Panel 1-Narration-After the con…

Theo and Iara are walking away from the con space in the city during the day. Iara is carrying a UFO shaped mylar balloon and Theo is carrying a suitcase. They look sad.

Theo (orange and tan T.rex with glasses and green eyes)-sigh The Rex Files didn’t even place, Iara!

Iara (brown Velociraptor with green eyes)-I know, Theo…this con meant a lot to you…

Panel 2-Theo and Iara are sitting at a bench in the park

Theo-I mean, don’t you think it’s weird how aliens and not dinosaurs won 1st?

Iara-Well, Theo…

Theo-I just…don’t understand. It seems odd, somehow, ‘cause the convention was clearly biased and I spent months writing the theory, and…!

Panel 3-Iara gives Theo a kiss on the cheek

Iara-I’m sure we’ll figure it out!

Panel 4-Theo is stunned that Iara did that, his mouth is wide open in shock

Theo-Iara!!

Iara-looking at the reader-The weird thing is, why didn’t I do that sooner?
