*****************

Panel One: Maude: “I’m not a real criminal like the rest of you, I was just clowning around.”

Panel Two: Jason: “I only broke the law one time, just as you did, so I should be seen in the eyes of the law as being just like you!”

Panel Three: (wide panel) Maude: “I disagree, If you guys had never been caught, you would still be out breaking the law whenever the whim suited you. I screwed up one time, and one time only!”

Jason: “Your dad’s a cop?”

Panel Two: (wide panel) Regan: “Yes, and his dad was a cop, and all of my uncles are cops. You would have to completely turn your life around for me to date you!”

Panel One: (wide panel) Jason: “Sure! I have a program running from last school year, when I was a sophomore. It’s 99 percent solved!”

Panel Two: (wide panel) Regan: “Whoever is the first to decrypt an invention wins pizza for the whole club, the teacher running the club will pay for it! It sounds like you’re closing in on being the first winner!”

Panel Three: (wide panel) Caption: Soon, the students who were members of the club began to file into the library. There were about eight of them total, counting Regan and Jason.

Panel Five: Jason: “Ms. Heidner, if we get pizza, how will you get it to my scale? My miniaturized body can only assimilate foods that have been reduced to my smaller scale.

Panel Six: Mrs. Heidner: “Principal Navarro has granted us permission to use the miniaturization equipment in the auditorium for just that purpose.”

*******************

Panel One: (wide panel) Caption: She had dark blonde hair just past her shoulders, and was cute enough to have been a model. She was neither fat nor skinny, and her plump arms seemed to be due to natural muscle mass rather than puppy fat…
