17 September 2003 - I don't like this...

Michelle

Zac and Isaac

Diana felt Zac's forehead.

"I don't like this..." she said. "He's burning up."

"I'm fine, Mom, really."

"You're not fine. I think we should call off -"

"I can live through two more shows!"

"I'm not sure that you can. The healer couldn't do anything."

"Healer couldn't do anything for you and you can still go about you daily life."

Zac then had to reach for another tissue and blow his nose.

"It's just your nose running, isn't it?" Isaac said.

Zac nodded.

"Hasn't effected my vocal chords that I can tell."

"He has a fevor," Diana said firmly.

"So I'll drink more water. And have cold showers. Please Mom, I can last two more shows. Just two more..."

"I don't know..."

"Can't you use your powers, Zac?" Isaac asked.

"Well, see this is the thing... Mom reckons I have a temperature... but unlike humans when they have a temperature i'm hardly sweating or anything. So I think my power is helping."

"That's something. Mom, if we were human, I'd be 100% behind you. But it is only two more shows and if Zac's power is helping him and he thinks he can get through it, then I say let him. If he makes a turn for the worse, we can still call it off, but we have tomorrows concert and Friday's. It would be a shame to call them off, and if worst comes to worst, I be we can con Ash into playing the impersonator for us," Isaac said.

Diana pursed her lips.

"Fine," she said at last. "But please, Zac, please if you think you can't do it, just say so okay? There's no point in making whatever this is worse."

Zac nodded.
