Chapter 16
Fairies are Cool!
2 days later Valerie was allowed to leave the infirmary. Nurse Ophelia gave her strict instruction that she had to keep her arm in a sling for a couple of days but that didn't worry her at least she was able to teach again. During her time in the infirmary she had plenty of time to think, she even wrote up lessons plans! Thanks to DA who provided her with some paper and pens. Ideas kept caming to her head for exciting new subjects to teach and field trips when she gets back in the classroom. Having an injury why not be so bad after all!
She found having her arm in a sling as challenging but that didn't stop her with carrying on with the day. After a freshen up back in her room and a catch up with Goldie who was very happy to see her, she met up with Keesha, DA, Phoebe and Wanda who were waiting for her in the corridor. All the portals and transportation devices were still currently out of action from the Trix's attack in order for them to return home. Head Mistress Faragonda was very kind to allow them to board at Alfea until everything is up and running again. Professor Paladium and Tecna were still working very hard to fix it.
As her classes didn't start till the next day, she wanted to spend the day with her ex-students. They decided to go out into the Courtyard for some air. She noticed when they were walking, she couldn't help notice them being very quiet so she decided to try and lighten the mood "So...how are you enjoying Alfea so far?" Valerie asks them, they all say that the place is amazing but could see why Valerie felt like the odd one out (non magical being).
Valerie completely undersood as she marched ahead with a smirk on her face leaving Keesha, Phoebe, DA and Wanda trail behind her "Follow me please!" she simply tells them. Without turning she heard the sound of Keesha's voice "Her earrings just lit up!", "You know what that means, she's up to something!" DA then says. They knew her too well, she did have a idea up her sleeve but wanted to wait for the right moment as she placed her hand on Bike who was again disguised as a pendant around her neck.
As they got closer to the entrance of the courtyard, she saw Daphne who was heading to class "Hi Valerie! How are you feeling? So good to see you up and well!" Daphne sweetly yells to her, "I'm feeling great Daphne! Thank you for asking!" Valerie happily answer back to the blonde professor. Daphne smiled as she rushed to teach a class.
Then the question she was waiting for arose "Can we see your fairy form again Professor Frizzle?" Wanda asks. Her earrings lit up again and she turned around and smile back at the group "Thought you would never ask!" she happily answers. They made it outside and found a wooden bench to sit on. The courtyard was deserted as the rest of the school were in classes.
Valerie remained standing like she was about to perform for them which in a way she was!. "Professor Frizzle, but what about your arm?" Phoebe asks in concern, Valerie assured her that everything was going to be ok before she placed her hand on her pendant.
Light began to appear around the pendant before she was ingolfed in a magical tornado which blinded Keesha, Phoebe, DA and Wanda causing them to squint and cover their eyes. "There! You can look now!" Valerie kindly asked them with a giggle as she noticed that they all still had their eyes covered. As they all uncovered their eyes, they gasped in amazement!
There was Valerie standing before them in her fairy form bearing her long green puffy fairy dress, ballet flats, magenta and mint green accessories and not forgetting her transparent glittery fairy wings. Her hair was still in its signature bun but now her broken arm was now in a glittery green sling. "Professor Frizzle, your so beautiful!" Phoebe commenting on her appearance, "Oh why thank you Phoebe!" Valerie answers with a giggle, "Never thought fairies would be so cool!" Valerie hears Wanda say. That gave her an idea!
Valerie then begins to hover using her wings "What if told you all that i can make you all become fairies too!" she says to him with a smile on her face. The eyes lit up on everyones face as they all got up from the bench.
Ever since they had known Valerie they knew, that when they were around her, mysterious things would happen without question. Particularly when the Magic School Bus in which she use to operate was around. There were rare times where they would ask to be transformed into something like a reptile or bees but there were others times where unwillingly they would suddenly be transformed into something else. Now they were in their teens they were prepared for anything.
"Are you saying we can become fairies too Professor Frizzle? DA asked in hope, "Yep! I can command Bike to give you all your own fairy transformations but they will only work if Bike is nearby. Its a work in progress!" Valerie happily explains. "Will we have powers and be able to fly like a real fairy?" Wanda asks, "YEP! I'm still discovering my powers but i'm guessing mine are to do with knowledge! I'm still learning too" Valerie answers to Wanda, "We can learn together!" Keesha excitedly points out.
"Well then! Let's take changes, make mistakes and get messy! Bike do your stuff" Valerie shouts in commend. The girls watched as 4 beams of light headed towards them. There was no time to back out now if they chose to run. Suddenly the beams of light created spotlights over them before ingolfing them in magical tornado like tubes and lifting them up into the air. Valerie watched in hope and excitement, hoping that the transformations will be successful! Trying hard not to squint as there was too much brightness.
Soon the magical lights disappeared and Valerie was able to unsquint her eyes. She was overjoyed when she saw 4 beautiful looking young looking fairies before her! "It worked, your all beautiful!" she excitedly screams to them. There was slience but lots of sparkle and looking at themsleves, Valerie thinks they might be in shock. "Girls?" she says as she lowered her voice in concern.
They all then look up towards Valerie still in slience until they all shout the word "WOW!" in amazement. "We're fairies!" Valerie heard Phoebe say in excitement, shortly followed by DA saying that this was amazing. "We've been Frizzled!" Keesha shouts (something she remembers their friend Tim use to say back in elementry school), "I heard that Keesha! Valerie answers her with a smirk on her face.
Valerie couldn't wait any longer "Let's break in those wings of yours! Time for your first flying lesson!" she kindly tells them while putting out her hand on her non broken arm. "Alright! Let's fly this is so cool!" Wanda shouts in joy as she takes Valerie's hand "Tell the others to grab a hand each!" Valerie instructs Wanda.
Wanda passes the word on and each girl grabbed each others hand. In this order Valerie, Wanda, Keesha, Phoebe and DA "Now feel yoursleves connect with your new wings as you lightly push yoursleves off the ground!" Valerie tells them. Each girl did as they were told and it wasn't long until each of them where now a meter off the ground.
Valerie smiles knowing that they were ready to start flying on their own. "Now let go of each others hands!" she yells to them "WHAT!" they all yelled. Valerie let go of Wanda's hand and remained hovering with her hand on her non-broken arm on her hip. Wanda, Phoebe, DA and Keesha all looked at each other as they glupped. Soon they all let go of each others hands slowly knowing that they always felt safe when Professor Frizzle was around.
