"Umm…. I really like going to the zoo. Last month I just went to the zoo in Washington. I saw some monkeys and pandas. Really cute! They looked kinda… like you too!

"Oh really?"

"I took some pictures, I’ll show you."

"You like photography? How about art?"

"Umm…art. I should say I like it."

"Hey, is Tiger your real name?"

This was apparently a sore spot for Tiger. "Yes, yes it is my real name. Is there some sort of problem with what my parents decided to name me?"

Spencer got flustered. "Oh no, not at all. It’s a… lovely name. It’s very… original."

Yet another awkward silence followed. Blushing, Spencer noticed the foot prints that she had left when she came in. Looking around, she reached into her bag and tried to clean it off with a napkin.

Ding Ding!

"Times up. Ladies, please switch places."

Spencer looked over to the next person. "I wonder… will he be my soul mate?"

"Hey, we’re switching now!" Kyla said trying to take her spot.

Not wanting to leave anymore foot prints. Spencer put her clipboard in her mouth and scooted her way to the next spot.

Setting the clipboard on the table she sits up. "Hi, I’m Spencer."

"I’m Jerry, call me Dr. Carson if you want."

"Doctor? Oh, In who field may, I ask?"

"I’m an orthopedist. Study of bones, If you didn’t know. I hope you don’t find my asking rude or anything, but do you have something wrong with you leg?"

A woman suddenly walked up. "Spencer, your not allowed to wear shoes in here! No wonder there’s foot prints everywhere!"

Slightly embarrassed, Kyla started asking,"Why didn’t you take off you shoes? Let me help you then!"

"No! Kyla don’t!" Spencer exclaimed, pulling on her boot to keep Kyla from removing it.

"Take it off!" Kyla insisted, pulling the boot as hard as she could.

Spencer continued pulling on her boot to keep it on, but after a minute or two Kyla pulled it off, ripping Spencer’s pantyhose with her leg still up in the air.

–

"Here!" Kyla she said, putting a bag of frozen peas on Spencer’s leg.
