Jack Mc Coy, a foriegn exchange student from America, sits in the science lab with Rei. She was assigned to be his partner but half the stuff Jack was saying went way over her head. Jack had green eyes and long blonde hair. If his ears were pointy, his friends from America would joke, he would look like Link. (Message to morons: Link is the main character in Legend of Zelda) Jack continued to mix chemicals while Rei sat back and watched.
"Rei, if this syrum works do you know the possibilities it has?" Jack asked as he tossed her a pair of goggles.
"I know that it'll get us an A in science." she said sarcasticly as she caught the goggles. "What are these for?"
"Mild chance of either explosion or intensely bright light. Better safe than sorry. After all, I wouldn't want to have to pay any nasty bills for laser eye surgery and I'm sure you wouldn't either." Jack never was one for schmoozing or blathering on and on. He was always straight to the point and spoke what was on his mind, whether it was a good idea or not.
Rei put on the goggles as Jack lowered the test tube with the strange syrum in it towards an apple. The syrum actually kind of looked like Hersheys Syrup. The only difference was it was more liquidy than the syrup. Just as Jack was about to pour the syrum in Serena and Amy burst into the lab. Actually, Serena tripped and fell through the door then Amy ran in to help her. This distraction gave both Jack, and Rei a heart attack. A drop of the syrum hit the apple Jack was about to pour it onto. Nothing happened.
"Serena, are you ok?" asked Amy helping Serena stand up.
"Watch where you're going meatball head! You could've hit me!" retorted Rei. Serena stood up and then Rei and Serena began arguing. Amy sighed. Jack continued to seem oblivious to all that was going on in the room.
"That's strange... why didn't it work?" finally the noise seemed to attract Jack's attention. He looked to see Serena and Rei arguing and shouting at eachother. Finally he had had enough and marched over to them.
"OK," he said. "Stop fighting in here. This is a lab, if you want some place to fight you could either go to the gym peacfully and then fight. Or, you could answer to me." Jack was a good 6'2" and never had a problem intimidating people. Serena and Rei both shut up. Rei looked to Jack.
"So what is the syrum supposed to do again?"
"It's supposed to increase the mass and size of any object." replied Jack still looking at the apple, which was still unchanged in any way.
"... that's impossible! You can't make things grow." said Rei. Amy then walked up to Jack.
"You increase the amount of empty space in an object right?" asked Amy even though she already knew that was the answer.
"Precicely Amy. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're defanitely the smart one." said Jack with a smile.
Serena and Rei were as confused as two people could be. Finally Amy tried to explain but she just made things worse and confused them even more. So then Jack said:
"Ok, physics for dummies. Basically, your body is made up of thousands and thousands of molecules and atoms. With me so far?" this was basic junior high stuff so of course they were following. They nodded.
"Good. Now an atom is made up of three basic parts. The nucleas, which is pretty much the brain, the electron and the neuron. Now between these 3 is empty space. Still following?" Amy couldn't help but giggle a bit as Jack insulted their intelligence yet still stuck to the point. He was quite good at doing that. Serena and Rei knew all this already and couldn't help but get a little angry at Jack's insulting. They nodded anyway.
"Very good! Ok, the amount of empty space in an atom is greater then we initially thought it would be. Thanks to new high powered electron microscopes we can see the atom very close up. If you enlarged the Nucleas of an Atom to say... the size of an apple. Then the closest electron or neuron would be.... an estimated... 5 miles away." Rei and Serena nodded still following.
"Now in theory you can increase the size of an object by increasing the amount of empty space in it's atoms. There, physics for dummies." Rei and Serena finally got it.
"Ok why didn't you just say so?" said Rei.
"Yeah Amy? Why'd you have to go into all the other stuff. Why didn't you just say that?" commented Serena.
"I did." Amy said somewhat angrily. Jack simply laughed at these two simpletons. Serena saw the vile of chocolate like substance.
"Is that... CHOCOLATE!" she said excitedly. She rushed to the vile...
