Shop Class

As the students enter the room they'll see a table that has an array of various materials that no normal teacher would ever provide a student could possibly create an explosion.

"Hopefully you got my e-mail last week to bring in something that you don't mind getting destroyed," Mac says with a small grin. "Because today we are going to blow it up."

Ivanova grinned. Maybe it was bit vicious. Safely behind the blast shield, she yanked on the string. There was a very satisfying explosion and bits of black leather began floating down like emo-snow.

"That was fun," she said, satisfied. "I love this class."

"Probably better if you don't, since you're a professor and all." Sam winked. "I understand plausible deniability is important."

"Like I told Crichton, 'hell hath no fury' goes double if the woman in question knows her way around a block of C4."

"Blair said he had someone make it in town. Maybe you could order one?" Nadia was in no way staring at the tool and wanting to snatch it back. No, not at all.

Xander has an idea how to make something explode. He also has a box.

With the proper materials on hand, he doesn't have to resort to guessing at chemicals, and goes straight for the carefully numbered shotgun shells, signing out two and emptying the powder onto the sticky side of a piece of masking tape for a fuse.

Kerosene lantern fuel. Ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Gloves, because he's not getting that shit stuff shit on his fingers when he mixes them and pours the result back into the shells to make blasting caps.

Fuses attached, he finally opens the box and removes the contents:



The paper cheerleading uniform is a Sunnydale High one, since he doesn't know whose Jake actually stole. The accuracy of the detail on it is probably a little worrisome.

Nadia managed not to snatch it from Mac, but probably only barely. She flicked the blowtorch on and off again a few times. Then, since she's a nice person and thinks Mac is cool, she shrugs a little reluctantly.

"I guess you can, um, borrow this one sometimes until you get one,"

Sam smacked the palm of her hand against her ear. Maybe she had water in it and hadn't heard Mac properly. "Excuse me?"

Sam tried to regain her composure. Eighth? On a date? Chinese food? Buh? "Er, do you think that's wise?"

Nadia nodded with a look of sympathy for the poor man using outdated tools. "Okay, if you're sure."

She flicked the blow torch one more time. You know, just for fun.

"Because she's a megalomaniacal human-form replicant bent on world domination?"

"Because she's a toaster?"

"Er, because she's another teacher? And my..." she cringed, "aunt? Don't you think that's a little weird? I know it makes me uncomfortable."

Sam didn't facepalm, but it was a really, really close thing. "We did. But I meant because I'm your TA and she's related to me..." She started flailing slightly. "Plus, we don't exactly get along. I'd hate for her to do something bad to you because of me."

Xander glances over when Sam mentions the hatness. "Glad to see it didn't make you permanently dumb - you went awfully quiet there after Professor Has No Hat-love turned you human again."

Xander inserts the blasting caps in...strategic areas, lights the fuses, and ducks behind the blast shield muttering, "Dear whoever, this is not actually Jake Gavin; no sympathetic magic, please. This is just a happy little earthshattering kaboom. With bavarian creme." Because sometimes he learns from things. Occasionally.

There is a happy little earthshattering kaboom.

And a lot of cream filling.

Everywhere.

"I was a good hat," John says, smiling. "A very good hat."

"Eh, I had to adjust to being able to talk again," John says. "Plus, I didn't want her to turn me into a pair of shoes. Sorry about the detention though."

"What kind?" Sam couldn't believe she'd just asked that question. "And I'm not surprised, but how would you have been a bad hat?"
