"You'd better do something to get your grade up!"

Bree looked up as Ford practically yelled at one of his students. She glanced over at Dipper who was furiously scribbling something in his personal journal. "Hey Dipper." She whispered. "Don't you think Ford is being too hard?"

"What?" Dipper looked up.

"Ford. Don't you think he's being a little hard on that guy?" Bree nodded toward the student who was frowning.

"Oh class is over!" Dipper glanced around.

Bree rolled her eyes. "Wow what is distracting you so much?" She shook her head.

"This code."

Bree leaned in to see a bunch of symbols scribbled on the paper. "What is this?"

Dipper glanced at her and then back at the paper. "A strange code I found. I'm trying to figure out what is says."

"Well that's an e." Bree pointed to the symbol of a triangle upside down. "I used to see that on the side of my elementary school all the time. There was a crazy old guy who used to draw it and many other symbols."

"And you remember what this symbol means?" Dipper asked.

"Well I asked him and he told me. I only remember though because I thought it was cool that this symbol was in my name three times."

"I see." Dipper write and e next to the symbol. "Not that it really helps me. I still have no idea what this thing says."

"Have you talked to Ford?

Dipper paused to think and then shook his head. "You think he would know?"

"He is a knowledgeable guy. Annoying yes, but knowledgeable." Bree shrugged and watched as Dipper went to talk to Ford. She leaned up against her seat and watched as the student Ford had been yelling at left. Something is up with that guy… I know he's not really putting much effort into his work and he's closing to failing but Ford is just adding fuel to the fire. This is college, if he doesn't want to fully participate then oh well his loss.

Bree sighed and stood up. "See ya!" She waved her hand and grabbed her bag.

"Hang on a moment." Ford called.

Bree sighed. It wasn't like she was in a rush today. Her next class wasn't for another two hours. She turned to look at Ford. "You have something you need to discuss with me?"

"Yes." Ford nodded. "That young man, Ruffus, you grade his papers right. Is he just not putting in the effort or is he not understanding it?"

"I'm thinking he expected this class to be an easy A." Bree shrugged. "If he doesn't want to put in the effort then no problem. I'm sure that paranormal studies isn't his major so I'm not losing any sleep over his lack of effort."

Ford frowned. "I don't like to think-."

"Listen Ford, not all of your students are going to pass or get As. It is their sweat not yours if one student isn't putting in all his effort. Truthfully I don't even pay that much attention to your day to day lessons."

"But don't you want to know this?" Dipper looked shocked.

"Not really." Bree shrugged. "I don't plan on majoring in this. My plan is to become a reporter." She smiled as she thought of her plans.

"I can't see you being a reporter." Dipper said.

"Why not? I want to travel the world and see it. And I'll write up and report on what I see." She laughed, even seeing Ford's face didn't upset her when she thought of her plans. "Someday you'll see my name on many articles." She chuckled and headed towards the door. "See you."

⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽⸙‽

Dipper looked down at his notes for the stone tablet. Apparently Ford recognized the symbols but he had no idea of what they meant. He only knew he had seen them before. Ford had promised to call Dipper if he found any information about the symbols, either in his notes or memories. Meanwhile Dipper was left sitting under a tree and trying to figure out what the stone said. What he really wanted was to find the rest of it- he was sure that there was at least another two pieces, maybe more.

"Hey Dipper." He looked up to see Wendy walking towards him.

"Hey!" Dipper smiled. "Heading off to class?"

"Yep." Wendy smiled. "What about you?" She leaned over to look down at stone. "What's that? Those symbols… What do they mean?"

"That's what I want to know." Dipper sighed. "We found this the other day and we think it means trouble. I'm trying to figure out what it says though so we can get ahead of this."

"Well good luck translating that. Looks like it's going to be a little rough." She chuckled.

"Thanks." Dipper smiled but froze. "Did you-." He was interrupted as the ground shook. Wendy looked around. "That was weird."

"Yeah." Dipper stood up. "This doesn't seem good."

The two were interrupted by a Dipper's phone ringing. They glanced at each other and Dipper picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Dipper!" It was Bree, whispering.

"Bree, what's going on?"

"There's a… a demon…" Bree was still whispering. "Ford's classroom… Please get help." And then it went silent.

"Bree!" Dipper frowned. "Come on!" He started running towards the classroom. He dialed up Mabel as he ran. "Mabel listen! There is a demon in Ford's classroom- call Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford and tell them to come! I'm heading there now with Wendy."

"Got it." Mabel understood the gravity of the situation and wasn't about to talk his ear off. Dipper could hear noise as he got closer to the classroom. Crashing. He stopped and Wendy slid behind him. They both peeked into the classroom and found what looked like a large wolf knocking into a door. The wolf itself not only had red fur but also had a snake for a tail and scales up and down it's back legs.

"What is that?" Wendy whispered.

"A demon." Dipper whispered. He looked over and spotted a familiar figure sitting on the floor. A small circle of fire surrounded the man crouching there. "Rufus."

"What?" Wendy asked.

"A classmate of mine… He was mad at Ford." Dipper sighed. "Let's go." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun, specifically a thunder gun. Ford had done a lot with it and it was pretty much perfect. Wendy nodded and the two moved into the classroom silently. They crouched behind the seats and slowly started moving down towards the door.

"What is that?" Wendy whispered, nodding towards the door.

"Ford's office." Dipper whispered. "I'm guessing Bree is in there."

The wolf suddenly perked up and growled. It turned away from Bree and started walking towards them. It growled and the fur around it's neck lit up on fire.

"Elemental demon." Dipper whispered. The wolf howled and started running towards them.

"DIpper!" Wendy gasped.

"I see it coming!" Dipper stood up and shot the gun at it. The demon roared and avoided the thunder, moving closer to Rufus.

"Destroy them. Show them that I deserve an A." Rufus was whispering. His voice sounded slightly demented.

"Rufus stop!" Dipper called out at him. "No grade is worth all this!"

"An A… I need an A… Dad won't be happy… without an A…"

The wolf growled and it's tail swiped, also sparking with more fire. It howled and came charging towards them again.

"DIPPER!" A bolt of lightly shot past them and nailed the wolf in the chest. It went sprawling out on the ground and whimpered slightly. "You okay?" Ford rested a hand on Dipper's shoulder. "You alright kid?" combined cipher

"I'm fine." Dipper looked at the wolf as it stood up. "That thing is tough."

"Wolf demon?" Mabel asked.

"Looks more like a fire demon." Stan said as the two entered the room. "Hey Wendy."

"Hey Stan." Wendy nodded. "Ready for all this?"

"An A…" Rufus whispered. "An A…"

"What's wrong with that kid?" Ford frowned. "No A is worth summoning a demon." Ford shot at the wolf again as it charged towards them. "And what is it doing here?"

"After us I guess. 'Dipper said. "You because you're the teacher and then Bree and I because we're the TAs."

"Bree?" Ford and Stan looked at Dipper, who nodded towards the office room.

"DIPPER WATCH OUT!" Wendy pushed Dipper as a fireball went hauling towards them. Stan and Ford had protected Mabel.

"Wendy!"

"I'm okay." Her clothes were a little singed but Wendy seemed fine. "Man that is one angry oversized wolf."

"Yeah." Dipper smiled. "Let's go put it in the pound."

Ford, Stan, Wendy, and Mabel nodded. The five of them split up and went running in different directions in the room. The wolf howled and went running towards Ford.

"GRUNKLE FORD!" Dipper and Mabel yelled together. And then the wolf howled and went stumbling. It tripped over it's paws and seemed to shrink. The fire on it went out. Dipper looked over to the Bree holding a bucket and holding it over Rufus, who was soaking wet. The fire circle around him had gone out. Bree was breathing deeply and Dipper noticed that her clothes were singed and in some places burnt.

"GET IT!" She yelled.

Both Dipper and Ford acted at the same time and shot together. The demon wolf howled out in pain before turning into a small ball of flames and then going out completely.

Bree sighed and stumbled back. "That was awful." She collapsed back. "And that is why you never yell at your students." She sat down in one of the nearby seats.

Dipper sighed and went walking towards Rufus. "Are you okay?" He reached out a hand and Rufus slapped his hand away. "Leave me alone." He whispered. "I don't want your help." He was clutching at something. "Listen-."

"I'll kick you out of this class." Ford folded his arms over his chest. "You summoned a demon. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that during day one of class. NEVER. I repeat NEVER summon a demon."

"I could control it."

"It was controlling you!" Stan shoved at Rufus' chest as he stood up. "That thing nearly killed all of us. Demons control you. You can't trust them."

Dipper looked over to see Bree fingering her necklace chain. She was still breathing heavily. He walked over. "You okay?"

"I nearly got killed by that thing." She sighed. "I nearly died… I have so much left I want to do… Sometimes I hate this town." She looked at Dipper. "Let's talk to Ford about not angering people who have a chance at summoning demons."

Dipper smiled. "Yeah no problem."

"Hey Dipper!" Wendy called.

"Talk to you later." Dipper smiled at Bree and then headed over to Wendy. "What's up?"

"I'm going to head to class. Let me know what happens later, k." Wendy smiled.

"Yeah no problem."

"See ya." Wendy headed towards the door.

"DIPPER!" Mabel called over. He turned to see her holding something up. A stone piece. His eyes widened and he ran over. He took the stone from her. It looked just like the other one. Only this one had Mabel's symbol on it and more letter symbols on it. He counted a couple upside down triangles-es. "Where did you find this?" Dipper looked at Rufus who was shaking.

"It.. It came through with the demon… He had it in his mouth… Is it worth an A?"

Dipper sighed and looked down at the stone. "Grunkle Ford?"

"I'll take care of him… I'll talk to the dean. Go work on translating."

"Right." Dipper didn't even look up as he headed towards the door. He started comparing the two pieces in his head. The two pieces didn't fit together but he was sure they were from the same tablet. And he was going to work on finishing the translation.
