"Hey, guys," Summer greeted the class as per usual in the classroom, with this week's portal glowing and ready behind her already, "sorry again about the whole weird candy factory thing last week, but, I mean, come on, you have to admit it, that candy kind of made it worth it, right? Anyway, I thought this week we'd do one of those jaunts that focus on the dimensionality of it all, by going to another version of Earth that's almost exactly like this one, with a few key differences. Now, the biggest key difference of this dimension was that a popular TV series from another dimension actually managed to go its own movie, and we're going to go there and hit up the theater where I first saw it a few years back for its, like, special anniversary viewing, or whatever, but since then, through a series of events that we will not go into right now," because they were super traumatic and terrible, and, look, everyone dealt with their trauma in different ways, Summer just dealt with hers by taking whole ass classes to sites where it happened, "this dimension's Earth was also taken over by giant telepathic spiders."

You think she might have thought to lead with that.

"Don't worry, though," she assured them, "they're actually really cool and chill and there's sort of a whole symbiosis going on, or whatever, but, anyway, unless there's some questions before we go, everybody get up, and let's go watch a really dumb movie on Spider-Earth. If you're feeling bold, I highly recommend the ice cream while we're here. Sure, to help broker peace with the spiders so that they would stop creating web traps to lure humans into for consumption, the ice cream has flies in it now, but it's really not that bad, especially when you consider that this ice cream used to be the best ice cream in the multiverse."

Movie day! HPWT-style~!

Belle

Illyana Rasputin

Nell Ingram

If you suffer from arachnaphobia, even just a liiiitttle, now would probably be the time to mention it!

Belle wasn't afraid of spiders, but the idea of giant ones with telepathic powers was certainly enough to give her pause.

She was almost tempted to ask if Summer was certain this destination was safe but there had been enough classes now that she knew better than to request a guarantee.

"This does not sound child-safe," Illyana deadpanned, holding up her terrible baby. "You will need to explain it to my other teachers if the baby gets eaten, Professor Smith."

Excuse Summer just a moment as she made a face.

Not at the baby.

At someone calling her professor.

Ugh.

But then she did consider the baby, and she considered Illyana, and she considered what class that was probably from and snorted.

"Don't worry," she said. "I got you covered. Especially since I'm pretty sure I'd be doing you favor if that baby got eaten."

Now she sort of wished that it would, if only to see the look on Dante and Kathy's faces when she told them about it.

Illyana covered her baby's ears. "How much does an accident cost?"

Look, she'd been raised by demons, and understood the magic and cost of favors. This? Might be worth it.

Summer shrugged a little. "Maybe that's something to ask the spiders?" she offered, figuring that, hey, experience in attempted deals with telepathetic spiders to 'take care of' robotic sex ed babies was exactly the sort of thing she had in mind when she threw this class idea together.

The Egan Cinema is really a lot like any other movie theater you might go to on regular Earth, except for, you know, the contstant presence of giant telepathetic spiders. They seem to be content in letting everyone mind their own business, so that the students can watch the movie in peace.

It is pretty surprising what this reality considers "PG-13", though.

And don't forget to get some consessions! Sure, everything has flies in it except for the Raisinettes, but those Raisinettes could also be very easily mistaken for a box of Chocolate-Covered Flies. Summer is really not joking about the ice cream, though, it's seriously totally worth it.

Look, it wouldn't be the first time Illyana had eaten bugs, though she wasn't inclined to do it unless she had to.

She'd spend most of the time covering the eyes of her fake-child during the movie, since it wasn't rated G for robot babies.

"What do flies taste like?" Belle wondered. She wasn't all that interested in finding out for herself but she was curious. Eating fly-infused sweets could be considered adventurous, she supposed, but was the adventure going to be worth it? Maybe the movie theatre was an adventure in and of itself and she didn't need to partake of any concessions.

Did she plan this class just because she was kind of having a craving for some fly-covered ice cream?

Maaaaaayyyybeeeeeee.

Look, as far as all the weird flavor proclivities she's picked up over the years, fly-covered ice cream is the more socially acceptable one.

I told myself no movie days this semester, but it doesn't count if it's a field trip, right???
