fandomhigh | Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

"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!

EDIT: *facepalm* Sorry, should have been more clear. You can say where you landed when you de-photon.]]

Without a backwards look and with a cry of "WAHOO!", Ms. Frizzle jumped into the funnel, disappearing completely. A beam of light shot from the lightbulb and a moment later Ms. Frizzle was standing by a tree outside, waving her arms for the class to follow

[[When you jump into the funnel, you become a photon for one millionth of a second and shoot out in all directions, only turning back into a person when you hit something.

If someone ~~can come up with a reason why they~~ would hit a mirror, please do, as you will bounce off the mirror and keep going until you hit something.

People aiming for windows or glass will land inside the room once they hit the opposite wall and can be rescued by the bus.]]

"Sitting Bull!" Pippi yelled jumping after Ms. Frizzle.

Give her a break, she's Swedish.

"WAHOO!" Ms Frizzle yelled encouragingly. "That's the spirit!"

Pippi felt crackley and even more full of energy then normal. (Which is saying something.)

She flew into the shiny leg of a desk and bounced away.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Tyler closed his eyes and jumped.

It felt ... fizzy.

Naomi was a little bit nervous about jumping so she took a deep breath and then jumped.

Molly jumped out the window. "WHEEEE!" She yelled as she slid down the funnel.

She was still yelling it when she reappeared on the ground below.

Chad didn't so much as jump into the funnel as he did drop.

He was scratching the back of his head thoughtfully when he reappeared.

Ms Frizzle bounced over. "What are you thinking?" she asked, eyes shining.

Chad leaned on the wall that helped him rematerialize, or whatever it would have been called, putting up one foot against. "Trying to remember if I've done that before."

Ms Frizzle laughed. "Have you? That's wonderful! Light does this all the time, isn't that incredible?"

"I haven't," he decided after a moment. "I got confused with something else. But, yeah. Uh, light's pretty cool like that."

Gwynn might have squeaked as she felt herself falling through the tunnel thingie. When she hit the ground. she looked around in a bit of confusion.

A lizard conscientiously helped her up before Ms Frizzle descended. "So?"

Gwynn looked a bit shellshocked. "That was odd."

"I'll bet!" Ms Frizzle said, throwing out her arms excitedly. "And light does that all the time! Can you imagine?"

"I'd think it would get a headache?"

Ms Frizzle laughed. "I like the way you think! Does light get a headache? Wouldn't it be interesting to find out?"

"I guess it could be an interesting puzzle to figure out."

So there was magic, and there was science, and then there was this, which was making Edward's head hurt. Because it looked like people were jumping into a giant funnel and getting zapped all over creation.

That was completely nuts. He kind of sidled over, peered at the funnel, then shrugged and jumped in. ~~Couldn't be any worse than the Gate, could it?~~

He ended up on his head against a wall, wondering what the hell kind of truck that hit him and where he could get its license plate number.

Pippi appeared upside down with her legs and lower back up against the wall next to him.

"Oof! Hey Ed!"

"Uh, hi." Edward was waiting for his world to right itself. Which might help if he, you know, moved. "That was different."

"You think we could go again?"

"As many times are you like!"

Um. Okay.

It doesn't look like anyone's dead, so. Eh. Jaye jumps, doing one of those pencil dives people do when they really don't want to dive into a pool head first.
