excuse be" she said "but do ady of you girls kdow where I cad fidd sobe tissues? I seeb to be catchig that dasty cold you all have".

"Bless you" Tara told her. "I thidk Polly would kdow where they keep all the tissue boxes".

"Ei Shooo, Hi I Shoo, Ishoo, Ha Ishoo, Ai Shoo! Oh Wow! I'b sdeezig so buch add by dose is so ruddy, what a cold!" called Rachel.

"Let's go talk to Polly about gettig you sobe tissues HeshTshooEh, EshTshoo, He HeshShoo!" sneezed Carly.

"Ha Ish, A Ishoo, Ei Shoo!" Rachel sneezed as they got to Polly's room.

"Bless you, Rachel Haaaa Chiooo! Looks like you have a cold id your dose as well" said Polly.

"Yeah He Ha Ishoo, I Shoo, Ai Shoo! Such a sdeezy cold" said Rachel and sniffled.

"Well, I have a Aaa Choo! a box of tissues here id this roob, but I dod't deed it, sidce I'b usig a Ha Ha Ha Chioooo! haddkerchief. You should take it" said Polly.

"Thadk you He I Shoo! so buch He Ish, Ish, I Shoo, Ha Ei Shoo!" sneezed Rachel.

"Wow Rachel, you're really sdeezig up a storb He Epshoo, Hu PshooA!" sneezed Tara. "Her sdeezig fits bight eved be worse thad Skyler's" she told Carly.

"Hhhhhh Haaaaaaa ChooHooooooo! I guess we'll have to see, with this terrible cold" said Polly.

"That is defidtely the bessiest cold I have ever seed, dot to bedtiod had, id by life He He EshShooEsh!" sneezed Carly.

As she went to bed that night, Carly knew that she would be leaving the next morning, but she was happy. She had seen so many wonderful colds, that she didn't mind having one herself, and while she could've stayed for a whole lot  more, curious to see how the colds of the other girls would progress, who would be the new girls to arrive after them and what would their colds be like, she knew that all good things must come to and end.

TBC

Indeed, all good thins must come to and end, and this story is no exception, but it's not done yet. However, the parts we now have left are the final part of Leslie and the final part of Stella, and about two more parts of epilogue after that, so this means now is the last time you get to vote. So, for your final vote- what should we do now?

1) Finish Leslile's theme first and then Stella's

2) Finish Stella's theme first and then Leslile's

Cast your votes. Also, I would like to thank you all for sticking with this story and voting every time. I couldn't have done this without you :)

Part 19:

"Open up" Leslie told Georgia the next day, while lifting a spoon filled with the soup she has made.

"I have a cold, Leslie, I'b dot a child" said Georgia. "I cad eat by soup od by owd".

"As you wish" Leslie said and put the spoon back down in the bowl of soup.

"Hhh Hei Tshoo!" Georgia turned her head away from Leslie and sneezed.

"Bless you" said Leslie. "Now eat your soup before it gets cold".

"You kdow you dod't have to keep blessig be everytibe I sdeeze" said Georgia.

"I know, but I want to" said Leslie.

"This is really good" Georgia said after she started eating the soup.

"It's my mom's recipe" Leslie said with pride.

"By taste buds are pretty dubb because of by cold, but whad I cad taste is great" said Georgia. "I still cad't believe you bade be soup".

"I told you I would do whatever I can to make you feel better, didn't I? Once you finish eating- I want to take your temperature, and see if you're not developing a fever with that cold of yours" said Leslie.

"Ugh, I sure hope I'b dot. This cold is bad edough as it is He Ishoo, He Etshoo!" sneezed Georgia.

"Here" Leslie said, holding a tissue up in front of Georgia's face.

"I dod't deed help blowig by *sniff* dose" said Georgia.

"It'll feel better. Trust me" said Leslie.

Georgia shrugged, but allowed Leslie to blow her nose.

"It does feel kidda dice" said Georgia after Leslie was done.

"Told you" said Leslie. "Now, let's check your temperature".

Georgia told Leslie where to find a thermometer, and after she finished her soup and blew her nose a couple more times Leslie brought the thermometer and put it in Georgia's mouth. For a while, Georgia just sat there, but then Leslie recognized an all too familiar change in her friend's expression.

"Hold it" Leslie told Georgia. "Just a little while longer".

Georgia struggled with her impending sneezes, and when the thermometer finally beeped Leslie quickly took it out of her friend's mouth.

"Hai Ishoo, E Tshoo, He Hea I Tshoo!" Georgia's nose exploded.

"Bless you, sneezy" Leslie told her. "Well, the good news is you don't have a fever".

"So...... just a usual stuffy, sdeezy head cold, huh? Ha Tshoo, He Ishoo!" sneezed Georgia.

"Yup, that's all you have" said Leslie.

"I guess I should be thadkful it did't get worse thad that" said Georgia. "Sobe of the sick wobed we cabe across yesterday had sobe really dasty bugs".

"Yeah, and quite a lot of them were not too careful with their sneezes" said Leslie.

"Ha Teshoo, He Ishoo, Aaa Eshoo! Well *sniff* I'll adbit it cad be hard to codtrol your sdeezes" said Georgia.

"At least you're trying to" said Leslie. "Some of those women seemed like they couldn't care less if they get someone else sick".

Georgia blew her nose and said- "Sobe people cad be like that".

"Hey- I just realized you're not coughing either" said Leslie.

"Probably for the sabe reasod I dod't have a fever" said Georgia.

"What do you mean?" asked Leslie.

"Because you're takig such good care of be, silly" Georgia said and smiled. "I'b sure that without you takig care of be I would've beed here all by byself, coughig, ruddig a fever add feelig buch worse thad this cold is bakig be feel right dow".

"You're giving me way too much credit" Leslie said and blushed.

"I'b dot" said Georgia. "Without you here- I would've beed really biserable".

Encouraged by those words, Leslie continued to take care of sick Georgia. Even though Georgia's cold was bad, Leslie managed to make sure it stays only inside Georgia's nose, and not move to her chest or give her a fever.

"He Tshoo!" a wet sneeze was sent into the air that afternoon, but it did not come from Georgia's nose, but Leslie's.

"Bless you" said Georgia. "I hope you're dot godda pretedd you're dot cobig dowd with by cold, because you've beed sdifflig all afterdood".

"I...... I..... He He Tshoo!" Leslie sneezed again.

"Bless you agaid" said Georgia.

"E Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo!" Leslie's nose wasn't done.

"O.K. you cad stop sdeezig dow" Georgia said, half jokingly

"He Hea Tshoo, I Tshoo! I'b sorry *sniff* I dod't kdow what cabe over be" said Leslie.

"Yes you do- It's by cold Ha Esthoo, Ei Tshoo!" sneezed Georgia.

"Baybe I did't catch it frob E Tshoo! you" said Leslie and sniffled. "There were pledty of other sick wobed I could've caught it frob".

"Yeah, but you've beed speddig bore tibe close to by gerbs thad theirs" said Georgia.

"Good poidt" said Leslie and sniffled again.

"Here" Georgia said, handing Leslie a box of tissues. "Looks like you're godda be deedig those just as buch as I do frob dow od".

"Thadks I Tshoo, Tshoo, He E Tshoo!" Leslie took a tissue from the box and sneezed into it.

 

"He Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo!" Leslie launched into a fit of six sneezes the next morning.

"BlE Tshoo, He Teshoo! Bless you" said Gerogia, her first attempt at blessing her friend turning into a sneeze of her own.

"Thadk you" said Leslie and blew her nose, which had become red by now. "Ha Tshoo, Tshoo, I Tshoo! Oh! By dose just wod't give be a break"!

"Poor Leslie" said Georgia. "I guess that's what you get for beig a good friedd add takig care of sobeode with a bad cold, like bide".

"Dod't bake fud of be" said Leslie.

"I wasd't" said Georgia. "It's a shabe that you caught by cold, but it was pretty boudd to happed".

"E Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo, Hi Tshoo! I just wish I could stop sdeezig for, like, five bidutes" said Leslie.

"Dot with this cold you wod't Hae Shoo, A Ei Tshoo!" sneezed Georgia.

"I've dever sdeezed so buch id by life, dot eved with by worst colds or Hai Tshoo, He Itshoo, E Tshoo! allergy attacks" said Leslie.

"Bust be sobe special cold I gave you" said Georgia and blew her nose.

"Very fuddy Ha Ha Tshoo, E Tshoo, Tshoo!" sneezed Leslie.

"Listed sdeezy head, as buch as I hate to adbit it- I dod't thidk you should be stayig here adybore" said Georgia.

"What do you A Tshoo, Tshoo! bead?" asked Leslie. "I already caught your cold, so you dod't have to worry about gettig be sick adybore".

"Do, it's dot that" said Georgia. "With a cold this big- I thidk you should be bovig od, to the after party".

"How do you kdow Hei Tshoo, Tshoo, Tshoo!" Leslie's question was interrupted by yet another fit of sneezes.

"About the after party? Cobe od- dod't thidk I've forgotted where we are, or that I did't fidd out all I could about this place before I boved here" said Georgia.

"But if I go to the after party, would you be cobig with be?" asked Leslie.

"I cad't. The after party is for guests odly" Georgia replied.

"Thed baybe I should stay a little while lodger" said Leslie. "After all- you're still sick, add you deed sobeode to take care of you".

"Leslie- you're id do codditiod to take care of adyode but yourself" said Georgia.

"But I dod't wadt to leave you alode whed you're sick" said Leslie.

"You're very sweet" said Georgia and smiled. "Hey, I have an idea- I kdow of a place where I could stay udtil I get over this cold. Why dod't you escort be there before you go to the after party"?

"What kidd of place?" asked Leslie.

"Cobe od- I'll show you" said Georgia.

Part 20:

"Oh Sdella, you brought be bedicide! You are the He.... He...... He Epshoo, He Pushoo, Hu Waa Pshoo! besd" Dakota said when Stella returned to her room.

"Well, since you probably have the worst cold I've ever seen, I need to be at my best to help you defeat it" said Stella.

"Hu.... Hu....." Dakota's breath started to hitch, and Stella rushed to her side, grabbed a tissue from the box by Dakota's bed and held it to her parient's nose.

"Hu Haaa Hai Pshoo, Waaa Epshoo!" Dakota unleashed two big, wet sneezes into the tissue held in front of her face. The sneezes were so snotty and huge, Stella could feel them soaking the tissue completely and the wetness reaching her fingers holding the tissue.

"Oh, bless be" Dakota said through an extremely congested nose.

"Here- let me get you some more tissues" said Stella. She grabbed a bunch of tissues and handed them to Dakota, who destroyed them all with her mighty nose blows.

"Now, let me get you some water and then you'll take your medicine" said Stella.

"Gosh, I cad'd waid for the bedicide do kick id" Dakota said after taking the pills Stella gave her.

"It should help you sleep as well" said Stella. "You'll feel better soo...... soo..... Haa Tshoo, Ha E Tshoo, He He Tshoo! *sniff* sood. Excuse be".

"Bless you, Sdella" said Dakota. "Are you cadchig a cold as well"?

"*sniff* It's dothig, I just had to He Ha E Tshoo! sdeeze" said Stella, sniffling furiously.

"Baybe you should sid dowd for a while" Dakota suggested.

"Yeah *sniff* baybe I should" said Stella. She sat down on a chair next to Dakota's bed, and told her patient- "You just sleep for dow, add baybe later I" but before she managed to finish her sentence, she fell asleep.

"He Tshoo!" Stella herself woke up with a strong sneeze sometime later.

"Hu Pshoo!" Stella turned her head towards the source of the sneeze and saw Dakota standing on the other side of the room.

"Good bordig, sleepyhead" said Dakota with a smile.

"Dakota! What are you doig out of bed? Wait, did I fall asleep?" asked Stella.

"Like a baby" said Dakota. "Looks like this cold is already takig it's toll od you" Stella noticed that Dakota's voice sounded much less congested than before.

"What cold? Ha He Haa Tshoo!" sneezed Stella.

"This cold, silly" said Dakota. "I dod't kdow if you caught it frob be or frob adother patiedt, but your dose is full of it".

"He He Tshoo, Ha EshTshoo!" Stella sneezed again and sniffled. "I bight've caught it frob adother durse" she said.

"Here you go, sdeezy- I brought you sobe tissues" Dakota said, handing Stella a fresh box.

"Thadk you" Stella said and blew her nose wetly into the tissues.

"Looks like we're switchig parts- dow you're the patiedt add I'b the durse" said Dakota.

"Do way Ha Haa Tshoo, Hesh Tshoo! You're still buch sicker thad I ab" said Stella.

"Dot for lodg, it seebs" said Dakota. "I'b feelig buch better, thadks to your dursig, add your cold is odly just Hei Pshoo! begiddig" said Dakota.

"Yesh Tshoo! Ugh! What is up with by sdeezes? I dever Haaa E Tshoo! sdeeze like this" said Stella.

"That would be the terrible cold that you have Hu UshPshoo!" sneezed Dakota.

"He Tshoo, Esh Tshoo! Oh Dakota- what ab I godda Haaa Tshoo! do?" asked Stella.

"Well, you're probably godda keep sdeezig a lot, add you're probably godda have to blow your dose a lot, so it's godda get all red. If you're lucky- you wod't get a cough or a fever to go alodg with your cold" said Dakota.

"I kdow that! I beadt- how ab I goig to get over this cold He Esh Tshoo!" sneezed Stella.

"What you deed is sobeode to take care of you, like a durse. Baybe I should take your udiforb add start dursig you haha Haaa PshooShoo!" Dakota's laugh turned into a messy sneeze. She blew her nose wetly, and Stella did the same.

"Very fuddy" said Stella and sniffled. "Ode thidg's for sure though- I cad't durse ady bore patiedts. I have to focus od takig care of byself".

"A sbart decisiod" said Dakota.

"I deed sobewhere to rest add get better He Haa Tshoo! *sniff* add I thidk I kdow where I should go" said Stella.

"Thed go there" said Dakota. "I bight sitll be sick, but I'b od by way to beig healthy agaid Psh, I Pshoo, Ha Pshoo, Pishoo, Waaaaa Pshooooo! *sniff* Though it bight take be a little while before I get there".

"I'b glad I could help Ha Ha Haa Tshoo!" sneezed Stella.

"Eshoo, Heshshoo, Ha Eshoo!" on her way to return her nurse uniform, Stella ran into Bianca the pharmacist, who sneezed wetly into a tissue.

"You got sick as well, Biadca? Well guess what- be too He Tshoo!" sneezed Stella.

"Yeah *sniff* stupid Audrey probably got us both sick with her stupid gerbs He Shoo! Doctor Davis already had to go hobe add dow I'b goig hobe as well He Eshoo, Hesh Shoo, E Shoo! Ugh! By head is startig to hurt frob sdeezig Eshoo, Ha Eshoo! I'b godda He Shoo, Esh Shoo, Haa EshShoo! kill Audrey" said Bianca before blowing her nose wetly.

"He E Tshoo, He Tshoo, Ha Etshoo! By head is startig to hurt as well Yesh Tshoo!" sneezed Stella

"I cad't wait to go hobe add get to bed" said Bianca.

Sneezing and sniffling, Stella changed out of her nurse uniform and back into the clothes she wore when she came to the park. Her nose was running constantly, so she had to keep a tissue pressed to it. When she was about to exit the building, she noticed another young woman who was about to do the same. That woman turned out to be her friend, Leslie who also managed to catch a nasty looking cold.

"Leslie! What are you doig here?" asked Stella.

"I cabe here with a sick friedd" Leslie replied. "She has a bad cold, which I caught frob her, so I helped her check id here to be taked care of, add dow I'b od by way to the after party. What about you- were you a patied here"?

"He Tshoo, Ha Esh Tshoo! Acutally *sniff* I was a durse" said Stella.

"So you got sick frob your patiedts?" asked Leslie.

"Yeah, with what looks like the worst cold I've ever caught Ha Etshoo, He He He Tshoo!" sneezed Stella.

"Sabe with be. Cobe od thed- let's go to the after party" said Leslie. "I wodder if the others are there as well".

Epilogue- Behind the Scenes:

Claire watched as her friends went ahead and enterred the waiting room. She had expected this kind of approach from them when they find out that she wasn't entering the park like the rest of them, which is why she didn't tell them about until the very last moment. They seemed quite upset about it, just like Claire thought they would be, but she knew that they would forget all about it once they start enjoying their park experiences. Claire was certain of that since she knew her friends well, and they didn't like to ask questions when things were going the way they wanted. After all, none of them ever wondered how was it that they all managed to get such a considerable discount of their park tickets. Clair liked her friends, and liked spending time with them, but the park experience was a personal one anyway, and she had work to be done.

"Excuse me, I presume you're Claire?" a voice behind Claire snapped her from her thoughts.  She turned around and saw a woman in a business suit talking to her.

"I am" Claire replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Claire" said the woman. My name is Kate, and on behlaf of the park's management I would like to thank you for coming here today".

"The pleasure's all mine" said Claire with her trademark half smile.

"We'll get to that later, but business first" said Kate.

"Of course" said Claire. "So, where do we start"?

"A very good question" said Kate. "As a matter of fact, the first place you'll visit will be the same one all of our guests visit- the waiting room".

"If you don't mind me asking- shouldn't I be observing the park from the outside?" asked Claire.

"You will. Technically speaking, the waiting room isn't inside the park" said Kate. "Besides, we would like you to experience the sense of excitement in the waiting room, and while you do that I would go and make the final preparations for your tour. Do you find that acceptable"?

"Very well then- lead the way" said Claire.

Kate took Claire to a side entrance to the waiting room, one which regular guests were not allowed to go through. The other women in that section of the waiting room didn't really notice Claire entering, and she thought that is was probably because they were all too busy thinking about their park experiences, which were about to begin. Kate asked Claire to sit and wait there for her for a little while and Claire agreed. The atmosphere inside the waiting room was not exactly what Claire had expected. It was much more calm, and as she thought about it her mind started to wander off, so she didn't know exactly how long she'd been there when Kate returned.

"If you please follow me- our ride is ready" said Kate.

Claire's mind was still a little bit foggy when she followed Kate out of the waiting room, but her senses regained their usual sharpness by the time she and Kate stood in front of a hovercraft, similar to the one that took Claire and her friends to the park, only this one only had room for two people.

"All aboard" said Kate with a half smile of her own.

Claire went into the hovercraft and Kate followed her, closing the door behind them. As the hovercraft calmly took to the sky above the park, Claire remembered something that Kate said earlier- business first. She decided to stick to that approach for the time being, since she had an obligation to the company she worked for. The park's management was very keen to make that company one of their top investors, but in order to do that Claire needed to be persuaded by Kate that this was indeed a good investment. As much as Claire liked the idea of the park, especially the section her friends were now enjoying, she needed more than her own kinks to make an argument for such an important deal.

"First of all" Kate said while they were flying over the park "how did you enjoy your stay in our waiting room"?

"It was fine, I guess" said Clair "much more calm and quiet than I though it would be, but...... wait a second- did you change your clothes while I was in there?" she asked when she suddenly noticed that Kate was wearing a different business suit than before.

"Well, I do try not wear the same clothes every day" said Kate.

"What do you mean? How long have I been in that room?" asked Claire.

"A few days" Kate replied.

"What the hell?! How is that even possible? It felt like I've only been there for a few minutes" said Claire, completely shocked.

"I know that it might be a little overwhelming" Kate started.

"That's an understatement" Claire cut her off.

"But it would've been hard for you to believe this had you not experienced it yourself" Kate continued calmly.

"I'm still not sure I believe this" said Claire, still quite upset.

"Then please allow me to explain" said Kate. "As you know, the experience of each of our guests is based on the theme they choose. In order to give our guests the best experience we can, some preparations need to be made inside the park before the guests enter, which is why we have our waiting room. The thing is, some preparations take quite a while to make, sometimes even days, and we can't keep our guests waiting for so long. We struggled with this matter for some time, before we found a scientific solution for it. There was an experiment we came across, in the cutting edge field of bio- hypnosis. It is a method allowing to put people in a state of...... let's called it 'suspended animation', for lack of a better term, through subliminal means, in this case- by using some sort of sounds undetected by the naked ear, but picked by the brain nonetheless".

"So basically, what you're saying is you put me in a coma for a few days?" Claire asked, starting to get agitated again.

"Not exactly" said Kate. "You were, in fact, conscious the whole time, but your body functions were slowed down to the bare minimum necessary to sustain living, while your consciousness, while still active, was put in some sort of suspended state. I must admit, Claire, that I don't fully understand the science behind this, or behind other things we do here. I'm not a scientist, I'm a business woman, and part of my job is to find means to advacne our project. That bio- hypnosis experiment enabled us to do just that, so we invested in it, supported it, and helped completing it. Once the clinical trial proved beyond any doubt that this process isn't causing any damage or has any long term effects, we patented it and got it approved to be used in our waiting room. Everything is 100% legal and we have all the documents needed to prove it. You see, Claire, the key word concerning this park is entrepreneurship. We use this park as a ground for new and exciting enterprises to grow, like a hub, if you will".

"I see" said Claire. "And how do your guests react when they find out they missed hours or even days of their lives sitting in your waiting room"?

"That is what our terms of use are for" Kate replied. "I assume you read them thoroughly".

"Of course I did" said Claire "it's part of my job".

"Then I'm sure you read the part about accepting the fact that you might experience time loss due to your visit in the park" said Claire.

"I thought it's because of the space lag" said Claire.

"That's what everybody think, and it's partially true" said Kate "but most of the time loss is due to the bio- hypnosis".

"Are you sure you can't be sued for this?" asked Claire.

"We're certain. Our terms of use had been brought before courts on 15 different planets, and approved every single time" said Kate.

"Huh" said Claire "so I guess the theme about a research to find a cure for the common cold is also part of your..... entrepreneurship, then"?

"Oh no, it is not" said Kate "but I'm very gald you brought this subject up".

"Let me get this straight- you have all those people who knowingly volunteer to be used as lab rats for an experiment to find a cure for the common cold, and you're not actually trying to find a cure fo the common cold?" asked Claire.

"And why would I want to find a cure for the common cold?" said Kate.

"You? What does what you want have to do with it?" asked Claire.

"Tell me- do you think we don't know what part of the park your friends are visiting right now? Surely you realize that the fact that the person sent to show you this park was me, a board member of that very part of the park, is not a coincidence" said Kate.

"Oh......." said Clair. "So...... you mean......".

"That's right" said Kate. "No one is judging you or your friends, least of all me. Everyone has different things which turn them on, and the park management wanted to make sure you meet with someone with the same passion as you".

"I see" said Claire. "So you used your influence on the board to make sure you won't use the park to get to any scientific breakthrough which can hamper your own personal fetish, however monumental this breakthrough might be"?

"It's not like that" said Kate. "Like I said- I am a business woman. I simply stated my concerns that finding a cure for the common cold might consume to much of our resources with very low chances of success and that it will be better to use such a lucrative part of our park for other purposes".

"Such as?" asked Claire.

"That is why I'm glad you asked about our research on the common cold" said Kate.

"So you do have such research then" said Claire.

"Of course we do, but it's not about curing it" said Kate. "Don't get me wrong- if we ever happen to find a cure for the common cold, we would probably make enough money out of it to close down the park for good, but it's unlikely that we ever will, so our main focus is controlling the cold as much as possible".

"And that's what you use the 'lab rats' theme for?" asked Claire.

"Among other things" said Kate "but our breakthroughs can be even more crucial to other themes. Let's look at the 'race' them for example".

Kate then pulled out a tablet and turned on the screen.

"As you know" said Kate "your friend Bridget recently chose that theme. It might please you to know that Bridget won her 'race', but you might wonder how the winner is decided. After all- it can be very difficult to keep track of anyone exposed to Bridget's germs to know if she managed to infect them".

"So what do you do?" aske Claire.

"We mark the cold germs of every competitor in the 'race' with a special genetic signature, so that we can know exactly who infected who" replied Kate.

"Still, it could take some time before it becomes clear that someone indeed caught a cold" said Claire. "Those who participate in the 'race' would have to wait some time to know who won, unless you put them back under that bio- hypnosis of yours".

"Exactly" said Kate. "Which leads me to the breakthrough I've been looking forward to showing you. Take a look" she said handing the tablet over to Claire. The screen showed clips of all the times that Bridget had sneezed on other women duirng the "race".

"All those women look well, don't thay?" asked Kate.

"Of course. It would take some time before they start showing any symptoms" said Claire.

"Watch" said Kate. She fast forwarded each clip a little, no more than a few minutes, as the time stamps showed. When she played each clip again, all the women, without exception, were sneezing like crazy and showing clear signs of a bad cold.

"How is that possible?" asked Claire.

"An instant cold" said kate. "One of our most impressive breakthroughs. The cold germs lie dormant inside the guest's body, and can be triggered remotely anytime, causing the guest to immediately start showing symptoms of a cold".

"I still don't believe this" said Claire "it looks like a trick".

"I figured you might say that" said Kate "which is why I brought this" she reached into her pocket and pulled out what looked like a tiny remote control.

"You can't be serious" said Claire.

"Observe" said Kate and pushed the button.

"He Ishoo!" sneezed Claire. "Ei Tshoo, Hi Tshoo, He Ish Tshoo! What's Tshoo! happedig to He Itshoo! be?" she asked through her sneezing fit.

"I told you- instant cold" said Kate.

"So I have a cold id a bobedt, just like that? This cad't be He I Tshoo, Ha Ishoo, Ha Ish, Ish Tshoo!" sneezed Claire.

"Oh really? Take a look" said Kate, handing Claire a small mirror.

"Is by dose gettig red? How could this be? I odly just started Ishoo, He I Shoo! sdeezig, add I did't eved blow it" said Claire.

"The skin cells around your nose are also something we can have a little control over, just so no one would miss the obvious sign of sickness, in case they can look past the sneezes and the congested voice" said Kate.

"Haa Eshoo, Ishoo, Hi Tshoo! So dow what ab I supposed to do?" asked Claire.

"Enjoy your cold" said Kate. "Had you been a regular guest, you could have enjoyed it inside the park for some time, probably give it to a few other people while your at it, but since you're taking this special 'behind the scenes' tour, you'll go straight to the 'after party' and enjoy your cold in the comfort of the fine facilities we offer our guests there".

"Wait a bidute *sniff* did't you say I deed to have sobeode else's Haa Tshoo! cold gerbs id by He Ishoo! body for you to be able to trigger this cold rebotely?" asked Claire before taking a tissue offered to her by Kate and blowing her nose wetly.

"That's right" said Kate.

"But I've dever eved Hi Tshoo! beed idside the Tshoo! park, where all the Tishoo! sick people are, so who's cold did I He Tshoo! catch?" asked Claire.

Kate pressed a button on the remote control in her hand and- "Ha Eshoo, Hu Eshoo!" she sneezed strongly. "Bide" she said in a congested voice.

"Do way, you odly just got He Ishoo!" sick" said Claire.

"Oh I've beed sick sidce I led you out of our waitig roob He Ashoo!" sneezed Kate. "By sybptobs did't show udtil just dow, but you've beed breathig by gerbs through all of our hovercraft ride Ho Ashoo, Hu Eshoo, He HushUshoo"!

"So what will you do while I Ha Ishoo, He EshTshoo! joid by friedds add edjoy the 'after party' with theb?" asked Claire as the hovercraft landed.

"I'b godda Ha HaaaashShooShoo! take a few *sniff* sick days" said Kate. "I cad afford byself to do that dow. While you're at the 'after party', please codsider everythig I've showd you today. We'll be expectig to hear forb your cobpady sood. I hope to have busidess with you agaid id the future, Claire, if dothig else Ho Eshoo!" and with that loud sneeze, Kate turned around and left Claire alone.

The place where Claire found herself in was a hall, very similar to the entrance hall, except that all the women in the entrance hall were healthy, and this hall was full of sick women. She was soon joined by her friends, all with bad colds, and when they left the hall to enter the "after party" section, they did so while passing by a woman sitting by the desk. They noticed that it was the same woman who welcomed them all into the park when they waited in line for the waiting room. She clearly had a cold as well.

"Thadk you for visitig the park A Aa Aaa Choo!" sneezed the woman. "We hoped that you A Choo! edjoyed your stay add that you'll cobe visit us agaid sood Ha Ha A Choo!" Claire and her friends all bless the woman, and left her blowing her runny red nose.

The End

Or is it?

Yeah, that's right- I know I said we were done with the voting, but I decided bring it back one last time (and this time will definitely be the last). If you guys want me to, I could write another epilogue part about the "after party". Basically, it will feature the six friends being sick together, talking about their experiences and sneezing all over the place. So what do you say- do you want more of this group of sick women, or is it time to move on to something new?

1) We want more- describe the "after party".

2) It was fun while it lasted, but now it's time for something new.
