I OWN NOTHING! I do not own YJ. However I own the plot, "Marie", Basil, and ALEXander.

Basil kept a close eye on Richard. He didn't seem to stick out as much as some of the others. He simply walked beside her, looking at his schedule.

"Science, Mr. Lurlavisk, room 210," Richard said under his breath.

"We're almost there!" Basil chirped, grabbing his hand as she started to run.

Richard kept up with her well. He was best friends with Wally, so you had to be fast on your feet. Of course Wally was the fastest kid alive, and his uncle was the fastest man alive, so you never really stood a chance against them in sports or races. That is unless you make the "No Superpowers" agreement before you start playing.

They arrived just as the final bell rang. Richard walked into the room, behind Basil, who was making her way towards her desk. She sat her bag down and Richard heard, "You're late son!"

He turned to see a man. He looked to be his late 40s. He was a short, portly man with black hair that was greying. His eyes were a cloudy blue color, and for some reason, he reminded Richard of someone's grandfather. He had that kind of air about him.

"Mr. Lurlavisk this is our new student," Basil informed him politely. "This is Richard Wayne. Richard this is Mr. Lurlavisk."

"Nice to meet you sir," Richard said holding out his hand. "I apologize for my lateness. I had issues finding the classroom until Basil came and helped me."

Mr. Lurlavisk smiled and shook his hand.

"No problem my boy! No problem at all! Really they should have guides for the new students….why don't you take the empty seat next to Basil and she can catch you up," Mr. Lurlavisk smiled.

Richard nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Lurlavisk."

Basil sat down at her desk, and Richard sat next to her. She got out the science book. It said, Basic Biology. Richard frowned a bit. Biology? Basil took out her papers and quickly started to explain.

"We just wrapped up our plant unit…."

THANK GOD! Richard thought to himself.

"And we just started on punnett squares and the very basics of genetics. It's actually rather easy."

Dang if only Wally were here! He lived for this kind of stuff. He was a science nut all the way. Richard thought he was probably an English nut in Wally's eyes. Basil went on to explain the punnett squares and Richard followed along closely.

"So wait a minute!" he said. "Why do we have to fill these out if they're just possibilities?"

"Because we need to know our possibilities," Basil answered. "Don't question it, just do it."

Both of them sat in silence while the class also completed punnett squares.

"See everyone's doing them," Basil whispered quietly.

Richard nodded and continued. This was going to be a looooooooooooong class… but at least he had Basil to talk to.
