Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

Amish Paradise (Amish AU)

It was a bright and shiny Saturday morning as the students from the Rhythm Fusion Academy rode the bus down a dusty back street.

"No dumbass, that's not right!"

"What are you talking about? That's exactly right! You don't know what you're talking about."

"Excuse you. I know how to math!"

"Shut up Ashley, you don't know how to math."

Ashley took a deep breath and snapped her head in the direction of the one who disrespected her. "Hey Gacé," and she flipped him the bird. Gacé looked back at her with intense unblinking eyes and proceeded to flip her the bird in return.

"Oh my god! Can someone please help me with this homework!?" Steve exclaimed.

"No Steve. You should have done that at home. It's called HOMEwork." Colleen spit out her words like knives and sat back down.

"Here Steve, I got you," Paris said, grabbing his paper and writing down the answers. "I got the answers off the internet last night." They began to write the answers down. Steve watched and wondered why all the answers were 666 but didn't argue. He was just happy he didn't have to find the square root of fleek. And with that thought he looked out the window and dozed off with *The wheels on the bus playing in his head

"WHAT!?" Colleen shirked with laughter.

Steve jerked awake and looked down at his phone. Well that was a good two minutes, he thought.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, my family used to be Amish when I was really young. That's why we do the historical re-enactment," Ashley said, shifting her eyes over to Gacé, queuing him to join in.

"Yeah, totally. We lived in Ohio before this," Gacé even mustered up a single tear, "before we were shunned."

Colleen looked to Paris with her mouth open. "Really?" Paris looked over to Ashley with a smirk on their face. "Yeah man. Ashley used to be super weird. Like when we first met she had this accent and was into looming and shit."

"Why have I never heard this before?" Colleen said, laughing

"Well, we were shunned so we didn't want people to know and be ridiculed." Gacé turned around and sunk into his seat to hide his laughter, not believing how gullible Colleen could be.

"That's so wild," Colleen said, looking up at the sky.

The rest of the trip was spent chatting and throwing paper balls at one another.

"All right students," said their teacher, Miss JJ. "If you look to the right hand side, you'll see Amish Country. Please remember not to disrespect them. Feel free to ask questions and take pictures. Okay now, pick up your garbage and anything of value and we'll be on our way."

All the students did as they were told and began to file off the bus. Steve was the last one off, having to put away his headphones and homework. He wasn't thrilled about going to a place where he didn't have technology. He almost didn't come on the trip but thought maybe it would be good to learn about other cultures.

"Oh my God. What is that smell?" Colleen gagged, holding her nose.

"That's the manure. Hello children, my name is Father Castiel. I will be giving you the tour of our little world. Miss JJ, thank you so much for bringing your students."

"It was either this or a trip to the jail. This seemed better," said Miss JJ.

"Well fantastic. Let us begin."
