Library [07/14]

Dinosaurs were not part of the craze in her timestream where people brought extinct animals back through cloning. Thursday, however, had dealt with dinosaurs in her time inside fiction and didn't particularly feel like trying to negotiate with sharp teeth this time. So she packed up Friday and Pickwick, locked up the house, left a note for her housemates letting them know what was going on and where she was going and headed to the library. Friday would have been out of there and off to Mrs Bradshaw's in as much time as it takes to say 'I was in a long, dark, wood-panelled corridor', but the BookWorld was dealing with its own problems right now.

Fairly certain that the dinosaurs wouldn't be able to read, Thursday closed the doors up and put a note on the front saying 'open, knock or shout first', put Friday, his toys and Pickwick down where she could see them and set about trying to find out how exactly dinosaurs had shown up overnight without a fuss and how to get them to go away again.

"I guess I can see that," Dawn admitted reluctantly, "but that doesn't mean I'm not going to see a doctor when I'm sick, because that's even sillier."

"Good luck being sciencey. I hope it's your turn this time--the mystical stuff gets a little boring after a while."

"Unfortunately, we do have to rely on the quacks. But that doesn't mean I have to like it." Honestly, Rodney would go see the doctor for a splinter and complain the entire time. You never knew when those things could become infected and life threatening.

"I can't imagine this stuff ever getting boring."

"You could always go to med school," she suggested, just to see the reaction, "and it can. Turns out that a lot of the time, someone's read something out loud that they shouldn't have, or done a spell, or opened a portal to another dimension, and you have to fight whatever comes through, or just ride it out."

Dawn grinned. "Kinda reminds me of home, actually."
