Jocinda sat down quite suddenly on the hard concrete floor, reflecting back on her day. “If you took care of this 500 million years ago, what did you need me for?”, she asked.

“Entertainment!”, Tobin answered smiling.

Flandip pushed Tobin out of the way as Jocinda lunged up from the floor in an attempt to strangle the little mouse.

“Wait.. He is just joking… in a way..”, stated Flandip quickly. “Let me explain – put this into context.”

Jocinda flashed evil stares at the two mice on the table, then at the fish in the corner.

“You mean to tell me you can put invisible dragons, talking cats, snakes who can’t see, and a hole under the second base of Yankee Stadium where a long lived catfish resides in context with 4.5 billion year old mice who took care of a giant cookie about to attack the world in the present! Only.. wait.. they took care of it 500 million years ago due to boredom!! I’m only involved for diversity?? Or are we dealing with another kind of context?”, she stated angrily.
