Paisley's pov: I sat back in my chair figuring that I'd have to sneak in. The internships were closed. I turned off my light and went to sleep.

After school I went to the SIFA building. I looked around with my folded, battered, and old scooter in hand and put on my moms glasses. I walked in looking up at the building. As I walked in I put my scooter in its holder. "Are you looking for something ma'am?" A lady said. I went to the desk and leaned over "Uh yeah! I'm here to see Dr. Stacey Wendlle." "Ok you'll find yourself to the left." "What?" "Your here for the internship right?" I nodded. "Good, then you'll find yourself, to the left." I looked to the left and saw a bunch of badges. "Are you having trouble finding yourself?" "What? Oh nah nah! Um-" I picked up a badge that said Isabella Olivarez. "Right Mrs. Olivarez." I nodded "Gracias." I said. "Denada.". As I started up the stairs. A automated voice started explaining what this company was about.

I got with the group and I saw Peter! I put my face down hiding behind some people, it being easy because I'm short. He was explaining stuff I didn't really care about. Then some girl that was probably Isabella was being dragged out of the building.

We got to the lab. Now to the stuff I care about. "Hello my name is Stacey and yes if your wondering I do play basket ball." She said sarcastically. "Yes I don't have a arm or a leg but I'm not a cripple I'm a scientist and I'm the world foremost authority after Curtis Connors of course. In animal fusion but mostly botany also called plant science for those of you who don't know." She continued and I didn't pay attention until her voice dropped. "Like the Mastersons patient who watches on and on in terror as his body slowly but slowly betrays itself. Or the woman with macular degeneration who's eyes grow dimmer and dimmer everyday I wish to fix myself I want to create a world without a fear of dying, a superhuman if you will. Would anyone like to guess how?" Some kid answered stem cells. That was wrong so I gave the right answer which was human and plant genetics. "The human brain loses cells as you age but a plant can easily heal themselves. If you could somehow cross their DNA then give it to the person your talking about then she'd be able to-." I smiled shyly. "She would be able to heal herself making her super human." I said. Then some snotty kid said "Yeah you'd just have to look past the plants growing in her ears." Everyone laughed and I looked down. Knowing that instead of being right I was wrong. Until I heard the scientist shush everyone. "Correct, who are you?" She asked. I panicked. "Um- uh-" "She's one of the science institutes best and brightest." Peter said. Thank you! I said mentally. "She's 2nd in her class." "Second?" I asked. "Yeah!" Peter said. I raised an eyebrow. "You sure about that?" I asked him sarcastically I'm pretty sure I'm número uno. "Yeah I'm pretty sure." I shook my head smiling. She started talking about the stuff I read about. You know limbs cross breeding creating no fear in the world everyone equal that kind of thing. Once she was finished with that she had to leave.

Peter showed us this holograph tree thing. While that was playing I was going to follow her but Peter started talking to me. "Hey Isabella." I looked down at my badge. "Oh yeah haha!" I said awkwardly. "Why are you here? How did you get here? Are you stalking me?" "N-no no way um... I'm... I'm here because b-because I love science -" "Oh because you like science ok." "Yeah! I do!" I said. The hologram stopped. "I gotta lead this tour group I gotta go please don't get me in trouble." "Yeah-yeah!" I said.

I slowly walked away. But I bumped into someone. "Hey! Um-uh here I think you need this." I said. She put her hand on the file. I grasped it tighter realizing what it was but then she took it out of my hand. She walked away so I followed her. She walked up to a door and did some sort of sequence. Next to the door I saw a blue sign with the same symbols as my folder again. Two men in suits came out once they left I did the same sequence on the touch screen. And... I was in! I saw a bunch of sciencey stuff. Beakers, bottles stuff like that, a machine. I turned around as saw what looked like strings being stretched. Then I saw a door. I opened it. It was filled with spiders! Spiders may be a scary thing to some people but not to me. Spiders are beautiful not scary. I took one off of one of its webs to look at it. I smiled. "Hey buddy!" I said quietly. I kept quietly talking to him and then he bit me. "Ow!" I said. "That wasn't very nice." I said and then I thought I heard the door close. I gasped and accidentally threw the spider up not knowing where it landed. I sighed and went back out seeing no one. I got back with the group and Peter saw me. He knows I snuck away.
