Third Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

It was with great seriousness that Zachary Uriah Addy made his way to the common room, dragging a cart piled almost as high as he was with books and pieces of lab equipment behind him.

While most kids believed the weekend was a time for cartoons, he knew it was also a time for SCIENCE!

After turning on the television, Zack sat next to his cart, opened a book and began to assemble...something...

[Open as common rooms are.]

Turtle nodded, finding this acceptable, because she knew she wouldn't have a problem remembering that the girl with the crazy neato hair owed her a nickel. Though she did wish she had a notebook on her to write it down. One should always track their loans carefully

"I'm Mel," she said as she stuffed her face. "What's yours?"

"Turtle!"

"Turtle? Like the thing with the shell?"

"Uh-huh," Turtle said, with a slight glint in her eyes that told Mell that is she had a problem with that, she was going to so get kicked.

"Why do people call you that?" Mel asked scratching her head.

"My sister started calling me that," Turtle shrugged. "'Cause she thinks I look like one. An' it's better than my real name, which is icky, icky, icky." So icky, in fact, that it earned both a nose wrinkle and her tongue sticking out.

"What's your real name?" Mel asked curiously.

"I'm not telling you that!" Turtle gasped. "It's too icky!"
