During class Dustin told everyone to meet him in the AV club room for lunch. Obviously, I did so and I'm wondering if that was a mistake. He was holding his replica Proton Pack from his Halloween costume, claiming that what was inside was externally important I didn't believe him at first but now that he's opened it I can't help but agree.
"His name is D'Artagnan." He picked up the bizarre creature before saying. "Cute, right?"
"D'Artagnan?" Mike repeated the name in an attempt to call out it's abnormality although the name is far from the most abnormal part of this creature.
"Dart for short," Dustin replied.
"And he was in your trash?" Max -word for asked in order to confirm Dustin's previous claims.
"Foraging for food." He answered. "You want to hold him?"
"No, no." Max replied
"He doesn't bite." Dustin said as he started to put the strange creature in her hands.
"I don't want to" She pleaded but Dustin already dropped it in her hands. "Oh, God he's slimy!" She pleaded with a look of disgust on her face due to the sensation of it touching her hand. She near immediately put it in Lucas's palm.
"Ugh, he's like a live booger." Lucas -word for said- before passing it to Will.
"Ugh, oh God!" Will stated.
"Let me hold it!" I exclaimed at Will, and he happily obliged. I get what Max meant by it being slimy as it's texture was much like that of a slug . "Fucking rad!" I said with a smile that most would find to be unfitting contextually. I hand Dart to Mike. "You sure it's safe to touch with our bare hands Dust-Bunny?"
"First of all don't call me 'Dust-Bunny' second of all, I've touched him a million times and I'm fine."
Mike brought Dart closer to his face in order to inspect him. "What is he?"
"My question exactly" Mike moved Dart to the table and he stayed in place due to a makeshift "wall" of chords. "At first I thought it was some type of pollywog."
"Pollywog?" Max -word for repeated- out of confusion on what on Earth Dustin was talking about.
"It's another word for tadpole. A tadpole is the larval stage of a toad."
"I know what a tadpole is."
"All right then you know that most tadpoles are aquatic, right? Well, Dart isn't. He doesn't need water."
"Yeah but aren't their non-aquatic pollywogs?" Lucas intercepted.
"Terrestrial pollywogs? Yep two to be exact." Dustin opened his book to a page he had bookmarked. "Indirana semiplamata." He moved to a different page. "And the Adenomera Andreae. One's from India, one from South America. So how did one end up in my trash?"
"Maybe some scientist brought it here and it escaped?" Max proposed.
"Do you guys see that?" Mike stated pointing to Dart. "Look like something moving inside of it." Everyone moved closer to D'Artagnan in order to see better including myself. Mike moved the lamp closer to Dart which resulted in it making a shrieking noise and running away, Dustin caught him right before he fell.
"Whoa. It's okay. It's okay." Dustin said in an attempt to calm D'Artagnan. He was also smiling at it. "I got you, little guy. I know you don't like that. It's okay." He stopped looking at Dart and turned to us. "And there's another thing. Reptiles they're cold-blooded. Exothermic, right. They love heat, the sun. Dart hates it. It hurts him."
"So if he's not a pollywog or a reptile..."
"Then I've discovered a new species."
The bell rang and we all left the room.
