[There's no getting around it. It's an essay. About the dangers of sugar abuse on your health, linked to several medical articles. In it, she links the abuse of sugar to depression, diabetes, dopamine imbalances, fueling cancer cells and making tumors more aggressive, impotence, increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease, increased inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis, increased risk of strokes, kidney failure, and rotting teeth.

Included in her essay is a list of signs of sugar abuse, including false teeth, rotten teeth, pupil dilation, jitteriness, mid-afternoon 'crashes', and other symptoms.

She wraps up with a plea for people to seek help and rehabilitation for their addictions and avoid anyone who might try to push such addictive substances on them.]

[This is where they are now. This is the conversation they're having. Okay, then.]

Dipper, I'm not going to judge what you get up to. Just...let me know if you have any questions, or if you need the talk.

[He's pretty sure that Dipper's never been past first base, if he's ever gotten up to bat at all. He's also pretty sure that telling him no will just encourage him further. Might as well take the middle ground and be prepared.]

[He still waves his hands frantically.]

I really, really meant the traps would just be guarding my suite in general, though. I really did.

[He turns bright red.]

So I'm good. I don't need any talks about...things. No things are happening.

Plus, the teen websites I read were really informative.

[Another pause, and he goes even redder, as he realizes that means he just admitted space googling the subject.]

And I only looked at them because I'm a naturally curious person! Technically it's biological science!

[Yep, he's still a kid.]

Dipper. I just said I'm not judging you. It's fine.

[Hilarious - not that Wash is going to show that - but fine.]
