Shay scoffed, "I won't spit it out. After all, how bad could it be?" Shay took a drink and nearly gagged. True to her wordk, she didn't spit it out. "Yuck! How can you drink this stuff? It tastes really nasty!"

Ari shrugged. "Years of drinking it, I guess. Although, I never minded the taste." She smiled evilly. "But now that you've started, you're not allowed to stop. No waste, remember?"

Shay shrugged, "Oh, no, I won't stop. I need this stuff if I'm gonna survived today." Shay took another big gulp and choaked it down. "See," she gagged, "It's really...good...Yumm..." Shay finished her cup quickly and without any other comments.
*Time Jump*
It was just after midday and it was cursed hot. Shay yawned, she was bored, bored, board, BOARD! It was so hot and boring that Shay almost missed her lessons with Niko.

The heat was starting to get to Ari and she was feeling weak. Heat was not her best friend. In fact, it was one of her worst enemies. The day in general didn't seem to like her. At least Shay seemed to be doing fine. "Ooooh..." she said softly as the room started to swirl a little bit. "I think I'm going to stop standing now." She slumped onto the floor, out cold.

Shay continued to work for another half hour before Niko came to check on them. Even whe she knew he was out she continued to work deciding to ignore him. This would have worked fine if he hadn't gotten her way causing her to drop her armfull of weeds. "Now look what you've done," she said exasperated, "now I have to pick them all up again. What?" Niko was staring at her funny, and she didn't like it.
"Shaque," he said with deadly calm.
"What?" Shay asked distractedly as she picked up her weeds.
"Did you know Ari is laying on the ground unconcious?"
"No, I guess I didn't...should I be concerned?"
Niko lost it. "Of course you should be concerned! Why wouldn't you be conrerned? I mean, after all, she is your housemate! Honestly, Shay, I thought you cared more than this!!!"
Shay patiently wiated for him to finish before saying, "Are you done yet? I need to get back to my weeding."
"BUT WHAT ABOUT ARI!!!" he shouted angrily, "She can't just lay there unconcious!"
"Oh, that," Shay said waving her hand dismissively, "she'll wake up...eventually."
"But...but...something should be done!" Niko said incredulously.
"Then I suggest you do something. Now, leave me alone. I still have weeding to do before I can be done." With that she walked off to finish her weeding leeving Niko to deal with Ari.

Ari woke up in her bed with a slight headache. What had just happened? She remembered being hot...and then she had passed out. Oh, ok. That made sense. She did that sometimes when she was hot. She was surprised that she was in her bed. She knew that Shay would have just left her there. Her housemate, Rosethorn, and Lark had panicked at first, but then they grew used to the episodes, just as everybody else did.
"Oh, you're awake!" Niko. That explained a lot. He was the only one who never seemed to be around when she passed out.
"Yes. I'm awake. And I'm fine. Now go away."

Shay saw Niko walk out of Ari's room with a surprised and hurt expression on his face. "She kicked me out," he said sounding stunned. "She kicked me out after I brought her inside amd made sure she was ok." Shay looked up from her dinner at the table and said, "I told you to leave her. Now will you listen to me? Even Rosethorn told you she'd be fine and to leave her." Shay went back to her meal as Niko droped into the bench across from her. "I just thought you'd care more is all," he said with a sigh. Shay ignored him, they'd had this conversation at least ten times over the course of the afternoon and evning. A few moments passed in silence while Shay finished her food. "I should probably see if Ari's hungry..." Shay trailed off and got up. With a deep breath she said, "Wish me luck..." She went into Ari's room and said carefully, "Ari are you hungry?"
