Summer was a bit
distracted that day, with the weekend and her promise to come home and deal with whatever this Gotron thing Rick was raving about on the phone earlier this week was all about, so she was trying to think of a good class she could have that either didn't require a whole lot of effort on her part or could provide a distraction for her distraction. She was
really trying to not just rehash old lessons in this class, but honestly? With not knowing what she'll have to deal with this weekend, she was going for easy and, hopefully, informative and helpful to her students, too.
"This week," she informed them, once they were gathered and ready in their little danger shop classroom that they'd only be spending a few moments in anyway because they were about to catch a portal, "we're taking another field trip. And while last week's was meant to highlight how different some dimensions can be on a very basic and fundamental level, this week's adventure is going to focus on dimensions that sort of take an element to an extreme to flip the script on our expectations. And for that, we're going to a world that answers the pressing question of What If Dogs Were the Top Species Instead of Humans? That's right, we're going to
Dog World.
"Dog World is basically a world where dogs evolved like humans, and humans involved like dogs, so dogs are the dominant species and humans are basically pets. Which can be a little off-putting, but also, it's kind of an important lesson? As, like, a reminder that humans aren't shit everywhere, you know? We could probably stand to be taken down a few notches in some dimensions, there's even dimensions where people are, like, furniture and phones, and I always consider taking one of these classes there, but I thought you guys would appreciate not having sentient armchairs trying to sit on you. Or potentially making you feel really awkward about eating pizza again.
"The biggest threat we might face in Dog World, other than the giant birds," yes, that was randomly thing in Dog World, don't ask, "is someone trying to adopt you, probably, or take you home, so keep that in mind. Luckily, the current emperor of Planet Dogg-One is actually our old family pet, Snuffles, so I've got an in. He's been emperor for a while, he's
kind of a tyrant, not gonna lie, but he's fairly benevolent and the people like him, so, hey, you know, if it works, it works. So, let's everyone get ready, hop on through the portal, we'll meet some dogs and you can ask questions and experience a world where dogs are humans and humans are dogs!"
