=====================================================================================================

Nya takes the covers off of a skeleton.

Nya: Some villagers unearthed the remains of this Fangpyre a few miles away. It predates the Golden Age, and must be hundreds of years old. Although the venom in the fangs of the Fangpyre genetically mutate human cells into reptilian, I've learned there could be a way to stop the effects without having to create an antivenom.

Zane is shown taking notes while Kai is bored. Cole is drawing a picture of him fighting while Jay, is trying not fall asleep, while Toge stares at Nya with an infatuated expression on his face.

Nya: If one is able to wildly raise their heart rate, hypothetically it could reverse the venom's effects.

Her cheeks turn pink.

Nya: Resulting in...diminished, uh, excuse me, is someone wearing perfume? I'm severely allergic to perfume.

Jay: Heh.

He whispers to Toge.

Jay: Too much?

Toge: Very. What are you even trying to do Jay?

Jay: Uhhh I can't tell you yet.

Everyone but Jay and Nya laughs. Zane turns his humor switch off.

Cole: Ah, looks like class is over. Time to start stomping some Serpentine before they find any Fangblades.

Kai: Sounds like a plan.

Zane: I'm excited to join.

Jay waits for them to leave.

Jay: Uh, hey uh, Nya, I'm sorry. The reason I was—you know—I went to Kai because—look. What I'm trying to say is—

Nya: I know. It's just a cruel joke. I should be fine. Please, go fight snakes.

Jay: Wait I have a question for you. Do you like Toge?

Nya: T-Toge?! I- uhhh mean of course not like that but-

Jay: Fantastic.

Nya begins playing with her hair embarrassed.

Jay: Look, maybe, if you'll let me, I can help you with your Toge situation. You don't have to, if you don't want to...

Nya: You mean you'll help me with my feelings towards Toge?

Jay: Um, yeah? The dude may smack my head when I do or say something dumb but I can tell he means well.

Nya: Sure! I'd love to. But I have to go now before the perfume toxins enter my bloodstream and I go into shock. See you tonight.

She leaves.

Jay: Yes!

He laughs, and accidentally pricks himself on the skeleton.

Jay: Ow! Aah! Man.
