Science! (Thursday, Period 7)
Ms Frizzle and Liz were playing catch as the class arrived, her ensemble for the day having a definite baseball theme, from her dangling softball-shaped earrings, to her bat-and-diamond print dress. "Good afternoon, class!"
"Today is all about motion!" she announced, pacing in front of the class and slipping suddenly, windmilling for a moment before catching herself. "Whoops! Not enough friction there! Sometimes friction, the force of my foot against the floor, for example, is a good thing." She stopped by the end of her lab bench and thrust a finger in the air. "Liz, slide me my class notes"
The lizard obliged, pushing a thick towards the woman. And although she pushed so hard she flopped over onto her scaly stomach, the book stopped sliding halfways across, still out of reach of the teacher.
"And," Ms Frizzle continued, a worrying smile beginning to spread across her face, "Sometimes it isn't. Hikaru, if you wouldn't mind, we'll need that book I leant you."
She picked up the book and began flipping through until she reached the page she was looking for. She held up the book, displaying a picture of a baseball diamond. "Imagine, children, a world without friction! You wouldn't be able to do this -" she jumped to the left, and took another step to the right "- or this -" she hopped a few steps of the Schottishe "- even if it would be easier to do this!" And she executed a Risky Business-esque slide across the front of the classroom.
She stopped. "I know!" she said suddenly. Her earrings began to glow. She snapped the book closed, thrust one hand in the air, and began marching out of the classroom. "Everyone to the bus!"
[[Thank you to everyone who offered their hugs, it means a lot. Things are being resolved, I'll try to pick up pings when I can. And yes, this lesson might look a little familiar.Please wait for the OCD. Play ball!]]

She could be at this for a while.

However, one didn't need friction to plot revenge.
