Daddy John: Stephen Orange has never been the friendliest of the Fab 5. He's a bit aloof, and would much rather work alone on his marine biology projects than run around. But, at times he can be talked into playing with his brothers (usually it's Nicholas Sahara who gets him out of his own way).
News of a new brother has reached Stephen Orange's ears, so he has retreated to the quiet lounge to talk it over with his stuffed toy whale shark, Aurora.
Stephen Orange: >Sigh<
Stephen Orange: Another brother! He's going to be nosy, noisy, and naughty
like the rest of them. What am I going to do? >Sigh<
Philip Guy: Excuse me, is this chair taken? May I sit here?
Stephen Orange: >Sigh< I guess. If you must.
Philip: Thanks. >Whew!< The other boys threw me a little party and it was getting a bit
warm and loud. I needed a breather.
Stephen Orange: Mm.
Philip: Say, is that a Rhincodon typus?
Stephen Orange: ...why, yes...yes, it is...
Philip: That's cool. I like the Sphyrna mokarran, the hammerhead shark, myself.
I've been reading a book called The Search for the Giant --
Stephen Orange: --Squid by Richard Ellis! Yes! A must have for any serious ichthyologist's
or marine biologist's personal library!
Philip: I'm Philip Guy, but you can call me Phil.
I guess we're brothers now.
Stephen Orange: Hello. I'm Stephen Orange.
Always a pleasure to meet a fellow scientist.
And later...
Stephen Orange: ...so there I was, sand everywhere,
and I do mean everywhere, when I found an intact Dunkleosteus!
Philip: The complete skeleton? Wow! You know, I've got a lead on a
hammerhead hunting expedition. Photo-expedition, of course.
Stephen Orange: Then you simply must go!

How lovely the Stephen Orange now as a soul mate and will not be alone amongst the crowd any longer.
I love the nerds of a feather quote
And what a great family photo of the new sensational six ! Loving those chairs too ;)
What a lucky coincidence they share their love for fish - if Philip were a bird watcher, the story would have ended differently. But now they can research and discuss happily ever after!
