Challenge: #97 - Extinction
Characters/Pairing: Nick Cutter, Claudia Brown
Warnings: None
Authors Notes: Dodos unexpectedly escaping out of an anomaly lead Nick and Claudia a merry dance


Nick fell backwards as another dodo skidded between his legs, and Claudia reached to help him up. Their preoccupation let three more slip past and set off rolling beak over feet down the hill.

“Damn!”

They looked down at the untidy heap of dodos at the bottom, all scrambling to stand. One made it upright and looked back, head cocked to one side.

“Do you think they’ve got enough foresight to realise they won’t make it?” Claudia asked.

The dodo turned and ran, headlong into the others.

“If they have, it’s not going to stop them from trying,” Nick replied.

Good one! I think the dodos were my favourite creatures in S1.

[beedekka]

They were wonderfully haphazard - that's a quality I can empathize with!

I love dodos.

[beedekka]

Me too. When you think of all the things that exist today that are essentially perfectly charming yet not much use, it seems a shame that dodos aren't still with us as well.

Blame the Dutch :D

LOL, that's lovely :) I adored the dodo episode and it's such a shame they're extinct.

[beedekka]

Thank you!

I liked the dodo episode a lot, too - they were a good bit of comic relief. Um... at least until they went crazy and bit people XoD

awwww, cute and fun. I love it when they get something nice and cuddly for a change, and not just more big nasty predators.

I love that, too. Also, when Rex gets something endearing to do... It's nice to see the softer side :oD
