Anna has cake.

This is good.

Anna has a book entitled Fifty Nifty Science Fair Projects.

This is also good.

Anna has a pad for taking notes and writing down Ideas.

This, too, good.

Anna has forgotten to get a pencil.

This is . . . not good.

"Oh, no," Jools says, shaking his head. "Guppy's also helping me get registered with a GP. It's kinda hard."

[hear_the_voices]

"Who's Guppy? And what's a GP?"

Details, please.

[ohnoitsjools]

"He's that nice doctor here," Jools says.

Then he shrugs. "And... I don't know."

[hear_the_voices]

Anna makes a mental note: There is a nice doctor. Names after a fish.

"Then why do you want to register with one?"

[ohnoitsjools]

Jools thinks about that.

"Because Guppy said I should."

He scratches his head.

[hear_the_voices]

"Oh."

Anna considers this.

"Well, okay, then."

If Guppy is a doctor, he's probably smart. And smart people have good ideas, right?

[ohnoitsjools]

"Yes," Jools agrees. "Exactly."

Yeah, he has no idea what this conversation is about any more.

[hear_the_voices]

Neither does Anna!

Something they have in common.

Then again, Anna never met a segue she needed.

"I am going to do a science fair project."

[ohnoitsjools]

Only difference is Jools never knows what's going on.

"Oh, what's that?" he asks.

[hear_the_voices]

"Well, we have a science fair every year at school. And everyone gets to do a project, where you come up with an experiment and have a theory and do tests and then you create a display all about that you learned and we put all the displays on top of the tables in the cafeteria and if you have the best one, you get a ribbon. Oh, and you have to write a report, too.

"So I have to figure out what kind of experiment I want to do this year."
