[Kevin's actually flipping through a book as the camera turns on. He's not really reading it, just paging through it.]

So Barge High is a thing. What about after high school? Is there any chance of Barge U?

[megamind]

I -- don't think we have the resources for that. Though you could certainly have private study and so on, and one-on-one work...

[fire_punk]

That might be better. Schools usually use a lot of books, don't they?

"Hi my name is Kevin and I want to introduce an entire higher learning institute to the Barge for greater learning and purpose.

Shit we probably need those things called books that I've seen on TV a few times."

[fire_punk]

Oh, shut up, Chris. That's not what that was about.

[mistconduct]

BOOKS. WHAT ARE WORDS.

[fire_punk]

Yeah, books. But not because we might not have them. I'm sure the Admiral could get them if we couldn't get them in a port.

[mistconduct]

We have a library on deck. Of course we have books.

[fire_punk]

Yeah, but who knows if we have the books for college stuff.

[mistconduct]

What would you even have as a major?

[fire_punk]

Weather... Meteorology.

[mistconduct]

Wanna be a weatherman?

[fire_punk]

Hell, no. [He makes a face.] I want to know how not to screw up any planet we port at if I have to use my stepmom's powers.

[mistconduct]

Oh. Well that's easy. Don't use 'em.

[fire_punk]

They're less likely to kill someone by accident. And what if I don't stay here forever? I'd rather know what I'm doing.

[mistconduct]

Don't stay here forever. That's a shitty idea.

There's gotta be someone else who has weather-related powers. Or you could dick around in the CES for a while.

[fire_punk]

No, it's an awesome idea.

Yeah, the CES will help. But I don't want to end the world over something stupid like a rainstorm.

[mistconduct]

No, it's like the worst idea in the history of fucking ever.

Bullshit, you couldn't do that.

[fire_punk]

I don't want to go anywhere else.

Yeah, you can. It's why I really wasn't supposed to use them alone until I finished college.

[mistconduct]

That's because you haven't been to all the cool places.

And when you finished college you would just magically know how to use them?

[megamind]

Yeah, they certainly do.

[fire_punk]

Yeah, private study's better. I'm not good with books.

[bodilesswarrior]

University is a bit more complicated - there are lots of options, lots of hours, lots of equipment you need. I think Megamind's right - one on one might work better.

[fire_punk]

So what would we need to study weather?

[bodilesswarrior]

That would fall under meteorology. [Her brow furrows, a bit.] But you'd need math and physics, first.

[fire_punk]

I knew there was a fancy word for it. [He grins.] Lewis was going to send me to college for that but things got crazy.

Math's fun. There should be books for both in the library, right?
