“So what classes are you in?” Quatre asked as Duo took a seat across from him at the cafeteria table.

 

“Newtonian Physics,” the youth answered, paying more attention to his lunch than much else.

 

“That's a rather generic title,” Wufei murmured.  His first impression of the school had been less than stellar.

 

Duo smiled.  “Yeah, well…”  Reaching out, he snatched Quatre’s water bottle from the table and tossed it high into the air above them.  “THE BOTTLE GOES UP!”

 

Quatre sucked air into his lungs sharply at the sight of the bottle pin-wheeling above them before it turned and nose-dived back towards the table.  He covered his head with his hands when the plastic container crashed into the table’s surface.

 

“THE BOTTLE COMES DOWN!” Duo shouted, pointing emphatically at the bottle which lay on its side.  “Hot damn! That's cool!”  Calmer, he added, “Now explain it.”

 

“Can you?” Heero asked without looking up from his own lunch.

 

Duo shook his head.  “Not without copying that Newton dude. He's got the whole schbang copyrighted and I don't want to get in trouble with the Feds.”

 

“What's going on here?”

 

The group of young men looked up at the school’s vice president.  Some of them offered grins which they hoped to be interpreted as the ‘innocent’ kind.

 

“Newtonian Physics,” Trowa answered.

 

“We're on the verge of a break-through,” added Heero.

 

“Yeah, ya see,” Duo said, grabbing the bottle and tossing it up in the air, “bottle goes up--!”

 

His demonstration was foiled however when Wufei stood and snatched the projectile mid-motion.
