            “I don’t get it.”

            Lance sighed. “What are you doing?”

            “Physics homework.”

            “Ahh…” The Dragon Master winced in sympathy. “I had to take it a few years ago. Rather a handful, ne?”

            “I don’t understand why I even have to learn it. Biology is so much more fun!”

            “Well, to learn chemistry, you need physics, and to learn biology, you need chemistry. It’s like a pyramid and you’re building the base.”

            “Yes, but I don’t care about these things!” Red slammed his book shut, sending papers flying as a pen clattered to the ground.

            “Well, if you apply it to pokémon battling, I suppose it isn’t completely worthless.”

            Red coughed. “And how would I do that?”

            Lance settled himself more comfortably on the couch, fluffing up a fuzzy pillow. “I defeated an opponent once, by having my pokémon create bubbles of colored water that would disappear in the sunshine. It knocked out her entire team.”

            “Wow, really?”

            “It’s on videotape in the archives if you would like to watch.”    

            “Bloody wicked!”

            “Yes. So physics is not wholly worthless. We walk with it and talk with it, and battle with it too…”

            “I guess you’re right.” Red sighed.

            “Besides, it’s only another few weeks before class ends, right? And then you’ll never need to take it again.”

            “All right!” Red’s eyes began to burn with determination. “I’ll go for it!”

            Lance chuckled, and Red went back to his homework, feeling better.

Yes, a ficlet! Apparently that’s anything over 100 words that’s not a drabble. Hm. No romance in this one, just friendship unless you squint…
