Biology, Period 3, 11/28

Elliot handed out a thick packet as the students walked in.

"Hi. Today is botany day, which I know you have all been out of your minds with excitement for. It is the scientific study of plantlife, from the structural level to their purpose in the universe. Today, you're going to be looking at the structures." She explained the structural components and physiology of plants, only blushing a little as she talked about plant reproduction.

"We did a kind of casual dissection last week -- and thanks for cooking turkey for everyone, Jamie, it was only sort of gross -- but this week you're going to do it more seriously."

Elliot started tossing large hibiscus blossoms and small apples at the students, wincing if any hit their marks. "I want you to pair up, and we'll walk through dissections of the flower and the fruit. You're going to be looking at, um, the reproductive structures and kind of comparing and contrasting them. Make sure to fill in your lab reports."

"See, now I feel like someone should come up with a recipe that does both," Willow said. "Because why not multitask and be on the safe side?"

"Good point. But what would you use to prevent possession? And what affect would that have on the taste of the turkey?" she pondered.

"Well, see, there's the challenge of it," Willow said. "But now I'm all curious. I bet there's a spell that could do both, depending on what flavors of herbs you liked."

"I'm partial to really spicy stuff myself, so I might not be the best person to ask," Isabel said. "Maybe we should practice on some chickens? We can make dinner in the common room for people one night and have a taste test."

"Good thought," Willow said. "Oo - maybe those little game hens? We could get a lot of tests in with those."

"I don't know. They're cute and all but they're pretty small. We might not get too many opinions before we run out of samples."

"Good point," Willow said. "Regular chickens it is then. Plus it's probably for the best we don't pick something that already looks like a puppet. It might skew the results otherwise."

"They are rather silly looking," Isabel agreed. "Speaking of silly looking, have you identified everything we're supposed to here? And would it be bad if I ate our lab specimen?"

"Yes, and in my opinion no," Willow replied with a smile. "In that order."

"Share?"

"Yes please," Willow said. "I'm interested in banishing doctors."

"Always good. And as far as I know, this isn't an enchanted apple. So we won't be falling asleep as soon as we take a bite," she grinned.

Willow grinned back. "If we do we can get waken up by our princes. However metahporical."

"And that would not be such a bad thing," Isabel said, glancing fondly at Greg ~~who will be there when the laundry's done~~.

"Not that we need excuses for the smoochies," Willow said.

"Nope, we've never needed any kind of excuse," she agreed. "We're just addicts."

"It's definitely a problem," Willow said, her eyes twinkling. "We'll have to see someone about it."

"But why?" Isabel asked plaintively as she reached for the hibiscus.

"I don't know," Willow shrugged. "More time for things other than smoochies? Like - " here she grinned " - more than smoochies?"

"That is true. The only thing better then smoochies is something more then smoochies," she said, blushing slightly.

Willow grinned and blushed too. "So... how 'bout that botany?"

Isabel chuckled and reached for the flower. "Yup, gee, how about it?"
