Bowyetta’s vision was beginning to swirl, and she started to feel
dizzy. “Ahh… M-maybe you being right, Mr. Sir. Perhaps Bowyetta should
be speaking not of Susumu.”

The burning feeling disappeared, the
chill lessened, and Bowyetta sank back into the bed, leaving a small
trail of smoke as she went. In an attempt to calm her down, Vinny began
humming and began to brush his “tail” against her head, but quickly
pulled away when he felt how cold she was. “Bowyetta… Just eat
something, would you? You know what happens when you don’t…”

Bowyetta buried her face in the blanket again. “Bowyetta’s stomach is not feeling much good…”

Vinny
gave her an exasperated look, then turned back the the Repairman.
“You’ll have to excuse her, she is impossible sometimes… I’m sorry, I
know you don’t know much about Bowyers, but do you have anything that
might make her feel better?”

The Repairman nodded, glad that there might be less breaks around here.

That gladness quickly disappeared, however, as Bowyetta seemed to worsen.

“No, no, it’s fine, just…”

He looked to his left and produced a thumb-sized pill out of seemingly nowhere. The capsule was green and had, in tiny sans-serif print, a label that said “AJAX Stomach Soother”

“I mean, this works for us Toons,” he shrugged. “Don’t see why it wouldn’t work for her.”

He held the pill out to Bowyetta.

“Hey, um, could you take this?”
