~Slime in Dana's apartment/ Sickness
Ray, Egon, and the girls were still doing ground work with the mood slime, both Ray and Camila still work on the slime while Egon works on the slime gun and Charli do some research on the painting that Peter explained.
While working on the slime with Ray, Egon walk over to the two. "Camila."
"Yes, Spengler?" Camila ask while looking up to him.
"Have you seen Charli?" he ask with slight worry in his voice.
"Yeah, she's in the bathroom, why?"
"She's been in there for ten minutes now." He said while fixing the slime gun, Camila got up from her seat and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure that she'll be fine, she's Charli after all." she softly said to him.
Right on cue, Charli walk into the lab. Her face was wet as well as a few strands of her hair was too, wet. She walk over and grab a paper towel and patted her face, "You okay, baby girl?" Camila ask.
Charli look at the three and nodded, "Just need to wash my face that's all." she replied with a smile.
Egon walk over to her and stroke her back, "Are you sure?" he ask. She nodded, and then threw the paper towel into the trash. To tell the truth, Charli wasn't sure that she's okay or not. Ever since yesterday, she wasn't feeling like herself at all.
"Spengler, girls major slime related psychokinetic event." Ray said to the three.
"What happened?" Egon ask nonchalantly, while working on the slime gun.
"Something came out of Dana's bathtub, tried to grab her and the baby." Ray explained, the girls gasp softly while Egon's eye widen in fear.
"Are they alright?" Charli ask.
"Yeah, she got out of there and went over to Venkman's." Ray replied to her.
"This is interesting, you three. Remember that painting Venkman mentioned? Well, Charli and I ran the name 'Vigo the Carpathian' through the Occult Reference Net. Look what came up." Egon explained while pulling up and article about Vigo.
"Jesus, that's an ugly history." Camila said.
"Do you think there's a connection between this Vigo character and the-" Ray look over to the slime to see it bubbles "slime?"
"Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?" Egon ask.
"He's right, we gotta go over to Dana's." Charli said as the three grabbed their coats.
"It might be a good idea to go to the museum in the morning and get a look at that painting." Egon said as he helped Charli with her coats.

The three examine Dana's apartment only to find nothing out of the ordinary, well except for leftover slime on the bathtub. "Did you guys find anything?" Charli ask Ray and Camila.
"Not really, aside from the leftover slime in the bathroom." Camila said.
The three walk out of the Dana's apartment, Charli felt a wave in her stomach. She run towards the bathroom and emptied her stomach in the toilet, she felt someone grab her hair and then stroke her back. Once she's done she look over to see it was Egon, she was too weak to stand up. "Come on, let's get outta here." he said while picking her up in his arms and walk out of Dana's apartment.
~~~
The next day Charli wasn't feeling well at all, she's mostly stayed in bed, she's sweating, cramping like crazy. Egon mostly stayed with her, but he mostly work while treating her.
Around 2pm Egon walk into the sleeping quarters to check on Charli who's been asleep since 4am since she couldn't sleep through the night due to mysterious pain in the stomach, he knelt down and gently grab her hand and stroke it.
Charli eyes flutter open to see Egon, she smile and sighed pleasantly at the feeling of Egon stroking her hand. "Charli, you gotta wake up." he said softly, she sigh and nodded. She slowly got up and clutched onto her stomach where she felt a cramp, Egon remove his hand from hers and put it on her chest indicating for her to lie back down.
Egon look at her before standing up and went into the bathroom for a minute, Charli watches him go into the bathroom and come back with a wet rag. He sat down on the bed and place it on her forehead before taking her temperature with a thermometer, after a few minutes he check her temperature and found out its....normal.
"Strange, your temperature its normal." he said looking at Charli then back at the thermometer.
"That is strange." Charli said with nervousness in her voice, she sit up and watches her boyfriend.
"Yes, it is." he said, he took his handkerchief and wipes the thermometer before putting the cap on. Charli sigh and flopped back onto the pillow, Egon got up and put the thermometer back to its original place.
Egon walks back to Charli and knelt down beside her "Until I figure out what's happening to you, try to stay in bed." he said to her, Charli thought for a moment and nodded.
Egon tuck few strands of her brunette hair with the still ombre ever since five years ago, behind her ear and kiss her temple and then her lips. The kiss was slow and chaste, after two minutes of kissing one another he broke the kiss and saw Charli smile and fell back to sleep.
Egon grabbed his blanket and place it on her and tucking it at the corners, he smiled and went out before looking at Charli one last time.
A/N: Enjoy, what do you think is wrong with Charli??
