Chapter Text
Pomni lay on her bed staring at the roof. She wasn't feeling well so she decided to skip the theme song and possibly the whole day. She didn't want to deal with anyone today. She closed her eyes and turned to her side.
. . . . .
She turned over again. . . . And again. . . . And again. Ugh! She couldn't sleep.
She stood up and tried to make herself tired. She jumped around and danced and even banged her head on the wall. . . . No luck. She was wide awake. Annoyed, she hit her fist against the wall only hurting herself. "Ow!" She whined in pain and screamed into her pillow. She sighed and felt something.... her stomach was in so much pain. She clutches her stomach and rolls around on her colorful bed. "Uuuugggghhhh...!!!!" Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door, scaring her. It was Ragatha.
"H-Hey Pomni..! Are you awake..?"
Pomni sighed and went to open the door. She opened it slightly and Ragatha looked at her.
"Are you okay, Pomni?"
She smiles and nods.
"Yeah, my stomach just hurts a bit... I'm fine now."
Ragatha smiled.
"Well, if you want to.. you can come to the Digital dinner with us.."
Ragatha scooted over and revealed that Jax is standing behind her with his arms crossed.
Pomni smiled.
"S-Sure.. just give me a sec--"
Pomni closed the door and inside her room she took deep breathes and opened the door again.
"Let's go now."

When everyone was cleaning the table, Pomni took the time to talk to Caine.
"H-Hey Caine...?"
Caine, with a huge smile on his face, turned to her and practically yelled at her.
"Yes Pomni!!??"
She flinched a bit but continued to speak,
"Why does my stomach hurt so bad? Am I okay??"
Caine saw the worry on her face and pat her on the head.
"Of course you're okay! It's probably just a small bug. I can fix it in no time!"
Pomni smiled.
"Thanks Caine.."
As Caine left, Pomni walked over to Ragatha who was being annoyed by Jax. The small Jester held onto Ragatha's arms and the sudden touch made Ragatha look down.
"Everything alright, Pom?"
She didn't say anything she just rested her head on Ragatha's arm, her eyes closed.
Ragatha looked at Jax and he stopped annoying her. He knew Ragatha was about to start overreacting so he put his hand on her shoulder. Ragatha picked Pomni up and the trio went to her room. Jax unlocked her door and Ragatha put Pomni on her bed. The jester girl finally fell asleep.
***
Pomni was sleeping peacefully in her bed when she felt her insides twist and turn. She fluttered her eyes open and quickly stood up. She felt like she was gonna vomit. She quickly walked over to the bathroom, closed the door, and sat by the toilet. She lurched over and vomited. She leaned against the wall and panted. She flushed the toilet and carried herself over to the kitchen. She didn't see Jax and bumped into him.
"A-Ack! Jax?"
He looked down at her and gave her a light smile.
"Hey, Jester."
Pomni walked over to the sink and got a class of water. She took a small sip and gagged. Jax looked over at her.
"You okay?"
Pomni clutched her stomach and set the glass down.
"Uuugggghhhh-- nooo"
Jax held her shoulders.
"What's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts... and I vomited."
Jax picked her up.
"Let's go to your room."
Pomni let's him carry her, feeling comfortable. She cuddled him as he told her that Ragatha vomited earlier so it's probably a bug. Pomni nodded and when they arrived to Pomni's room, Jax set her down on her bed and tucked her in.
"Try to get some sleep."
Pomni nodded and turned over, closing her eyes. Jax walked off and closed the door.
She turned over. . . . . Again. . . . . . And again. . . . . . And again. . . . Great. Another restless night.
