This was by far the strangest subject Trucy had ever been given for an assignment. She checked the sheet again:
Assignment title: When was your…
Description: For this class you will be asking a series of questions to four people, these questions will determine aspects of these people's personal lives to see what were important moments. This will help us understand the way we humans function and experience things. These four subjects must be at least sixteen years of age or older.
Things to remember: Always get the subject to read and sign the contract before conducting interviews and to ask only the questions on the list attached to this booklet.
Answers must be recorded using a camcorder. You will have 10 days to complete this assignment.
She had taken Apollo's camcorder and his tripod stand. She was unsure of who to pick for her project, she knew she would pick her daddy and Polly, if she could she would do Klavier as well, she hoped that would win her top marks. There was only one option for the final one…Ema Skye.
She blushed deeply as she read the questions attached to the booklet. Some were very embarrassing…

"Daddy, will you help me with my new project?" She bounced up and down eagerly.
"Of course."
"You have to read this contract first." She handed him the booklet.
By signing this contract you are agreeing to answer all the questions asked and answering them honestly. Some of these questions will dive deep into your personal lives and you will be recorded. Please sign your name, print it and write your date of birth in the box below:
Phoenix did just that.
"So when am I being recorded?"
"As soon as I can get three other subjects." Trucy stated. "Where's Polly?"
"He's over in the office this afternoon."
"Thank you daddy. I'm off to find him." She kissed his cheek.
"I wonder how deep this is going to dive into my personal life…" He wondered to himself.
-x-x-
"Polly!" She burst through the door and sprang to the chair opposite his desk.
"Oh hello Trucy." He lowered his pen to the desk and looked to her. "Did you just get back from school?"
"Yep!" Trucy hollered. "I have a new project and I was wondering if you could help me."
"Does it involve electricity?" Last time he tried to help Trucy he was electrocuted.
"Nope. Here." She dropped the booklet in front of him. He read the front page and nodded.
"You want me to be interviewed?" She smiled and nodded. "Ok where's this contract?" He read through it and signed his name in the next box.
"Can you walk me to the precinct?"
"You can take my bike to there if you'd prefer."
"Thank you Polly!"
-x-x-
"Can I speak to Mr Gavin please?" The receptionist looked to the door she had just come through.
"No Mr Justice?"
"Nope he's busy."
"Mr Gavin's free. Go on ahead." Trucy bounded into the handsome prince's room.
"Ah little Fraulien." He smiled. "No Herr Forehead?"
"He's working." She pouted. "Anyway, can I ask for some help with a project? I need four people and I signed daddy and Polly up…"
"Of course Fraulien." He read through the contract and signed the third box.
"Only one more signature!" She squealed in delight. "Do you know where Ema is?"
"Downstairs." He replied.
"Bye Mr Gavin!"
-x-x-
"Miss Skye." The grumpy detective stopped munching her Snackoos and looked at the young girl.
"Just you Trucy?"
"Uh-huh. I came to ask if you could help with this project." She showed her the assignment.
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to answer questions in front of a camera."
"Please." She whined.
"No."
"Ok, that day, I'll make Mr Gavin give you a day off."
"Sounds interesting Trucy. Throw in a bag of Snackoos and I'll agree."
"Deal."
Ema read and signed the contract as soon as Klavier approved her time off. Let the interviews begin!
