Paleontology, April 5th (7th Period)

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

There's a note taped to the door of the Paleo classroom.

Class is in the Danger Shop today.



Near the entrance to the shop are buckets of... well, nuts and bolts, mixed with raw hamburger meat. There are also rubber gloves. One bucket and one pair of gloves per student.

In a cage on the opposite side of the room? Three velociraptors. Or, at least, they *look* like velociraptors. If raptors were robots painted in primary colours.

The red and yellow ones are currently watching everything intently, while the blue one paces back and forth.

"Today's assignment, guys? Feed the raptors. I need you to make sure they eat everything in the bucket there."

"Before you ask? They won't bite," he says, glaring at the raptors, "because they know they'll be in trouble if they hurt anyone."

He looks back at the students. "Any questions?"

He shrugged. "Wasn't your fault. The plan was bad. Cam explained your powers and all that, and I knew we should've arranged something different. I was impatient and that's what blew it."

"Well, I still feel bad for doing something as stupid as tripping." Molly gave him a significant look. "If I ever found myself in a similar situation, I would be a lot more careful."

He nodded and tossed a ball of bolts and meat to one of the raptors. "Doesn't matter. He'll get what's coming to him."

Molly had no clue what the guy had done to begin with so she just nodded and went back to feeding the raptors.

"These things are pretty weird, huh?" He nodded at the raptors. "Like in that movie, Triassic Gardens."

Molly grinned. "They remind me of Old Lace." She turned to explain to Charlie. "My friend Gert has a genetically engineered dinosaur that is telepathically linked to her. It's a deinonychus, but the velociraptors in that movie look almost like her."

"Your friend has a real live dinosaur? Wow. That's pretty...yeah, cool." He grinned. "Sam programmed this baby bronto in Shop for me and now it follows me around during class. His name's Denver."

"Hee! That's so cute!"

"He keeps drooling on my shoes, but yeah," Kawalsky nodded. "He's pretty cute."

"Why did you need a baby brontosaurus for Shop class anyway?"

"I was being a smartass," Charlie admitted. "We had to swap something in our survival kits with something else, anything else. So I asked for a dinosaur so I could have a nice bronto burger. Sam programmed a baby bronto with big puppy dog-like eyes so I couldn't eat it."

Molly laughed. A lot. "Sam wins," she finally said when she was able to stop laughing.

He nodded. "Sam definitely wins. So now I've got no food in class and a new holographic pet. Only in Fandom, huh?"

"Only in Fandom," Molly agreed with a grin.
