Eddie grinned as Ryan mentioned eating before they got there. [color=DodgerBlue]“What can I say - this is a bottomless pit!”[/color] He chuckled as he patted his stomach. Tommy then turned to Miranda as she asked if someone would come looking for the crystals. 

[color=Firebrick]“I don’t know,”[/color] he replied. [color=Firebrick]“Who knows how long this container was underwater before washing up on the shore. Though it must be made of a strong metal to still be in such good condition.”[/color]

[color=DodgerBlue]“Maybe we could ask Professor Cranston to take a look at them?”[/color] Eddie suggested. Billy Cranston was an instructor from Caltech who managed the Youth Science Lab at Angel Grove High School, which provided science-minded students with accelerated classes to better prepare them for college. Eddie had spent a lot of time there during his junior year studying Advanced Placement Chemistry, and had already signed up for Advanced Placement Physics in his upcoming senior year. 

[color=Firebrick]“You know him better than we do - if you think he might know what these are, then we should ask him once school starts back up next week,”[/color] agreed Tommy. 

[color=DodgerBlue]“He’s already spending most days at the Lab preparing for the start of the school year, we should go ask him right now!”[/color]

[color=Firebrick]“What do you guys think?”[/color] Tommy asked the group. [color=Firebrick]“Also… Do you guys feel a strange pull to these crystals? This sounds crazy, but it’s almost as if it [b][i]chose[/i][/b] me or something…”[/color]

[color=DodgerBlue]“Yeah, dude!”[/color] Eddie nodded his head rapidly. [color=DodgerBlue]“This feeling is so weird!”[/color]
