Seymour + Rosette "Headache"

Who: Seymour and Rosette
Where: Starbug, heading towards the fleet
When: After the ships had already set off
Two things were giving Seymour a headache. One was that before he had
left to join the Ffionian fleet he had been invited by one of the top
Ffionion diplomats to visit a very special opera and orchestral event.
This was great, Seymour would never ignore an invitation to go to such
a posh event. Unfortunately the vibrations from the Ffionian
instruments caused his eyes to almost rattle out of his head.
The second reason was that he was sharing a Starbug with Rosette.
As if she hadn't tormented him enough, she now had managed to miss
boarding one of the ships of the fleet when it launched and was now
annoying him.
Rosette munched on a packet of crisps very noisily. Each crunch made
Seymour's sensitive eardrums almost bleed. Seymour harrumphed in
annoyance.
"Do you have to eat those here? Can't you just go in the back and eat
them?"
Rosette stood firm. "But I'm scanning for anomalies."
"Can't you do it from the back?"
"No, the computer is here."
Seymour sighed and folded his arms in an overly-visual manor to show
his disgust.
He typed some commands into the computer and the ship changed
direction slightly.
"I thought we were supposed to go to Jay's ship?" Rosette asked.
"Yes I know, but I want to stop by Dr Keto's ship and get a doctor to
give me something for my headache."
"You WANT to see Keto?" She asked.
"No." Seymour retorted. "I want to just see a doctor, any will
suffice. As long as they're quiet anyway, my eardrums feel like they
are about to pop."
Rosette took the hint and sucked the last crisp quietly. Unfortunately
it got stuck in her throat and she coughed really loudly.
"Nyyuk!" Seymour cringed and covered his ears.
Minutes later they docked with the oversized ambulance.

Who: Seymour and Rosette
Where: Dr Keto's ship
When: After they docked
Seymour and Rosette were lead to a small waiting area on the ship by
an overly friendly male nurse dressed like batman who talked them
through the top 50 reasons why Batman is far superior to Superman.
Seymour sat down and immediately started whinging about the nurse who
lead them there. "I told him I had a headache, why did that make him
want to talk MORE?"
"I wonder." Rosette said cheekily.
"The doctor will see you now." Said a Ffionian receptionist, pointing
Seymour through a door.
"I'll wait here." Said Rosette.
"Good riddance!" said Seymour after the door shut behind him.
As he entered the room he was suddenly startled to see a mad Ffionian
(dressed like Batman of course) straddling a large drilling machine.
"Sit down, sit down, I hear you have a headache!" he said.
"Um… well."
"We'll soon have it fixed, sit down please."
The chair he was pointing to was right in front of the drill bit.
"I'm not sure this is…"
"Oh it's perfectly safe." Said the Ffionian `Doctor'.
Seymour sat and noticed the drill came to several inches from his
forehead. It started to spin and Seymour quickly stood up and backed
away from the machine. "Listen… can I speak to a Human doctor please?"
"Why?"
"I'd just feel more comfortable with a human doctor. Or… any human at
all."
"As you wish."
The Doctor pressed a button and seconds later Mini-Phil came waltzing
into the room swinging a stethoscope casually.
"This is Dr. M. Phil. He's training in Ffionian medicine."
Seymour hung his head in his hands. "We've met."
Mini Phil's expression turned to one of excitement as he saw Seymour
and leaped up onto his shoulders and instead of shining a light into
his ear, stuck a large megaphone.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Seymour collapsed.
