After what felt like three thousand scans, they were on the last test, the one where Six told Holiday what he saw in ink blots and Holiday monitored his brain activity.

"When's Rex going to wake up?" he asked.

"Soon. Six, I need you to focus," she told him for what felt like the millionth time. As attentive and patient as Six normally was, he was now distractible and impatient.

"How many blots are left?" he asked.

"This is the last one."

"It looks like ink," he said laying back in his seat and closing his eyes.

"I'm being serious Six. I need you to tell me what you think it looks like."

"Two trees fighting over a dog," he said without opening his eyes.

Holiday sighed and looked over her data. She felt like she was dealing with an actual teenager, and looking at Six's test results that would make sense.

"It looks like that spray didn't just affect your body; it also affected your brain. That's why you're acting so…" Holiday couldn't find a way to finish that sentence. Six came up next to her, looking at all the charts, graphs, and maps of his brain.

"So, I'm acting like a teenager and Rex is going to act like a toddler," he stated.

"Exactly, he's going to be even harder to take care of then he usually is," Holiday looked at Six, who was gazing out over the petting zoo.

"Six?" she asked, he jumped slightly before looking at her.

"I was just thinking," he said, his eyes not meeting hers. He seemed so… small and vulnerable.

"It's going to be ok. I'll send the data to Caesar. If we work together we'll have a cure for you in no time," Holiday said. She brushed Six's bangs out of his face and smiled at him. He met her eyes for a moment as his face turned pink. Then he pulled away quickly looking at his unshod feet and rubbing the back of his neck. He murmured something unintelligible as a harsh bark of laughter exploded behind Six,

"Good luck with the hormones, Green Bean," Bobo snickered. Loud sobs erupted from the examination table where a, now awake, Rex was sitting. Both Bobo and Six flinched. Bobo ran from the lab and Six wished that he could join the EVO chimpanzee.

"I still have to take care of him, don't I?" Six asked. Holiday only smiled.
