Chapter 2: Trust the Process, Bro…
The next day, they met at Ethan’s house to work. Ethan
brought snacks. “Alright, I got chips, soda, and—”
Ray interrupted, “—and absolutely no clue how to do
physics.”
Ethan ignored him. “I was thinking we could build a rocket.
How hard can it be?”
“Ethan,” Ray said slowly, “you once set off the fire alarm
because you microwaved a spoon.”
Ethan puffed his chest. “That was an experiment.”
“Yeah,” Ray said, “an experiment in stupidity.”
But Ethan was determined. “Trust the process, bro. Elon Musk
started somewhere.”
“Yeah,” Ray muttered, “but not in the dumb zone.”
After several failed attempts, Ethan actually built
something that vaguely resembled a rocket. He poured in soda and vinegar,
slapped on duct tape, and shouted, “We’re going to space, baby!”
Ray dove behind the couch. “Ethan, that’s not how rockets
work!”
Ethan pressed the button. The rocket exploded with a loud pop,
splattering vinegar across the room. The curtains caught fire.
“Mission failed successfully!” Ethan yelled triumphantly
while fanning smoke with a pizza box.
Ray looked at the mess and deadpanned, “Congratulations, you
just invented the world’s first stupid bomb.”
After the fire department left (for the third time that
year), Ray decided to write the report himself. Ethan protested. “Hey! We’re
partners!”
“Fine,” Ray said. “You can be in charge of writing your
name. Don’t spell it wrong this time.”
Ethan frowned. “Bro, that was one time. I was
stressed.”
“You spelled it ‘Eathen’.”
“It’s a creative choice.”
