Ms Frizzle's outfit today was a cute little sundress adorned with waves and anchors and flags and various picturesque bits of boats. Instead of her usual pumps, she was in flip-flops adorned with a wee beachball on each foot.

"Today, class," she trilled, "Field trip time! We're going to be going to the beach! Now, I've asked Liz to find me two beach things that are related. Liz?"

Liz rather sheepishly scrambled up onto the lab bench and held up the tuna sandwich from Ms Frizzle's lunch and shook herself. She looked like she had fallen in a pond in her scramble to find something for class, with green pond scum sticking to her wee lizardy tail.

"Wonderful!" Ms Frizzle said brightly, picking Liz up and tucking her in the crook of her arm. "Perfect examples!" The lizard looked bewildered. Ms Frizzle looked like she was about to go on, but she was interrupted by a loud beep. "Alright, class! Time for our field trip! Everyone to the bus!"

[[Don't know how much I'll be around. I am currently displaying five of the seven symptoms of the virus that's shutting down campus, but not the two major ones that scream 'Norwalk'. ~~Wait for the OCD.~~ Get messy, etc.!]]

The Friz smiled. "The best way to learn about something is to jump right," she said. "So hold on tightly, class!" Suddenly the bus lurched towards the ocean. It flopped. It flipped. And then it jumped up and into the water, just like a dolphin. The students would find themself in diving suits at the moment. Diving through the water, they were surrounded by seaweed. Ms Frizzle pointed out sea urchins and then the sea otters which ate the sea urchins.

Pippi is thrilled.

Naomi was very used to these kind of field trips now and she gazed out the window excitedly.

Arggg, the water makes him nervous...

JD is definately on the look out for sharks. He seems a bit nervous.

"Pennies would be better than this..."

Liz pointed excitedly out the front window at the green scum floating ahead of them. "Shall we take a closer look?" Ms Frizzle asked, looking pleased. She pressed a button and suddenly the bus was shrinking. "There we go!" she said. "We are now as tiny as the green phytoplankton. Class, please put on the specially designed underwater breathing masks that you will find under your seats. Then off we go! Remember, look for connections!"

Much bigger creatures began floating by, chomping on the phytoplankton the students were swimming with. "Look out, children!" Ms Frizzle called as she was swept up in the net the bus had extended to catch them all. "We're the right size to be someone's lunch! All aboard. As I always say, it's better to be in the bus that in someone else!" And with a spin and a whoosh, they grew to the size of the thing that had just tried to eat them. "We are now zooplankton!"

"Now, class, you see that "huge thing" over there?" Ms Frizzle pointed out the front windshield at the giant fish munching on the zooplankton surrounding them. "That is an anchovy." She pressed a yellow button, and the bus grew again. In a few seconds, they were as big as the anchovies. "Hmm . . . I'm feeling a bit hungry," she muttered and began munching on her tuna sandwich. "So you see, children, the scum is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is eaten by zooplankton. Zooplankton are eaten by anchovies, and anchovies are eaten by bigger fish, like -"

Everything went very dark.

The bus bounced against something and came to a stop. Ms Frizzle turned on the lights. "Class," she announced, "we are now inside an albacore tuna."

Pippi loves albacore!

JD is totally freaking out. Its like a shark, with fewer teeth.

"Hold still, everyone!" Ms Frizzle smiled. "Here's our chance!" A fishhook appeared ahead of them, and a clamp shot out from the top of the bus, latching onto it. The school bus whizzed out of the tuna's mouth and through the water as someone reeled them in. A huge face peered at them as they dangled from a fishing line.

"Another school bus!" the fisherwoman said thoughtfully. "Second one today. Back it goes!" She unhooked the bus and tossed it back in the ocean.

"Don't worry, children," said the Friz as she pressed another button on the dashboard. "When in the surf, do as the surfers do!" she yelled over the sound of the waves, and they were all surfing back to shore on the back of the Magic School Surfboard, Liz clinging to Ms Frizzle's arm.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The bell was ringing when they arrived back at school. "Alright, children, see you next week! We'll be going on another joint field trip with the Biology and Health classes, so meet on the front steps of the school again! Goodbye!"

It's really hard to type 'phytoplankton' and 'zooplankton' several times in a row while too dizzy to sit upright.

Gwynn will not be doing much as I am really, really ill. :( Sorry.

Don't dieeee T.T If you do then you can't yell at me for being a dirty girlfriend kisser (again). Oh Ranma... you're a horrible person...
