The Multiverse is F'd, Y'all; Wednesday, Second Period [09/06].
Summer's multiverse class was going to be held in one of the classrooms, but not her Danger Shop classroom simulation, as funny as that always was to her, because they would usually not be staying there for very long. Just a little preamble, until they whisked away to the lesson in question, and this first week was going to be no exception...although they would likely spend a bit more time than usual here today than other classes.
"Hey, everyone," she greeted, leaning against the desk in front and tilting her head with a smile, "and welcome to the revival of my class looking at the multiverse in quite possibly the least comprehensive way imaginable, since, you know, it's kind of infinite, and we're only pulling from my small little infinitesimal sliver of experience. Since there's just the three of you and I know who all of you are, we're going to skip the introductions, especially since, well, you'll have more than enough of those this week anyway, I imagine. I don't know how well you know each other, obviously, but hopefully, if the answer is 'not very much,' that'll change as we work together through the semester.
"Now," she continued, "we are going to talk about what this class is going to entail, first and foremost, though. As I'm sure you all know by now, we live currently in a multidimensional nexus, where a good deal of the people here are from different universes and realities, some similar to the plane of existence in which this version of Fandom University, née High, sits, some wildly different. And if there's anything I want you guys taking from this class, it's this: the multiverse really is infinite; if you can think of it, it exists out there somewhere. You know, kind of like the Rule 34 of Realities.
"If you don't know what that is," she added, her smile going extra sweet, "I suggest you google it only in Incognito Mode.
"But, moving on, we're going to be exploring a lot of really weird, quirky, and, to be quite honest, sometimes disturbing corners of the multiverse in this class, so, in lieu of a normal introduction, I just want to take a moment to get to know a little bit more about what you guys are comfortable with. I'd like to know what your experiences with the multiverse beyond being here on this island might be, what you'd like to know more about, if there's anything that is an absolute no-go that you'd like to absolutely avoid, if you have any allergies, phobias, or just personal hang-ups you'd like to get out there so that I can help avoid some really awkward situations. It...can sometimes be an issue, to have something I didn't know was a trigger sprung on someone suddenly, but I'm learning and doing better, so speak now, or forever hold your piece.
"Well," she amended, "not really. If there's something you're uncomfortable mentioning here now in class, for whatever reason, feel free to talk to me in private or just send a text or email about it, and your privacy will be respected. And, once we're done going over boundaries and things like that for the class, we are going to start out with a little bit of a simple jaunt between two dimensions to showcase how different two seemingly similar dimensions can be. Sound good? Okay. So, who's got some multiverse experience already and who's got some things that mmight be concerns> or, like, hell, if you've got a wish list of things you'd like to see, I'll take those now, too."

Class Activity: Pluto Version Two - Multiverse, 09/06.
There was then another portal called up and, with stepping through it, the students would find themselves on a planet with a very similar surface and make-up, with a few notable exceptions, which involve instead of the greyish-tan of the last Pluto, this one seemed rather blue and green in color, and it was occupied by something, a city of tall, almost mushroom-like buildings appearing around them, and Summer took a moment to take off the helmet of her suit and breathe in the now completely breathable air.
"This," she said, "is my dimension's Pluto. Home to the Plutonians and a rich research of...you guessed it...plutonium, it is clearly a much more...habitated planet that the one in the universe we just came from. And while the Pluto in that dimension will likely just continue to exist, this Pluto is actually in danger of being mined so thoroughly that it might one day collapse in on itself. Hopefully not today, but, hey, pretty epic first class if we get to witness a planetoid's perfectly avoidable self-destruction! Sort of poetic, in a way, considering how the Earth back in the dimension we came from is going..."
"Anyway, on that bright little note, feel free to look around a little bit and compare. The Plutonians themselves'll probably give us a wide berth, my dad got into this whole thing with the king here ages ago, not to mention all the stuff with the Galactic Federations, but anyway, if you really wanted to talk to one, we can arrange something."
So enjoy a very different Pluto than the one you just saw, and Summer'll summon everyone together once it's time to portal back to Fandom.

And he would absolutely mean to be safe, but the probability of his wandering off was high.

She was totally going to find a spot and do a little busking, because, yes, this was Charlie. Would she attract any Plutonians? Totally not the point.
