Audrey's Cold

Episode**Gallery****Transcript**

**Audrey's Cold** is a fan-made episode of *Harvey Girls Forever!*.

## Summary

Audrey tries to avoid seeing the doctor when she catches a cold. It doesn't end well, especially not with Lotta playing doctor and Dot trying to intervene.

## Plot

One night, Audrey awakens after a dream and decides to get a midnight snack. She manages to go to the kitchen and prepare a sandwich without getting caught by Zoe, but before she can eat it, she falls asleep, leaving the refrigerator open in the process. The next morning, she is extremely cold; in fact, she has caught a cold. As Zoe acknowledges this, however, Audrey denies being sick, although a few sneezes prove her otherwise.

When she goes to "run this street," Lucretia and Tiny are concerned about her health, but she keeps up the lie. They advise her to go home, but instead she goes to the Harvey Girls' trailer, where she calls Dot and asks her to take her to the doctor. Before Audrey leaves, however, Lotta arrives at the trailer; when Audrey explains the situation to her, Lotta tells her a story about someone who went to the doctor, which makes Audrey scared. She asks Lotta to take care of her in lieu of the doctor, and she agrees. However, her main method of "curing" her involves inserting corks into Audrey's nostrils; she still sneezes and begins to grow in size from the pressure of the corks, but ostensibly doesn't spread any more germs.

Lotta then calls Dot to tell her that Audrey no longer has to go to the doctor, but Dot isn't fooled and decides to come over. Lotta then tries various strange methods of curing Audrey's cold, but none of them work. When Dot arrives, Audrey and Lotta try to convince her that Audrey isn't sick, but she continues to grow in size from her stifled sneezes. When Dot finally decides to bring her to the doctor, an argument between Dot and Lotta ensues, and Audrey ends up rolling down the street. She manages to stop before she hits Harvey Street, but then she sneezes strongly enough to blow the corks out of her nostrils, spraying everyone with her mucus.

After the massive sneeze, Dot and Lotta bring Audrey to a real doctor. After he diagnoses her illness, he calls Nurse Mia, who gives Audrey a relaxing treatment that involves giving her a massage, tickling her a bit, having her use a tissue that is said to have lotion and menthol, and giving her a mug of warm liquid that relieves her throat. After this, Audrey is feeling much better, and she receives a lollipop from the nurse.

Not long after this, however, Dot and Lotta begin to sneeze, indicating that they have caught Audrey's cold. The doctor agrees to let Nurse Mia treat them, but the massages she gives them are "far rougher" than the one Audrey received. The story ends with Audrey and the doctor watching this happen and laughing in amusement.

## Trivia

* The plot of the episode is based on the SpongeBob Squarepants episode, "Suds." Both episodes involve a character getting sick and trying to resist going to the doctor with help from one of their friends, but in the end the sick character goes anyway and subsequently recovers from their illness. One of the main differences, however, is that in this episode, Dot and Lotta came down with the illness for real, while in "Suds," Patrick only pretended to come down with the illness.
* The idea of creating ice cream cones made of potato chips was brought up at least twice in this episode. The first time it was brought up in Harvey Street Kids was in the season 1 episode, "While You Weren't Sleeping."
* When Lucretia reacts to Audrey rolling toward Harvey Street, she cries, "Sweet Princess Peach!" This is a reference to the character Princess Peach from the Super Mario franchise.
