WHO: Danny and Anyone
WHERE: Network
WHEN: 2/22
WHAT: Avoiding your problems by doing something dumb. Its a perfectly valid strategy.
WARNINGS: Teenage shenanigans, Science!

[It had been a very difficult couple of months for Danny. And the two weeks of survival and sleep deprivation hadn't helped. Like, at all.

But hey, there was no better way to avoid all the things he was trying very hard not to think about than an obvious distraction. And he'd been wanting to do this for months.

Danny adjusts the angle of his phone's camera and waves. He is standing in front of a large card table set up in the park. On the table are a couple of battered cans of obviously knockoff soda. Bepsi. Bepis. Conke. And the probably accurately named End Me. Each can has been opened and dumped into a large container in front of it, and a tube of Mentos candy is ready to drop in..

You can probably figure out where this is going. ]

Hey guys! I figured this would be the easiest way to film this. Wish me luck.

[And with that he dumps the candy into the containers and dives for cover under the table as the containers erupt into a geyser of foam.]

[Danny just stares at him with confusion for that one. Before he was born? That was kind of a weird comeback, especially since he'd always thought he was a little older than the other boy.]

Uh, okay?

Right!

[Danny claps his hands together.]

So you know how soda is bubbly because it has carbon dioxide in it? This works because of that. When you drop in the candy, it makes a ton more carbon dioxide bubbles and the whole thing erupts at once.

[prontissimo]

[ Alberto did not know how soda is bubbly because it has carbon dioxide in it. Nor does he know what carbon dioxide is. He's not covered any chemistry in science class yet... But far be it for Alberto to admit to ignorance. He just nods along, chin in his hand thoughtfully like he understands. When Danny finishes explaining, Alberto claps his hands decisively, rubbing them together in his eagerness to give it a try himself. ]

All right, got it! Let's do this, ha~

[ Alberto goes ahead and picks up the pack of candy, barely awaiting instruction, but manages to hold himself back at least. He's improved his impulse control a lot since joining school... though, not always by choice. ]
