Felix wears a blue hoodie over a striped shirt in front of a building with text that reads, tvokids presents.

Felix asks, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

In a window of the building, Annie wears a pink dress.

Annie says, YES AND HE'S A MOUSE.

In a window above Annie, Dr. Cheddar wears a stethoscope. He waves.

A narrator says, YOU’LL FEEL BETTER WITH DR. CHEDDAR.

Text on the building reads, Dr. Cheddar.

[Bright music plays]

In his office, Dr. Cheddar walks over to his desk. A plant’s flowers have a yellow colour to them. They look droopy and dry. Fallen flowers lie on the desk.

Dr. Cheddar sings, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA…

He pauses and looks at the plant.

He says, OH. HMM.
I REALLY MUST WATER THESE
MORE OFTEN.

[Dr. Cheddar chuckling]

[Ringing]

Dr. Cheddar says, OH!

He answers a call on his tablet.

He says, DR. CHEDDAR HERE TO
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.

In a video call, Felix says, HI DR. CHEDDAR.

He speaks slowly. He sounds ill.

Dr. Cheddar says, FELIX, YOU DON'T
SOUND SO GOOD.
ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?

Felix says, I FEEL FINE…FINE…

[Felix sneezing]

Felix says, …FINE.

Annie looks at Felix.

She says, YUCK.

Dr. Cheddar says, I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT
A SPOT OF THE FLU.

Annie says, BUT, BUT, BUT WE WERE GONNA GO
OUTSIDE AND PLAY SOCCER.

Dr. Cheddar says, I'M SORRY, BUT UNTIL
HE'S FEELING BETTER,
I'M PUTTING FELIX ON
BEDREST STARTING NOW.

Felix says, MAYBE A NAP IS A GOOD
ID…ID..

[Felix sneezing loudly]

Felix says, …IDEA.

Dr. Cheddar says, RIGHT THEN.

He waves his hand.

He says, OFF YOU GO FELIX.

Felix leaves the call. Annie looks shocked.

She says, BUT DR. CHEDDAR,
WHAT ABOUT ME?

[Annie groaning]

Annie says, UGH. I'M GONNA BE SO
BORED ALL BY MYSELF.

[Dr. Cheddar chuckling]

Dr. Cheddar says, YOU'LL
BE OKAY, ANNIE.
I'LL CALL BACK IN A LITTLE
BIT TO CHECK ON OUR PATIENT.
BYE NOW.

He ends the call.

[Annie groaning loudly]

Annie looks in a mirror.

She says, ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, GO.

Annie holds up two fingers.

She groans, OH, SCISSORS AGAIN? UGH.

Annie walks away from the mirror. Elsewhere in the house, she faces a wall.

She says, 100. READY OR NOT? HERE I COME!

Annie walks away from the wall. She pauses.

She groans, AWW.

Annie blows her hair off her face.

She says, YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE.

[Annie sighing]

In his office, Dr. Cheddar says, AND HOW IS OUR PATIENT?

In a video call, Annie groans, STILL SLEEPING.

Blocks are stacked on a table.

Annie says, AND I'M STILL BORED.
ALL OF MY FAVORITE GAMES
NEED TWO PEOPLE TO PLAY.

Dr. Cheddar says, WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO THINK
OF SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO
FOR FELIX INSTEAD OF WITH FELIX, HMM?
IT MIGHT JUST HELPX
LIFT HIS SPIRITS.

Annie says, AND HE'LL GET BETTER FASTER?
OKAY, IT'S WORTH A SHOT, DR. C.

Later, Dr. Cheddar’s plant’s flowers are a brighter white colour and stand upright.

Dr. Cheddar says, LOOKING MUCH BETTER NOW.

[Ringing]

Dr. Cheddar looks startled.

He says, OH!

He answers a call. In a video call, Felix stands beside Annie.

Felix says, HI DR. C!

Dr. Cheddar says, FELIX. MY, YOU'RE
SOUNDING HEALTHIER ALREADY!

Felix says, I JUST NEEDED SOME REST.

Annie says, AND I HELPED BY
MAKING HIM THIS.

She shows Dr. Cheddar drawings of her and Felix. Stickers and butterflies decorate the drawings.

Dr. Cheddar says, A GET WELL SOON
CARD. OH, HOW SWEET.

Annie asks, READY FOR SOME SOCCER?

Felix says, COOL, RACE YOU TO THE NET.
GOODBYE, DR. CHEDDAR!

Annie says, BYE-BYE!

Dr. Cheddar ends the call.

He says, UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'M DR.
CHEDDAR. HOPING YOU FEEL BETTER
ABOUT HELPING YOUR
FRIENDS STAY HEALTHY.

[Soft music plays]

Felix, Dr. Cheddar and Annie watch fireworks go off in the sky at night.

They say, WOAH!

Dr. Cheddar says, WOW, LOVELY.
