"Eeuw!"

"Cool!"

Willow stared at her friend Xander with amazement and horror. "What d'you mean, 'cool'?"

Xander carefully picked up their science project and held it up to Willow's face. "Hi, Will," he squeaked out. "My name is Jeremiah."

"Xander, stop it!"

He grinned toothily and waggled the dead frog's forearm. "Look, Will, he's waving."

Willow pouted. "That's gross, Xander. Stop it!"

Instead of backing off as any gentleman would do, the seven-year-old Xander hopped forward. "Ribbit! Ribbit!"

Willow eyed her friend and the frog warily for a few moments, trying to be brave.

"Ribbit!" Xander came within a foot of Willow and thrust his arm up, waving the frog directly under her nose.

"AAAGGGHHH!!"

"Will?" Xander stared at her red pigtails as she ran down the street.

The End.
