Bel got to the classroom early and was waiting for his fellow students when they arrived. He handed back the quizzes as they came in with the following grades:

Lyta Alexander B

When everyone had settled in, he said, "Dr. Grissom is still away, so today we'll be discussing the assignment I gave on Monday. Tell the class about a paranormal event that happened in your own world or at Fandom High, and how it was or could be explained away as something normal. Give me your written essay at the end of class."

"Where I come from they just kind of pretend it didn't happen. Which can get weird with so much strange stuff going on. It's like everyone refuses to mention the giant elephant in the living room in the hopes that if they ignore it it will just go away."

Lana turns in an essay about a kid who got turned into a giant human bug-thing due to bites from insects contaminated by meteor rocks and how he abducted her and wrapped her in a cocoon for some nefarious purpose (which she chooses not to mention). And how everyone in town just kind of pretended it hadn't happened.

Marty signs in, looking like death warmed over.

It doesn't keep him from shooting a dirty look at Bel before sitting down.

Marty relates the story of how Dr. Grissom scientifically explained Zombie Weekend (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/340973.html?thread=16382445#t16382445)

Angela tilts her head to one side. "Do you think they might actually not see it? I mean, something weird happens, but they can't deal with the weird part, so they just block it out?"

"I suppose. But his mother ended up dead and he left an aweful lot of destruction in his wake... And some of them have actually been caught on tape doing things. But overall, it's just not mentioned."

Angela writes a hundred words about a girl she met the Christmas before who seemed to be a ghost, and who actually told Angela's mom she was dead, and who very few people seemed to be able to see, but who lead her to be able to save some homeless kids before disappearing.

She still has no idea how to explain it other than the MSCL writers wanted a sappy Christmas episode.

Instead of participating in class, Marty chose to just give evil looks at the TA.

Lyta turns in an essay, discussing the death of Ambassador Kosh her mentor. She describes how, during her mentor's death, her mentor appeared to Captain Sheridan a mutual friend in his dreams. This friend retained a portion of the mentor's essence and the knowledge within this essence saved the friend's life. In the end, it wasn't completely covered up... but only a small group of people ever knew the full explanation.

"Sometimes cover isn't really necessary. Sometimes, you can just let the mind fill in the gaps, and it provides a better cover story than you could," Lyta said. "The mind can only handle so much reality before it starts...seeking out fanciful explanations."

Phoebe doesn't take part in the discussion. In fact, she never says a word.
