Rainier yawned. He was all tuckered out from today's adventures! Going to a science museum was the hallmark of any child's week, especially his. He even got to wear his lab coat to it, just like a real scientist! Plus his babysitter took the time to try to explain complex concepts so that he could understand them. Out of everything there, physics, feats of engineering, and light, he was most interested in microbiology: germs, viruses, other 'yucky' things and ways of stopping them!

Upon arriving back home, he laid in his sitter's lap, looking up at her with a yawn.

"All tuckered out, Rainycat?" Alyssa snickered, petting her charge's hair.

"Yeahhuh... I think I know what I wanna be when I grow up, too." The jaguar replied, smiling a little. "I wanna be a re-search-er!"

"Oh?" Alyssa flicked her ears, bringing her tail around. "Keep doing well in science class, Rainier. And I have no doubt you'll be one of the best."
