I can't believe I can't go to school today

I have a math test I was looking forward to

Don't worry Stacie

I'm sure Principal Daquino will let you take the test when you get back

but for now you need to concentrate on getting better

This means plenty of rest, sleep and lots of cuddles...

And of course some of your favourite treats to get you through

Poor Stacie

She looks like she's in a bad way

All covered in itchy spots

Let me know if you need anything Stacie

Just ring the bell and one of us will be here

in no time to help you

I can stay home and take care of her if you're busy

No

I think it might be best to stay away from Stacie

just to be safe

Come on Chelsea, you need to get ready for school

I've got so much to do today

I thought I might bake Stacie some cup cakes

Then rent out some movies

Then maybe even get her a little surprise to cheer her up

(Ding!)

Actually Barbie

I don't feel so good

Can we go back home?

Ugggh, uuuugghh....

I feel warm

Maybe I have a fever

Nice try Chelsea

Now scoot to class

Now let me see

Where are those Crayons?

I'll show them who's sick!

Now settle down class

The bell's gone!

Let's open our text books to page five

Can anyone tell me where we left off?

Yes Chelsea

I think we were counting by tens last time

Good! Thanks Chel...

Chelsea!

Are you ok?

You seem to be covered in spots

Really?

Are you sure?

That's strange

I think I feel ok

He, he, he...

Perfect!

Looks like she fell for it

Let's not take any chances

Go to the office

and I'll call your sister to come and pick you up

Oh...

Ok

If you think it's best Miss

Sorry Chelsea

I should have believed you when you said you weren't well

That's ok!

He! He! He!

What was that you said?

(Cough! Cough! Cough!)

Sorry, bit of a sore throat

Let's get you home and into bed

If you think that's best

Yes!

Wheeeee!

(Cough! Cough! Cough!)

Do you want to rest in your room

Or come out and watch some TV?

Yeah!!!

I'm gonna watch some TV

I'm gonna watch some TV!

I'm mean

(Cough! Cough! Cough!)

Yes

I think tv might help distract me from the itching

There you go

Now I've got a lot of things to do so I'll give you this bell

in case you need anything urgently

(Ringing)

Okay!

What's urgent little sis?

These spots seem to have made me hungry

Do we have any food, like say...cake?

Well I did make some for Stacie

So I guess you can share

(Ringing)

Barbie, can I please have a milkshake too?

And don't be too stingy with the chocolate

(Ringing)

Yes Chelsea

What's wrong?

My nose is itchy

Can you give it a rub?

(Ringing)

Can I have a hot chocolate?

(Ringing)

With marshmallows please!

(Ringing)

I think I need to go to the bathroom

Can you carry me?

(Ringing)

Ooh...would you believe I'm hungry again?

Popcorn please...

This is very odd

I haven't heard a peep from Stacie today

but you're out of control!

I think we need to get a doctor to take a look at you!

Something isn't quite right

Ahhh... I think it's best I stay here

We don't want it getting any worse!

No, let's go to Doctor Walker and get you checked out

Actually, I think I'm feeling a little better all of a sudden!

Come on

Oh ohhhhh!

Well no need to tell me what's wrong here!

Looks like a case of the chicken pox, doesn’t it

Yep! We thought so too doc

Thanks for seeing us

Bye for now

Not so fast

How about you open your mouth wide and say Ahhhh

Ahh!

Okay

This time, try to open your mouth when you say Ahhhh

Ahhhhhhhhh

No!

I mean...

Nevermind

Let's have a closer look at those spots

Chelsea Roberts...can you please sit still!

Hmmmm...

Interesting

Barbie can I see you outside?

Barbie

I have a feeling you may need to get Chelsea a new red crayon for school?

Huh?

Okay

If you say so

But what does that have to do with her being sick?

Because it looks like she's used a whole crayon

to put those spots all over her body

Are you serious?

Oh that girl!

She is in so much trouble!

(Ding)

Actually, I have an idea

Ok Chelsea

I just need to give you some medicine

And then you'll be on your way

Ok Doctor

(Cough, Cough)

Now put you left arm out please

Sure thing

Why do you need me to...

Who's that for?

Why it's for you silly...

Only one way to clear up those spots

But but but...

Don’t be scared I'm right here

Ahhh...I feel better now Barbie, let's go!

Chelsea, what's the rush?

You're obviously unwell

Maybe it's not the chicken pox?

I really think I'm getting better!

Huh hmmmm!

Anything you'd like to tell us Chelsea?

Ummmm...

I love you Barbie

Nice try little girl!

Do the words grounded mean anything to you?

I'm sorry

I really just wanted some time off school...

My bad!

I didn't mean to cause any trouble...

Well not this time

Sorry Doctor

We didn't mean to waste you're time

Chelsea, do you have anything to say to Doctor Walker?

I'm sorry Doctor

Barbie didn't mean to waste your time

CHELSEA!!!
