fandomhigh | Science! Club, Friday Afternoon

Each of the lab stations in the science lab had at it a large box, wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper and tied with a bow.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Sokka announced from the front of the room. "I have something VERY SPECIAL for you all today!"

He held up a sealed envelope. "In this envelope is something that EVERYONE ought to know how to make. It's one of the most important chemical compounds in this planet's history, and for those of you, like myself, who come from a world without modern conveniences, it is INDISPENSABLE for winning arguments."

"The ingredients are SULFUR, a yellow rock you can find in the ground, especially around hot springs, CHARCOAL, which is pretty easy to make but hard to make well, and SALTPETER, which you can find in white crystals on old dungheaps. Take them in exactly the right proportions, grind them up together very carefully using my father's patented method, and you get a little thing we like to call 'Hakoda's Special Number One Powder'."

He lit the envelope on fire and dropped it into an empty garbage can, where it exploded.

"Ta-da! Each lab station has a box with all your ingredients and a grinding mill. Have fun!"

React, take notes, what have you.

The ingredients are all wrapped up in happy little presents for you. Have at it.

...Oh, wait. As everyone was getting ready to go back to their stations, Sokka called out "Hey, listen up! Make sure you keep the powder a little damp while you're grinding it, and do NOT get any heat or sparks too close. It's... Well, it blows up. You don't want it to blow up when you're near it. And remember, we're in the real world, not the Danger Room, so throwing explosives at people you like is DEFINITELY FROWNED UPON."

Mac eyed her package dubiously a moment.

This could be interesting... you know, so long as she managed not to blow herself of anyone else up in the process. She was pretty confident she wouldn't, but she was still cautious.

Because he rocks ya.

Who is probably regretting agreeing to sponsor this club.

Great. The pony-tail guy was trying to blow everyone up.

Zoe was so going to kick Indy's ass.

Sokka grinned and gave Indy a thumbs-up.

"Maybe it's a good idea to run the club topics by me first before the students blow up the school," Indiana suggested.

"Don't worry, I didn't give them NEARLY enough of the ingredients for too big of an explosion," Sokka reassured him. "I'm on top of it. BESIDES, this is vital science that it's important for them to know."

"And what happens when they walk out of this classroom, now knowing the correct way to blow something up?" he asked. "What if they decide to do this on their own and get hurt? Or hurt someone else?"

Sokka frowned. "Did you miss the part where I'm HOPING they walk out of here knowing how to blow something up? The teachers always use things like 'fuel oil', and 'fertilizer', and 'C4', and that's just not helpful for someone from a world like mine."

EXPLODE!!!
