Each girl goes to a different part of the room to work on her own independent research project, while Miki, having been elected as the study group's monitor, walks around offering his assistance.

The scene flashes to the wall of the Shadow Girls. They appear, respectively, holding test tubes and other apparatuses. Using sing-song whispers, they both speak, "Do you know? Do you know? Have you heard the news?"

A-ko continues, raising her bubbling flask dramatically, "Oh dear girl, what do you know?"

B-ko answers, "There are eight young women, with plans of their own. They are so intent, they don't seem to realize…"

A-ko nods, "Each one has a purpose, but what of the man? How will he fare?"

Their voices join in harmony as they bob up and down, "Do you know? Do you know? How will he fare?"

Back in the lab, we see that all of the girls do look rather intent on their projects. Utena has taken up a position in the corner of the room, her reagents carefully laid out in front of her. She takes notes as she mixes small portions of them together. Miki walks over and inquires, "Miss Utena, what did you decided to do for your independent study project?"

Utena looks up from her work, then glances around warily. She spots Wakaba on the far side of the room and lets out a soft sigh of relief, " Do you promise you won't tell her?" Miki, having followed Utena's gaze, nods. Scanning the room several more times, Utena beckons Miki to examine her concoction. She grins broadly, "An anti-glomping agent! I've discovered an interesting side effect: It keeps your knees from melting in situations with an unnaturally high rate of manipulation. A few drops of this and no one will be able to resist! Not Wakaba, not even Akio! " Miki sweatdrops, but none the less approves and walks to the other side of the table.

Juri also has bottles of various heights lined up in front of her, along with several text books and a chart. She waves to Miki, wearing a totally un-Juri like smile. Grinning, she points to one of the open textbooks. Following her finger, Miki reads to himself, "In any female, once the homoase enzyme is stimulated, her preferences, sexually, increase in standard to become a 'little less straight.'" Miki, true to the Energizer Bunny standard, wishes his luck and quickly moves on.

He passes by the fume hood, under which Anthy has stuck her head and is inhaling deeply. Horrified, and fearing for her safety, Miki pulls her out. Glancing at the chemicals on her table, he determines that the only chemical that could possibly be formed is carbon dioxide. He stammers, "Miss Himemiya, if you don't follow the safety protocol, I… I'll just have to force you to leave… and I really don't want to do that…"

A very very high Anthy giggles, wrapping her arms around his neck and whispering playfully, "It's okay…" Her inhibitions having been removed, she kisses him fully on the mouth, before waddling her way back to the lab bench to mix some more chemicals. Miki clicks his stopwatch, and looks down at in it a dazed state. He murmurs, "Three minutes… and forty two seconds… damn…" He vainly attempts to stop a spontaneous nosebleed with a cork.

He is immediately jolted back to the present situation by Nanami's annoyingly high-pitched laughter. He sees that she has set up a four-foot canister next to her table. Hooking the tank up to a small funnel, she places it over her mouth and nose and breaths in its gaseous contents. Bending down to read the label, he blinks, "Nitrous oxide…? Laughing gas…? Nanami!" He takes the funnel from her and points it at the door, "I cannot condone such conduct in the lab."

Through her hysterical giggles, Nanami manages to gasp out, "But… you let Anthy… stay. I should… report… such a lack of… discretion… to my Oniisama…"

As another fit of laughter completely takes her over, Miki waves the funnel underneath her nose, "Fine. Just stop!"

Before he can say anything else, his attention is captured by a soft but mischievous call of, "Oniichan, I need to use the safety shower."

An already enraged Miki turns to face his wickedly smiling sister as she begins to peel her clothes off. Noticing that nothing seems to be burning her cloths, or anything else for that matter, he turns her around and states quietly, "No. You don't." By doing so, he notices the chemicals she has lined up at her workspace: strong acids, strong bases, and several containers of toxin. He spins her around again, much to her delight, and squeaks, "WHAT are you doing with doing with *those?*"

Kozue smiles, "Salt analysis, of course." He sighs and makes his way to the other end of the table where Wakaba experiments with several thick solutions ranging from blue to green to yellow. Noticing Miki, she smiles cheerfully, holding up a dark green flask, and explains, "Saionji-sama wants his to dye his hair half a shade darker, so I promised to help!" Miki smiles and nods and keeps walking.

Miki leans to where Karen is bent intently over several vials. "Karen-sama? Karen… sama…?" Miki pokes her, causing her to jump several feet and nearly knock of some other experiments.

She looks around, confused, "Hai?"

Miki valiantly tries to be patient, "What are you working on Karen-sama?"

Karen blushes and points to a petri dish of white powder, "This…stuff."

Miki nods, thinking that he has finally found someone who is doing a *normal* experiment, "Which is?"

Karen grins evilly, "The chemical equivalent of a straightjacket." Miki blanches. Karen nods and continues, "The Dean personally commissioned the project, promising to cover any funds involved." Miki nods pleasantly and backs away from the table.

Becka sits typing furiously at the lab's computer. Next to her is a pile of printouts about five feet in height. There are several piles of varying books, and four or five scribbled-on notepads. Becka herself is devilished in appearance, with bloodshot eyes from staring at the screen. Miki stands beside her and comments, "Becka-kun, you should really use lab time for an actual experiment."

Before he can utter another word, Becka reaches up a surprisingly strong arm to yank him down to her eye level. She grits, "Experiment??? You want to see my experiment???" She drags him over to an exceptionally long lab table covered in racks of test tubes, chemical ingredients, petri dishes, Bunsen burners, beakers, pipettes, glass stirrers, two thermometers, forceps, and any other of equipment that can possibly be found in a Chem. lab. Holding up her finished sample, she points back the computer, "My experiment requires a live male sacri… er, vict… er…. volunteer!"

Miki blinks in surprise, "For what?"

Becka shakes her head, wondering how someone as smart as he could be so dense, "To see if it works, baka!"

Blinking innocently, Miki ignores the sound of the safely shower turning on, "Well, what's your experiment supposed to do?"

Before Becka can answer, there is a commotion that starts on the other side of the room. Anthy, having been invited over by Juri, bumps into the sempai's experiment in surprise when Juri attempts to force a white tablet down her throat. The experiment fizzles it's way across the surface of the table and pours onto Utena's hand. In surprise, Utena jerks back, tossing a test tube she'd been holding to the next table. The test tube falls smack on top of Nanami's head, and gets stuck in her massive hair, while dripping it's contents down her nose. She tumbles back, still giggling maniacally, and bumps into Kozue, who is now thoroughly cleansed of all chemicals and has returned to her table to spill more on herself. However, since Nanami was covered with an anti-glomping reagent, Kozue is propelled across the room into Wakaba's lap. Now totally covered in green goo, Kozue gleefully skips back to the safely shower. In shock, Wakaba backs up into Karen, causing two petri dishes to fly from her hands. One dish clatters harmlessly to the ground while the other is dumped entirely over Becka. Overwhelmed by the force of the chemical straightjacket, Becka is forced to drop the test tube she is holding and its contents explode, literally, under Miki's nose.

As the veil of smoke lifts from the room, it reveals Miki unconscious on the floor, and all the girls, charred, but relatively unharmed. Juri runs over to Becka and questions, "Kasan kusu kuku?"

Becka blinks, looking at Juri askance, "Tutu no tatewake?"

As everyone in the room gazes at one another, they all break out speaking, "Kamate?" "Tusu?" "Shimata!" "Chisa" "Chuchu!" and finally, "Lipton rabbits?"

Everyone looks at Wakaba and simultaneously sweatdrops.

From across the campus, the Dean of students gazes through his Opera glasses at the Chemistry Lab. Not willing to turn down the challenge presented to his manipulative abilities, he forces the girls to write down a well-known phrase in the language that they were speaking… the 'Chick' Speech.

The Chick Speech:

English:

"If it cannot hatch from it's shell, the chick will die without ever truly being born. We are the chick; the world is our egg. If we don't break the world's shell, we will die without truly being born. Smash the world's shell, for the Revolution of the World."

German:

"Wenn es nicht aus seinem Ei schlüpfen kann würde das Kücken sterben, bevor es jemals richtig gelebt hat! Wir sind das Kücken. Die Welt ist unser Ei. Wenn wir die Eierschale der Welt nicht durchbrechen, sterben wir bevor wir jemals richtig gelebt haben. Zestört die Schale, um die Welt zu revolutionieren." (Corrected version thanks to: Anne)

Spanish:

"Si no puede salir de su cascara, el pollito morira sin jamas haber nacido. Somos el pollito, el mundo nuestro huevo. Si no rompemos la cascara del mundo, moriremos sin jamas haber nacido. ¡Romper la cascara del mundo, para Revolucionarlo!" (Corrected version thanks to: narie)

Spanish: (version 2)

"Si la cáscara del huevo no se rompe, el polluelo morirá sin haber nacido. Nosotros somos el polluelo. El huevo es el mundo. Si la cáscara del mundo no se rompe, nosotros moriremos sin haber nacido. Rompan la cáscara del mundo. Para revolucionar el mundo!" (Correction of corrected version thanks to: Marisabel)

Portuguese:

French:

"Si il ne sors pas de la coquille, le poussin mourra sans toujours vraiment tant n. Nous sommes le poussin; le monde est notre oeuf. Si nous ne brisons pas la coquille du monde, nous mourra sans toujours vraiment tant n. Fracassez-vous la coquille du monde, pour La R volution de le Monde." (Corrected version thanks to: Midori)

Italian:

"Se non riesce a rompere il guscio del suo uovo, il pulcino morira' senza mai essere veramente nato. Noi siamo il pulcino, il mondo e' il nostro uovo. Se non rompiamo il guscio del mondo, moriremo senza essere mai nati. Rompiamo il guscio, per la rivoluzione del mondo." (Corrected version thanks to: Enui)

Several hours later, the girls smile in relief as the chemical effect wears off. Becka is about to open her mouth when, she trips and lands right on top of the still prone Miki. Miki opens his eyes and blinks. He spots Becka, who is clinging to his chest and attempting to stand, and he smiles, "Well, hello my beautiful sexy Shining Thing."

Everyone in the room does a double take, except Becka, who grins evilly.

Karen: "Miki…"

Nanami: "said…"

Juri: "the…"

Utena: "word…"

Kozue: "sexy…?"

Becka's smile widens as she jumps up to her feet, doing a small victory dance, "It works!"

Everyone blinks at her, even Miki. There is a simultaneous murmur of, "What… works…?"

Becka sweatdrops and backs up against the wall, "My… experiment…"

Kozue picks up Becka and slams her against the wall, holding her there, "WHAT did you DO to him???"

Becka 'erps,' "I made a mega-playboy…?"

Miki springs fluidly upwards and glides to where Kozue stands. He wraps his arms low around her waist and coos softly, "Now now, let her down, Kozue…"

Kozue attempts to NOT melt into a happy little puddle. She manages to whisper, "Why should I…?"

Miki nibbles softly on her ear and murmurs, "Because, I'll show you 101 reason why…"

Nanami's hands clench into fists in a jealous rage as Kozue and Miki exit with the parting line of, "Let me show you the proper procedure for using the safety shower…"

Juri and Utena converge on Becka, "Turn. Him. Back."

Becka cowers in the corner and stammers, "It's not my fault… I only mixed up the formula so that *I* could get my own playboy! I didn't mean it to be Miki, but while I was looking on the Internet for a lab rat, he made me get up! And then, something sort of knocked it out of my hands… and… and… and I don't know how to turn him back!"

Juri and Utena do not seem pleased with this. They turn to Anthy for help… only to find that Anthy is curled up under the Fume hood with a serene smile. Juri turns back to Becka, "Find a way."

Becka spends an hour researching on her computer, as Juri, Utena, Nanami, and Kozue take turns 'learning to use' the safety shower. Miki boldly strides over to where Becka sits, using his awe-inspiring charm to tempt her away from the computer. She fights with all her might, but is drawn slowly towards the infamous shower. Just before she takes her final and fatal step, she sees Wakaba playing with what is left of Juri's experiment. She runs down the halls, minus most of the clothing that Miki has manipulated off of her, and screams 'Eureka.' She realizes that she is a) running away from the lab, b) running away from Miki, and c) scantily clad. She 'erps' and scrambles back the confused population of the Chemistry Lab. She grins and grabs the last of Juri's tablets away from Wakaba before she can eat it. Grabbing Miki, she attempts to force the pill down his throat before he can force his tongue down her throat. Successful, she steps back and grins, "What do you get when you take a mega-playboy and add a pill guaranteed to turn any female into a lesbian?"

Juri blinks, "Well, what do we get?"

Becka hops up and down happily, "Miki!" She moves away from the shower as an endearing blush spreads across Miki's face when he realizes that a) she not clad, and b) he's the one holding the rest of her clothing. With an 'erp' he dives underneath the fume hood. Anthy looks up, "Well, hello there."
