Magic School Bus characters watch the show

By: Sayaalv

A/N: I own nothing and came up with this in a way in which I forgot.

After a few moments of everyone getting settled into their seats and giving Ms. Frizzle and her class some strange looks the screen started up, effortlessly drawing all attention to it. (The original show will be in italics anything I change will be in italics and bold while normal commenting will be in normal type.)

Honk! Honk! The magic school bus tooted when it pulled up to the bus stop where the class of eight was waiting patiently.

'Seat belts everyone!' Frizzle shouts smiling widely at her students after the bus doors opened and the kids boarded.

'Please let this be a normal field trip.' Arnold begged playfully.

'With the Frizz?' Wanda asks from behind Arnold with a grin on her face.

'NO WAY!' All the kids but Arnold shouted happily, causing Arnold to groan playfully.

'Cruisin' on down Main Street You're relaxed and feeling good, Next thing that you know you're seein',

'YAHOO!' Frizz yells, Octopus in the neighborhood? Surfin' on a sound wave Then you're swingin' through the stars,

'Yeha!' Ralphie shouts as he hung onto the bus, Take a left at your intestine, Take your second right past Mars On The Magic School Bus, Navigate a nostril, Climb on The Magic School Bus, Spank a plankton, too, On our Magic School Bus Raft a river of lava, On the Magic School Bus Such a fine thing to do! So strap your bones right to the seat, Come on in and don't be shy Just to make your day complete you might get baked into a pie!' Here the theme song was interrupted by Ms. Frizzle and her class laughing as the baker on the screen fainted.

'On The Magic School Bus, Step inside, it's a wild ride! Come on! Ride on The Magic School Bus!'

"Bravo! What a wonderful beginning to the show!" Ms. Frizzle said laughing at the scenes the intro song showed with her students not to far behind.

The video now showed the outside of the Elementary school before showing Ms. Frizzles classroom where the students were decorating.

'Pass me that one next Phoebe.'

'Okay Ralphie.' Phoebe said handing the baseball cap wearing boy something no one could see right then.

'It's going to be a model of the solar system.' Arnold explained to his cousin.

"Hey this was just last week! Does this mean it won't show the accident?" Carlos asks at seeing his friends and himself decorating the classroom in the cartoon.

"It might not Carlos. But it may still allude to the accident and then we'd have to explain further." Ms. Frizzle says smiling down at the Mexican-American boy on her left. This caused all eight of her students to nod in understanding while everyone else just looked confused and curious.

'Neat huh, Janet?' Arnold asks his identical cousin while holding a large circular something in his hands.

'Uh. I hate to tell you this Arnold, but when my class built a solar system the sun was so huge we had to hang it from the flag pole.' Janet bragged to her cousin.

"No we didn't. Our classes solar system fit into one of the corners of the room and the sun wasn't even as big as my fist." Janets' science and homeroom teacher said exposing the red haired girls bragging as a lie.

'Yeah right. I saw her classes' solar system. Saturn and Jupiter were about as big as my pocketbook.' Dorothy Ann mentally told her classmates and friends, causing them to let loose a bunch of mental snorts while their faces betrayed nothing.

"You're all telepathic?" Janet asks looking at her cousin and his classmates wide eyed.

"Nah. Only me and Ms. Frizzle are telepathic. We just have a semi-permanent mental link with the rest of the class." Dorothy Ann explained after getting the mental 'Go ahead' from her teacher.

"Woah." A few kids murmured while the adults were looking at Ms. Frizzle and D.A. shocked.

'You had all nine planets?' Keesha asks smiling politely at the arrogant girl.

"No. We only had eight of them because someone forgot to make Pluto." Janets teacher said looking pointedly at Janet and making Arnold and his friends snort in amusement.

'That's right Keesha. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars' Here the skeleton behind Janet mimed covering its ears with its hands as the girl droned on.

'Wow. Even Ms. Frizzle is getting annoyed with her. Look at the skeleton!' Carlos mentally told his friends who all looked at the skeleton that was holding where its ears would be in faux pain and agony. The group held back snickers and giggles while Ms. Frizzle gave them all a mental wink.

"Telekinesis too?" Mr. Sinew asks looking at the frizzy red haired teacher shocked as she merely nodded.

'Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. My class already studied the solar system.' Janet bragged not noticing the skeleton or everyone hiding snickers and giggles behind their masks of annoyance.

"We only started to cover the solar system the day before that and were supposed to continue that day but you weren't there." Janets teacher corrected with a pointed look at Janet again.

'I betcha your class didn't learn about the aliens that live on the planets.' Ralphie said smiling at his friends.

'They probably didn't. They still don't know what planet Janet comes from after all.' Dorothy mentally joked to her friends, causing all of them to smirk and smile while holding back snickers again.

This caused all but the adults and Janet to snicker while Ms. Frizzle smiled at her students indulgently and Janet began to protest indiginatly, but she was silenced by a sharp glare that Keesha gave her.

'For your information Ralphie. Earth is the only planet that can support life as far as we know.' Janet said pointing to a picture of the solar system that was actually moving.

'And how far do you know?' Ralphie asks winking at Carlos before he and his friends began laughing.

'Really far cause I got straight A's on all my tests.' Janet said arrogantly.

"No, we only had one test at the beginning of the solar system unit and you got a B- on it." Janets teacher corrected once again, causing Ms. Frizzles class to snicker and giggle at the disbelief and terror on Janets face at this information.

'And this proves it.' Janet says holding up a paper from out of nowhere with shapes and 'A's on it.

'Those are her scores from class last year. Look at the date on the bottom of the page.' Carlos mentally told his friends who were all looking at Janet annoyed. They did and had to hide the snorts from the arrogant girl, even Ms. Frizzle gave a mental snort at this.

Here Janet looked horrified and indignant but held her tongue at the sight of both Keeshas and Ralphies glares.

'If you already know so much Janet, why did you come to visit our class?" Dorothy asks as she spray paints one of the larger planets.

'Because Arnold told me all about your field trips, Dorothy Ann.' Janet answers walking towards the blond while her cousin was mentally banging his head against a wall until Ms. Frizzle asked if he would stop that before he hurt himself.

'What did he say?' Dorothy asks as she, Liz, and the rest of her classmates turn to look at Janet.

'That they were, and I quote, 'highly unusual' and you know what I said?' Janet asks causing the kids and Ms. Frizzle to release mental sighs of relief while Dorothy, Liz, and Carlos shook their heads.

'Prove it.' Janet challenged before walking towards Arnold.

'She's really nice. Once you get to know her.' Arnold tried to stick up for his cousin weakly.

'Do you know her yet?' Phoebe mentally asks causing Arnold to give a mental shake of his head.

Just then Ms. Frizzle opened the door and walked in the classroom wearing a dark blue dress with planets, the moon, stars, and the sun on it and a pair of green planet shaped earrings. Then there was this weird mini-solar system thing on her head like a hat.

'Well good morning class.' Ms. Frizzle said smiling at her students cheerfully before waking over and placing a hand on Janets shoulder.

'Have you all met Arnolds cousin, Janet?' Ms. Frizzle asks aloud, a fake smile plastered onto her face.

'Yes Ms. Frizzle.' The class replied nodding their heads dully.

'Been around her not even five minutes and we don't like her one bit.' Ralphie mentally added as Ms. Frizzle walked towards her desk.

'My teacher doesn't dress like that.' Janet comments to her cousin as the teacher walked away from her.

'I'm letting you know now Arnold. I hear one comment against Ms. Frizzle from your cousin and she will be eating my knuckles for lunch.' Dorothy mentally told her friend who merely nodded along in agreement in his head but looked at his cousin boredly on the outside.

"We don't like it when someone talks bad about Ms. Frizzle and if they're dumb enough to do so in front of us…" D.A. said leaving the sentence hanging at all of the stunned looks she was getting from all but her classmates, who were nodding in agreement, and Ms. Frizzle, who was merely smiling at them all fondly.

'Don't worry. I'll even hold her still for you.' Arnold mentally responded to his blond haired friend.

"I'm just as protective of Ms. Frizzle as the others are and not even Janet or my parents would get away with insulting her, especially not in front of me." Arnold said adjusting his glasses so that they glinted dangerously in the auditorium lights. Ms. Frizzle merely chuckled fondly and patted the top of Arnolds head, causing the red haired boy to smile slightly and lean into the touch.

'That's nothing. Sometimes the Frizz looks totally outrageous.' 'In a good way but I doubt she would believe me if I said that and even showed her pictures.' Arnold added mentally.

'Well since we're lucky enough to have a guest today.' Ms. Frizzle began as she set down her purse and strange hat and held her arms out for Liz to jump in them and crawl up to her neck.

'I'd say it's a perfect time for a field trip!' Ms. Frizzle said her earrings lighting up as she did so. This announcement caused everyone but Arnold and his cousin to cheer out loud.

'Hey cous. Now's the chance to prove it.' Janet said smirking at her cousin who merely growled at her.

'Don't worry Arnold. We'll show her a true field trip. Care to help me with a bit of a ruse?' Ms. Frizzle mentally asks her red haired student who mentally smirked and asked what she needed him to do.

'I wonder where we're going today?' One of the boys asks in an obviously faked tone of curiosity.

'Inside a rocky wall?'

'Been there.'

'To the bottom of the ocean?'

'Done that.'

'Hmn. We're going into outer space again. We haven't been to outer space since the accident that gave us our powers. Think it'll happen again?' Ralphie mentally asks his friends worriedly.

'No, Ralphie. There won't be a repeat of the accident. Radioactive shockwaves like those only happen once every twenty years.' Ms. Frizzle reassures even though she made no move to turn the bus into a rocket ship.

'We're going to the planetarium? Hardly unusually, Arnold.' Janet says crossing her arms over her chest as she looked at her cousin.

'I can't wait to see the look on her face when it comes time for us to blast off.' Carlos mentally said to his friends and earned snorts of agreement from them.

'The Frizz taking us on a normal field trip? Believe me, that's unusual.' Arnold says while his friends nod their agreement even as Ms. Frizzle and Liz exchange glances and winks.

'Hm, hm, hm. How odd. Closed today.' Frizzle said in an obviously unsurprised voice, causing the students to hide their smirks at the planned situation. All that was left was for Janet to tick Arnold off.

'Closed?' Arnold asked in pretended shock while his cousin smirked at him superiorly.

'Well looks like we'll just have to go back to school.' Ms. Frizzle said as Liz jumped off of her shoulder and onto the bus floor as she turned around, making her students mock groan.

'Some field trip Arnold.' Janet began not noticing Liz on the back of their seat.

'You know what? My teacher would've called ahead.' Janet begins, almost effortlessly annoying Arnold and Liz immediately.

"She's got ya there cause Ms. Frizzle is known for unexpected field trips." Janets teacher reluctantly admitted.

'Because my teacher plans ahead. My teacher never makes mistakes, my teacher is a zillion times better than yours.' Janet begins making Liz and Arnold glare at her dangerously while the other students were ready to beat the crap out of her in a nanosecond and were only placated by the fact they knew what Ms. Frizzle had planned. Well, that and the fact that Ms. Frizzle was mentally singing a soft lullaby to soothe their nerves.

"I make mistakes and everyone knows that Ms. Frizzle is the best teacher there is." Janets teacher said while all the students were glaring at Janet, they liked the eccentric lady in wacky cloths.

'Nobody is better than Ms. Frizzle.' Arnold said loyally as he glared at his cousin.

'Oh yeah? Prove. It.' Janet challenged and that was the signal that they had been waiting for.

'Stop the bus!' Arnold yelled causing the bus to stop short almost automatically. His classmates exchanged looks and grins as Arnold walked up to the front of the bus.

'Yes Arnold?' Ms. Frizzle asks smiling at the bespectacled boy as he stood next to her.

'Isn't there-you know- someplace else you could take us?' Arnold asks as his classmates watched him.

'You mean. Another planetarium?' Ms. Frizzle asks as planned while the students had to hide their smirks.

'Well sort of but bigger.' Arnold asks smiling at his teacher who pretended to be confused.

'Bigger?'

'You know. The big one.' Arnold asks pretending to be secretive so that his cousin wouldn't catch on.

'Oh Arnold. Why didn't I think of that?' Frizzle asks smiling widely as she reached for a lever, while Arnold ran back to his seat with a devil may care grin on his face.

'Technically you did. Arnold just said it aloud.' Dorothy pointed out mentally and causing the others to give mental shrugs as Ms. Frizzle began the countdown.

'Wha-What's happening?' Janet asks when the bus turned into a rocket and blasted off.

'A field trip!' The small class exclaimed happily while Janet looked out of her window.

'Into outer space? Highly unusual.' Janet commented, making the class give mental smirks.

'Mission accomplished class.' Ms. Frizzle says not even bothering to hide her smirk since she knew Janet couldn't see it. This caused the class of eight to give her and each other mental high fives and whoop in success.
