Astro and Robbie were working on how to return Astro back to the future when you came bursting through.

"Help me!" You cried. Astro and Robbie's eyes widened, and they rushed over to you.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Astro questioned as he gripped you by the shoulders. You had a look of panic stricken across your face. In your arms, you held text books.

"There's an upcoming physics exam and I need to pass with almost PERFECT scores!" You cried. Astro and Robbie gave you confused looks.

"Um, I thought that you were good at science." Astro said. You nodded.

"Yes, I am, but recently we had someone new transfer to our school and he's REALLY good at science. What am I if I can't keep my place at the top of the school?" You questioned. Astro and Robbie glanced at each other.

"Um, second place?" Astro and Robbie both said simultaneously. You frowned.

"Really, guys?" You deadpanned. Astro and Robbie smiled, and shrugged. You sighed, and held the text books out in front of you. "Can you please help me study for the exam?" Robbie patted Astro on the back.

"Why not ask the boy from the future? I'm sure that he will be willing to lend you his insight." Robbie told. Astro nodded. You smiled, and walked closer to Astro.

"Really!? Thank you!" You exclaimed. Astro's cheeks reddened a bit, and he nodded. Robbie smirked at him. Astro gave Robbie a look of confusion in which Robbie returned with a shake of his head. You made your way towards the bench, and dumped your text books onto the bench. You then turned to Astro. "Well? Shall we get started?" You questioned. Astro nodded, and walked over to you. He then sat down next to you.

"So, what are you stuck on?" Astro questioned. You took out your physics text book, and turned to the contents page.

"I'm not really stuck on them, but I need help revising. Maybe you could even teach me a thing or two on quadratic equations." Astro took the text book from you, and skimmed through the pages.

"Hmm, these contents are much older than the ones that I'm used to working with." Astro said. You rolled your eyes.

"Well, duh! We are a hundred years behind you." You remarked. Astro sweat dropped, and laughed nervously. You sighed. You then noticed Robbie flipping through some papers. "Hey, gramps. What are you looking at?" You questioned. Robbie jumped, and turned towards you with the papers behind his back.

"O-oh, this thing? Just some play I wrote in my younger days." You and Astro glanced at each other, and held your hands out.

"Let us see!" You exclaimed. Robbie's eyes widened. He then looked to the side.

"Um, I'm not sure that you'll want to see this." Astro had snuck up behind Robbie and snatched the papers out of his hands. Robbie gasped. "Hey! Why you little, give that back!" Astro walked up to you, and handed the manuscript to you. You thanked him and read through the pages with Astro reading over your shoulder. Once you got to the fifth page, you and Astro deadpanned at the scene. You and Astro then gave Robbie a disgusted look as Robbie shifted uncomfortably under your gaze. He then glanced at the two of you. "What?" You ripped the manuscript in half, and handed the remains to Astro. Astro took hold of the manuscript and used his rockets to burn the pieces of paper to ashes. Robbie gasped and cried out as he watched the ashes of his master piece fall to the ground.

"I can't believe that you wrote something like that. And even read it in FRONT of us!" You exclaimed. Robbie looked down in shame.

"I don't get it, what's the harm?" Robbie questioned. You frowned.
