Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus — page 3 — that's okay because he got to go somewhere else The field trip that just has one little problem Rabbski has made a No Origami rule Actually she made a bunch of rules No cell phones or digital cameras No public displays of affection No sodas No orange colored snacks or drinks No peanuts due to allergies No ORIGAMI But it's the No Origami rule that we are freaking out about Now some people might think Big deal But it IS a big deal Some people might think I could get through a day without origami no problem In fact some people go days weeks months even long sad lifetimes without origami But for us a day without origami is frightening What are we going to do if we run into trouble

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus — page 4 — GO IT LET ow ANYTHING CAN HAPPENT Field trips are dangerous events a whole bunch of kids crammed into a bus for four hours to get there and then four hours to get back ANYTHING can happen Just ask Quavondo He got the nickname Cheeto Hog on last year's field trip to the zoo On that same trip Amy and Sara got in an argument about something before we even left the school parking lot and didn't speak to each other the entire day though they were seat partners and couldn't switch এ And Lance broke something in the zoo gift shop And me and Kellen got lectured by a zookeeper about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Well nothing much And Jen lost 15 AND a boyfriend And Mike I cried about something And on and on That's the sort of stuff that used to happen to us ALL the time before Origami Yoda came along Dwight first brought him to school a little even ZOO HOO TEARS

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus — page 5 — while after that field trip and he started giving us all incredible advice Even though it was too late to help most of us with our field trip problems his advice did help Quavondo get rid of the nickname And he has helped us with a million things since then from getting me an almost sort of SARA girlfriend to saving THIS year's field trip And when Origami Yoda hasn't been able to help other origami has like Sara's Fortune Wookiee and Amy's Art2 D2 and my Foldy Wan Kenobi and so on Over the last year we've gotten used to getting help from our Star Wars origami with whatever problems we run into And now we have to leave Origami Yoda and everybody else behind WUG N00000000 I have a bad feeling about this SAD WHISTLE I like nuts ARG

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus — page 6 — We've begged Rabbski to change her mind She's pretty friendly nowadays and you can actually talk to her about stuff But talking to her about this does no good at all I'm sorry but this is my last field trip as a principal and I am just not going to parade you kids through our nation's capital with paper puppets on your fingers yelling May the Force be with you at the White House You're representing this school and For some reason anytime an adult decides you are representing something they decide you should represent it by being as quiet and boring as possible I do have to admit though that she was right about us yelling May the Force be with you at the White House I can totally see Lance doing that So this case file is about how and or if we survive our field trip without any origami not even Origami Yoda
