Okay, new chapter here. I HIGHLY appreciate the support for this story...as in if I could, I'd give everyone who reviewed 10K and a new Italian sports car. Anywho, I currently have writer's overload (opposite of writer's block), so I'm trying to sort out which ideas I'm going to use and which ones I'm not, so please forgive me if this chapter does some loops. Anywho, enjoy!!!!


After the whole incident in First Period, I got sent home for the day for 'causing a disturbance and disrupting the learning process.' So essentially, I was suspended for a day. Which stinks, I might add. I was looking forward to Art class today. Anywho, I was just about to grab a soda and commence with the homework (I asked all my teachers right before they kicked me out of the building, I don't want any zero's) when the doorbell rings. I opened it, and the person I had expected filled pretty much the entire doorway. "Let me guess...it's about the 'experiment', right?" I asked. Cobra just lowered his shades a bit.

"You do realize that you could have gotten into serious trouble today." he said/asked. I wasn't really sure which. I just nodded to make him happy, and he continued. "I understand that there is no law against them here, nor against creating a living creature. I also understand this incident was an accident. But I am warning you. One more incident like this though and the Federation could perform a raid on the government."

"Hold up. You just said there was no law against creating them. And if Earth was under the Federation's jurisdiction, wouldn't I already be on my way to some planet or something? So that means I couldn't get in trouble and the government has nothing to fear." I said, picking out the flaws. If it's anything I don't believe, it's when the government tries to lie by leaving out some or all of the facts. Or twists them around. Or flat out lies.

"If you look at it that way, yes. But the government would rather not take that chance." Cobra growled. Then, he left. Very odd in my opinion. The government was a lot better before this whole 'don't get on the aliens bad side' policy was adopted. After all, isn't that what the military is for? I pondered all this, then decided on two possible courses of action. A, I could let it rest and just hope that Jumba doesn't get into trouble (he IS my biochem teacher after all) or B, antagonize the government and see what happens. Now at this point, I picked A, but being me, I knew it would come back to B. But I hope not any time soon.

Later that evening, Michelle came by. I still couldn't come up with a name for the marshmallow lover, and I wasn't expecting any more guests (unless you count UGF as a guest, but they never showed). She came in by herself (all the girls I know seem to do that), so I was surprised. Especially since she was supposed to be sick.

"Hey Eric, I heard you got suspended!" she said, bursting into my room. This was okay and bad at the same time. It was okay because all I was doing was typing a story that like my others, I probably wasn't going to post. It was bad though, because she had a bag of marshmallows with her. Guess who wound up on the floor screaming because they were being 'attacked' by a marshmallow loving yellow Yaarp look-a-like?

"Hey, get off of her...those aren't your marshmallows!" I said, dragging it (I'm going to call it Marshmallow because of it's favorite food) off of her. Marshmallow didn't struggle as much as I expected, but when Michelle got up, she laughed.

"Hard time controlling your...what it is exactly?" she said after a few minutes of laughing.

"It's a rare breed of a New Zealand Swamp Koala..." I said quickly. It really had some truth behind it, because the marshmallow used to be made the mallow of a plant found in swamps and marshes. Hence the term 'marshmallow'. Michelle didn't seem impressed, which was good for me because then I wouldn't have to prove anything. Maybe there were a lot of people here now that had pets that weren't exactly normal.

"Okay...anyways, what exactly happened at school? And why did your pet attack me?" she asked. Those things I could say without having to lie, so I told her everything that she needed to know.

"Well, Marshmallow here stowed away in my book bag. And it's addicted to marshmallows...they used to come from swamp plants you know." I said. She raised an eyebrow, but then went on to a subject I wish she had NEVER brought up.

"So...Lilo seems to like you." she said. I groaned inwardly, and gave her a confused stare outwardly.

"What?" I asked, blinking.

"She was, pardon my slang, checking you out the other day in lab and art when I wasn't sick." she explained. Why is it girls always notice these things decades before I do? I didn't see a connection until just earlier today!


Okay, longer chapter than normal...but that's a good thing!!! Anywho, please review!!!!
