School Reunion

A/N: This is only the first chapter, no others will be posted on this site. I only made this account because another wattpad user had started to post my stories without my permission. If you would like to read the rest of the completed story, please see the external link ;)

~8~ is a scene break.

~/~\~ is a flashback/memory

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who. If I did, a Time Lady (cough, Romana, cough) would have fallen through the Cracks in Time (series 5) and returned from E-Space.

Now, on to the story :)

~8~

The Doctor walked in to the physics lab to see a group of children sitting there, far too young to be taught such a subject, yet apparently the school found them ready. He placed his briefcase down on the desk and turned to face the class.

"Good morning, class," he grinned at them, "Are we sitting comfortably?"

The class just looked at him so he turned and scrawled the word 'physics' in capital letters on the whiteboard behind him, underlining it for extra emphasis, "So. Physics!" he replaced the cap of the pen and chucked it towards the desk, turning back to them, "Physics. Eh? Physics. Phyyyyyyyysics. Physics! Physics. Physics, physics, physics, physics, physics, physics, physics."

The children could only watch him, bemused.

He sniffed deeply, "I hope one of you is getting all this down. Um, okay, let's see what you know. Two identical strips of nylon are charged with static electricity and hung from a string so they can swing freely. What would happen if they were brought near each other?"

A small boy with red hair and glasses raised his hand.

"Yes, uh, what's your name?" the Doctor frowned.

"Milo," he answered.

"Milo!" the Doctor grinned, "Off you go."

"They'd repel each other because they have the same charge," Milo answered.

"Correctamundo! A word I have never used before and hopefully never will again. Question two, I coil up a thin piece of micro wire and place it in a glass of water. Then I turn on the electricity and measure to see if the water's temperature is affected. My question is this: how do I measure the electrical power going into the coil?"

Milo's hand shot up once again.

"Someone else?" the Doctor looked around, but no one else in the class made a move, "Nope? Okay, Milo, go for it."

"Measure the current and PDs in an amp-meter and a voltmeter," Milo stated much to the amazement of his peers who looked at him impressed.

"Two to Milo!" the Doctor nodded, "Right then, Milo, tell me this; true or false: the greater the dampening of the system, the quicker it loses energy to its surroundings."

"False," Milo said quickly.

"What is a non-coding DNA?"

"DNA that doesn't code for a protein."

"Sixty-five-thousand-nine-hundred-and-eighty-three times five?" the Doctor started to frown at how quickly the boy was answering.

"Three-hundred-and-twenty-nine-thousand-nine-hundred-and-fifteen."

The students started to differ in reactions now, some looking impressed while others looked disturbed.

"How do you travel faster than light?"

"By opening a quantum tunnel with an FTL factor of 36.7 recurring."

The Doctor's mouth dropped open at the answer.
