Chapter 5 - Take Care

"Trace…r" He said faintly.

"Yah bud…RAFE!" Tracer saw that Rafe was about to faint. He rushed downstairs and panicked,"Alice….. Rafe-"and he was completely discharged. Alice turned towards Tracer and rushed to him… she was terribly worried about his brother! "What happened? Tracer ?Tracer!" But Tracer wasn't working at all! Mrs.Ractor saw everything. Alice turned to Mrs.Ractor. Both of them had the same worries on their faces. Suddenly, they heard a thud! It came from upstairs! Both of them rushed to Rafe's room and saw Rafe lying in front of his laptop! He fainted! But there was something twinkling on Rafe's screen which no one noticed! "RAFE!" Alice and her mum shouted. "I will call the doctor, you change Tracer's batteries! He can tell us what happened!" Mrs.Ractor instructed Alice. Mrs.Ractor called the doctor as soon as she could and Alice ran to Rafe's drawer to find some batteries for Tracer. She found none! The only things which were in the drawer were coding books and some really old comic books! Then she ran to Rafe's closet, she took out his pants and checked their pockets but, the pockets for empty too! Then she remembered what Rafe said this morning when she was in the hall! After all, her ears are really sharp! "I have some batteries charged up for you!" Alice thought! She knew what to do! She didn't need battery cells but she needed to charge Tracer's batteries. She rushed downstairs and took out Tracer's batteries, but then she heard Mrs.Ractor speaking on the phone…"But please… my son suddenly fainted!!! I called 5 doctors but all of them are busy! Please help me! OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Thank you!". Alice knew her mom was terribly worried about Rafe just like her! She ran upstairs to Rafe's room and went to the socket. As, she thought! The super-fast charger (which Rafe made) was already plugged in the socket. She quickly charged up the batteries and ran downstairs. Mrs.Ractor was bringing cold water and a cloth to put on Rafe's forehead till the time the doctor arrived. Mrs.Ractor carefully climbed the stairs. Alice inserted the batteries back in Tracer.

"-has almost fainted!" Tracer continued. "Oh, I guess you already know!"

"What happened?!" Alice asked.

"I don't know! Everything was fine, then Rafe said in a low voice… "Trace…r" and that's all!" Tracer explained.

"Come on, let's go upstairs!" Alice said. Alice ran upstairs and Tracer followed her. They saw that Mrs.Ractor had already tugged Rafe in his bed. His cheeks were Tomato Red and he was taking deep breathes, but his eyes were still closed. They saw that Mrs.Ractor was keeping the cloth on Rafe's forehead after soaking it in the cold water.

"What's his temperature?" Alice asked. "He seems really sick!"

Tracer kept his hand in Rafe's forehead and his arms turned green then yellow and then red! "It 102.8 ." He said.

"Don't worry! The doctor will be here soon!" Mrs.Ractor tried to calm down Alice. DING-DONG! The doorbell rang and Alice ran downstairs to open it. The others could hear many footsteps approaching towards them. Alice opened the door and they could see the doctor with her.

"Oh Doctor, thank you so much for coming!" Mrs.Ractor thanked heartedly.

"You are welcome miss! Oh! This kid looks terribly sick! What is his temperature?" The Doctor asked staring at Rafe.

These words made Alice more worried! She ran to her mum.

"Its 102.8 Doctor." Tracer said.

"Oh! Thank you robot!" The doctor was truly amazed with Tracer. "What's his age?"

" He is 12" Tracer answered.

"Oh! By the way who created you?" the doctor asked.

"Rafe" This time Alice answered.

"I am sorry?" The doctor asked once again.

"Rafe my brother. Him!" Alice said pointing towards Rafe.

"Are you his twin sister?" The doctor asked once more. Tracer and Mrs.Ractor where really annoyed with his questions. But, Alice calmly replied before they could speak…"Yes, now without wasting time can you look at him, please?"

"Oh! Yes! Sure! I am sorry" Said the doctor and he went to Rafe. "Hmmm… It's a good thing that you kept a wet cloth on his forehead. So, as on call you told me that he fainted. Was he tired?" The doctor asked but no one was irritated this time.

"I guess so, he was working on the laptop since 2 hours, plus he was crying a lot!" Tracer answered.

"Oh! My! My! Then he must rest! I am giving him a pill right now! If he gets fever or has a headache give him this pill! He will be fine in 3 days" The doctor passed Mrs.Ractor a pouch of pills.

"Ugh…Ugh" Rafe slowly murmured. He slowly opened his eyes. "Dad?" He said, thinking that the doctor was his dad. The doctor laughed. "Hahaha! I am not your dad child! I am a doctor!.

"Oh I am sorry doctor! My head is still spinning! Wait a minute, what happened?" Rafe said in a low voice.
