Who: The students of Wechester High School of STEM and The Arts and YOU!
What: Concert, Displays of the Arts and a Science Fair!
When: Saturday October 31st to Sunday November First.
Where: The big park in the center of town.
Warnings: None.

The students at Wechester High have been working very hard to get ready for this day. Many hours were spent after school and on weekends with students perfecting dance routines, working on scientific presentations that go far beyond the usual volcanos and demonstrations on the electrical properties of a potato. There are so many talented musicians and performers and scientists in the school that it shouldn't be any wonder why they were showing off.

The first day of presentations leans towards the arts. The stage is set and used for different musical acts, dancers, short comedy routines that get huge laughs from the crowd. And there are art displays everywhere for people to look at. Sculptures. Sketches. Paintings. There's even a section dedicated to the culinary arts with students demonstrating some amazing proficiency with knife skills and talents with making unique and creative recipes.

All foods are up for sampling, and a few are up for sale. Buy some food. Enjoy.

The second day is dedicated to science projects everywhere. Marvel at a display of a working floating rail system, done by a kid who looks a lot like a much younger Jerry. There are presentations on energy conservation, displays on various and interesting gardening techniques that conserve water. Really, it seems as though there isn't anything these kids didn't think up.

So wander. Enjoy the various displays and concessions. Listen to some amazing music. Enjoy your weekend!

Let's go with [the next two hours] and Billy can just pretend he understands.

Look. How Billy ended up strolling past a heap of science experiments is of no real importance, but he remembered Gwen telling him about the school thing and figured he could at least do a lap in some show of support for the school and it's students.

Mostly, he's just really confused by a lot of it. Technology is far more advanced here than anything he's ever been used to and he gets the feeling that it's not just the whole space thing, but it's interesting, at least. And it beats sitting in his apartment alone all night.

He's passing by yet another table when the kid stands abruptly, greeting him and there's something about the kid that makes Billy stop, instead of just smiling and waving as he continues on. It's an odd feeling that sits in the back of his head that he shrugs off in favour of actually listening to what the kid has to say.

This kid is a grade A nerd. He talks a little too fast and remains super energetic in his explanation. "So it's basically like a really simple version." He finishes saying, crossing his arms over his jacket.

"I think we have a really good chance of winning because-" And he's back on another tangent about how advanced his project is.

Billy just watches, kind of baffled by how many words are coming out of the kid's mouth and so lost that even Newt, who sits patiently at his feet, looks at him like he can see his brain oozing out of his ears.

"Ah, yup. That sounds... awesome?"

"Doesn't it?" Peter says excitedly. "I mean-honestly I wanted to also add a few more things because I have this idea about how to make it solar powered but I couldn't figure it out in time before the project's due date." He explains like Billy is aware of what he's talking about.

"And, anyway-the judging's in a few hours and I think we're gonna crush this."

[tightjeans]

"What would making it solar powered mean?" Not that he has any real idea what that means, other than it'd use the sun. "Wouldn't it be pointless if there was no sun?" Wow, alright, maybe Billy really did need to just sit down and spend some time just trying to catch up on what the hell had happened in the world between now and his own time.

"I'm sure you will. Sounds like you know what you're on about." Mostly, to Billy, he just sounded a lot like Max's weird friends.

Kinda made him miss them.
