Yea another chapter, another one shot on Chris and Sally. They are right behind #3&4 and 1-362 on my favorite couple list. A science fair project brings them closer together

. website where I got the project. So I don't own that either.

Disclaimer- I don't own

She just picked me to be her science partner and I am loving every moment of this. The project was on natural disasters. So there was going to be a lot of tornadoes in a bottle and erupting volcanoes. We had to do something different that know what else had thought off.

"Sally I have an idea about the science fair project. How about a model earthquake!? Its perfect I know a website we can go to get the stuff. Or even a model hurricane?" Okay now I was rambling but this was going to be fun my favorite class project with my favorite girl. Oh gosh I just called Sally my favorite girl I hope I didn't say that out loud.

"U mm there is something you have to know," she said slowly. What did I do now, maybe I really did say that out loud. I must have zoned out because she was snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Chris are you okay?" she looked nervous and like she was going to get sick.

"I'm fine are you okay? You look like your going to get sick." Then very gently I put my hand on her face. She wasn't that warm and she was turning a bright red. I quickly took my hand away.

"Well uh Chris science isn't my best class like it is yours. In fact I'm getting a 'D-'so could you please help me. I really want to get an 'A.'

"Sure sally we'll do so good we'll get an A+ on this project." Then she wrapped her arms around me hugging me. She quickly turned away and said, "that would be wonderful."

"Okay so we have a choice between a tsunami and a model earthquake those are the ones most kids wouldn't know how to make."

"Are you kidding Chris I don't even know what a tsunami even is. I really don't like science that much too even pay attention."

"Okay then an earthquake it is. First we need a eight by eight pan and two ounces of gelatin jelly. Spoon measuring cup and a knife then follow these rules. Simple yet elegant no?'

"Easy for you to say your good at this stuff. But yea it does sound easy enough to do. So then what." Then I broke out into a long explanation about the project in detail. One thing I did notice out of the corner of my eye was sally's little brother Kenny taping us with a video recorder.

"That's about it," I just finished. Then Kenny was gone. Drat I was going to catch him in the act.

'Sounds easy lets get started by find the research. The Richter scale and pictures and what an earthquake does. That is the information I pasted on to a piece of cardboard.

"Great and here is the finished product." Her mom driving us to school we go to the fair just in time.

--------the science fair-------

''That is the information on a earthquake and it is measured by the Richter scale. For a visual effect we have made a working model earthquake with gelatin jelly," said sally presenting the project to the judge.

Then I just did the simple steps to make it work.

Lay down a piece of plastic wrap onto the counter.

Cut the plastic wrap in half ... keep both edges touching at this point.

Gently warm the bottom of the pan until you can slide out the gelatin from inside of it.

Slide the gelatin out of the pan and onto the plastic wrap.

Try to keep half of the gelatin on each side of the plastic wrap cut.

Now cut the gelatin in half to match the cut in the plastic wrap.

You are going to slide the gelatin halves past each other. The cut between these two halves represents a "fault."

Watch as your "fault" builds up energy that is released in the gelatin earthquake!

Needless to say I thought the project was pretty good. Our science teacher was nodding and smiling. So did my friends, Hoagie, Scott and Darren. One person who looked mad was Angela. Her volcano didn't work at all but it did look good.

Then she slammed her fist down on the table that cause her volcano to explode and the model tornado in the model to fly in the air and hit Principal Franklin on the head. Man that girl is rough. Thank goodness she wasn't my favorite girl that was Sally Beetles and my grandma.

We did win 2nd prize the first being a girl with a Rube Goldberg project. Now that was cool. I was walking to the pizza parlor with my favorite girl on my arm and admiring out prize.
