Ten for Ten Challenge Anthology
Title:
Tenten on researcher mode was narrating to Neji and an amazed Lee how a person, who wore a powdered frizzy wig, named Isaac Newton discovered the workings of gravity. It was actually one of those intolerably hot days again wherein anybody would consider the feasibility of lying down peacefully on the cool green grass; especially if that anybody happened to be someone who just endured a rough training session with two of the best taijutsu-rookie-users of Konohagakure no sato.
"He actually had the idea when a fruit fell from a tree," said Tenten as she lithely jumped from branch to branch; picking off stray but edible fruits to throw at Lee and Neji while they rested on separate trees on the ground, "I still have to research on the details but I think he was resting beneath an apple tree when it occurred."
"So, he figured it out by just observing an apple that fell from a tree?" asked Lee, as enthusiastic as ever, "Tenten, from that mere concept, he must've been a real genius to have formulated a worldwide law accepted by scientists in all generations!"
She nodded solemnly, "yes," she leapt on another branch, "he's really quite a genius—"
The branch that she had stepped on snapped into two but before gravity could even inflict its painful wonders on Tenten, a pair of strong arms had already caught her— the owner, smirking with the entire world's smugness.
"Hn... if he was such a genius," said Neji, as Tenten's face visibly turned pink, "how come he didn't catch the apple when it fell?"
" Neji-kun..." Lee had a big grin on his face by then, "maybe the falling apple that Newton saw wasn't really the one that had caught his eyes."
My personal favorite. Nerdy apparel for Newton's Law of Gravity. Reviews are welcome & appreciated.
