A/N: I... I got this idea, and it was just too precious not to write. Also a minor humorous release from writing Disconnect. And before anyone says anything about too many duplicates, they aren't all the same type of vial in each group. Anyway...
"Izzy, you okay?"
The boy in question paused, looking up from where he stood over a desk with a permanent marker in hand. "I'm fine, why do you ask?"
Tai and Cody glanced at each other briefly.
"Well, you've been in here for almost three days straight," Tai remarked, shuffling a little. "Even Tentomon was starting to get worried.
Izzy sighed. "It's just… there's so much to do…"
"Then, is there anything we can do to help?" Cody asked. "I mean, we care about your sanity you know."
Izzy shook his head. "No, I'm okay… actually," he quickly changed, looking thoughtful. "You can help me. That'd be really great."
Tai and Cody smiled at him.
"Great! So what do we do - "
They were met with Izzy giving them both permanent markers.
"Start from here and go down, the vials are all clumped together in groups based on time point. Label them T-0, T-1, and so on until you reach the end."
The two other boys glanced at the entire counter and felt something of a sense of doom.
"… that's a lot of vials…" Cody commented rather dazedly.
"Yeah, I know," Izzy replied cheerfully, picking one of them up and writing T-1 on the side. "Twenty vials per treatment per time point, fifty time points, it takes a while you know. I already wrote the treatment and site number on all of them, but I hadn't put time points on them yet, so here I am doing that. I'm mostly done with sorting and labeling everything else, it's all weighed out to account for any loss of mass too."
They gaped at him incredulously.
"Labeling? Labeling?" Tai flung his hands up in the air.
Izzy looked incredibly casual and nonchalant about it. "Well yeah, what else do you think I've been doing here the last three days?"
Tai growled. "Okay then, we're getting the whole cavalry in here to help out. Seriously, I'm surprised you haven't already gone insane."
