Say Bye to the Frog
Naming .


I am so glad we're outta there!

I don't know, I kinda liked it.

Matt stopped walking. But it was muddy and wet and stinky and––

Stinky? Where'd ya get that from? How was it stinky? Tai asked.

It smelled like nature...

Your point?

Nature smells gross! Matt exclaimed.

Tai shook his head. Now what do we do?

Well we take the frog we caught, Matt explained, glancing at Tai, and we do experiments and other–Tai, where's the frog?

He's right here, Tai replied, holding up the cage proudly. Right in... here... He frowned when there was no frog inside.

Where did it go? Matt shrieked, looking around. Tai! We need that frog for our biology project!

Calm down. Let's just go back and get another one.

Matt groaned. We wasted all of that time for nothing! Tai, I don't want to go back to the gross marshes!

Well what do you suggest we do?

**~**

There are so many!

Which should we go after?

Get that one. The one with little black speckles on it's back.

Tai nodded and looked up. We'd like to buy this frog please.

While the salesclerk took the frog that Matt picked out and put it in a small cage, the two teens were looking around in the pet shop.

I can't believe we resorted to this, Tai muttered.

It's better than catching it ourselves.

I kinda had fun. I think you did too, Tai said. You're just not admitting it because you got all muddy.

Which is why I'm wearing this coat and hood! Couldn't we have bought this frog after we went home to shower? Matt grumbled.

We? You make it sound like it takes two people to shower.

Matt rolled his eyes. You know what I meant. He handed the salesclerk a few crumbled up (also a bit damp) bills and took the frog. He held the handle by his fingertips, as if it was as slimy as the frog.

Don't tell me you're afraid of frogs...

Afraid of them? Yeah right! They're just... gross, that's all.

Tai rolled his eyes and took the cage from him. You'll end up dropping 'NSync if you hold it like that.

'NSync? What's that?

His name!

I'm not naming it that! Besides, how do you even know if it's a boy?

Because of his stunning looks, Tai replied indignity.

Since when did you look at guys in that way, Tai?

Tai blushed and shook his head. Just leave it at being a guy!

Okay, okay. But I don't want to name it 'NSync! After all, it is going to be staying at my place.

Tai wasn't allowed pets in his apartment building, so Matt had to take the frog into his. He wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea, but Tai promised to come over everyday to help take care of it. Matt didn't mind that aspect of it. Not one little bit.

Fine. What do you propose we name it?

Matt went silent for a few seconds. Let me think about it a bit longer. Now where the heck did you get the name 'NSync from? What is that?

I'm not sure. I just remember hearing Mimi screaming it before. It must mean something terrible though. I mean why else would she scream so much?

Matt laughed. You're probably right. What a horrible name. I don't get why you would want to name the frog that.

I'm not sure why either. Our frog does deserve a better name.

O-our frog? Matt asked, stuttering slightly. He couldn't believe it! Tai just called it their frog, as in theirs to share!

Tai crinkled his nose. Well of course. It is our bio project to work on together, so it might as well be our frog too.

Matt nodded and smiled. He suddenly got the idea that this will be a very fun project.
