Doctor Malin and Dash walk in on August excitedly ripping out pages of different textbooks, taping them all over the walls, and connecting them with different colored string. The pages and pictures lining the room make what looks like a mess of cobwebs and cover nearly a fourth of the spacious room.

"Those...... aren't yours....." Dr. Malin says, trailing off at the end.

Dash looks at him skeptically, "I thought you'd figured it out by now Doc; once you let August into your house everything is his--he's like a vampire." The young man finishes and proceeds to hiss for effect, smiling.

"Very funny Zachary," Dr. Malin responds sarcastically, glancing at the boy before looking again at his mutilated books. "First additions...." he grumbles. After a moment the doctor lets out a resigned sigh and heads back towards the door. "I'll go order some more."

"You really got him this time." Dash grins looking at the doctors retreating form.

August looks up from his work at the sound of his brothers' voice, "Oh, hello Dash. How long have you been here?"
