Author's Note; Hello everyone! Please don't kill me for this, it's my first Sherlock Holmes fanfic, inspired by a brilliant story by a great author called Bloodroot Godot. (The story is called SherPod and I suggest you go read it!) With one difference, mine is based off anything and everything I think of, so there will be some pretty random stuff, of all lengths, coming up!

Just a short one to begin with to see what you all think!

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, own anything that is Sherlock Holmes ... sadly i dont even own the chemicals :(

Enjoy! And please review! I really do want to know what you think!

The Common Sugar Cube

"Watson?"

Watson glanced up from the book he was reading with a sigh.

"What is it Holmes?"

"Are you aware of any reaction between Potassium Chlorate and the common sugar cube?"

Watson raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"What for?" He asked slowly, contemplating the meaning of his words.

"Well, according to my calculations these two should not be so incredibly reactive with one another and it puzzles me as to why no one has ever documented the reaction if it is in fact safe to perform."

"Perhaps, Holmes, someone has done it, but found it too boring an experiment to write down." The Doctor suggested.

Holmes considered this but decided to dismiss it and went back to his work

"No, I believe they put down the boring experiments too Watson. Remember last week when I was testing the effects of calcium and water? That didn't do much."

Watson grimaced then glared at Holmes' back at the remembrance of Gladstone covered in still fizzing, chalky white calcium.

Mrs Hudson had not been pleased. Especially since the dog had paniked and tried to shake the bubbling liquid from him.

Watson cautiously marked his place in his book and set it down on the table, all the while never taking his eyes from the detective's back.

"Holmes are you sure you have all the calculations correct?" He asked.

Holmes merely laughed his barking laugh as he continued to set up his new experiment adding very large quantities of Potassium Chlorate to a large beaker and lit the Bunsen burner.

Without another word a worried Watson hurried to the makeshift lab table and pulled over the sheet of calculations.

He sighed in exasperation as the doctor looked over the jumbled list of calculations Holmes had used to determine the results of the reaction.

Holmes interrupted after a few minutes into struggling to find any order to the chemical calculations.

"Is it to your satisfaction Doctor?" He asked.

Watson's head shot up.

And the sugar cube dropped.

Inspired by my chemistry teacher. :D

For anyone who wants to know the reaction that actually occurred, go to youtube and search 'Potassium Chlorate and gummy bear' J
