Based on the Danger Rangers episode of Chem Gems, this is my first two parted special on FanFiction. In this first part, Maud Pie will not appear. She will, however, appear in the second part.
A Lesson in Lab Safety Part 1
The next morning at Canterlot High, Twilight went to the chemistry lab to do some new experiments. She had study hall and since she finished her homework, she was free to do whatever she wanted to do until study hall was over. When she got there she was relieved to see a teacher in the chemistry lab since the students knew that you should never work in a lab unless a teacher or an adult is there to watch you. Twilight was looking forward to doing her new experiments but before she could begin, she needed to change into her lab coat, put on boots and leggings, put rubber gloves over her hands, wear safety googles over her glasses and eyes, and most importantly, she had tie her hair up in a bun. When she finished, she was ready to begin.
Twilight Sparkle: There, now let's get started!
With that said, Twilight got started with her experiments. Meanwhile in an alley way in the city, five students from Canterlot High were going through dumpsters. Their names were Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twist, Snails, and Snips. They wear scavenging for household chemicals like cleaning liquids, bleach bottles, and paint cans. Snails was holding Twist by his ankles while Twist was scavenging for any kind of chemicals.
Snails: Come Twist hurry up, I can't hold you like this forever!
Snips: If you see any bleach bottles, paint cans, or any other kind of stinky stuff, then pull it out Twist!
Twist: Oh, I found one!
Snails pulled Twist out of the dumpster to see what chemical Twist had found. It was Ammonia, a liquid that is used for cleaning. Snails took the Ammonia from Twist and knew exactly what it was.
Snails: Ammonia! Alright! My mom cleans the bathroom with this stuff and I know it stinks.
Snails opened the bottle to see if it smelled bad. But he did it in a very dangerous way. Then he closed the bottle.
Snails: ew!
Diamond Tiara: Yuck!
Silver Spoon: That stuff stinks!
Snails: I told you and it smells perfect for our stink ball.
Snips held up a box so they could carry the chemicals.
Snips: Put everything in here.
Twist, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Snails put all the chemicals they found in the box.
Snails: Twist, you, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon keep looking for chemicals in the south, while Snips and I head to the north side of town.
Snips: Yeah, there are a lot of factories there.
Diamond Tiara: And what do we do with all the stuff we find?
Snails: When we get enough of these chemicals, we will then go behind the school. There we will mix them all together into one really stinky brew. Then will put these dirty, sweat socks into it, add some Stinky Cheese to the brew and...
Snips: Pee yew! When we hind our stink ball in the auditorium,
Snails: The place will stink so bad, we'll get out of that boring old morning assembly for sure.
Little did the five naughty students know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders, whose names were Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, had overheard everything that they said.
Apple Bloom: (in a western accent) Why would they wanna do a thing like that?
Sweetie Belle: They must be crazy! Chemicals are dangerous!
Scootaloo: And the only time they are not dangerous is when they are tested properly.
Apple Bloom: (in a western accent) And if the one testing 'em is wearing lab protection gear.
Sweetie Belle: Well, we can't just stand here and watch them get hurt.
Scootaloo: You're right, Sweetie Belle. We need to get help and fast. Come on girls!
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo: Cutie Mark Crusaders to the rescue!
The Cutie Mark Crusaders ran as fast as they could to Canterlot High to get help. When they got to the school, they told Principle Celestia and Vice Principle Luna what was going on. The sisters knew who could help them, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, and Twilight's dog Spike. Celestia wrote seven notes for the seven students and the purple dog and gave them to the CMCs (that's short for Cutie Mark Crusaders) to give to the team of heroes.
Principle Celestia: Take these to Sunset and the others, give one to each of the girls, and then tell them what is happening.
Apple Bloom: (in a western accent) We will, come on girls let's go!
With that said, the CMCs hurried to find Spike and the girls. It wasn't long before the CMCs found Spike and the girls. They were in the chemistry lab helping Twilight with her new experiments. Spike had to wait outside of the school, since they were not supposed to have pets on school grounds and that you should always keep pets out of a lab because there are many things in a science lab that can harm your pets, like poisonous chemicals and electrical equipment. Apple Bloom knocked on the door softly so that if Twilight was still doing experiments, they wouldn't scare her because the CMCs knew very well that you should never scare someone if they are doing something in a lab, especially when that someone is working with chemicals. They also knew that you should never mess around in a science lab because it is not safe without lab protection gear. If they messed around in a science lab of any kind, may it be, a forensics lab for investing crime scenes, a chemistry lab for working with chemicals, a biology lab for studying living things including the human body, a conservation lab for studying nature, or any other kind of science lab, then they could get seriously hurt. Like have-to-go-to-the-hospital-hurt. Luckily, Twilight was finished with some experiments and she and her friends were going to take a break but before they did that, Twilight had to clean up her lab station. For you see you should always have a clean lab station before and after you leave a room, especially when around bunsen burners, that's why it's a good idea not to keep poisonous chemicals, flammable liquids, or even unwanted lab notes or papers lying around because they can catch fire very easily. That's why you should always check around a lab station before activating a bunsen burner. Soon Twilight's lab station was cleaned up. But there was something else that she and her friends had to do before leaving, they had to wash their hands because germs can hide on your hands and they can make you sick when you touch your eyes, mouth, or nose. Even tough the girls were all wearing gloves while doing experiments, they still had to wash their hands to get rid of any germs still left on their hands. After the girls washed their hands, they were just about to leave when they heard a soft knock on the door.
Twilight Sparkle: Come in!
The CMCs entered the lab and gave the girls the notes. When the girls read the notes they gasped in shock. The CMCs told them what was going on and when Sunset and the others knew what was going on, they were very worried.
Sunset Shimmer: (worried) That's dangerous!
Twilight Sparkle: (worried) I know, but we have to stop them before they get hurt.
Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash: Yeah!
Sunset Shimmer: Don't worry CMCs, we'll help you. But first you girls need to wear lab coats, gloves, goggles, and to put your hair back or up in a ponytail or bun!
Twilight Sparkle: Good thing I bring my own first aid kit to school. I'll bring this along with my lab equipment, someone might be hurt.
It wasn't long before everyone was ready, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight had their crystal necklaces around their necks in case they needed their super powers. They went outside, got Spike, who had a dog lab coat, boots, and goggles on, and set off to find the young scavengers. They only hope they would get to the kids in time before someone got hurt. The rescuers soon found a trail of liquid. Using the safe way, Twilight tried to find out what the liquid was by scent. She recognized the smell but she had to test it to confirm her thought.
Twilight Sparkle: Spike, can you please get my chemical tester and readout scanner? They are two in one and the case is dark purple with a six pointed magenta star. I have it in my bag.
Spike: Sure thing Twilight!
Spike went to Twilight's bag, got the case she asked for and brought it back to her. Twilight took the case from Spike and petted him gently.
Twilight Sparkle: Thanks Spike!
Spike and the others stepped back while Twilight made sure she was well protected. When she was sure she was, she tested the liquid. She did so by using a dropper to collect some of the liquid, then she squirted the liquid into a test tube that had a litmus liner in it to see if it was either a base or an acid. She then gently shock the test tube so the litmus liner would change color. The litmus liner turned blue.
Applejack: (in a western accent) The litmus liner's turning blue.
Rarity: What does it mean Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm... That means what ever this liquid is, you can be sure without a doubt that it's a base and not an acid.
Twilight turned on her readout scanner to scan the base. The machine told them what the base was. The readout scanner said the liquid was Ammonia.
Twilight Sparkle: My readout scanner confirms, it's Ammonia.
Sunset Shimmer: So those kids were scavenging for household chemicals.
Twilight Sparkle: And that means they went this way!
Twilight put a cork on the test tube so she could dispose of the liquid later, she then put her chemical tester and readout scanner away. Then she and the others hurried as fast as they could, hoping they were not too late. Meanwhile, in an alley on the south side of town, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Twist were trying to see if all the chemicals mixed together would stink the way Snails said it would. Twist added a cleaning liquid of some sort to a paint can where the three of them were mixing the chemicals.
Twist: Let's see if all this stuff mixed together stinks the way Snails says it will.
Diamond Tiara poured the Ammonia into the mixture.
Diamond Tiara: Here put the Ammonia in.
The Ammonia caused the mixture to make small fumes.
Silver Spoon: Pew!
Silver Spoon then poured Turpentine into the mixture.
Silver Spoon: And Turpentine. Ew, Stinky!
Twist picked up the paint can with the mixture as the mixture started to make toxic fumes. The trio coughed and coughed.
Twist, Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara: (coughing)
Suddenly, Twist accidentally spilled chemicals into Diamond Tiara's eyes blurring her vision.
Diamond Tiara: Ouch!
Then the chemicals splashed onto Silver Spoon's knee and stung it.
Silver Spoon: Ow, ow, ow! It's on me! Ow, ow!
The fumes from the chemicals made it hard for Twist to breath.
Twist: My word! It really stings!
Twist coughed from the fumes, Silver Spoon's knee was burned by chemicals, and the mixture had blurred Diamond Tiara's vision so badly that she couldn't see where she was going.
Spike: We've got a code red emergency, in the alley dead ahead!
Spike and the girls hurried to the alley to find Diamond Tiara with chemicals in her eyes and coughing.
Diamond Tiara: (coughing) Everything's blurry!
Rainbow Dash: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and I've got Diamond Tiara!
Twilight Sparkle: We've got the alley!
Sunset Shimmer: Rarity, call the paramedics!
Rainbow Dash, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, ran after Diamond Tiara. Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike ran into the alley. And while her friends were helping the trio, Rarity pulled out her cell phone and called 911.
Operator: Emergency! Which service do you require? Police, Fire, or Medical?
Rarity: This is Rarity, a chemical mixture has gotten out of control and has done harm to three girls. Diamond Tiara got chemicals in her eyes, Silver Spoon's knee got stung by the chemicals, and Twist is having trouble breathing from the toxic fumes. We need the paramedics on 631 Elm Street and fast!
Meanwhile, in the alley Twist and Silver Spoon were yelling for help as Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike ran into the alley.
Silver Spoon: Help! It stings!
Sunset Shimmer: Twilight, examine those labels and warnings!
Twilight Sparkle: On it Sunset! Spike.
Spike: I've got your chemical tester and readout scanner Twilight! I've also got your warning finder bracelet.
Twilight Sparkle: Thanks Spike.
While Twilight examined the chemicals, Sunset put an oxygen mask on Twist's face to help her breathe.
Twist: (having trouble breathing) No one, drank anything, just, inhaled, fumes, and...
Sunset pulled out her cell phone and called Rainbow Dash to check to see if she needed any help.
Sunset: Rainbow, looking for an update.
In another part of the city, Rainbow Dash, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were at the waterfront near the street they were on so that Diamond Tiara could flush out the chemicals she had in her eyes.
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash's Cell phone rang so she had Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo help Diamond Tiara while she answered it. It was Sunset calling to make sure she was okay. Rainbow Dash then heard sirens in the distance, it meant that the paramedics were on their way.
Rainbow Dash: Diamond Tiara got the chemicals in her eyes. We're flushing them out. The paramedics are on their way.
Sunset Shimmer: Good to hear that! Situation serious, but contained.
Back at the alley, Silver Spoon's knee was still stung by the chemicals. So, until the paramedics arrived, Fluttershy did first aid on her.
Fluttershy: There you go.
Soon the paramedics arrived and took care of the girls at their ambulance.
Golden Stitches: The girls seem alright, but we'd better take them to the hospital just in case.
Fluttershy: Thank you guys for coming so fast.
Applejack: I've contacted their parents. They're on their way.
Soon Twilight finished examining the labels and warnings of the chemicals. She was very curious as to what the kids were doing with things that can be dangerous.
Twilight Sparkle: (sighed) What the heck were you kids doing with all this stuff?
Twist: Mixing a stinky brew.
Silver Spoon: It was supposed to get us out of morning assembly.
Rainbow Dash: But what it got you into was serious trouble.
Fluttershy: And it could've been a whole lot worse if we hadn't come.
Diamond Tiara: We know that now.
Silver Spoon: Yeah We're very sorry.
Twist: I know I won't mess around with that stuff without lab protection gear again that's for sure.
Pinkie Pie: That's sounds good enough to me.
Silver Spoon: (gasped) Oh no!
Rarity: What's wrong Silver Spoon?
Silver Spoon: (nervous) Snails and Snips went to the north side of town.
Diamond Tiara: (nervous) And they don't know how dangerous all these chemicals can really be if you aren't wearing lab protection gear.
Sunset Shimmer: (firmly) Fluttershy, you, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo ride with the girls and meet their parents at the hospital. Catch up with us when you're done!
With that said, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Spike hurried away to find Snails and Snips. They were hoping they would find the two boys before they got seriously hurt.
Fluttershy: Good luck everyone!
