Arnold was running late for Ms. Frizzle's class one balmy morning. He rushed into the school building, panting with exasperation, not wanting to be late. It was embarrassing, and he didn't see himself as the kind of kid that showed up late to class. He was worried, sure, but he couldn't help but admit that there was a silver lining to all of this. If he was too late to class, than maybe he would miss out on one of Ms. Frizzle's crazy field trips. Even if deep down he enjoyed them, they were just too crazy for him most of the time, and he definitely wouldn't be upset if he got a break from a field trip for once.
In the meantime, Ms. Frizzle was taking the rest of the class into the magic school bus, ready to go off on a crazy learning adventure. She picked the perfect day to do this field trip, as having one student gone was exactly what she was hoping for. She ushered the rest of the children into the bus, shouting "Seatbelts everyone!" as she shrunk the bus down to microscopic size, then turned on some tv screens inside the bus, showing a view of the classroom. There was a bowl of round dark blue gumballs sitting on Arnold's desk. Ms. Frizzle then said, "Today we will be exploring the anatomy of a blueberry!"
Soon afterward, Arnold huffed and wheezed as he had finally made it to class. He saw that nobody was there, and said to himself "Huh, maybe I did miss it." and he looked around, seeing the bowl of blue gumballs on his desk. "Candy?" He said to himself in disbelief. He wasn't expecting any kind of gift like this, and there was no note or anything attached to it. He wondered if this was some kind of prank or trick, or maybe it genuinely was a gift meant for him, and he felt bad for being too late to properly receive it.
Deciding that it must be some kind of gift, and having nothing else to do, Arnold tried one. As soon as he bit into the gumball, he was immediately hit with a burst of blueberry flavor! "Wow, this is good!" Arnold said to himself as he continue to chew. He was unaware of the fact that a dark blue spot had formed on his nose, and was starting to spread across his face. His class watched in disbelief as Arnold's face started to turn blue, his hair going from orange to a lighter color of blue as even his hands started to turn blue!
Then, his abdomen started swelling up. At first, it just looked like he had a little pot belly, but soon, his shirt started lifting up, and his whole torso, back front and sides, started to round out along with his hips and butt. Arnold started to realize what was happening. He felt juice filling up his abdomen and causing him to bloat out as he looked at his hands, seeing that they were the exact dark blue of the candies. Even his fingernail beds were a lighter shade of blue. Knowing Ms. Frizzle, he figured this was her doing.
Now that he knew what was happening, Arnold...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
