(Night Time)
(Braedey's Room)

"And that's how it's done."

Since Kurumu, Moka and Braedey shared the same class schedule, they would do homework together. As usual, Kurumu never took her schoolwork seriously, seeing school as more of a social event than an academic one. All she was interested in was Braedey, so he used this to his advantage to help her with her homework. Even Yukari was present to lend a hand while also bragging about her intelligence. They were all in the American's dorm room sitting around a table doing math homework.

Kurumu now was even more confused. She couldn't understand a thing and it didn't help when a small alien was trying to explain things to her in technical terms. Yes, Braedey had assumed the form of Ratchet. He always used this form for homework.

Ratchet was a 25ft tall reddish-orange and white robot. He had medical signs on his shoulders, whilst his lower arms were the front fenders and front wheels of his vehicle mode. He had an intelligent looking face with red eyebrow crests above each eye. His chest had the doors of the alt-form's cab, whilst his back was structured like the back of an ambulance, and the Transformatrix insignia was in the centre of his chest

Yukari was the only one who could really get the terms he was talking in. Moka had an inkling of it, but it still went over her head. Kurumu, on the other hand, was completely lost.

"Wow!" Yukari gasped in delight. "I never thought of doing the problem that way!"

"Well, when using this form, I'm known for thinking outside the box." Ratchet grinned.

"I've got to admit." Yukari pointed out. "America has some really strange monsters for you to mimic, Braedey. It must be pretty good for you to be a doppelgänger, especially one as powerful as you."

Both Moka nad Braedey chuckled nervously, not knowing if both Kurumu and Yukari were ready to know the truth about aliens and other planets, or let alone the Transformatrix.

"I'll never get this." Kurumu moaned sadly, nearly banging her head on the heated table.

"Don't say that." Ratchet frowned. "Anyone can get this, if they think about it in the right way."

"That's true." Moka nodded. "I try to think of it as something fun. That helped me when I was having troubles with some things."

"Right." Kurumu pouted. "And just what am I supposed to think of that makes MATH fun?"

Holding his pencil in his two fingers without breaking it, Ratchet pondered the problem. He was lucky he was in this form now, or else the task at hand would have taken longer. Tapping the pencil on the side of his head a little longer, he suddenly got an idea.

"How about this?" Ratchet asked, using the pencil as a pointer. "If you can get at least a B on this homework and upcoming tests, I'll got on a lunch date with you for every B or higher."
