Fluffy and Miloval meet Genius or
Fluffy & Miloval + Genius = Chaos in the Lab.
Kavanagh brought Genius to the lab the next day.
Its stringy fur had been brushed but still looked stringy and its top knot had a rubber band around it.
If you put a lab coat on it, it might just look kind of like Kavanagh himself.
Kavanagh went over and sat Genius in the box with the other Tribbles.
Fluffy and Miloval were the only Tribbles in there because Rodney and Radek were the only ones working in the lab.
By now every lab had a special box to keep their Tribbles in. Each box had toys to keep them happy. Some were plain old baby playpens and some were marvels to behold.
The Tribble box in this room was a reinforced metal box with a lid to keep Fluffy and Miloval inside. They had proved quite adapt at escaping and getting into trouble.
When Dr. Kavanagh had put Genius in with them he had left the lid open.
Rodney noticed and yelled at Kavanagh to close it.
Dr. Kavanagh asked, "Why it needed a lid on it in the first place." "Were they afraid of their own Tribbles?"
"Not afraid of them, afraid of what they might get into." explained Radek.
"O.K., O.K." said Kavanagh, "I will close it."
But when he went over to close the lid he found the box empty!
"What did you do with my Tribble?" screamed Kavanagh.
"What did we do?" asked Rodney. "We are all the way over here, we did not do anything."
"Then it was your Tribbles!" Kavanagh shouted. "Where is Genius, what did they do with him?"
"Your Tribble is missing?" asked Radek.
"Duh, that's what I said and your Tribbles are gone too." said Kavanagh.
"Our Tribbles are gone?" Shouted Radek and Rodney at the same time. "Why didn't you say so right off?"
"Why does it matter?" asked Kavanagh. "The thing that matters is what have they done to my Genius?"
About that time they all heard pfft, flowed by a cloud of blue smoke over in the opposite corner of the room.
By the time they got over there the only thing there was a smoke bomb.
Then there was another pftt followed by a cloud of red smoke a few feet over.
Once again when they got there the Tribbles were gone.
What is going on here? Shouted Kavanagh, pulling at his hair.
Then they heard a noise heading away from them.
"All right we need to spread out and try to catch them," instructed Rodney.
The three scientists spread out Rodney went to the right, Radek went to the left and Kavanagh went through the middle of the room.
They heard Kavanagh say; "Aha! Got you!" Just as another pfft sounded and a yellow cloud went up and into Kavanagh' face.
Kavanagh rose up coughing holding Genius in his hands and had some of the color of the yellow smoke bomb cloud on his face and clothes. Genius was holding onto a lighter.
When Rodney and Radek came up to them they found Fluffy and Miloval in the floor, each with a smoke bomb.
"Where the heck did they get smoke bombs and how did they know how to use them?" asked Rodney.
"Remember yesterday when Dr. Lester was lighting smoke bombs and cherry bombs on the north pier?" asked Radek, "we were both there with our Tribbles."
"Yeah," said Rodney, "but how did the Tribbles get a hold of them?"
Radek said, "I saw Dr. Lester put the remaining ones in his desk drawer when we got back to the lab." "I had Miloval with me and she must have seen them too."
"Your Tribbles are juvenile delinquents and made my Genius help them!" yelled Kavanagh.
"From the looks of that lighter Genius is holding, your Tribble was the one lighting the smoke bombs." said Radek.
"They made him do it!" Kavanagh screamed.
"Yeah, sure they did," said Rodney as he put Fluffy and Miloval back into the box, minus the smoke bombs, and shut the lid.
"I'm taking Genius and going to another lab to work." said Kavanagh storming out of the room. Genius still had the lighter on him and something else sticking out of his fur.
Rodney and Radek looked at each other and Radek said, "Do we tell him what genius is holding?" "Nah, they said together."
A few minutes later they heard an explosion and a scream. When they went to look out they saw smoke coming out of the door of the lab Kavanagh had went to.
"Cherry bomb." said Rodney.
"Cherry bomb." said Radek.
