On the twelth day of Christmas...
...I was done, albeit overdue. I don't know if there was intended to be an amnesty again this year - I kind of just hoped there was based on previous years so thanks either way. Next year there will be no essays due at the beginning of January! I didn't manage all 12 for this final one but I'm okay with that given the sheer word count of my submissions this year.

It didn't matter if they were carnivores, herbivores or somewhere in between; if they could crush him with a single step or chase him down for lunch. It didn't matter what dinosaur stepped through the anomaly, Connor felt the same rush of excitement.
It was the same as the first Christmas he remembered where he opened up his big present to find an encyclopedia of dinosaurs and a build your own stegosaurus kit. Or his tenth birthday when his parents took him to the history museum. The same chill of excitement that made the hairs on his neck stand on end.
Connor hoped he never got used to seeing dinosaurs.

Christopher had never met anyone like Professor Charlie Eppes. He wished he had. Everything would have been better if he had known him for longer.
The school hadn’t wanted him to go to listen to him speak. Christopher thought that it was silly. It was a talk about maths and maths made Christopher happier than anything else in the world. So he told them that and they decided it was okay for him to go, Siobhan came with him even though she didn’t like Maths.
Professor Charlie Eppes might like Maths even more than him. Facial expressions were usually difficult, but when the professor talked about how everything around us can be explained with numbers and mathematical theories his whole face lit up.
Christopher thought that one day he would like to work with Professor Charlie Eppes, and even if Siobhan said that it wasn’t very likely he still thought it was a good ambition to have.

Mordecai felt that there truly was nothing quite so beautiful, quite so spectacular, quite so utterly magical as the sensation of pushing the pedal of an Outrunner to the floor and building up speed until you finally ploughed into that small army of Bandits so damn hard that they were left decorating the desert in a twenty metre wide radius.

Jimmy asked Pete to punch him and check that he wasn't dreaming. He didn't of course because Pete had never hit anyone in his life and he wasn't going to start now. Instead Pete hugged him with one arm and told him how proud he was and blushed bright red at even daring to say those words.
Jimmy's first instinct was to laugh it off and say that Pete should be prouder of himself and his grades, all top of course. But he didn't because really it was more than he'd expected. For a brief moment he wished his mother would care - she never would have believed he would have walked out of high school with 3.0 GPA - but it's not like she would and it wasn't like that was anything new.
Besides the smile on Pete's face when he turned to Jimmy and could barely speak because he was so excited by the realisation that Jimmy could go to the same college as him with his grades
Hell that was magic enough right there.
