Tetrapod Family Reunion

Hey, guys!! So this is a story that I wrote in my Zoology class. (Dont ask why.) One of my friends in that class said that I should put it on here, just because it's probably one of the weirdest stories I've ever written...

It was the family reunion of the tetrapods, the first one in 350 million years. However, the venue was accidentally double-booked so the amphibians were having their own reunion there as well, and a huge fight broke out about who was actually supposed to be there.

“We booked it first!” one of the mammals, descended from synapsids, which descended from amniotes, cried out.

“Yeah right!” one of the amphibians cried out. The amphibians were descended from the crossopterygians.

“Get out of here, you gross amphibians”, the reptiles yelled.

“All your slime is getting over the floor”, the birds screamed.

“It’s not slime! It’s mucus!” the amphibians said proudly.

“Like that’s any better!” the birds exclaimed.

“Aunt Synapsid!” a mammal cried out. “It’s getting in my fur!”

“Ewwww!!!” Everyone but the amphibians cried out.

“Oh, just deal with it, y’all. You’re all related anyway”, a very old animal says. They weren’t even sure it was an animal.
   
“Uh… who are you?"

“I’m your ancestor, the Tetrapod. I’ve been alive for 350 million years. All my genes run through all of you. Crossopterygian and Amniote are my descendents and you guys descended from them. We’re all one big family.” All the animals in the room look around at each other and the old tetrapod continued. “The turtles here, are descended from Anapsid, correct, which descended from Amniote, which descended from me. The birds and reptiles both descended from Diapsid, which descended from Amniote. And… well, the mammals already know they descended from Synapsid.”

The mammals, reptiles, and birds stared at the amphibians, who stared back at them.
   
“Well… I suppose we could accept them into our family”, the mammals murmured. All the other animals agreed and they all lived happily ever after.
   
“Looks like my work here is done”, Tetrapod says, before winking slightly.

Like I said,  weird and random story...
