Fun with Field Trips

"Shadow, Shadow!"

Shadow was being shook to pieces. Rondana shook harder, her face pale.

"Griffey got out!" She shouted, tears running down her face. Shadow rolled out of bed, onto the floor in shock.

"What?!"

"I saw him walk out of the room, so I ran after him but he was too fast!"

Shadow grabbed her robe from the edge of her bed, running towards the door.

"I need three feeet of rope, a hunk of raw meat and your help" She listed. Rondana looked throughly disgusted.

"Raw meat?"

"Either that, or the last known griffin to Atmos is going to run amok in the school"

Later, the two girls crept into the cafeteria, rope thrown over Shadow's shoulder. Rondana looked sick when Shadow dragged a steak out of the fridge and tied it to the end of the rope. She placed the meat at the end of the hall, trailed the rope to the end of the hall and around a corner.

"When Griffey sees the meat, he won't be able to resist, so he'll try to snatch it. I'll drag him down the hall and you tackle him. Kay?" Shadow instructed.

"Suuuuure..." Rondana muttered.

(Several minutes later)

After several unsuccessful minutes, Shadow felt something tug the end of the meat. Exitedly, she waved at Rondana, who prepared to grab what they hoped was Griffey. It wasn't.

What the hell are you doing!!! Shouted a very surprised Snowdrop. Shadow and Rondana exchanged glances.

"Snowdrop? Where on earth did you get to?" Called what sounded like Ari. Rondana scampered out her hiding spot.

"Abort, abort!"

"Miss Shadow, I am very disappointed in you" Mr Speare said when Shadow zonked out in class. It was very hard not too, in her defense! His voice was like bees buzzing in his nose.

"Um, I couldn't sleep" She lied. Instead, she had been up all night searching the hallways for a believed to be extinct series that she smuggled around the school building without harm until now.

"Is that all you can say for yourself? You and Lee are both bad at staying awake in my class" Mr Speare said, his nose buzzing annoyingly.

"I guess so?" Shadow muttered. Mr Speare gave up and walked back to the front. Shadow zonked out, her head slamming onto the desk.

"Nice job genius!" Dawne commented as they shuffled into the art room. Once again, Shadow was reminded how nasty irony would be if it was a person. Trayos smiled again. Instead of freaking out, Shadow smiled back. And she wanted to smack herself for it. Miss D exitedly rapped her desk, and the chatter in the class dimmed.

"Today, I have been given special news!" Miss D beamed. The students murmered slightly.

"Is Lee going to move?!" Someone whispered. Miss D shot him a dark look.

"How is that exciting? Anyway, the school has allowed me to take you all on a field trip to Terra Neon because you all worked so hard!" Miss D said proudly. The class cheered, including Shadow. Then she did the most retarded thing ever. She hugged whoever she could in her exitement, which just so happened to be Trayos. The class went dead silent as Shadow stopped hugging Trayos.

"Uuuuuuuuuh..." Shadow stood there, stuck between horror and shock. Trayos shrugged. Miss D beamed again, a cheeky grin spreading on her face. Shadow turned that unearthly shade of scarlett again. Irony was the most evil thing in the world.

Irony does suck, doesn't it? Poor, poor Shadow. Griffey is running around the school, she just hugged Trayos and now Miss D is ready to go nutz with a field trip to Terra Neon. Anybody having a worse time than her. Because if you are, you win a million bucks!
