"Good afternoon, everyone," she greeted the class, glancing up as they entered. "I hope you all enjoyed your week off and have recovered from Homecoming sufficiently to be fully mortified when your parents show up this weekend, because yes, we live to torture you."

Sam grinned. Obviously they didn't (as far as she knew), but the timing was a bit coincidental. "In what is continuing to be an incredibly brief overview of physics, today we'll start discussing relativity. As you can see from the handouts, sometimes the umbrella of relativity also encompasses the theory of Galilean, or Newtonian Relativity, depending on who you're talking to, but in most cases, people who discuss relativity really mean either Albert Einstein's theories of special relativity or general relativity."

"So, why do we care? At least in this time period," and here, she may have smirked just a tiny bit, "we believe that relativity is the key to figuring out not just time travel, time dilations, and gravitational time delay, we also believe that it's the key to interstellar travel at faster than light speeds."

Another grin. "Trust me, this is a good thing. Plus, I have my suspicions that it's part of what makes Fandom possible."

"I realize that I've thrown a lot of material at you in a very short time, so I'll give you the rest of the period to process the information, to look through the handouts, to ask questions, and to work on your final projects if you want."

"Well, you can make bad pumpkin soup from it," he considered.

"After it's been thrown from a catapult?" Romeo countered, making a face.

Ichigo stared at him. "I think I like the water balloon idea better."

Romeo stared right back. He wasn't the one who had brought up pie. "As do I."

Soup. He'd brought up soup. And it was just that it was the only thing he could think of that you can do with pumpkins.

"I wonder how high we could make it shoot," he pondered, deciding to ignore the pumpkin fiasco. Not that he was considering besieging the dorms.

Soup, pie, ravioli -- Romeo still didn't think a pumpkin that had been through a catapult would be edible in any form, even if his mun failed reading comprehension.

"I've no idea," he admitted instead. "A few floors, perhaps? We could make that one of our goals, to get as much height as possible."

Ichigo had to agree there, which was why he was pretending he'd never said it to begin with.

"It could be cool," he said, already imagining it. "Our goal to wake up as many annoying people as early as possible." He felt like being annoying today.

"But then we need to get up early too," Romeo mused. "Perhaps if we do it on a weekend, so most people are sleeping in."

"That works," he nodded. "If we can manage to build this thing." He was aware that this kind of discussion was probably not the one Sam wanted them to have.

"That is why we're going to the library," Romeo offered with a tiny smile. He knew they'd gotten off-target, but he doubted Ms. Carter thought he'd be a physicist in any case. "Will third period work for you?"

"Sure. I don't have class the whole day," Ichigo nodded. "At least we found our motivation."

"It's all for science," Romeo informed Ichigo seriously.

Ichigo nodded solemnly. "It is. We should get an A for that alone."
