Logic Falls

Chapter 2: Getting familiar.

Dipper had his schedule out as he walked around the school, trying to remember the tour, as he looked for the right classroom. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found the room he was looking for.

"305... Found it!" He said before quietly knocking on the door. The door soon opened as he saw the teacher look down on him. "H-Hey Miss... Is this the biology class?" He said as he showed his schedule.

She showed him a nice smile. "It is. You must be Dipper Pines. Welcome to your first class here." She said as she let him in.

As he entered, he saw a familiar face from earlier. It was Fluttershy. She noticed him too and showed him a smile as she gave him a small wave.

The teacher spoke up again. "Everyone, attention!" Each student's head looked up as the teacher signed for Dipper to come in front of the class. He did and the teacher continued. "We have a new student today. Dipper, would you like to introduce yourself to the class."

He felt some anxiety as he looked into the full class of students. "S-Sure... So, uh... My name is Dipper Pines and I uh.." He felt his voice cut off as more student's eyes locked on him.

The teacher noticed and stepped in again. "Very well, Dipper. Now, why don't you go find a seat?"

Dipper nodded and walked over to the closest clear table he could find while keeping from making eye contact with as many people as possible as he felt the embarrassment from before catching up to him.

He got the seat next to Fluttershy, somewhere near the back of the class, and let out a sigh as he sat down.

As the teacher started their lecture, Fluttershy quietly whispered to him. "H-Hey, uhm.. Are you okay..?" Fluttershy quietly asked before she saw his head turn her way.

"Oh, yeah, totally. I didn't just completely embarrass myself in front of a whole class or anything..." He said looking back down. "I'm just not good at introductions like this. With everyone's eyes on me. But, it's okay if you don't get it. It's pretty dumb.."

Fluttershy looked slightly surprised before responding. "Oh, no it's fine. I completely understand. I have the same problems myself whenever I have eyes on me. My ability to act normal just falls apart seemingly out of nowhere."

Dipper looked back at her with surprise, yet also of relief. "Wait, really?"

"Yea." Fluttershy nodded as she showed him a smile. "But yours wasn't that bad. I've had way worse.." She let out a small nervous laugh as her face turned into a slight embarrassment.

"Oh, wow." Dipper chuckled. "I guess if you say so.. But I still embarrassed myself.. I know shouldn't care so much, but I can't help it."

Fluttershy gave him a nod as she understood his worries. "I know that feeling. But they probably won't even remember it the next day. That's how I like to think about it, at least..."

"Yea, you're probably right.." Dipper smiled before their attention was brought back to the teacher. When they turned away again and weren't paying attention, Dipper turned back to Fluttershy. "Hey, thanks for just now. It was nice telling someone who actually knows how I feel."

Fluttershy heard and turned to him now too. "Oh, it's no problem at all." She continued. "But did you really have no one that feels the same as you before?"

He simply shook his head. "Nope. Mabel doesn't ever care what people think of her and there isn't much for anyone else either. The closest is my Grunkle Stan maybe but he doesn't like to share his feelings with people."

He explained before Fluttershy responded. "I see... Well, just know I'm always here. And my friends too. They've helped me through my anxiety for a very long time." She smiled.

"I guess. But it's only with introductions, really, so I don't see it as something to need that much help for. I'll be fine." He gave her a smile as he finished. "But thanks anyway. I appreciate it."

"Again, it's no problem. I'm always happy to help." She finished as she saw him look back in front of him at the teacher who was almost done with the lesson. She paid attention for the last few minutes too until they were told to pack up.

Fluttershy turned to Dipper to see him looking across his schedule. "Do you need help with that?"

He looked at her before responding. "Do you know where classroom 10 is?"

"Oh, sure." She smiled as she continued. "It's all the way down in the basement. Oh, and in case you have any trouble with the others, every floor is a hundred numbers higher. Like, for example, room 305 is on the third floor and so on."

"Oh wow, thanks." He put his schedule away and got his bag. "Well, I better get going. I'll see you another time, probably."

Fluttershy chucked before waving as he left. She smiled as she got her bag and also left for her next class.

---

Meanwhile, Mabel had a better time finding her first class as she took her time to ask others that were around. She soon understood the system and knew where to go.

"Classroom 12, here I come!" She said as she slid down the railing of the stairs. When she came down she looked around the area for the class she was searching for. After a small minute, she found where she was supposed to be. "Yes, found it!"

She then excitedly knocked on the door before seeing a man open the door. Once he saw her, he gave her a smile. "You must be Mabel Pines. Am I correct?" Mabel quickly nodded as he continued. "Amazing to see you. Seeing as this is your first art class here, I might as well take you through the rules and what we do here." He said as he let her in.

Once she stepped into the classroom, she immediately recognized a face there.

She let out a gasp as a smile appeared on her face. "Hey there, Pinkie Pie!" She also started waving, trying to grab the girl's attention.

She did and received the same smile. "Mabel! You're here too! This is amazing!"

Both smiled until Mabel's attention was brought back to the teacher. "Seems like you are already familiar with someone here." The teacher walked over to Pinkie's table where Mabel soonly followed. "Why don't you help her during today's class. You two seem to like each other."

Pinkie Pie quickly nodded. "Sure thing! I'll show you all the fun we can do, just you wait!" Pinkie cleared the table next to her and Mabel quickly sat down.

The teacher left and went to stand at the board to start the lecture. Once he finished, he looked over at Mabel. "And lastly, we have a new student. Mabel, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"

"Of course!" Mable got up from her seat with a smile. "Hey everyone, I'm Mabel! I'm from a small place called Gravity Falls! My brother is also at this school but he has different classes right now." Once she was finished, Mabel sat back down.

"Very well Mabel." The teacher finished. "Now, you all can work on the new assignment. I want something back from everyone at the end of the class. And remember to be creative with your works!"

Pinkie soon turned to Mabel. "So, what are you going to make? I'm going to make a fun mask! It sounds really fun!"

"It does!" Mabel laughed before replying. "I'm not sure yet. But I am sure that it's going to be something amazing!"

Both laughed as they started crafting their craft. Mabel soon got the idea of making clips to add to her sweater. She had all the material for it and she loved adding something to her sweaters to make them stand out.

"Okay, listen, I got something!" Mabel said as she turned to Pinkie. "So, I just got a great idea!"

Pinkie looked excited to hear it. "Ooh! Tell me!"

"My idea is to use these clips from the material box and decorate them! Then, I add them to my sweater!" She got one of the clips and put it against a part of her sweater. "You see, like this!"

"That sounds amazing! It will look so colorful! I love it!" Pinkie smiled before turning away. "Hold on!" She got the mask she was working on from her table and showed it to Mabel. "This is what I got so far! What do you think? Great isn't it?"

She then put it in front of her face. It was clearly not done but it already had a lot of colors and most importantly, lots of glitters everywhere. It was almost enough to blind someone, even though it wasn't even done yet.

But Mabel didn't seem to mind or even notice. "Most definitely! So much glitter!"

"What can I say? You can never have enough glitter!" Pinkie smiled followed by a laugh from both of them.

"Oh so true! You bet these things will have all the glitter too!" She got her clips again. "These will be amazing, I know it!" She smiled before they both turned to work on their projects again.

She made sure to not miss any colors while she decorated the clips and even used some stickers she had in her backpack. She also used lots of glitters that went everywhere but it was all worth it, seeing the shiny, colorful result in front of her at the end.

"Okay, everyone. The hour is almost over. I'd love to see everything everyone has made today!" The teacher announced to the class as he began walking across everyone's table.

"I can't wait 'till he sees mine! I bet he won't even recognize me!" Pinkie smiled before putting the mask in front of her face.

Mabel laughed as she turned to her friend, revealing a bunch of small and large clips with all kinds of designs pinned to her sweater. "Wait 'till he sees this!"

As they shared their creations together, they were caught off guard by the teacher who stood at their table. "I see you two have been really creative this hour. I love the designs, girls." He smiled, seeing what they've made.

Mabel's smile grew as she heard what he said to them. "Thanks, here!" She got one of her pins and gave it to him. "Since you like them so much." She said with a smile.

"Heh, thank you, Mabel. I'll make sure to keep it somewhere safe." He said before putting it in his pocket. He soon finished the tour around everyone's table and ended the class.

Mabel was getting off her seat and was about to head out when Pinkie Pie stopped her. "Wait, I got something for you!

She turned to see Pinkie getting something from her pocket. "What is it, Pinkie?"

Pinkie soon pulled out two small bracelets with beads in all colors of the rainbow. "Here, I made you a friendship bracelet! I also got one myself! Now we'll be great friends forever!" She smiled as she handed it to Mabel.

Mabel soon got it and wore it with a huge smile. "Wow, it's amazing! Thanks, Pinkie! I love it!" She soon gave her new friend a warm hug. They shared the embrace before Mabel said goodbye and left the classroom to go to her new class.

---

Dipper entered his next class with a good motivation to make his next introduction worth remembering. With the chat he had with Fluttershy earlier, he felt more confident this time around.

Knowing how the school's classroom system worked, he found his next class way quicker than before. Once he got to where he was supposed to be, he quickly double-checked, getting his schedule out.

"Classroom 10, mechanics." He checked the door label and confirmed it. "Yep, this is it!" He put his schedule back in his bag and, seeing how the door was open, walked into the classroom.

He first noticed all the workbenches and work tools inside. Along with all kinds of materials like wood, metal and even wire to an extend.

He was soon noticed by the teacher who quickly came to welcome his new student. "Hello there, I'm guessing you're Dipper Pines." He quickly confirmed and he continued. "Great! How about you get to a clear workbench and I'll have you introduced to the class soon."

"Will do, sir." Dipper smiled as he went back to the teacher's desk. He then looked out at his options where he noticed a familiar face.

It was Apple Jack who was putting on all kinds of equipment at her workbench. After seeing the clear desk next to her, he made his move and took the space there before anyone else could.

He then turned to Apple Jack and saw she also already saw him. He gave her a smile. "Hey, AppleJack, right?"

"Yup." She soon nodded. "Nice to see ya again."

"Yeah, same here." He noticed all the equipment. "So, what's all of that for?"

At that moment, she had worker gloves and a helmet that went around most of her face. She also had a long coat on that covered most of her body and clothes.

She just finished adding goggles before she responded. "We'll be workin' with wood today. Ya wouldn't want any splinters in your eyes now would ya?"

"Oh, yeah, no thanks!" He soon said before continuing. "Where did you get that from, anyway?"

She pointed over at the other side of the classroom where a long set of clothing recks was with all the tools and equipment you could imagine. "It's over there. If ya have any trouble with them, just call."

He quickly showed a smile before making his way there. He got a coat from the rack and after closing all the buttons, found the rest. He added gloves, a helmet, and lastly, put on the goggles.

The coat was a little big for him but seeing no better size, he went with it and got back to the shared workbench.

When he got back, he looked back at Apple Jack. "How's this? Pretty sure I got everything now."

"Ya did, just one thing," She walked over to him and cuffed the part of his sleeves that was too long. "It's better to have your hands free. Ya wouldn't want your sleeve gettin' stuck between somethin' while workin'."

"Yeah, thanks." He said before they both shared a smile.

Soon after, Apple Jack went back to her workbench and the teacher started the class. "Good day, everyone. As you might already know, we're going to be doing something simple today." He looked over at Dipper. "We have a new student here today, so this lesson is to get used to things that you're not that good at. But first, you can introduce yourself."

Dipper had prepared this time so found it easier to do so. "Okay, so, I'm Dipper Pines. I moved here with my twin sister Mabel. So, yea, a new school." He still let out a small nervous laugh. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than before.

"Excellent! Now, you all can start. I've left everything you need here. Good luck, everyone." The teacher said before sitting back in his chair.

Dipper saw Apple Jack and the others go to the teacher's desk and followed to find copies of blueprints. "Oh, blueprints, of course." He soon got past the wall of other students around it and got one.

He then went back to his workbench to see Apple Jack showing him a smile. "Ya know how that works, or?"

"I think so.." He looked down at it and saw the instructions were simple enough. "Yeah, I can understand it."

"Well, good luck then." She showed him a smile before they both started.

Seeing the instructions on the blueprint, He soon got everything he needed for the project. It was a bird's house. Fairly simple, and with an option to decorate it also included.

"I'll leave that up for Mabel." He smiled seeing the result that was supposed to come out of it. "She would love something like this." He then started by getting to the first step.

He got everything for the step and started working on the piece. He'd learned enough workmanship from Wendy to know how things worked. So he had a simple enough time sawing things into pieces that fit and putting them together.

He just finished sawing the last piece he needed when he heard someone behind him. "You're pretty good at this. Ah didn't expect that." Apple Jack said.

He put the piece of wood with the many others he did and turned to respond. "Oh, yeah I learned it from a friend back at Gravity Falls. She's a lumberjack. She knows her stuff." He said before both let out a chuckle.

"What is it like?" He showed her a slightly confused face before she specified. "In Gravity Falls ah mean."

"Oh, yeah, it's a pretty cool place. It's small, but it has a lot of interesting things." He continued. "I and Mabel only used to come there once during summer to visit our Grunkle Stan but our parents soon moved near too after Mabel convinced them to."

She showed a quick smile. "Sounds like ya liked it there then. What happened to make it so that you two had to move." She asked, clearly curious.

He'd be kind of scared of this question. He didn't think of a good answer for that yet and hasn't really expected to have to answer it. But he had to say something. "W-We just had a small issue... We had to stay somewhere else before we could return. And this looked like a good place."

"Alright then..." She didn't look convinced but continued. "Well, for whatever time you'll be here, Ah'm sure that you'll have a good time." She showed him a smile that he soon returned.

They then kept working on the project. Since it was simple, most of the students finished it pretty quickly, with Dipper being one of them. He'd also spend some nice time with Apple Jack in the process.

"Looks like we're ahead of time." Apple Jack looked over at him, seeing that they both finished. "Are ya gonna decorate it?"

He shook his head. "No, I think I'll take it with me for Mabel to craft with it. She always enjoys those things and it would look better with her decorating anyway."

"Ah get that. Ah have a little sister too. Ah think I'll do the same." She then put the new build in her bag where it would be safe from damage.

Dipper did the same. "Yea, but we're twins so age is only different by a few minutes. She's just more on the creative, chaotic side of things, you know."

She nodded. "Yea, ah'm sure she'll like it."

They soon but the equipment back, and after one last speech from the teacher, Dipper said goodbye to her and left for his next and final class.

---

Mabel got her schedule out and saw that her next class was only a few rooms away. So, it didn't take too long for her to find where she was supposed to be. "Classroom 11, found it!"

It was the Drama classroom. And that was clear once she stepped in.

It was a pretty big area with one big podium and a lot of chairs in rows around it. There were also open curtains that contained a pathway to many different costumes and decore for on the stage.

Interested, she got closer to the curtains and recognized someone. It was Rarity, who was currently busy looking through the many rows of cloths on the reck.

Mabel quietly made her way there and when she was close, jumped in to surprise her. "Gotcha!"

Rarity soon turned around to see Mabel with a smile. "Oh, it's you. Mabel, right?"

"Yeah!" She smiled before continuing. "I didn't scare you too much, did I? I was too good to not do it!"

She showed a smile. "No, it's fine, darling. I've had worse."

Mabel soon got curious as her attention went to the clothing rack. "So, are we going to make a play or something? These look really cool!" She said as she started looking through them.

"We are. I don't know how your role will work, since you're new, but I'm sure we can find something for you." Rarity smiled. "Have you been in any plays before this one?"

She quickly received a nod. "Oh, definitely! I mean, it was more like a puppet play, but it still counts!"

"A puppet play?" Rarity's interest grew. "How did it go?"

"It was pretty alright, I guess. But we had some..." She paused for a second. "Interruptions.. So, we had to cut it short."

Mabel had looked through most of the reck now and joined Rarity as she took a seat. As she finished, Rarity showed a great amount of interest in the story. "Oh my, what happened?"

"I, uhm..." She had made a promise to Dipper and the others to not let anyone know about the weirdness of Gravity Falls, so her telling what went down with a certain triangle that day was not an option. "T-The puppets broke..?" She wasn't the best at lying but at least tried.

Rarity just looked at her for a few seconds. "All of them?"

"Y-Yep!" She quickly continued her story. "I-I had fireworks for the finale but they went off a bit too early..." It was part of the truth if that counts for anything.

"Well that's..." She paused before finding her words. "unfortunate... But this play is different. As long as the people that we need show up on time, we should be good." She showed a smile and soon received one back.

Shortly after that, they heard the teacher come into the room. "I'm here everyone! Is everyone ready?" The students around her cheered before she continued. "You all know your roles, practice your lines and if you need any assistance, I'll be backstage." She finished before walking past the curtains where Rarity and Mabel were.

She soon spotted Rarity and went over to her. "Rarity, dear, how are the costumes coming up?"

"Perfectly fine, miss! They should be ready before the big night." Rarity responded before the teacher noticed Mabel.

"Oh my, I didn't even introduce myself to the new student!" She then showed her a smile. "I'm Miss Blossom. And your name must be Mabel then. It's great to have you here with us today."

The teacher held out a hand that Mabel soon shook with a smile of her own. "It's great to be here too!" She looked over at Rarity for a second before looking back at the teacher. "I heard from Rarity we're making a play! Do I get a role?"

The teacher thought for a second before giving her an answer. "I'm not sure... We already have a story in which everyone has their role. It would be difficult to put you in without it affecting the pacing..." She then showed her a smile. "But, you can do something backstage if you want?"

"Like what?" Mabel asked, looking at both the teacher and Rarity.

Rarity's eyes lit up and showed a smile. "Mabel, you do know how to sew?"

"I don't but I do know how to knit sweaters!" She smiled pointing at her button-covered sweater.

Rarity let out a quick chuckle. "That's good too! You can help me with the clothes making!"

"That's a wonderful idea Rarity! So, I presume you two should be fine now?" They both nodded in response. "Perfect, good luck, girls~!" The teacher smiled before leaving to join the people practicing on stage.

Rarity got up and after looking through the clothes on the rack, she got a piece and handed it over to Mabel. "This is part of the costume for one of the heroes. It's a knitted cape so you should be able to work with it." Once she got it, she also gave her the fabric that belonged to it.

"Oh, sure thing! How long does it go on for?" She asked looking down at the bit that was already made.

"Here," Rarity said showing her the design drawn on paper. "This has the design and everything you need to know about its length and width."

Mabel got it and placed it next to her before showing her friend a smile. "Yea, I got this!" Rarity got her own piece too and they both started working, chatting as they did so.

"So, how are you liking this school?" Rarity asked first.

"It's really fun so far. And I'm sure my brother is having a good time as well!" She smiled.

Rarity quietly blushed, being reminded of a certain boy. "T-That's great to hear."

Mabel heard her voice and soon also noticed the blush on her face, no matter how hard she tried hiding it. "Wait a second, are you blushing~?"

"N-No!" She quickly denied. "W-Why would I be blushing!? I'm not blushing..."

Mabel just smiled, seeing it still on her face. "It's my brother isn't it?" Seeing as her face got redder, she considered her theory confirmed. "Yep, but it's okay. I'm not mad or anything. I think it's cute that you like him!"

Rarity looked over at her, the red fading off her face, little by little. "I'm glad, but you can't tell him! I-I mean, we just met an hour or two ago, he'll think I'm some crazy romantic."

"Don't worry, you got my word! I would love to see it play out by itself, anyway. That's way more fun~!" Mabel quickly joked.

Rarity showed her a smile. "Pinkie promise?"

"A what?" Mabel asked before getting her pinky finger out. "Like this?"

"No, darling. Watch," She then showed her how the Pinkie Promise worked. "Our friend Pinkie Pie made it up one day. If you make one, you can't ever break it."

Mabel nodded before doing the same thing. "Pinkie Promised!" Both shared a smile before continuing their work.

Seeing as they were both very skilled at what they did, they got through a lot of pieces, in good time. But, it couldn't go on forever as the bell to start the next class soon rang.

"Man, this was so much fun! I can't wait to do it again!" Mabel smiled, putting her last finished work back into the clothing rack.

Rarity soon nodded in agreement. "Same here. It's nice to get to know you better."

Once both of them got their bags, they said goodbye and left the classroom.

---

Dipper looked down at his schedule only to see the room he had to go to. "All the way at 301!? That's all the way up!" Seeing as he was in the basement right now, it would be a long and tiring way to go.

But he had to, so he turned to the closest stairs and started making his way up. He had three stairways to go to get to the top of the school building and already felt his legs get tired once he got off the first one.

"Come on, Dipper, only two more to go." He said to himself before going up to the next one.

Eventually, after a while of going upstairs, he got to the highest floor. "Okay, I'm up... That was harder than it had to be..." He then went looking for the classroom so he could hopefully sit down somewhere.

"301..." He skimmed through the halls before getting to a door with that label. "Finally, found it!"

She soon knocked and saw the teacher open and look down at him with a smile. "And who are you?"

"D-Dipper. Dipper Pines." he soon answered. "This is chemistry, right?"

"It is, and I know who you are Dipper. I was just joking. Now, come in so we can start." She let him in and saw him look over at the tables there. "You can take a seat wherever you like."

Dipper nodded before looking over his options. Instead of the set of tables in rows that he was used to, there were five large ones where students could put their chairs next to. Counting all sides, one table could fit four people.

Some of them were already full so he looked over at the others. That's when he noticed two familiar faces. It was Sunset and Twilight, who were chatting at their table together. He saw the two clear seats and took his chance.

Once he sat down, he saw Sunset already noticed him. "Oh, Dipper, you're here too?"

"Yeah, I'm surprised to see familiar faces here too." He smiled. "What do we do here?"

"That depends," Twilight started. "What class are you in. K or GL?"

He'd heard of that before and then remembered from where. "Wait, let me see." He got his schedule and saw "GL" written next to his name. "It says GL."

Both girls shared looks with each other for a few seconds before turning back to him. "T-That's our class too. I can't believe you got the same as us!" Sunset said before receiving a confused face from Dipper.

Twilight decided to explain. "This class is split into two paths. The K's and the GL's. And the GL side is generally harder than the K's. A place in the GL class is very rare the clear spots are saved for only the smartest students here!" She quickly blurted out in sheer excitement.

"I mean, Mabel did say you were smart, but I honestly thought she was exaggerating." Sunset shrugged. "It's just a surprise that's all." She smiled.

"Oh, alright then." He said as a smile returned on his face. "It's not too much harder, is it? Considering I barely even know what we do here."

Sunset shook her head. "We just have a few more assignments and things to learn for tests. So, you should be good." Sunset assured him before they heard the teacher start the lesson.

"Hello, boys and girls! We'll be doing a group project today about the effect of certain chemicals from this chapter when put together. But before that, we've got a new student to introduce themselves!" She then looked over at Dipper with the others around him following.

"So, I'm Dipper Pines. I moved here from Gravity falls with my twin sister Mabel." He finished feeling satisfied with what he said.

The teacher soon returned to the project topic. "Now, I want everyone to get into groups of at least three but no more than four. Can everyone do that?" She asked before receiving nods from pretty much everyone. "Excellent, then you may start by getting two chemicals from the closet and keeping track of the changes every half a minute. Good luck!"

Once the teacher finished explaining the assignment, Dipper turned to the two girls at his table. "Can I join you two?"

Sunset soon nodded. "Sure, you should come to sit closer to see it from close. Twilight's already out getting what we need."

"Great, do I need my book for this? Or any of the other papers it came with?" He asked, pulling his bag closer.

"Not really," Sunset then pointed at one of the smaller ones. "Only the Binas. There are names and information in there that could be useful. Oh, and a notebook to write things down!" She then turned to her own bag, getting out a small notebook.

Dipper did the same along with the Binas that Sunset suggested he would need. Twilight also soon returned with the necessary materials. She put them down on the table and sat back down.

"What did you get?" Sunset asked, before looking at the labels. "Oh! Water and sugar! That should make for a good combination for sure!"

"Not just that," Twilight pointed at the fire stand. "I figured seeing how heat affects the combination could be a good experiment too."

Sunset showed a smile. "Sounds great! But let's get some of the safety equipment first!"

"Safety equipment? What kind?" Dipper asked before Sunset pointed at a clothing reck.

"Over there, follow us." He did and they soon got to the clothing reck where lab coats and protective glasses were. Along with gloves and more. "You should see what fits first. It's important your sleeves aren't too long or the gloves don't fit."

He took the advice and soon picked one out that fit. He did have to cuff his sleeves but the rest fit perfectly. He then got the right glasses and tried on some of the gloves, eventually settling on a pair.

He noticed Sunset and Twilight were already done sometime before him and were waiting at the table.

Not wanting to keep them waiting for any longer, he quickly caught up. "Okay, I'm here. So, what's the plan?"

"Firstly, we will add the sugar to the water and let it sit for a minute, making note of what happened. Then, we put it above the fire for a few minutes and see what happens." Twilight explained.

Sunset slid the notebook to Dipper's side at the table. "If you want to, you can write down the changes. Since you're new to all of this." Dipper got it and Sunset showed him the page. "Just write the name of the project and all the preparations we need. Then the timestamps where we can write the effects down later."

"Got it." Dipper got a pen out of his bag and started writing down what was requested. It didn't take too long and they soon started the experiment.

Firstly, Sunset took the bottle of water and held it in place while Twilight slowly poured the sugar into it. Meanwhile, Dipper was watching what was happening and wrote it down in as much detail as he could.

Once it was in, they let it sit for a minute. Dipper took notes every few timestamps and noticed it slowly becoming a big lump at the bottom.

Seeing nothing change for a while, they decided it was time to add fire. Sunset took a spoon and got the sugar spread inside the bottle again while Twilight put on the fire. Soon after, they put it together.

Dipper did the same as last time, with much more results. Boiling, color variations, and even more started to happen as he was racing to keep up with his writing. Sunset and Twilight also helped out with some notes of their own.

Eventually, the changes stopped and they ended the experiment. They added all the collective notes together and after cleaning up their materials, they got it approved by the teacher, of which they accepted it.

"That was fun. Here, your notebook back." Dipper smiled, handing it back to Sunset.

She got it and put it back in her bag. "Yea, it was for sure interesting. It was nice doing it with you too. You're pretty cool."

Dipper showed a smile, blushing slightly. "Y-Yea, same here."

"There's just a few minutes left. We should put these back." Twilight reminded them as she pointed at the equipment.

They put it back and spend some time chatting with each other until the teacher spoke up to end the class.

"I've received many things from all of you and it looks like all of you did something productive today! This was all for today, so you may now leave. Have a nice rest of your day everyone." The teacher then opened the door to let the students leave the classroom.

Once he left his last class, he went to the school entrance to wait for his sister to finish hers.

Mabel's next class wasn't in the school. She had PE and the school had a separate area outside for gym classes. It was a big field of grass with a garage-like area where all the sports materials were for activities.

It didn't take too long to get there, but she still had a small problem. Gym clothes. She'd only gotten her schedule at the start of the day, so she'd have to her gym clothes somewhere or go in what she had on now.

She walked into the field and quickly spotted the gym teacher.

She walked up to him, ready to introduce herself and get what she needed. "Hey, mister PE teacher guy, I'm Mabel."

He noticed her and soon showed her a smile. "Oh, you must be the new student."

Mabel nodded and continued. "Yea, I didn't know my schedule until I got here so, do you have any spare gym clothes I can borrow? Maybe?"

"Sure thing, you know where the lockers are, right?" She shook her head, not being very familiar with the PE field. "Okay so, it's over there. There's a locker with "SPARE" written on it. What you need should be in there. Just look out for sizes."

"Okay, thanks!" She smiled before making her way there.

Once she entered, she looked across all the locker labels to find what she was looking for. While she was searching, she noticed the names of other students on some of them. Spitfire, Soarin, Fleetfoot, and one that was somewhat familiar to her.

"Rainbow Dash? I feel like I've heard that before..." Her thoughts were soon interrupted by the sight of the label she was looking for. "Oh, spare, found it!" She quickly opened it up and saw the spare clothes of many sizes in there.

The designs were pretty simple. Just a white t-shirt with different colored collars along with some simple black and white shorts. The ones that fit her ended up having a red collar but she didn't care much about it. She kept her own clothes in her bag went back to the field.

When she got back outside, she saw the other students sitting in rows in front of the teacher who looked like he was explaining something. Not wanting to miss anything, she soon got there and sat down.

"And then, oh looks like she's here." The teacher stopped explaining to look at her. "Welcome to the class, Mabel Pines. I was just explaining today's exercise. But, I wouldn't want to waste time explaining a second time so once we start, can someone volunteer to show her?"

One hand soon shot up from the crowd. "I'd be up for it!"

"Ah, Rainbow Dash, of course, you'd want to do that." The teacher then turned away and signed for everyone to get up. He then started walking towards a running field. "Now, let's go to the running tracks so we can start!"

Mabel followed and soon saw someone catch up to her. "Hey, Mabel! You remember me from lunch before, right?"

She turned to see Rainbow Dash show her a smile. "Oh, yea now I do! Great to see you! So, what are we going to do?"

"Simple!" The group stopped at their destination. "Today is all about running, going fast, and all of that! Trust me, I'm the perfect person to tell you all about it! I'm all speed!" She then ran from the end of the lap and back in less than a second, a rainbow following close after her.

Her eyes lit up as her face turned into excitement, seeing the rainbow. "Wow! That looks so cool! Can I do that??"

She just shook her head in response. "Eh, not really. It's a me thing. I'm not allowed to use it during a real race anyway."

"Aww, bummer. " She said disappointed before Dash cut in.

"Nah, it's fine. I can still show you how it's done in the normal way." She got down to the ground and got into a certain pose, clearly meant for the start of racing. "To start, you need a good starter pose first, like this!" She then straightened her arms letting her back arch backward. "Then, you get ready and..." She jumped out of her pose and quickly got up her feet to start running.

She was very fast, faster than anyone else who tried to catch up to her. Not to mention the thing she did at the beginning to already give her a quick start to it all. That's probably what it was meant to do too.

She soon got back to Mabel. "You see, like that!"

"That was super fast! I don't know if I can top that." She then got a grin. "But I'm more than willing to try!"

A grin quickly got on her face too. "Oh, challenging me? I like this! You're on!"

And with that, they started, both very determined for victory. Mabel quickly understood the techniques and kept going faster and faster. But, no matter how hard she ran, she was never able to fully catch up to Rainbow Dash.

They'd ran for almost half an hour when both of them decided to take a break. They sat down and both got their bags to pull out a drink, before taking a nice sip.

"You know, you didn't do too bad out there. Something tells me you've done these things before." Rainbow Dash said, giving her a smile.

Mabel just let out a chuckle. "Well, I guess you do have to run fast when you're running for your life from a demon-" She quickly corrected herself. "I-I mean running like during tag! You gotta go fast there, right..?" She quickly covered up what she said with a smile.

"I see..." Her face had a hint of confusion but it didn't last long. "Well, my point is, you did well for your first time."

"Yeah. Too bad I couldn't beat you tho.. That would've been awesome!" Mabel said as her eyes lit up.

Dash just laughed in response. "Come on now, I basically invented running! No way you're ever beating me."

They laughed it off before chatting some more.

The day also ended soon after, with everyone soon going back to their lockers. Mabel did the same, hoping to do it fast enough to get back to the entrance in time to not leave her brother waiting.

She quickly changed clothes, put the spare ones back where they were, and then went out to meet up with her brother.

He explained before Fluttershy responded. "I see... Well, just know I'm always here. And my friends too. They've helped me through my anxiety for a very long time." She smiled.

This does not sound like Fluttershy.

"What did you get?" Sunset asked, before looking at the labels. "Oh! Water and sugar! That should make for a good combination for sure!"

What exactly are you gonna do with water and sugar. The only experiment you does with this is to see how different conditions affect reactions.

Dipper did the same as last time, with much more results. Boiling, color variations, and even more started to happen as he was racing to keep up with his writing. Sunset and Twilight also helped out with some notes of their own.

You sure it was water and sugar. Because the last time I check they don't make color variations when boiled.

I used an experiment I did at school for that part. I didn't remember if it was sugar or salt so I had to guess.

Also, it wasn't about the experiment more about the interactions they had. :)

So Dipper and Mabel have gotten to know the Rainbooms, and Mabel already kind of knows about "Ponying Up". Wonder how long it'll be before they realize that's what they've been assigned to investigate?
