fandomhigh | Science! (Thursday, Period 7)

The science lab looks like your standard high school science lab. Lab benches in two neat rows faced a larger lab bench and chalkboard at the front of the room. There was a large open space between the last lab bench and the back row of counters and cabinets that held the assembled detritus of science!. Various projects cluttered the counters lining the classroom. A large window was propped slightly open. Those who were a few minutes early got to witness Ms Frizzle's arrival, which involved two bounces, a spin, and finished with her standing on tiptoe on foot, pointing dramatically away with a lizard clinging to her shoulder.

Today, the Friz was wearing a dress covered in, well, science!. Test tubes, flasks, atoms, cells, mathematical constants, and even a couple of planets formed the print, and bacteriophages hung from her ears.

"Good afternoon, class!" she announced, striking another little pose as Liz scrambled down from her shoulder to the safety of the lab bench and collected a stack of papers. "Welcome to Science! I hope you're all as excited about this course as I am! My name is Ms Frizzle, and this is my assistant, Liz!"

Liz waved.

"Liz is handing around the syllabus for the course and as you can see, I haven't planned a lesson for us today! I always enjoy classes so much more when I know who I'm teaching, so time for a few introductions. I am Ms Frizzle, as I said. I used to teach at Walkerville Elementary School and I love teaching science! I'm a big fan of field trips and I hope you'll get plenty of hands-on experience in this class! My favourite thing about science is figuring out how things work!"

She bounced and spun in place before clasping her hands under her chin excitedly. "Your turn! I'm sure you're sick of introductions, but tell me your name, where you're from, your favourite thing about science and whatever else you want! Also, I'm in need of a teaching assistant! If you're interested, please speak to me after class!"

Liz noticed and loped over, curious, while the Friz was talking to Hikaru.

"Hi," he said quietly. He knew better than to reach out and touch though, so he just looked back curiously.

Liz sat back on her back legs and tilted her head at him, eyes curious as she waved a 'hello' back.

Lucas grinned. That was definitely a wave. "Can you understand me?" It was a long shot.

If lizards had eyebrows, Liz would be lifting one. The look she gave him was very clearly of the 'coddle the slow' variety as she nodded.

"Are you an alien lizard?"

Liz covered her snout with her front claws, snickering at the idea. That would be a 'no'.

"Well I've met an alien, okay? I thought it didn't hurt to ask. So you're a regular Earth lizard, just...with increased brain function."

Liz folded her arms across her chest. Was he insulting her species?

"Lizards aren't sentient where I come from."

She sniffed, lifting her chin. Maybe he just hadn't been paying attention.

"Well I'm sorry! I'm just telling you what I know. Maybe I'm wrong and when someone develops an English-Lizard translator that'll prove it."

Liz relented and nodded. She scampered a little closer and patted his hand.

Lucas gave a cautious smile. "Friends?"

Liz nodded, straightening up again. She even extended a claw to shake.

Lucas gently shook Liz's claw.

Well this was the weirdest science class he'd ever taken.
