MISS APPLEBY
Page Two
Miss Appleby is passing back tests to her students. Bulk tosses his test away. Skull takes his and crumbles it up and tosses it on the floor. Miss Appleby apologies to Billy as she gives him back his test. Billy doesn't believe it, he got a B. The bell rings and students gather their stuff and head out. Miss Appleby reminds them, only those with top grades will be invited to join the Young Scientists of America club. Tomorrow is the final test. So study!
Miss Appleby walks around the corner just as Bulk kicks a soccer ball. Tommy, Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack all duck out of the way. The ball flies past Miss Appleby, startling her, and causing her to drop her papers. The ball hits a wall, knocks down an award and then heads straight down the hall again. Tommy leaps out of the way, slamming his hand and communicator against the wall. Jason, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and Zack back up against the lockers. The ball hits Bulk in the chest and then bounces into Zack's hands. Bulk slides to the floor as Zack tells him, someone could have gotten hurt. Kimberly, Zack, Jason, Trini, and Billy walk over to help Miss Appleby. Tommy checks his communicator. Bulk yanks Skull out of the locker and yells at him, you were suppose to catch it. Miss Appleby tells them they both have detention after school. Kimberly notices Tommy's look of concern and asks if he is alright? Tommy replies, I'm fine. Bulk struggles to get up and then yanks Skull to his feet. They both stumble towards Miss Appleby's classroom. Tommy waits for them to pass by before entering. A few moments later, class begins. Tommy is sitting in Miss Appleby's classroom. Bulk and Skull are sitting behind him. Miss Appleby is standing in front of the chalkboard as she talks to the class. Today we're going to talk about the theory of the survival of the fittest. Tommy's communicator goes off. Tommy quickly covers it up with his hand. Miss Appleby asks Tommy to please turn off his pager. It takes Tommy a moment to realize Miss Appleby is actually referring to his communicator as a pager and makes a show of turning it off. Miss Appleby goes back to the chalkboard, but before she can start writing, the communicator goes off again. Bulk and Skull make a show of being bothered by the "pager" as Miss Appleby warns Tommy that she is not going to tell him again. Tommy, once more, acts like he is turning off his "pager". Within seconds the communicator goes off again. Miss Appleby asks Tommy to give her the pager. Bulk and Skull are amused as Tommy is stunned - what? Miss Appleby tells him, we can't have your friends beeping you in class. Tommy protests as Bulk and Skull make mocking faces behind him. Miss Appleby tells him, hand it over now. Tommy reluctantly gets up, and Bulk puts his shoe on Tommy's desk, and walks over to Miss Appleby. Tommy gives Miss Appleby his communicator. Miss Appleby places in a drawer filled with various items in her desk. Miss Appleby asks the class, now where were we as Tommy stands awkwardly in front of the class. After school, Tommy stands behind Miss Appleby's desk debating whether he should just go ahead and take his communicator back. He makes several moves towards the drawer, but can't quite bring himself to open it. Miss Appleby walks in and is shocked when she sees Tommy reaching for the desk drawer. With big grins and nudging, Bulk and Skull (who are serving detention in the classroom) enjoy the confrontation between Miss Appleby and Tommy. Tommy asks Miss Appleby if she would consider returning his "pager". Please. After some thought, Miss Appleby gives back Tommy his "pager".
In the halls of Angel Grove High School, Jason is yelling at Tommy - man, you're the one who shows off! Bulk suggests to Skull that they have a little fun. With wicked grins, Bulk and Skull head over. Jason threatens Tommy, you better stay out of my way! Trini calmly suggests they sit down and talk about this. I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding. Bulk gets behind Jason and suggests, of course, you can always settle this like men. Bulk holds up his fist to emphasize the point. Skull repeats, yeah, like men. Kimberly tries to shoo them away. Come on guys, just stay out of this. Kimberly makes shooing motions with her hand. Tommy replies, hey I'm game for it. Right here, right now! Skull and Bulk exchange excited looks as Jason and Tommy move out into the middle of the hall. Suddenly all the students can hear Miss Appleby's voice. What is going on here?! Bulk quickly grabs Jason in a bear hug, but Jason breaks out of it. The students part as Miss Appleby makes her way towards them. Bulk tells Miss Appleby that they were just trying to break these two up. Things were starting to get a little ugly. Miss Appleby finds that hard to believe. Kimberly steps forward and states, Tommy and Jason were just practicing their moves for their karate class. Trini backs up Kimberly's story. Miss Appleby tells them, the hallway is not the place. I am surprised. You two should know better than that. Miss Appleby walks away and the students scatter.
Miss Appleby's class has started and Tommy tries to slip in, but Miss Appleby catches him. Miss Appleby gives the class an assignment that they must ask a friend to tell them what their biggest fault is and change it. Bulk & Skull try to get out of it by asking Miss Appleby if there is nothing wrong, do they have to the assignment? Miss Appleby assures them if their friends can't get find something, she will. Tommy jokes with Bulk about the assignment, but Bulk merely replies that Tommy will be lucky if he remembers the assignment. This causes Tommy to stop and think. A couple of days later, Bulk & Skull stroll down the hall dressed in tuxes. Bulk & Skull present Miss Appleby with a gift. Miss Appleby insists that Bulk & Skull open the gift as she just had her nails done. Bulk & Skull have no choice but to open the gift and have silly string spray all over them.
