On Monday, Bella arrives at school completely and stably human shaped, with everything she has learned about critters (except for her own species, which she isn't liable to forget) written down as margin notes on a page reminding her to ask Darren about D&D and filler decoy notes about that.

"You are a very good cookie vehicle," agrees Bella. "I am pretty sure you didn't even lick the cinnamon sugar off any of them."

Darren snorts. "Thanks. They're for other people, too. If I did that I could get people sick."

Savannah snorts around her cookies, and ends up in a mild coughing fit.
"Pfff- ow, cinnamon in my nooose."

"Ow!" exclaims Angela in sympathy.

"If there was it would revolutionize warfare, wow. Russia and Turkey and other easily punned nations would fall overnight."

"France would fall under a hurricane of underpants puns, Spain would know true pain, and Turkey would be served at Thanksgiving dinner. Let's not unleash that terror on the world, Bella. It's not ready. It may never be ready. They can't know."
