Ok, so, uh, thanks to everyone for the wonderful reviews! I don't know what else to say!

The next day, some of the kids of P.S. 118 stood outside the school, waiting to leave for the trip. Arnold, Gerald, Stinky, Lila, Sheena, Rhonda, Nadine, Phoebe, Sid, and Harold were the only fourth graders there yet. Meanwhile, back at the Pataki residence, Helga was trying as hard as she possibly could to wake up her cousin. "KRYSTLE, WAKE UP!!!! THE BUS IS GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT US!!!" she yelled in her cousin's ear. Krystle jumped up.
"Don't leave!" she said as she sat up. She looked around, and saw that she was still in the pink bedroom. She looked over at the clock, and her eyes bulged. "8:24?! Why didn't you get me up sooner?!" she cried, running over to her suitcase, grabbing out an outfit the looked identical to the one she wore the day before, and ran to the bathroom to change.
"I tried waking you up, your majesty." Helga grumbled, scornfully, grabbing her suitcase and walking out of her room. Krystle ran out of the bathroom, into Helga's room, and then ran downstairs. Helga watched, following Krystle. "You know, you don't know where my school is." she laughed, catching up to Krystle who had stopped.
"Oh, yeah, right, I forgot. Hee, hee, hee..." she trailed off, following Helga. They walked out the door and down the road to the school.
When they finally got there, everyone was already there and in the buses. They walked into bus number 23, which was the fourth grade one. Helga sat down next to Phoebe, and Krystle had to sit next to Lila. Once they sat down, four counselors walked on. One was Mr. Simmons, one was a woman with long orange hair and freckles, one was a man in his late 30s, and the other was a woman that looked like she just got out of college (she had brown curly hair and glasses).
"Ok, settle down everyone!" Mr. Simmons said waving his arms in the air. Everyone stopped talking, and looked up towards him and the others. "Ok then. I'm going to be introducing the counselors. I'm the counselor for the 2s." he said pointing to himself, and the woman with the orange hair and freckles walked over to him. "This is Luann Jared, but you can call her Ms. Jared, and she is the counselor to the 3s." Luann walked to the back of the bus, and sat down. The man walked up to Mr. Simmons. "This is Derek Morgan, or Mr. Morgan, and he is in charge of the 1s." Mr. Morgan walked over to one of the front seats. The woman with the brown curly hair and glasses walked over to Mr. Simmons. "And this is my sister, Karli Simmons, or Ms. Simmons, and she is in charge of the 4s." Karli walked over to the seat across from Helga and Phoebe, and sat down. Mr. Simmons also sat down.

Later that day, everyone was bored out of their minds. Krystle leaned forward to talk to Helga. "Are you bored too?" she asked, and Helga looked back at her.
"Doi! Of course I'm bored! I think everyone on this stinking bus is bored!" she retorted, angrily. Krystle leaned back, her hands up in defense.
"Crimany! I was just wondering." she grumbled, pulling a small traveling board game out of her pocket. She turned to Lila. 'Since I have nothing else to do.' she thought, rolling her eyes. "Hey, Lila? You want to play a board game?" she asked.
Lila looked up from her book. "I'm oh so sorry, Krystle but I'm ever so slightly busy right at the moment. Maybe after I finish this ever so interesting chapter." she said, looking back down at her book. Krystle sighed, and leaned back against her seat.
"Nothing to do. How fun is this!" she exclaimed, sarcastically. She stuffed the board game back into her jacket pocket, and leaned her head back so she could go to sleep.

That night, everyone was asleep. Some that had been playing card games were face down on the cards, some that had been reading (like Lila) were asleep with their face buried in the book, others were just sleeping normal (like Krystle).
All of a sudden, the bus jerked, walking some of the kids and adults up. Arnold sat up, and looked to the front of the bus. "What's going on Mr. Simmons?" he asked, blinking his eyes.
Mr. Simmons turned around, and put on a fake smile. "Nothing is going on Arnold, just go back to sleep." he said, turning back to the bus driver. His smile turned into a look of worry. "Is everything going to be alright?" he asked.
The bus driver looked up at him with a calm look. "Don't worry, as long as we stay on the road everything will be fine." he said in a monotone. Then, the bus swerved more, and went off the road. The bus driver looked up worriedly. "Ok, now everything is no longer fine! Everyone, PANIC!!!" he yelled, trying to get a hold of the bus.
Kids were thrown out of their seats, waking them up. "Hey! What's going on!?" Helga yelled, trying to get back up on her seat.
Mr. Simmons turned around to her with a panicked look. "We're about to crash! We might not survive, I hope you know." he said, turning back to the driver.
Helga began to cry hysterically. "We're going to die!!! I'm too young to die!! Oh, what a fiasco!!" she cried, holding her head in her hands. Phoebe stared down at her friend from the seat.
She sighed, and swatted the top of Helga's head. "Helga, calm down! Now would be the perfect time to tell 'ice cream' about your obsession with him." she said, pointing to Arnold who was looking out the window he was beside. Helga looked up at him, and stood up.
"You're right Pheebs." she said, and began to walk over to him.
Arnold stared out the window, and suddenly saw two lights. One green, and the other blue. He stared at them for a minute more, then looked up to Mr. Simmons who was panicking.
Helga was almost to Arnold. Just a few more steps, and she could tell him. But, before she could take those few more steps, the bus rammed into a old, old building, shattering the windows of the bus, the roof caved in, and that was the last thing anyone remembered...
