Disclaimer: I don't own Charlie Bone.
Most likely, a bad day ends up in a great way. But this doesn't exactly apply to one of the days of Charlie Bone. He has a lot of bad days, but only a few end up to be great. Well, unless you count getting detention, getting screamed at by your great aunts and grandmother, well...nice. But no. Well at least for me.
But maybe not today. Assembly this time was really different. Charlie and the rest would rather endure a day in the sun rather than listen to Ezekiels pathetic speech. Okay, why was Ezekiel making a speech? Not much that I know, except that this year would be quite different from the rest.
After Ezekiel finished the speech about studying hard..blah blah ("Study hard, your lucky your being treated well in this school!" Ezekiel said "I bet you my pocket money, it's lie." Lysander muttered to Tancred), Dr. Bloor began the most shocking announcement. "Due to financial problems, I'm afraid the school would be-" everyone heard him choke on the word 'closing' "for a while."
Of course, the emotions were bursting at that moment, but they did not do anything wild because Ezekiel was there. And so were the others. Actually if the teachers, or maybe even just Manfred and his family, weren't creeps, Charlie and the rest would have been partying.
"However-" Dr. Bloor was cut by a sneering sound from Ezekiel.
"Don't think you've won yet! I'm not just about to stop classes." Ezekiel told them.
"But where do we attend classes, sir?" a voice in the crowd asked.
"SHUT UP YOU TUB OF GREASE!" Ezekiel shouted at him. Actually the student he screamed at was slightly overweight and was actually named 'Harry Grease'.
"Guide to surviving Bloors: Number one, don't cut off Ezekiel." Olivia muttered under her breathe which made Charlie snicker a bit.
"Now, where was I? Oh, yes! The classes. We shall be visiting places around the world." Ezekiel said and retired back to his seat.
Tancred gasped. "A field trip?" he asked the others in awe.
"Well, probably." was Gabriel's 'helpful' answer.
This made the others think.
"But I thought they were experiencing financial problems, how the hell would we be able to go around the world?" Olivia thought loudly.
Then the answers came flying.
"Maybe we will use a boat!"
"A magic school bus!"
"A magic carpet!"
"Maybe we just use a map!" Billy told her
"Or it's just a piece of crap!" Tancred shouted loudly (Luckily, they were alone at the assembly hall)
"Or it's a lie!" Lysander suggested.
"Or it's a trick!" Gabriel told them, seemingly alarmed
"Or...they don't have your talent to act, Olivia." Emma said and winked at her
"What act?" Fidelio asked. Olivia glared at him and Fidelio sulked like a baby.
"What Fidelio means," Charlie said coming into the rescue "Is which one is the lie. The trip? Or the financial problem."
"The financial problem, of course." Olivia answered.
"Or maybe we get to ride in a turbine!" Someone shouted out (Who would want to ride in a turbine)
"Enough!" Asa said "Stop trying to find out. You may never will. After all, curiosity kills the dog."
"Actually it's cat, Mongrel." Olivia told him.
"Actually, it's time you learned how to treat me respect, you low class actress." Asa huffed and marched away.
Of course, Asa is now on their side. But when he sometimes gets bored, he picks on them.
Olivia was overcome with shock. She? The daughter of the movie makers? Low class actress? She was actually on the verge of tears. Fortunately, Charlie and Billy comforted her.
"Maybe we get to ride a plane!" Someone finally said after much thought.
Well, duh. Charlie thought silently
All seemed thrilled. Well, except Billy.
"Uh, Billy?" Emma looked at Billy. He was shaking.
"I think he remembers the play the Drama Students performed yesterday." Charlie informed her.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with watching a play. However, almost everything seemed strange to Billy.
Last night, the play featured a family traveling. However, the plane lost fuel and crashed in the sea. The father died because he sacrificed himself to save the family. Billy had to ask Emma, the aerial expert, if it is possible. Emma knew to calm him down, she had to say "No", unfortunately Olivia taunted him and told him "Yes, it's a true story, like it?"
2:30 P.M
"What are you doing here?" Lysander asked Charlie and Fidelio as he packed a suitcase.
"Our classes were cut short." Fidelio explained.
Tancred was having difficulty trying to pack his stuff. Well, thats not a surprise. Take a look at his closet. Well, lets just say, you might wanna leave it alone. Alright I'll tell you a few contents. A half eaten sandwich. Clothes that should be in the laundry. Dagbert's sea gold urchin. A portrait of Emma which he drew. And lets just say that he's not exactly a professional. And a portrait of him drawn by Emma.
"Urghh! Come on, fit in!" he cried while trying to grunt his stuff in the suitcase.
Asa then came storming in with a bunch of clothes and other stuff to pack.
"Need help?" he asked Tancred.
"Yes!" he told Asa.
Asa took his clothes and in a record time, arranged his stuff.
"Woah," Fidelio said "Since when did you get organized?"
"I don't know." he told Fidelio.
Charlie looked at the portraits that he kept in a corner. Henry whom he met and saved from the Bloors. Benjamin and Runnerbean, his best friend. Uncle Paton, Mom, Dad, Masie. There was just so much to miss.
"I'll miss my family." Gabriel said folding his clothes neatly.
"Me too." Fidelio agreed.
Almost everyone agreed. So why almost? Billy. He fell silent. He silently packed his clothes as the other boys went on with their family
So this is how it feels for other people to miss their family Billy thought silently to himself.
Charlie looked at Billy and learned his reaction. Poor Billy missing out on all the fun.
The next day...
Charlie went out to the school grounds with his friends. A lot of students seemed to be frozen. Staring at something intently. Apparently, something huge.
The sight wowed Charlie too. There were three private, personal, planes.
Billy, althought still trembling, was also amazed.
"Well then," Dr. Bloor boomed using a bullhorn "As I call your name enter the planes. One for the Drama Department, another for the Art Department, and for the Music Department."
Dr. Bloor began the roll call for the Drama department, Manfred for the Music Department, and Ezekiel for the Art department.
"Does the plane have enough fuel?" Billy asked shuddering.
"Yes Billy." Fidelio reassured him.
Then, Asa appeared with Olivia right behind her. Asa seemed to be carrying her stuff.
"What the-?" the others asked in amazement.
"He lost a challenge." Olivia told the others.
"What challenge?" Tancred asked, particularly because of his love for challenges.
"Oh, thats for you to find out." Olivia said and walked away.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!
"Alright Asa," Olivia told him as they were in the grounds "If you lose the challenge, you carry my stuff tomorrow!"
"Deal!" Asa said and grinned.
"Alright Mongrel!" Olivia began
"That won't crumble me low class."
"Go back to where you belong Mongrel."
"Stop trying to act low class."
"Stop attracting fleas!"
"Stop ruining our plays!"
"Stop destroying nature!"
"Stop trying to act like a high class you wannabee!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Oh yeah!"
"Well then stop slobbering!"
"Well then stop......uh...stop.....dreaming?"
"YOU LOSE!"
Back to the Present
"Bone, Charlie!" Manfred called out.
Charlie grabbed his stuff and ran to the plane for the music department.
The plane was chaos. Abigail Banner was playing the trumpet, John Barry was playing his guitar. Trey Anderson was singing with his friends in "God Save The Queen".
Charlie heard Manfred say "Gunn, Fidelio!"
"Hiya Charlie!" Fidelio said and sat down next to him.
"This plane is chaos." he said and looked at Trey Anderson (They were now singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" And Harry Grease had joined them)
"Yeah." Charlie agreed.
They waited for a few minutes, then-
"Raven, Billy!" Manfred boomed (Which really wasn't heard by the Music Department)
"Hello Charlie!" Billy called out as he ducked the people causing chaos in the plane.
"Hello!" Charlie and Fidelio greeted.
"Man, isn't it noisy?" he asked and looked at the noisemakers, particularly Trey Anderson (Now they were singing "All About You" by McFly).
Then another person joined them.
"Cook!" Charlie and Billy shouted with glee.
Cook smiled at them.
However, another person joined them.
"Keep it down will you? It's either I hypnotize you or burn you!"
Cook once again "Now you watch your language young man and apologize to them!"
"Sorry." Manfred muttered, becoming the "Jittering Junior" that Olivia described him when he got scolded by Cook.
"We're ready to fly now!" said the plane captain and they took off.
