Setting 1 Mr. Elliot's Classroom
All of the children were in class waiting for the school bell to ring. Well everybody was in class except for Paige she was running a little late.
-Paige- (She ran into the room and to her seat.) Hey Amethyst. I'm so excited about our sleepover party tonight. I still can't believe that my parents are letting everybody from our mission come over to our house. It was not easy to convince them, but with a little persuasion from both Will and I we did it.
-Amethyst- Yah Paige about the party all of us you know what can't come.
-Paige- Why not?
-Shadow- Well our leaders called us last night and said they needed to have a meeting with us.
-Amethyst- And we can't say no to them. Sorry Paige.
-Paige- Oh that's o.k. has Rachel told Will yet?
-Shadow- She is doing it as we speak. (Paige looked very sad.)
-Amethyst- Cheer up Paige I'm sure you'll still have a fun time without us.
-Paige- Maybe, but it won't be the same.
-Mr. Elliot- (Just then Mr. Elliot walked in. He was caring a big container with fabric in it. As he talked he began to gather up some buttons, yarn, markers, and glue and put them on his desk.) Good morning class I hope you're all ready for another great day of learning. First of all I have some bad news. Because, the Skool is still having some repairs done today and tomorrow will be half days. I know you all must hate this, but I do have some good news. First we have a new student joining us today. His name is Jason Fang. Come on in Jason.
-Jason- (He walked into the room with his coat now around his waist.)
-Mr. Elliot- Well don't be shy Jason why don't you tell the class a little about yourself?
-Jason- Do I have to? I mean… in high sight there's not much to tell. This is my first day at a Skool and Well I just want to survive that's all.
-Kids- (All of the kids started laughing.)
-Mr. Elliot- Alright settle down now class. Don't worry Jason I'm sure you'll do fine here. Now take your seat next to Paige. (Jason sat down next to Paige.) Now that the introductions are out of the way class I have another wonderful announcement I have a new two day project for you all called Husband, Wife and Child.
-Meef- HUSBAND AND WIFE! MR. ELLIOT CAN I BE PAIRED WITH AMETHYST PLEASE!
-Amethyst- No please Mr. Elliot anything, but that.
-Mr. Elliot- Calm down, you two! Your partners are already sitting next to you.
-Amethyst- So I get paired with Shadow and Meef get's paired with that stupid human beside him? Thank Irk.
-Mr. Elliot- Yes, but I'd ask you to refrain from calling your classmate's names.
-Amethyst- That's your opinion. But ok sorry.
-Meef- No! Mr. Elliot, look I'm beside Amethyst. (He said running in between Shadow and Amethyst.)
-Amethyst- No get back in your seat you foolish human.
-Mr. Elliot- Amethyst is right Meef, but that's a sad tortellini. (He walks over to a bucket, and sends a 'Sad tortellini' next to Amethyst's name on the 'Good Noodle' chart. It is one of many)
-Meef- But I don't wanna… (He started crying a little then Miss Walrus marched into the room wheeling a big container in front of her.)
-Miss. Walrus- SHUT UP KID! Grow some backbone. In the adult world we all have to deal with disappointment!
-Mr. Elliot- Now Miss. Walrus I told you to wait outside until I called you in.
-Miss. Walrus- Of forget that Mr. Elliot these kids need to learn the harsh truth sooner or later. And I brought you your stupid flour sacks and baby carriers.
-Mr. Elliot- Wonderful! Now class here is your assignment sheets. (He said as he went to each group and gave them a piece of paper.) They'll answer all of your questions about this project.
-Miss. Walrus- Move faster than that Mr. Elliot. Left left left right left. (The more she said those words the faster Mr. Elliot walked until finally he was done giving all the students their papers.)
-Mr. Elliot- (He was a tad madder than usual when he got done walking like hell.) Listen Mrs. Walrus I don't mean to be cross, but your military talk is disturbing the children and I...
-Mrs. Walrus- War is a part of the real world, Mr. Elliot. Just like disappointment. Now kids here are your flour sacks/babies. (She said as she began to go down the row and give each group a flour sack and a front carrier.)
-Mr. Elliot- You have to make them look like real children using the supplies on my desk and the fabric I brought in today for their clothes.
-Mrs. Walrus- Your first assignment is to use your wit to fix the holes in your baby. (She said and sure enough every single one of the flour sacks had holes in them.)
-Mr. Elliot- Ah Mrs. Walrus since when did that become a part of the assignment?
-Mrs. Walrus- Since my dog decided to make it apart of the assignment.
-Mr. Elliot- O.k.
-Amethyst- (Mrs. Walrus put a flour sack on her desk and the flour went all over her face.)
-Mr. Elliot- Sorry Amethyst let me help you get that off. (He grabbed a tissue and began to clean her face.) Huh Amethyst you have white spots all over your face.
-Amethyst- Well duh, that disgusting earth flour is all over me.
-Paige- No Amethyst look. (She said showing Amethyst her reflection in her powder compact and sure enough there were little white spots all over Amethyst's face.)
-Amethyst- Oh shoot! I mean I have allergies to flour.
-Mr. Elliot- Oh no I had better take you to the nurse.
-Shadow and Amethyst- Nurse…
-Shadow- (He got in front of Mr. Elliot.) No Mr. Elliot that won't be necessary. This allergy is not that serious.
-Meef-(He stood up and started poking at Shadow.) What are you saying Shadow? Amethyst is sick. We must do everything we can to make her better.
-Shadow- Shh… Meef you're only making things worse… (As he tried to calm Meef down he slipped on the flour on the floor and fell down. And if things weren't bad enough already his hat fell off. Shadow quickly grabbed it and put it back on.)
-Meef- Shadow did I just see…
-Amethyst- (She got in between Meef and Shadow.) No Meef you saw nothing and… (She began to start pretending to have problems with her "heart".) Oh my heart. I see a bright light. Please Mr. Elliot take me to the nurse and have her look up my allergies and find a cure before… Ahh… (She pretended to faint in Mr. Elliot's arms.)
-Shadow- (He whispered to her.) I think you over did it babe.
-Amethyst- (She whispered back.) Shh… call Kierra she knows what to do.
-Shadow- Already on it. (He said as he began to contact Kierra on his watch.)
-Mr. Elliot- Come on Shadow we must take Amethyst to the nurse. Mrs. Walrus you're in charge while I'm gone. Heaven help you all. Bye. (He ran out the door holding Amethyst with Shadow close behind.)
-Meef- But, I wanna come too.
-Mrs. Walrus- Well you don't get to now sit down all of you! And get to work on your projects and no helping the other families you must learn that in the adult world you are all alone. (All of the students went to work and Mrs. Walrus took out a magazine and began to read it.)
-Jason- O.k. that was weird.
-Paige- Trust me, for this Skool that was normal.
-Jason- Hahaha… Oh you're serious?
-Paige- Yep. Well it is nice seeing you again Jason. Now we can find out more about each other. So why did you move here?
-Jason- There were complications.
-Paige- Let me guess they had something to do with your dad.
-Jason- You could say that. How did you know?
-Paige- Well my family used to move all over the world because of my dad's job. But, now that he has a permit job with Professor Membrane we stopped.
-Jason- Do you like it here?
-Paige- Yeah. You?
-Jason- Well I haven't been here for long, but I guess I could grow to like it. (Paige blushed a little.)
-Paige- So let's get started. Man how are we going to fix this hole?
-Jason- Well I could sow it.
-Paige- Hahahaha… Oh you were serious.
-Jason- Yah.
-Paige- Sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
-Jason- Don't worry I'm used to feeling uncomfortable. Anyway I'll get started. (He took out his sowing equipment and began to repair the flour sack.)
-Paige- Yah and I'll go get some yarn, buttons, and markers. (She got up and grabbed the stuff. As she walked up to get the stuff she said stupid stupid over and over again in her head. Then after she got the supplies she went back to her seat.)
-Jason- So I noticed that the girl and the boy that left were at the party where I met you. I thought her green skin was part of her costume.
-Paige- No, it is her real skin- it is a Skin condition. Her name is Amethyst and the boy is, Shadow, her boyfriend.
-Jason- Who has doggy ears.
-Paige- What? You must have imagined that statistics show that stress leads to imaging things that aren't really there.
-Jason- Wow, you don't get all statistical it was just an observation of the genius level. Hahahaha…
-Paige- Hahahaha… Why are we laughing?
-Jason- I don't know the tension of the moment I guess. Anyway the hole is gone. (He said as he showed Paige his repair job.) So I'll go get some fabric for the outfit. You don't mind if our child is a girl right?
-Paige- No I kind of wanted a girl anyway.
-Jason- Cool and before you ask or laugh, yes I know how to make clothes too.
-Paige- Haha… Sorry that one kind of slipped out.
-Jason- I did that on purpose. I like your laugh.
-Paige- I like you.
-Jason- Me too. (He said as he got up and left and then he came back after he got the fabric he needed. When he got back he began to work on making a dress while Paige worked on the face.)
-Paige- So Jason I noticed on this sheet it says that we have to have a sleepover on both nights.
-Jason- We have to what? Let me see that. (He whispered) Hoo-Lan why I was liking this project because I got to hang out with Paige but my house no... (He said as he grabbed the sheet from Paige and looked to see if she was telling the truth and sure enough she was.)
-Paige- Why is that a problem I thought you liked me?
-Jason- I do, but we're not done unpacking yet and my dad and… (He said in a kind of freaked out and angry way.)
-Paige- O.k. calm down Jason how about this I'll go over to your house tomorrow and you come over to my house tonight. You don't have to get all angry on me.
-Jason- Sorry sometimes I get that way. I like your idea though. (He went back to work on the dress.)
-Paige- Good there's just one little problem tonight I was going to have a sleepover, but a big percentage of my friends had family stuff they had to deal with and…
-Jason- Wait, how is that a problem?
-Paige- Well besides you and me, Will and my baby sister and my brother's best friend Dib and his girlfriend Gretchen will be there.
-Jason- Oh that's a lot of people, but I already met Dib.
-Paige- You did when?
-Jason- This morning he was running from his sister after he accidently spilled some water all over her and her game slave.
-Paige- Hahahaha… that sounds like something Gaz would do.
-Jason- Yah well tonight should be an interesting night.
-Paige- Yep so what should we name our kid?
-Jason- How about Rose it matches your shirt?
-Paige- Good idea. (She wrote the name down on the sheet under kid's name.) You know I love plants. I wanna be a Herbalist when I grow up.
-Jason- You do?
-Paige- Yah. What about you?
-Jason- I don't know yet.
-Paige- Oh, so you're not gonna work at a blood bank?
-Jason- No, why do you ask that?
-Paige- Your shirt.
-Jason- Oh no my dad works at a blood bank. He gave me this shirt.
-Paige- Oh. I thought your dad worked at a summer camp.
-Jason- Oh no that was a lie. My dad's a Registered Nurse with the Red Cross and my mom is a doctor. Anyway- I'm done making the dress. How's the face coming?
-Paige- It's ready to go.
-Jason- Good then I'll put on the dress. (He put the dress on.)
-Paige- Aww, our baby looks so cute.
-Jason- Yep here you go. (He said putting the baby in the carrier and giving it to Paige.)
-Paige- Why are you giving me this?
-Jason- Because it says that the mother has to take care of the baby for the first day and then it is the father's turn.
-Paige- Oh I guess that makes sense. (She said as she put the baby carrier on.)
-Jason- Yep and… (The lunch bell rang.) that's the bell so I guess I had better go call my mom and tell her the news that I have a sleepover to go to. (He grabbed his stuff.)
-Paige- O.k. I'll see you in the lunch room.
-Jason- Sure. (He walked out of the room and then he took out his cell phone and called his mom and said…) Mom, we have a problem.
-Me- Well I hope you all liked this and until next time I leave you all with these very ZIM WILL LIVE FOREVER!
