SATIRE-APRIL FOOLS

The Beaucoup section went to the moon. Ms. Frizzle brought us there. Here’s what happened.

I appreciate Ms. Frizzle’s effort in bringing the Beaucoup section to the moon. As an avid galactic alien rights activist I always want to pioneer new ways in which we can make a safe space for aliens. 

It was surprising to see that there were in fact no aliens on the moon. I really thought there were aliens on the moon, it is made of cheese after all. They would have a lifetime supply of food. I decided to take the trip to the moon as some much needed personal vacation hours from my strenuous work of intergalactic peace. I didn’t need to bring my own space suit since Ms. Frizzle’s bus had everything we would ever need. 

I managed to find a nice crater to set down my picnic blanket on and eat my lunch. My sandwich kept floating away, but it was a relaxing vacation. Crazy how a high-tech, sentient and anthropomorphic school bus made in 1989 can take us to the moon and back in under 4 hours.

The field trip today with Mrs. Frizzle was probably the worst and most terrifying experience I was a part of in my life. I do not even know where to begin! I witnessed Arnold almost die several times because Mrs. Frizzle did not bother to explain some important things about space and let us just make the mistake first and then explain it to us. 

There is no amount of words to describe how horrible it is to do that. Especially when you are in space! This was not even the worst part. At one point Mrs. Frizzle just left us and had us go on some sort of mission to find her by solving some strange riddles leading us to the different parents.

Never in my life have I had such a huge panic attack. It is not that fun being lost in space without a teacher. Luckily we all seemed to make our way through without dying surprisingly. I never want to go on a field trip with Mrs. Frizzle again!

I would say today’s field trip with Ms. Frizzle wasn’t like any other, but then again, we’re always doing something wacky for class. Like when we all went back in time to the Cretaceous Period and Ms. Frizzle turned Arnold huge to scare off a T-Rex. 

Today’s field trip was just as ridiculously fun as we went to the moon! It was genuinely a blast and there were so many cool space rocks I kept trying to bring on the bus, like a crow that couldn’t resist taking something shiny.

Everything was going well and Ms. Frizzle was teaching us so much about space and the moon. And then it happened. The most dreadful and terrible thing. I was told I couldn’t bring all of my space rocks because it made the bus too heavy. It was truly a heartbreaking moment, worse than any of Carlos’s bad jokes. Luckily, I was still able to sneak one on the bus to keep as a memento.

Wow! This was my first time on the moon and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Miss Frizzle first said “seatbelts everyone” and explained the protocol. And then we shot up to the moon on her famous magic school bus. 

When we landed on the moon we were able to breathe without any help. According to Frizzle she has invented a device that lets us breathe the moon’s air.

We then met the man on the moon, a very nice fellow. He showed us around the moon city and then Sailor Moon made an appearance and I was star struck. I told her I am a big fan of her work.

The moon city had little green men walking around going about their daily lives. We walked around some more and took in some sights. I grabbed a moon rock (don’t tell anyone it’s our little secret). So long everyone!
