Prometheus hovered over the burner, two of his female students observing.  The dark liquid bubbled as he added the final ingredients, removing the now amber colored fluid he decanted it into a large Styrofoam container.  Placing special gloves over his hands, he smiled at the two young ladies he had found doing "Science!" in the auxiliary lab before classes.  Mostly seeming to involve the scientific study of each other's eyes, and the study of the stimulus required for the right shade of blush.  So adorable.

"Ms. Shimmer, would you please remove the lid to the dry ice, Ms Sparkle please set the Chronometer for 9 seconds exactly?"

"Yes, Professor!" the two girls chorused.  Such lovely girls, he had a hard time understanding any teacher quitting with students like these.  After all, he saw only two devices in this room that were even potential Doomsday devices.  Where was the fun in that.  He would have to properly inspire these two.  No less then five was required for a proper lab!  Why ten was the mandatory if one wanted to be properly feared.  Ms. Sparkle nodded as Prometheus submerged the Styrofoam container.

The beeping of the watch was accented by Ms. Sparkle's shout of "Time! Professor!"

Prometheus withdrew the flask, motioning to his other student. "If you would please Ms. Shimmer, place the cups upon the table and then we shall see what we have, Muahahahahaha!"

Pouring the now light brown liquid, he sat with his students and took the first sip, perfection.  "That girls is how you do a proper Iced Coffee, with Caramel, Honey and Three Shots of Double Brewed Cuban Espresso.  Mad Scientist style! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

His laughter fading, he watched as the young ones giggled, sharing a glance, the two sipped the drink slowly, then sighed contented.

A deep voice echoed out, "I hope You Have Enough For Me, Professor."  

He chuckled, "Of Course, Madam Vice Principal." 

Rising, he grabbed one of the coffee cups from the stack, and pouring Luna a cup, he presented it to her, kneeling, his free arm swept to the side as he bowed forward, the hand with the coffee cup extended towards the Vice Principal.

"Here is your cup of Liquid Ambrosia, chilled for your pleasure, Madam Vice Principal."  Growling the last words, he felt Luna take the cup, then as she walked by, she shoved him and down he went.

Luna sat down at the table and returned. "Aren't you going to join us, your coffee is getting warm?  Come now, I didn't push you that hard."

Rising, he took another bow, "As Thou wish Madam Vice Principal, I shall join thee post haste."  Striding to the table he sat next to the Charcoal object of his affection, sipping the wonderment that he and the girls had created.





Waving Ms. Shimmer and Ms Sparkle off to their first period and bidding good bye to Vice Princeapal Luna, Prometheus strolled into his first period class.  Intro to Science. Glancing around all he saw was slumped teenagers and one rainbow haired girl that was gently snoring on her desk.  Smiling, a mischievious glint in his eye, placing his breifcase on his desk he withdrew two things.  The Air horn he triggered immediately, causing all his students jump in place.  The Rainbow Haired girl still snoring, huh, well he did admire dedication.  Turning to the Whiteboard he began to write his name with the marker from his bag then stopped.  Glancing at the marker he shook his head.

"Yeah, no."  Casting the marker aside he stood in front of his desk and sat.  "Hello Students, I am Professor Prometheus, please just refer to me as Professer.  Now I'm kind of starting in the middle of things so I want to ask you what was the last thing you remember your last science teacher taught."

"How to drink Malox directly from the bottle."  A pink haired girl exclaimed, "She had these big powerful lips and she would give us demonstrations on proper chugging techniques."

"Hahahaha!  I admit, I don't have those kind of lips, mine are all thin.  So, my chugging ability is not that great.  However, Ms. Pie is it?  I was referring to Science!  You know the study and observation of the world around us and all of its natural Principles?  How often did you guys do any experiments or class participation?"  Prometheus asked.

Suprisingly it was Sleeping Rainbow that answered, "In the order of your questions.  Yes, she is Pinkie Pie.  Other then the Malox thing not alot, Never and Not at all."

Prometheus got a rather stern look, "Does she still work for this school system?"

A rather soft spoken girl answered this time.  "No, she did three labs in a row with Sunset and Twilight, then ran for the doors.  We never saw her again.  I'm Sorry.  Did you know her?"

"Hahahaha! Serves her right!  Alright, I can see none of you are in any shape to learn like this.  So first everyone stand up."

The students glanced at each other, while even Ms. Dash seemed curious.

"Alright, no interest in being in this classroom right now and there's a lovely area just outside the cafeteria that'd serve perfectly for demonstrating the practical applications of Newtons laws of force.  So we're all going outside.  Now.  The scientist of old spent their time in labs and out in the world.  They loved to understand the interplay and narratives of that which went on around them.  Most of the time they got things wrong, but the scientific method meant that we all had something to check ourselves against.  So in the interests of those early pioneers, form up together and we are not wasting a nice day inside."  His students gathered by the door and Prometheus led them out of the four walls that locked away their mind, and hopefully led them into a bigger world, that would encourage their minds to be free.
