A/N: This takes place during chapter 38 of, "This Is Our Year: College".

Anna and Stacie entered their Chemistry class at 9:00 am and sat down at a two-person work station in the front row of the classroom.

"So, Stacie, what's Miss Carson like?" Anna asked.

"She's a really tough teacher," Stacie replied. Anna slumped. "Just kidding."

Anna gave Stacie a playful glare, "Why you…"

"I'm sorry, Anna," Stacie laughed. "Miss Carson is a great teacher."

Just then, a woman with black hair in a ponytail, brown skin, and brown eyes walked into the classroom.

"Good morning, class," The teacher said, getting everyone's attention.

"Good morning, Miss Carson," The class replied.

"Welcome back for another Chemistry class," She said. "Before we begin, I would like to announce that we have a new student joining us. Will the new student please come up to the front?"

Anna stood up from her seat, walked to the front of the room, and turned to face the class.

Miss Carson spoke, "Everyone, I would like you to meet, Anna Stoppable."

The class gave a round of cheers and applause.

Miss Carson raised her arms and said, "Class, please settle down."

The class calmed down before Miss Carson turned to Anna, "Anna?"

Anna turned to the teacher, "Yes, Miss Carson?"

"Everyone here must be your biggest fan," The teacher speculated.

"I guess they are," Anna guessed. "After all, I made tap dancing popular, again; saved the world a few times; and just earlier, saved a teacher who was going into cardiac arrest."

Miss Carson nodded, "Yes, we all heard of your heroic actions. Well done!"

Anna smiled, "Thanks."

She then walked back to her seat and sat down.

Miss Carson looked at the entire class, "Alright class, today each work station will be mixing together chemicals. The chemicals are at your work stations, along with instructions. But first, you all must put on goggles."

Stacie reached under her and Anna's work station and pulled out two pairs of goggles.

"Here you go, Anna," Stacie said as she held out a pair of goggles to Anna.

"Thanks," Anna said as she took the goggles into her hands.

The two friends put on their goggles like everyone else before Miss Carson spoke, "You may begin."

Anna and Stacie looked at the instructions they were given before proceeding.

But before they could start mixing…

"Ah!" A scream came.

Everyone in the class looked to see a male student with blond hair, green eyes, and tanned skin at the work station to the left of Anna's and Stacie's workstation with his hands and school uniform covered in chemicals.

"Fred!" Miss Carson said as she got up from her desk and ran up to Fred. "Let's get you to the shower!"

She then escorted Fred to the shower in the front of the classroom and put him under it. She then pulled the lever.

Nothing.

"The shower's not working!" Miss Carson said in near-panic.

Anna pulled out what looked like Kim's old Kimmunicator from her right skirt pocket with her right hand and got Wade on.

"Wade, chemical emergency, need a solution!" Anna announced.

"Do you have that pink hairspray I gave you?" Wade asked.

"Yeah?" Anna said as she pulled out a pink hairspray bottle from her backpack with her left hand.

"It's actually a neutralizing agent designed to remove chemicals," Wade said.

Anna shook the spray bottle, removed the plastic cap, and ran up to Fred. She then aimed the spray bottle at Fred and pulled the trigger. A white cloud from the bottle shot out and covered Fred.

After a couple seconds, Anna let go of the trigger and the cloud dissipated, revealing no trace of any chemicals on Fred.

Fred sighed in relief.

"Are you okay?" Miss Carson asked Fred with concern.

Fred nodded, "I'm alright."

Anna looked down at Wade and said, "Thanks, Wade."

"Anytime," Wade said before the screen went black.

Anna put the old Kimmunicator back in her skirt pocket before looking up at Fred and Miss Carson who were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Anna," Fred said with gratitude.

"Anna, you saved this boy's life," Miss Carson added. "I don't know how I could ever thank you."

Anna's face turned serious, "Please inform Headmaster Knox of the faulty shower. Fred is lucky that I was here and with a solution to chemical emergencies. I may not be here next time a chemical emergency happens."

Miss Carson turned to the class, "Class, I'm gonna report the incident to the Headmaster right away. In the meantime, all of you will cease doing your experiments. If you have any other homework to work on, I suggest you work on it. I'll be right back."

Miss Carson then walked out of the classroom while Fred and Anna walked back to their seats.

As soon as Anna returned to her seat, Stacie happily said, "Way to go, Anna!"

Anna looked at Stacie, "Thanks, Stacie."

Stacie noticed Anna's right wrist and asked, "Say, Anna?"

"Yes, Stacie?" Anna answered.

"I noticed you aren't wearing your watch."

"My wrist Annamunicator?"

"Yes."

Anna pulled out the Kimmunicator from her skirt pocket and said, "I looked at the school's dress code online this morning just for the heck of it and learned that we're not allowed to wear any gadgets on our wrists other than plain watches. So, with permission from my Mom, she let me use her old Kimmunicator until Wade sends me one just like this."

Stacie soon thought of something and said, "Hey, changing subjects, until Miss Carson gets back, how about you squeeze in a tap dance."

"Yeah," Another student spoke up.

A few other students, one-by-one, spoke up, "Yeah."

Anna put her Kimmunicator back in her skirt pocket and turned to the rest of the class.

"Are you kidding me?" Anna said in disbelief. "I could get into trouble."

"Don't worry, Anna, we'll tell them that we talked you into it," Stacie said.

Anna turned back to Stacie, "No, I don't want you and the class to get busted because..."

"Because of what?" The voice of Miss Carson came.

Miss Carson walked out of the classroom and walked in the direction of the Headmaster's office.

Just seconds into the walk, she bumped into Headmaster Knox just around a corner.

"I'm so sorry," Miss Carson apologized.

"It's alright," Headmaster Knox assured.

"I was gonna report to you that a student had a chemical emergency and the shower in my classroom is not working," Miss Carson said.

Headmaster Knox went wide-eyed, "Oh my."

"Fortunately, Anna had a solution to the chemical emergency and saved the student," Miss Carson said.

Headmaster Knox gasped, "Anna? As in, Anna Stoppable?"

Miss Carson nodded, "Yes."

"Let's go to your classroom," Headmaster Knox suggested.

The two then proceeded back to Miss Carson's classroom.

Once they walked into the classroom, they heard Anna say to Stacie, "No, I don't want you and the class to get busted because..."

Miss Carson spoke up, "Because of what?"

"Because of what?" The voice of Miss Carson came.

Anna turned to see Headmaster Knox and Miss Carson standing.

Anna gasped, "Miss Carson! Headmaster Knox!"

"Anna there's no need to panic," Headmaster Knox assured.

Anna sighed, "The class wanted me to sneak in a tap dance until Miss Carson got back."

Headmaster Knox and Miss Carson turned around and whispered to each other.

A few seconds later, they turned back toward Anna before Miss Carson spoke, "Say, Anna, did you tell Headmaster Knox earlier that you carry a pair of tap shoes with you?"

"Yes."

"Feel free to slip them on and tap dance for the class."

"But Headmaster Knox told me not to tap dance while class is in session," Anna pointed out. "As well as never tap dance in tap shoes in the building."

"I'm going to allow it this one time for your heroic efforts," Headmaster Knox said.

Miss Carson then spoke up, "Besides, we're tap dancers ourselves and we would just love to see you perform."

Anna smiled, "Thanks."

She then opened her backpack, pulled out a pair of black lace-up tap shoes, changed into them, walked to the front of the classroom, and turned to face the class.

Anna, with the biggest smile on her face, started her dance out with a few shuffles with her left foot. She then switched to the right foot and did a few shuffles there too. She then executed a couple of paradiddles. Afterward, she did a triple time-step followed by two double time-steps and one single time-step. She then executed a Suzie-Q to the left and another to the right. Afterward, she executed a couple shim-sham steps. Soon, she did a Shirley Temple followed by a Maxi Ford and another Shirly Temple. She then did a pull back before turning around 180 degrees and doing another pullback. She then turned around 180 degrees, again, and added a right foot buffalo step followed by a left foot buffalo step. Soon after, she twirled, did a stomp with her right foot and another with her left before she raised her arms up high.

The entire class gave a round of applause before Anna gave a bow and walked back to her seat.

"That was terrific, Anna!" Headmaster Knox congratulated Anna as the latter sat down.

"You did great!" Miss Carson commented.

"Why, thank you Headmaster Knox and Miss Carson," Anna said, appreciating the feedback.

"I better get going," Headmaster Knox said. She then waved. "I'll see you later."

"I'll see you later too," Anna said with a wave.

The school Headmaster then walked out of the classroom.

Anna turned to Miss Carson, "So, Miss Carson, what are we going to be doing for the rest of class?"

Miss Carson stood back and spoke to the class, "Class, I would like to announce that you will be partnering up in groups of two. Each group is to work on a slideshow presentation they will present Friday November 16th regarding the science behind a topic of their choice. I have decided, to allow you to spend the rest of this class researching your projects. The laptops are in the back-right corner of the classroom."

Anna raised her hand.

Miss Carson noticed this, "Yes, Anna?"

"Can me and Stacie do our topic on dance?" Anna asked. "There's science behind it."

Miss Carson smiled, "Of course, you can. There's also an optional demonstration you can do for the project as well."

"Thanks," Anna said excitedly.

Miss Carson picked up a stack of yellow papers, "I'll now hand out the rubric."

She then proceeded to hand out a rubric to everyone in the class, starting with Anna.

Right when she handed Anna a rubric, Miss Carson noticed that Anna was still wearing her tap shoes.

"Oh, Anna?" Miss Carson spoke.

"Yes?" Anna answered.

"You're still wearing your tap shoes," Miss Carson said, pointing down at Anna's feet.

Anna tapped her right toe and blushed, "Oh, my bad, I'll change out of them right away."

"Or you can wait until the end of class," Miss Carson suggested.

Anna shrugged her shoulders, "Why not."

After Miss Carson walked away to continue passing out the rubrics, Anna thought, "Booyah! I get to wear the best shoes in the world for the rest of class!"

To Be Continued…

A/N: Anna has once again saved someone. Only this time, a student from a chemical emergency.

How many more times will Anna have to save the day on her first day? And will she be entertaining more classes with her dance skills?

You'll find out.
