One day, after a long day of one of Ms. Frizzle's field trips, school ended.

And we all went home. I went home with the Friz.
But I wasn't her son, I wasn't adopted by her, and I'm not a relative to her.
In other words, I don't know why I lived with her, but that was how things were.

We arrived home in the Friz's magic school bus, I rushed upstairs to take a bath.
I finished, and ran back downstairs. Then I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.

After I fell asleep, it was Ms.Frizzle's turn to take a bath.
When she was finished, she went to lie down on her bed.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, Murph came in.
Friz was forced to get out of bed to greet her.

Murph:" Hey there, Friz! I've come to collect your recy-..."

Murph stopped her sentence. She was a bit surprised to see the Friz looking so tired and unhappy.

Murph:" Is everything alright?"
Friz:" I'm tired."
Murph:" I've never seen you THIS tired before. What happened?"
Friz:" I think I'm sick. I think I caught a cold."
Murph:" Caught a cold? You?! How?"
Friz:" Kids. They were acting crazy."
Murph:" How crazy?"
Friz:" Taking off their jackets in the middle of snow storm."
Murph:" Why would they do such a silly thing like that?"

The Friz said nothing. She looked up and stared at Murph.

Murph:"...Oh right. You want them to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy."
Friz:" it's the quickest way to learn."
Murph:" Well...It's Friday. Get some good rest. The Friz I know recovers faster than anyone."

The Friz let out a great big sigh.

"...You're sick..."

The two grown-ups was a bit startled when they heard me saying that.
They thought for sure that I was sleeping.
They were also a bit nervous about what I will think when they saw my sad and frightened expression.

Friz:" It's...It's nothing. Really."
Murph:" Yeah. Ms. Frizzle will be alright. You just wait and see!
Next time you see her in class, she'll be one happy teacher again!"
"Really?"
Friz:" Sounds impossible...But I'll manage."

Friz slowly walked into the living room, and laid down on the sofa where I slept.
And since the sofa was pretty big, I laid down beside her, and we both fell asleep.


Basically, nothing else happened after we fell asleep.
I just keep hearing Murph washing our dishes, cleaning Friz's room,
vacuuming the floors, doing the laundry, and finally, taking out the trash for us, and left.
