Hey everybody! Thanks so much for the reviews! You guys rock! What will happen to pee-wee Chris today? Let's read and find out:
6:00 a.m. the next morning, Chris was ecstatic and somewhat frightened of his first day of school. He was ecstatic because he liked school, but frightened because he had to ride a school bus. If both his parents didn't have to go to work, then they could just drive him to school. Maybe I could drive the car to school, so I don't have to take that dumb bus, Chris thought. Just then, he saw his dad's car keys on the kitchen table. "Jackpot," Chris said with an evil smile. He ran up and grabbed the keys and ran up to his dad's car that was parked outside of the garage. He quickly looked for the car key, opened the door and sat down, and somehow started the ignition. He started looking at the car's controls. "Which button drives the car?" Before he could find it, his dad ran outside and stopped his son. He opened the door up.
"What are you doing, kid?" he started. "You could've blown the car up including yourself!" Chris gave him a happy and excited look.
"Really?" Chris started. "That'd be awesome! Let me blow the car up!" Mr. McClean then lifted his son out of the car.
"Oh no," he started, putting his son down. "You're not driving 'till you're 40, or at least a long time. But get yourself dressed because you're gonna take the bus to school."
"Aww, man!" Chris said walking into the house. Mr. McClean just rolled his eyes at his adventurous son.
When Mr. McClean and Chris reached the bus stop, they said they're good-byes.
"You know you're taking the bus home too, right?" Chris just had a disappointed look.
"Yeah, I guess," he said. After he said this, a small school bus pulled up. The two hugged and said their "good-byes" and Chris got onto the bus and took a seat in the middle of the bus. He waved to his father as the bus drove off.
While on the bus, Chris noticed something very scary. He saw the pale, fat boy that he encountered in his classroom the first day sitting three seats ahead of him. Chris tried to hide from him, but a 5-year old girl with glasses, blue tank dress with a white shirt underneath, and red hair with blue ribbons tying the hair up in pigtails from the seat in front of him greeted him.
"Hey there!" she said to him. "My name's Penelope! Are you in kindergarten too?"
"Uhhh, yeah," Chris said freaked out. "My name's Chris and I....." Penelope cut him off.
"Hi there, Chris!" He waved to her with a shy smile. "Hey, do you know what 2+4 is?" She asked him in a sophisticated tone.
"Uhhh...." Chris said. Penelope cut him off.
"It's 6!" she started. "I know people don't learn that in kindergarten, but I'm like a child prodigy. I'm intelligent and I have good enthusiasm! That's because my parents taught me alot of academics before I even entered school!" She smiled happily. Chris didn't understand a word she was saying.
"Wow," he started. "I didn't understand a word you said." As he said this, the pale, fat boy cut in.
"That's because you're just a dumb shrimp!" he said. "People should call you "Shrimp" instead of your real name." Penelope glared at the boy.
"Hey!" she started. "His name's not "Shrimp", his name is Chris! Wouldn't you feel bad if someone called you a "fat piece of chalk"?"
"No," he said. "That's because my name is Ron, you dumb nerd girl!" She just glared at him, while Chris was lying low and staying out of the fight. They both stuck their tongues out at each other and ignored each other for the rest of the bus ride.
"Wow, you told him off," Chris told Penelope. "That was awesome!"
"Thanks!" she said, smiling at him. After she said this, the school bus stopped at the school and the kids were getting off. Penelope said her good-byes to him.
"Well, hope to see you soon!" she said walking off the bus. Maybe the school bus won't be so bad after all, Chris thought. She could protect me from that Ron dude! Awesome!
At recess that day, Chris and Haychet were playing on the slide.
"You know something?" Hatchet said. "Mrs. Pine is even meaner than I thought!"
"Yeah, I know!" Chris agreed. "How could she make us say all those weird letters backwards when we just learned them today and she yells at us for it?" Hatchet just nodded his head.
"I wish I knew." he said. Just then, Chris notices Penelope playing on the swings. He proceeds to hide under the slide. Hatchet went under there with him.
"What'cha hiding for?"
"I don't want that girl to find me. She's been following me all day!" Chris points to the girl while saying this. Hatchet looked scared as he saw the girl.
"Hmmm, I would watch out if I were you," Hatchet warned his friend. "I heard girls have cooties!"
"What are cooties?" Chris asked with a curious look.
"Cooties are these germ things you get when you touch a girl! I heard if you get 'em, everyone stays away from you and people call you a "girl-lover"!" Chris somewhat smiled at this.
"I wonder if we got 'em too?" Chris started looking at his bluish shirt, tan pants, and even in his hair. "No cooties on me!"
"Me neither!" Hatchet said in a relieved voice. Well, Chris thought, I'll have to make sure that girl doesn't touch me! I don't want cooties!
Later when Chris got home, he was in his room playing with a Captain Crust action figure. He decided he was going to spare this doll and keep it from blowing up and pulling his pieces apart. "I wanna play with another one now!" Chris started towards his closet and grabbed another Captain Crust doll. Before he could walk towards his bed, someone was in front of him.
"HI CHRIS!!!" It was Penelope! Chris screamed and backed away from her. Oh no, Chris thought, I'm gonna get those icky cooties! NOOO!
Well, what a chappie, huh? In chappie 5, how will Chris Jr. react to Penelope being in his room? Will he throw her out the window? Will he get the terrible, awful cooties?!?! These questions will be answered in the next chappie! :D :D :D
