Before [Girl Meets World]

Cory's Alternative Friends (1x04)

"In conclusion, some products we use everyday cause algae to grow in lakes..." a brunette said while pouring liquid into a giant beaker.

"...cutting off oxygen and disrupting the ecosystem," the blonde next to her continued while putting a fake fish in the beaker.

"So, what we've learned is that we must choose biodegradable products to help protect our environment." The blonde pulled out fake fish bones.

"Excellent report! Inspired visuals. Next team!" Feeny announced.

Cory and Shawn high-five before heading to the front of the classroom and pulling down a map. "How air pollution affects our everyday life."

"Excellent topic."

Riley and Maya shared a look. Their dads were goofballs as kids. This report was bound to be a mess.

The two boys stretched their metal pointers. Shawn slapped his stick on a random point on the map, only for it to be moved by Feeny. "Denver. Elevation: five thousand feet."

Cory did the same as Shawn. "Philadelphia. Lying low in the Delaware basin, 250 feet above sea level."

Riley stifled a laugh at her dad and Uncle Shawn. It was nice to be smarter than one of her parents for once. "This is gonna be a fun few hours."

"Not for me," Cory responded while replaying every stupid thing he's ever done all at once.

"Well researched."

Shawn once again pointed to a random spot on the map. This time George didn't correct him. "Denver. Clean crisp mountain air."

"Philadelphia. Polluted Industrial smog."

"Mile High Stadium: home of the Colorado Rockies."

"Veterans Stadium: home of the Philadelphia Phillies."

"I was never a straight-A student or anything, but, wow, this is bad," Katy commented, sneaking a playful glance at her husband.

Shawn didn't bat an eye at her. Instead, he stared straight at the screen. "Oh, it gets worse." The tips of his ears were tinged slightly pink.

"But at least it was dramatic," Cory said to make their report look a little better.

"Oh, here we go..." Feeny groaned.

Shawn walked to the teacher's desk. "The Rockies, a bogus expansion team, mind you, are averaging four more runs per game than anyone in the league... because of their clean air."

"Our theory is, if Philadelphia would clean up its smoggy air, the ball would slice through the atmosphere with a greater velocity," Cory explained, causing Mr. Feeny to shake his head.

Feeny was staring at the screen, bringing his hand up to shield his eyes, shaking his head along with the Feeny on the screen.

"Therefore the Phillies would score more runs."

"And win every home game. The end." The two boys closed their pointers and stared at Feeny. "So, how'd you like our report?"

"Stinks," George declared.

"Stinks!" Cory shouted to Shawn. "How'd you like my half?"

"Equally as terrible," Riley guessed humorously.

"Relax, Mr. Matthews, I blame myself."

"You do? Cool!" Cory and Shawn high-fived.
