Where we left off, you guys were quite disturbed and creeped out by Ginger. Yeah, I can tell. Oh well. That's how Ginger is supposed to be.
The next morning was boring as usual. The entire class sat in their seats, waiting for the teacher to start talking about things they couldn't care less about.
The only difference was, Ginger wasn't there.
"Where's Ginger?" Sherman asked.
"Who cares?" Penny scoffed. "As long as she's not here, I'm fine."
Sherman giggled.
All of a sudden, the principal's voice became audible on the speakers. "Good morning, everybody! Today is Tuesday, May 13th. We have a lot of announcements for you today, so please listen care-"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sherman and Penny were beyond shocked. That was Ginger's voice. On the intercom.
"AHHHHHHH!" the principal screamed, scared by Ginger.
The class broke down in laughter, even Sherman and Penny. Even the teacher was chuckling in her desk.
"GINGER WALSH!" the principal screeched. "That is unacceptable! How dare you sneak up and scare me while I am doing the announcements!"
"Oh my god, this is hilarious!" Penny said, laughing her head off.
"I love this!" Sherman exclaimed.
The class began to laugh even more when it could hear Ginger push the principal away from the speaker.
"Hey everybody! I'm Ginger Walsh! And I've got some music for you!" Ginger yelled excitedly.
"Uh oh," said Penny, her laughing beginning to die down.
"Should we be concerned about that?" Sherman asked.
Ginger began to scream into the intercom again. "I'd like to dedicate this song to my best friends, Sherman and Penny! I'm also dedicating this song to Sherman's awesome dog father, Mr. Peabody!"
"We should we concerned about that!" Penny squealed. "Very, very concerned!"
Soon enough, Ginger had 'Everybody Dance Now' blaring at full volume on the intercom. Only half the class was still laughing at this point. Sherman and Penny had their heads down on the desk.
Suddenly, Ginger ran into the classroom like a bullet, looking out of breath. "I'm back from the principal's office!" she declared.
"Ginger, to the principal's office!" the teacher demanded.
Ginger sighed. "Aw! Again?"
"Ginger, go! Now!" the teacher yelled.
Ginger hung her head down and waddled away to go to the principal's office once again.
After six hours of torture, the bell finally rang signalling the end of the day. Sherman and Penny were finally able to stuff their binders in their desks and grab their backpack and get out.
"I still can't believe Ginger was on the announcements this morning," Sherman stated.
"Well, she actually snuck in there, scared the principal, and then played songs for everyone to hear!" Penny yelled.
All of a sudden, an ear-piercing ringing sound blasted through the thin hallways of the school. Sherman peered over to the right to see a flashing white light on the fire alarm.
"Oh my god! The fire alarm's going off!" Penny panicked.
"That's not good," Sherman mumbled.
A fat teacher wandered out of a nearby classroom. "Everyone! This is not a drill!" she hollered. "Head outside and find your class!"
Sherman and Penny ran outside to find a whole bunch of students wandering towards a big field nearby. The hardest part was finding their teacher and anyone else in their class. Once they located their class, Sherman and Penny had to stand in line in alphabetical order. Sherman was right in front of Penny.
After five minutes, the fire alarm in the school stopped ringing and the teachers announced that everyone could go home.
"It's okay, everybody!" Sherman and Penny's teacher announced. "There's no fire!"
"What?" said Sherman.
The teacher scoffed. "Somebody pulled the fire alarm," she muttered.
Sherman and Penny stared at each other.
"You don't think that's..." Penny started, but quickly drifted off.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sherman and Penny screamed and quickly turned around to find Ginger standing there with an oversized grin on her face.
"Did you pull the fire alarm?" Sherman questioned.
"Yep!" Ginger declared. She wasn't even afraid to admit it.
"Why did you do that?" Penny demanded.
Ginger shrugged. "Because you were in school."
Sherman groaned. "That's not a good reason! That's a horrible reason!"
"Bye!" Ginger yelled, running off in a direction.
Penny was left speechless. This girl had creeped both Penny and her friend, and she just... ran off when Penny had asked her a simple question!
Without saying anything, Sherman wandered over to Mr. Peabody on his scooter, with Penny following him.
"Are you guys okay?" Mr. Peabody panicked. "I heard the fire alarm going off!"
"We're fine, someone pulled the alarm on purpose," Sherman explained.
"It was Ginger, wasn't it?" Mr. Peabody guessed.
Sherman and Penny nodded.
"Why would she do that?" said Mr. Peabody.
"When I asked her, she said 'because you were in school'!" Penny complained.
Mr. Peabody sighed. "I think we should go home," he told Sherman.
"Bye, Sherman!" Penny said.
"Bye, Penny!" Sherman replied.
Sherman strapped on his helmet as Mr. Peabody comfortably drove away.
That fire alarm thing was actually based on a true event at my school. At the end of the day, the fire alarm went off and we had to go outside. The only difference was, it wasn't a drill at all. There actually was a fire. Though we didn't have to wait very long before we could go.
Reviews are appreciated.
