Chapter 21: Interdimensional Field Trip
It was Star's first Field Trip with her school and of course she decided to invite Luffy for such a thing. Miss Skullnick didn't care any more, she was already turned into a troll and knew that Luffy was invited to come, he was coming.
Also he didn't need a permission slip due to the fact that A. He wasn't a student and B. His legal guardians were tricky grey area.
But either way Luffy was going too.
On the bus ride there Star was excited. After all it was her first field trip.
She was literally screaming out the window.
"Seriously Star… there's nothing to be excited about." Said Marco.
"She's seeing more of this world." Said Luffy, "Of course she's excited."
Marco blinked, "you know it just feels wrong when you make sense." He said.
Luffy just laughed it off.
"Cork it Princess!" yelled Miss Skullnick.
That was when Star noticed an adorable kitten on Marco's phone.
"Aw! He's adorable I want to eat him up!" yelled Star.
"I hope Jackie loves it as much as you." Said Marco.
"Ooooh! Conversation starter!" said Star.
"Shh! She's right over there! She might here you!" muttered Marco.
"But she knows you're doing it right?" asked Luffy.
"I'm kind of sending them anonymously." Said Marco.
"Seriously Marco?" asked Star.
"It's better than spending years just nodding at her." Said Marco.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"adventure you weren't on." Said Star.
"Okay." Said Luffy.
"I can't handle more than just hello right now! That's why I let the kitten pics do the talking." Said Marco.
He sent the picture.
"Oh! I love it!" they heard Jackie gush.
Marco got a message back.
"She sent me a "LOL"! We're communicating." Said Marco.
That was when the bus stopped.
"We're here!" yelled Star.
They entered the location of the Field Trip.
A paper clip museum.
The one of the most boring field trips out there, second only to a box factory.
"Amazing! What is it?" asked Star.
"It's a paper clip." Muttered Marco, who then took out his phone, "Luckily I got my phone."
That was when Miss Skullnick took Marco's phone.
"No distractions Mr. Diaz! And for the rest of you" scolded Miss Skullnick as she took out a megaphone, "No Monkey business!"
She put down the Mega[hone and took out a paper clip.
"This is the Echo Creek Paper Clip Museum. We're going to spend the next several hours learning about this bent piece of wire!" she explained.
The students all complained about it.
Once again… second only to a box factory.
"Well you know what…" said Miss Skullnick then yelled through the megaphone, "Life is boring!"
"Life is supposed to be fun!" said Star.
"I used to think that way, but now I'm 50, my life is in the review mirror. The best thing in my life is teaching you kids! And I hate teaching you!" said Miss Skullnick.
"That's because you're doing it wrong!" said Star.
"And you think you can lead this better than me?" asked Miss Skullnick.
"I was born to lead latterly!" said Star.
"All right! Let's see! When you fail, we'll see these brats learn to appreciate ne when this fails." Said Miss Skullnick.
"All right! Who wants to go someplace fun!" said Star.
Everyone cheered.
"Let's go to the Morgue!" yelled Janna.
And so Star took the entire class through a portal on the bus.
"Welcome to the dimension of wonders and amazement!" said Star.
Everyone was in awe at how awesome it was and cheered as they left the bus.
"What is this place?" asked Marco.
"Oh just a planet filled with the most odd and unbelievable things in the universe." Said Star.
"No running! No horseplay!" yelled Miss Skullnick through the megaphone.
However Star just turned the megaphone into a cow like animal.
"You put me in charge, remember." Said Star, "And rule Number 1! There aren't any rules!"
"But no rules leads to anarchy! And unlike your brother, these kids are not going to be pirates!" said Miss Skullnick, "No offence."
Luffy just shrugged it off.
"When you give people the freedom to do what they want…" said Star stealing back Marco's phone.
"Cool! I get more bars than on Earth!" said Marco.
"They might just surprise you!" said Star, "Try to have fun you big ol' meanie!"
Miss Skullnick began to look around and she saw an exhibit on trolls.
And exhibit that would change her life for the better.
Star on the other hand was not having a good time… It started off fine.
But gradually it got worse as the various students did stuff that would get them hurt. Such as Francis getting stuck in an ominous vortex or Just trying to touch some that would very obviously electrocute him or Sabrina falling down the stairs of a 3-D Maze.
She was getting really stressed out.
Also Ferguson and Alfonzo ended up merging into a two-headed centaur thing…
IT wasn't that bad until they slipped and fell into the terrarium of the universe's deadliest creature.
Luffy looked around, he had been there plenty of times so it didn't really interest him that much.
"Let me guess you been here plenty of times." Said Janna noticing his somewhat boredom.
Yeah." Said Luffy.
"Makes sense." Said Janna with a shrug.
That was when both of them got a bad feeling.
That was when a piece of yarn snakes around them.
"You learned how to fight?" asked Luffy.
Janna's hands glowed.
"I can learn quickly." Said Janna.
Luffy smiled when she said that.
The piece of yarn snaked around.
However Janna gave it a blast magic making sure it didn't attack the rubber boy.
IT then reformed into a scorpion shape and hissed at them.
"Yes!" cheered Luffy, "Gum Gum Pistol!"
However rearranged its body so that Luffy would punch through it. Then it reformed around Luffy arm.
"Uh-oh!" he said.
However Janna's hands glowed even brighter as the yarn monster froze.
Luffy also managed to free himself.
"Gum Gum Gatling!" called out Luffy.
He did his rapid fire punch knocking the yarn creature back hard. It recovered and hissed at them. It turned back to a single string and slithered away leaving a trial of blue socks.
"That was the deadliest creature in the universe." Said Luffy becoming serious.
"Yeah… I can see why it is now." Said Janna.
"We have to tell Star!" said Luffy.
"Three on one is better." Said Janna nodding.
However thanks to fighting back Janna and Luffy were the only ones not taken as it didn't go after Star or Marco for some reason, it did go after the other students.
"Star!" called out Luffy when he saw.
"Luffy!" cried Star hugging her brother.
"Hey! Can any of you tell me what does HELP mean?" asked Marco showing a text he got Jackie.
The other three looked at each other.
"Not it!" said Janna and Star quickly as possible.
"I think she's asking for help." Pointed out Luffy.
"Oh… OH! oh…" he said in realization.
Miss Skullnick was also fine and they were telling her what happened. And as they did she put on some troll battle armor that was on display.
"So anyways a dangerous monster got them and thanks to Jackie's text we can confirmed they were taken." Said Star, "But you don't have to fight, me, Marco and Luffy fight smothers all the time and Janna has magic now so she can help."
"I trusted you with the class for five minutes and now you lost them." Said Miss Skullnick.
"We didn't' lose them! We just can't find them." Said Star.
"Smooth…" said Janna.
That was when Marco got another text from Jackie, this time showing a picture on where they were showing some of the students stuck in giant socks and with a trail of socks.
"They're here… where ever that is." Said Marco.
"I remember seeing a trail of socks right after they disappeared." Said Star.
"Then that's where I'm looking." Said Miss Skullnick.
They found the trail of socks and found them in the World's Coziest Prehistoric Cave, all of them trapped in giant socks.
The four teens went up to free them students while Miss Skullnick caught them.
"Marco!" cheered Jackie happily when she saw Marco.
"Hey… uh… hey… uh… uh…" struggled Marco.
"How about you save Sabrina and I save Jackie." Said Star.
However the sock that Sabrina was in ripped open and she fell out.
"I'm okay!" she called out.
They all jumped down from the mantle as they heard whistling, they saw the yarn monster in its scorpion like form. The students all screamed as they saw it and ran away. Expect for of course Star, Marco, Luffy and Janna.
"All right String Monster!" yelled Star getting her wand ready.
"No! I'm back in charge! And you go protect the students!" yelled miss Skullnick.
She grabbed a huge rock and tossed it amazing most of the group.
"What did I say! GO! GO! GO!" yelled Miss Skullnick.
The four of them left while the troll teacher fought off the yarn monster.
Star got most of the students onto the bus.
Star watched as her teach had some awesome moves with a battle axe.
"Wow! Skullnick got some moves." Said Star.
"You better your tuckus I do!" said Miss Skullnick.
However the monster ate her.
Star got her wand ready while Janna created some yearn like tendrils to fight back.
However Miss Skullnick pulled a chest buster on it tying some string to a paper clip.
"Get that bus moving!" yelled Miss Skullnick.
Janna got rid of the tendrils as the four got on the bus, which drove away with the door opened so that Miss Skullnick could enter once she caught up. She attached the paper clip to the Universe's most immovable post and got on to the bus thanks to Luffy's help.
"That's how you do it!" cheered Miss Skullnick.
The students all cheered.
"Hey! Is this seat taken." Said Jackie to Marco.
Marco looked at Star who gave the thumbs up.
"Hey Janna you okay? You looking a little green." Said Luffy.
Janna blinked.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" said Janna.
Star looked up and saw that Janna's cheeks were green.
"WHAT!" she yelled, "How! HOW!"
"Star what is it?" asked Luffy.
"Janna's developing cheek marks." Said Star.
Janna looked in the mirror.
"Huh… so I am." Said Janna.
"Only members of the Butterfly family has cheek marks! Not just queens mind you. My aunt Etheria and one of my baby cousins have cheek marks but still!" cried Star.
"It's going to be fine!" said Luffy, "It's pretty cool."
"What am I going to do when mom finds out." Groaned Star.
"Blame Glossaryck." Replied Janna with a shrug.
"Uh…" said Star.
"He did let her read the chapter." Said Luffy.
"Good point." Sighed star.
And so it was a pretty eventful field trip, Star learned that being a leader was a hard, Miss Skullnick learned how awesome it is to be a troll (living for centuries, having super strength), Marco got closer to his crush and Janna started started to gain cheek marks. So yeah… pretty eventful over all…
Next Time: Marco wants to grow a beard, Star helps him despite his protests. However the beard grows out of control engulfing the house. What's worse is that her wand is trapped in the house... now she, Luffy and Ace must go through the house to find Marco, get the wand back... while Ace helps Star rediscover a certain spark she had after she gained her wand. What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Janna is slowly devolving cheek marks, no suggestions I already have them in mind...
