WARNINGS! DO NOT ASK ME CHEMISTRY QUESTIONS! I AM A BEGINNING CHEMISTRY STUDENT! I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOU!

"Ed?" The blond alchemist turned around and raised his eyebrow at the girl staring at him.

"Umm..." She said.

"What?"

"Well, I read that you're supposed to be able to use grape juice as an indicator-you know, to find out if something's an acid or a base?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well...it's not working."

"Why are you using grape juice?"

"The science book said it would work..."

"Just use some litmus paper for crying out loud."

"But you're supposed to be able to use grape juice...but when I put soap in it, it doesn't turn yellow."

"Well,-wait a minute. If you already know it's a base, why are you testing it?"

"For my science homework!"

"Just use some litmus paper then!"

"...Do you have any?"

"Me? No, I don't carry it. Just use grape juice or whatever it is you're using, OK?"

The boy turned back to his own "homework", diving into the alchemy book he'd been so rudely pulled away from moments ago.

"...But it said you could use grape juice...Ed? ...Ed? ...I still have to finish my homework..." Ed ignored her until she wandered from the room.

This may or may not be a oneshot. It depends on if inspiration strikes me again anytime soon while I'm doing chemistry.

Please R&R! Oh by the way...did it not work because it was frozen concentrated grape juice? Do I need the straight stuff? Or what...I eventually had to go find some litmus paper, which was hiding in the cabinet. Does anybody know?

And yes, this is a true story. Well...except for the part about me asking Ed about it.
