Big Time Bus

To the moon

With the last three remainings, Arnold sat at the wheel and began to start the bus. Arnold confused and panicking managed to turn the bus into a rocket by mashing the controls. in his haste, he turned on the auto pilot. As the bus took off, Arnold sunk into his chair. As the event began to settle down he started to explain himself. "I mean I had to right!?!........ He was just going to kill the rest of us when he got the chance right!?!?" The bus was quiet. Carlos didn't want to even answer Arnold and Tim was still sketching away. Arnold kept looking back and forth for some closure or some sort of comfort. The silence began to eat away at him as they refused to comfort Arnold. The bus making it to the vacuum of space didn't help matters as the cold distance it provided only accentuated his own loneliness. This sparked a bit of anger in Arnold and he began to rant "Why are you looking away from me like that!?!? Don't you think I had a hard day too?!? We were supposed to just have an easy day and watch a movie or something. Not lose our fellow classmates and be scared for our lives!" Again no answer. This angered Arnold even more as he lashes out "Why are you all being so cold!!!?? You are treating Gustavo like he was some nice guy and not some crazed murderer!!! Are you guys defending seriously defending some crazy murderer you just met today?!?!" Tim plainly answering " To be fair you killed just as many people as Gustavo did today." Pissed off " ALL I DID WAS PUSH HIM!!! I didn't mean......... It wasn't my fault about Keesha and Phoebe......" Tim smugly "Three for three." Arnold swinging his head back toward Tim "Oh shut UP!!!......." Arnolds face dropped. He saw out on the back window outside the bus Gustavo clinging to the bus. Arnold went pale and started to stammer as he broke into a cold sweat. "N..nno.....no.... it can't be." Arnold began to tear up as the others looked back. Gustavo turned the handle on the hatch and pulled himself in. Gustavo was slightly burnt with the most damaged thing on him being his clothes. Gustavo with a cocky walk made his way to the front of the bus. "You finally showed some balls for once Arnold but that won't be enough!!! You think a volcano and the vacuum of space would get me!? I am Gustavo Rocque! I got 27 platinum records and I am the biggest name in music!" Arnold now weak in the knees used a nearby seat to stay standing as Gustavo approached Arnold while reaching into his coat. He produced a snack cake and threw it at Arnold's head. "Good work You finally showed some guts for once and we made it to space. Well as for our next stop..." Arnold started screaming "NO I KILLED YOU!!! I!! KILLED!!! YOU!!! HOW CAN YOU BE HERE!!!??? HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW!?!?!? AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE US!! SOMEWHERE TO KILL US TOO!!!! NOT THIS TIME! not....this......TIME!!!!" Arnold reached behind the front seat for Ms. Frizzle's emergency pipe wrench that she kept just in case and began to swing it franticly. Each blow that Arnold landed didn't seem to bother Gustavo. In fact, his disposition showed more confusion than anything else. Gustavo turned toward Carlos "Did you give the baby his juice like I told you?? You know how cranky he gets." Carlos shrugged. Gustavo sighed and turned toward Arnold apathetically. "Arnold hand back the pipe wrench it's not yours and you could get yourself hurt." This made Arnold swing it more franticly "NO!! I won't give it to a psycho like you!" While swinging his arm back he managed to hit the door button on the bus. Arnold began to shriek as he was pulled into space with his head exploding from the decompression. Gustavo closed the bus door and with confusion "I was just going to take you all for ice cream? What got into him?" Carlos shrugged again " I don't know Gustavo Arnold never seemed to have a good head on his shoulders?" Everyone broke out into an insane fit of laughter before returning to Earth for ice cream and back to the school. When the bus doors opened Ms. Frizzle was standing out there. When Gustavo got out he handed her the keys back she asked "How was the group this year Gustavo?" Gustavo frankly "Wasn't a strong group this year but you got star potential for these two. I think I'll have Carlos you get Tim." Frizzle just nodded her head. As Carlos walked with Gustavo Carlos asked " So what was all that about?" Gustavo in a kind manner " Every year I take Ms. Frizzle's class out for a dangerous field trip. If they make it through they make it big time in any field they want courtesy of my financing. In return, the student with the most star potential becomes my next protege, and Carlos you got some star potential. Are you ready to make it big time?" Carlos following Gustavo "Well if you wanted another star you could of just asked." They both laughed as they walked off to Gustavo's limo.
