Better Living Through Chemistry [Thursday, July 3, 2014]

"Hey," Ben said, shoving his safety goggles up onto the top of his head and turning to face his students. "This is Better Living Through Chemistry and I'm Ben Skywalker. Tomorrow's a major holiday on this planet that involves explosives, and so I'm gonna show you how to make fireworks today."

There could be a fight between his and Thor's classes about how much damage they do to the Danger Shop over the next few weeks. Oops? "But before we do that, let's go through the safety rules, okay? I"m pretty happy being a Skywalker with all of my limbs attached and I don't plan on having that change just by teaching you people."

And then Ben went through an exhaustive run-down of Things Not to Do When Playing With Things That Blow Up.

"So much fun," she assured him.

This almost made up for last year, when he tried to kill her!

Well, that was mostly Anakin? Sort of?

"Anything else you want to try to make?" he asked.

Yeah, but he was the one she'd yelled at. Anakin was scaaaaary.

"With explosives or for the class in general?" Kathy asked. "Flashbang grenades and smoke bombs would be cool to learn--" for no reason, really! "--and I'd like to try to make stuff, like maybe ice cream? Since it's summer and all."

No, it's winter! Brr! Only 70!

"We can do both of those, though the ice cream probably won't explode unless you're doing it really, really wrong."

Hey now! Ben had a friend who could do that!

"I'm okay with non-exploding ice cream," Kathy promised. "It might interfere with eating it!"

Zero. Sympathy.

"And in this classroom, wasting ice cream is a detention-worthy crime," Ben said, nodding.

"I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Skywalker! But I'm pretty sure that won't be a problem!"

Somewhere, Karla just burst out cackling and had no idea why.
