Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, class!" Ms Frizzle trilled as she flounced into class, standing en pointe for a moment before clapping her hands together. Today's ensemble involved a lemon-yellow dress covered in lightbulbs and glowing filaments, with matching earrings and shoes. "I am so excited about all your wonderful ideas about the science fair that you came up with the last class! Today I thought we'd talk about all the different things you can do with science -"

Suddenly, all the lights went off in the classroom.

"Oh, shoot! Liz!" Ms Frizzle called. There was a scrabble of claws and the sound of drawers being opened and closed. "Now where's that flashlight . . ." Ms Frizzle muttered to herself. "A ha! Here it is!"

The flashlight flicked on - illuminating the gigantic gremlin silhouetted against one wall of the classroom!

The classroom lights come on to reveal Liz hanging precariously from the light switch and the gremlin disappeared. Miss Frizzle straightened, turning off the flashlight, and laughed at the small gremlin bouncing on its spring in the top drawer of her lab bench. "This gives me a wonderful idea!" she crowed as her earrings began to glow and she headed for the window, leaning out and giving a sharp whistle. "Everyone to the bus!"

[[Thank you, Walter and Pip, for that lovely little segue. Please wait for OCD. OCD away! Get messy, etc!

At the window!

Students will see what seems to be a smallish yellow school bus with a gigantic lightbulb and funnel attached to the top of it. Ms. Frizzle turned to her students with a grin. "It's time for a bit of a field trip, class! It's time to takes chances! Make mistakes! And get . . . illuminated!"

Somewhere deep, deep down inside of Chad is the same excited squeal announced by Pippi. He had trouble even remembering the last fieldtrip he'd been on. He just has a different way of expressing his excitement. By grunting.

Naomi hadn't been on a field trip related to school work before and thus she was very excited by the prospect of going on one.

Gwynn... didn't know what a field trip was, but everyone seemed excited about it, so she followed them.

Edward really wasn't even awake yet. He blinked at the bus. Since when were there buses on the island, anyway?

Field trips are always good, so Jaye's happy.

Unless they're field trips to like, a meat packing plant or something.

She hopes they're not going to a meat packing plant.
