Accidents Happen

part II

After everyone felt each other up and slapped one another, we peacefully went through the cave. Arnold was still on his quest to feel up Phoebe. It pissed me off. Stoopid, poo-poo headed Phoebe!

We turned on the lights on our hard hats as the cave got deeper. It was hot in there.

"Phoebe, find someone else's had to hold," DA said. "Your hand is too wet!"

"I'll hold you, Phoebe!" Arnold automatically volunteered.

Everyone laughed on how he said it. I bet he was blushing.

"Class, be quiet, we're coming up to the nesting grounds," Ms. Frizzle said quietly.

"Nesting grounds?!" Phoebe shrieked. "Arnold, hold me!"

Everyone giggled.

We turned off our lamps and could hear the bats squeaking. Not only that but we could also hear Phoebe whimpering. Just then, one of the bats flew from the ceiling of the cave and around us.

"AAAHHH!!" Phoebe screamed. "It's in my hair! It's in my hair!!"

She ran out of the cave, screaming bloody Mary.

"Phoebe!" Arnold called after her.

"Forget her!" I said. "We need to keep going."

How could a bat eat your retina without it going through your eye first? WHY would a bat eat your retina? Maybe Phoebe told the story wrong to DA, or maybe she was being stupid as always. Sometimes I think Liz, the class lizard, is smarter than her.

No, correction: I know Liz is smarter than Phoebe.

"We'd better go after her," Ms. Frizzle said. "I don't want to get sued again."

The seven of us ran out of the cave after Ms. Frizzle. We found Phoebe sitting on a log, scratching her head.

"They were going to eat my retinas...they were going to eat my retinas," she mumbled to herself.

"What's going on here?" one of the park rangers asked.

"She's fu--" I was about to say.

"Wanda!" Ms. Frizzle hissed.

The park ranger, whose name was Steve, sat down next to Phoebe. "It's ok, it's normal for little girls to be afraid of rodents."

"Even if they eat your retinas?" Phoebe asked.

Steve stood up and faced Ms. Frizzle. "Wow, she is fu--"

"Steve!" Ms. Frizzle hissed.

"Sorry, anyway, I think she needs to see a film we have about bats. They're showing it at the IMAX theater in the welcome center."

"Good, good," Ms. Frizzle said. She looked at Phoebe. "See, Phoebe? You're getting help!"

"I don't WANT help--" Phoebe was cut off by Ralphie.

"'I want Arnold!'," Ralphie said in his "Phoebe" voice.

Everyone busted a gut, even Ms. Frizzle. Arnold looked pissed and Phoebe stared blankly at us. I wiped a tear away. Damn, I was laughing so hard.

"To the IMAX!" Ms. Frizzle said.

We made a single file line to the IMAX. Ms. Frizzle pulled out her wallet when we got to the ticket booth.

"Hmm, which movie? 'Batz'? 'When the Bats Ate Humankind'? 'When Bats Attack 5'? Oh, there it is! 'The Bat is Your Friend'. Nine tickets for 'The Bat Is Your Friend'."

Ms. Frizzle bought the tickets and we went in. Phoebe sat next to Arnold. Obviously. The movie started out with this really stupid music. Then these kids dressed like it was the 80's came out. The bottom said "copyright: 1983".

"The bat is your friend," the narrator said. "The bat will not hurt you. The bat will not bite you. Unless you do what Billy here is doing."

They showed some stupid skinny boy start provoking the bat by pulling it's wings. Then all of a sudden, the bat reared around and DECAPITATED the boy! OMG!! It was AWESOME! This was an educational form of Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp!

"AHH!" Phoebe screamed as she grabbed Arnold.

Phoebe dug her face into Arnold's shirt. I looked Arnold's face. He was white with fear. Ralphie, Tim, and Carlos cheered. DA and Keesha were shocked, then they went relaxed.

"See? Billy was not very smart. But if you look at Sally, she is treating the bat with kindness. The bat loves her and will not harm her. If YOU treat a bat with kindness, the bat will not kill you. Unlike Billy's situation."

The lights came on and we left. That was short, yet awesome. We stepped outside. Ranger Steve was there holding a bat cage.

"I've learned my lesson," Phoebe said. "I'm not afraid of bats. If I'm nice to them, they'll be nice to me."

"That's good," Ranger Steve said. "Would you like to pet our bat, Chipmunk?"

"Sure!" Phoebe said.

She reached in to pet Chipmunk. Chipmunk then reared around and bit Phoebe's finger! He left teeth marks.

"Ahh!" Phoebe cried as she held her finger.

It was official. This field trip ROCKED!
