"That's perfect!" Claire said, holding it up against her cow, "I couldn't do blue because it'd blend in too much, but the pink works great!"

Alec smiled, proud of his contribution. "It looks perfect!" He tied the blue bow on his own bear. "This one looks so good." His phone buzzed, and he checked it. "Oh! I have to go. Xander's here to take me to work."

"Oh no!" Claire said, a bit disappointed their time together had ended so quickly, "We just need to type their names into their birth certificates and pay, do you have the time?"

"Yes, I can do that," he assured her. He quickly texted Xander that he would be out in a few and then followed Claire. "Do we get to give them special names?"

"We do, yeah!" Claire said, leading Alec to the decrepit computers, "We type in their name and ours, and then print out the page. We also get one of those awesome cardboard boxes to put them in," She pointed at someone who was leaving with one.

"Oh, that's a nice box! And will come in handy since I'm going straight to work. Unless Xander is willing to take it home for me," Alec mused. He eyed the bear thoughtfully. He had not been expecting to have to name the bear, and naming things in a rush was not his style. He knew he couldn't hem and haw as long as he normally did, so he went with the first thing that came to mind and typed in, "Geisel." It seemed to suit the bear just fine, and as he waited for the page to print, he looked to see what Claire was naming her cow.

"I thought we were choosing B names!" Claire exclaimed, lightly teasing him. Holding her cow up, she looked over it she said, "Beryl. I really like classic names."

Alec blanched, realizing his mistake. "I'm sorry! In all the excitement, and I'm really bad at names, I went with the first thing I thought of: Dr. Suess's real last name. His first name can be... um... Bravely. Bravely Grisel. It's not as good as Beryl. Sorry."
