"Say, Grizz? Do you happen to have a
pair of Reeboks ... just like these ... in a 6-1/2? Oh,
and a pair of Peds? My feet are starting to get
prunish." Not to mention the fact the beloved tennies
were full of algae.
"There are never any names on the Linkin Logs. Or on the
books, for that matter. It's just that I'm assuming this
has to be Elkae's book since the picture from the Linkin
Log appeared in it. But I don't see how this woman could
be the real Elkae." Bizzy finally convinces the
Professor that the real Elkae is trapped somewhere and
that the Elkae here in Ae'gura is an imposter. Now they
have to devise a plan to deal with the
situation.
"What? A smart, attractive girl such as
you doesn't own any Kathie Lee? Well, next time I head
to Wal-Mart, I'll take you with me. You can stock
up."
Elkae pulls a few things from Veronica's
closet with a finger and thumb, not wanting to sully
anything. "I'm sorry, Veronica. I don't want to hurt
your feelings, but there's nothing here I would dare
wear. These are all too fine for cavern folk. Thanks
just the same. I'll just see if Grizz has anything to
fit me. A nice pair of orange coveralls would be
perfect."

"Bizzy, I think we have to carry on as
though everything is normal. I'll keep an eye on Elkae -
it's important that she doesn't suspect that we suspect
that she might not be who we think she is. If she
is an imposter, I can't imagine what her motives
might be in coming here. I'll try and continue with the
research program as normal - and we'll just see what
happens."
Veronica holds the door open for Elkae
with a strained smile. "I can assure you that I will
never nor have I ever shopped at Wal-mart. It was a
pleasure meeting you." She holds the door open
wider.

Grizz hears and sees Veronica as she
opens the door for Elkae. His face gets a little set,
then the evil grin appears. Now is not the time, but
Veronica may regret her display of bad manners. He fades
back out of sight.

Professor T has asked Elkae back to his
office for a chat.
"Elkae, it's wonderful to see
you again. Do have some Hungarian almond mead. Say when.
... Whoops! We've been through some experiences, haven't
we? Um, which of our past research projects stands out
in your mind, would you say?"
Elkae takes the glass of Hungarian
almond mead and sits down cross-legged on the floor so
as not to soil anything in the Professor's nice new
office. She feels terrible she hadn't had time to
change.
"Gosh, Professor, there have been so many
experiences that I'd be hard pressed to name just one
that stood out in my mind. I don't suppose I was every
very much help to you. Is there one in particular you
want to discuss?"
Veronica grabs the air freshener from
the shelf behind the counter and gives the storeroom a
good spray. "That lake has a foul stench. How
disgusting." She walks back into the store and yells,
"Grizz! I think you should burn that shirt you had on!"
She wondered how Grizz knew Elkae and why they seemed so
close. She was a just a wee bit on the jealous side that
they seemed so close, which surprised her a great
deal.

Chuckles58 returned to his World
Security Agency office after a busy morning at the D'ni
Tax Preparation office. He sees an orange puddle outside
the door.
Looks like a little D'ni lake water
to me. Now I need something to lift my spirits. ... I've
got it!
He dials the phone number to Grizz's
supply store, careful to disguise his
voice
"Hello, D'ni Internal Supply Company,
this is Veronica, can I help you?"
Yes, I'd like
to buy a henway, do you have any in
stock?
"What's a henway?"
About two
pounds.<Click>
Chuckles gives a good
chortle for his little prank, then proceeds to eat his
nutritious lunch and root beer float.
Uh Oh,
I hope they don't have caller
ID.

Veronica is still holding the phone.
"Hello? How rude!" She slams the phone down as Almech
walks in the store. She picks up the can of air
freshener, but just as she is about to spray, Grizz
stops her. "Yeah, that's not a good idea. I think it
would kill the
fireflies."
