Now you may be wondering what fan fiction for The Magic School Bus might be like. Is it humourous one-shots with educational material? Or maybe it's angsty high school fics? Take a guess which type of story is most prevalent in the fandom. However, this particular fic is neither. Rather, it's a script-fic that, for some reason, depicts the canonically unmarried Ms. Frizzle giving birth. Do the kids learn anything about the human reproductive system along the way? Let's find out!

Ms. Frizzle: “Ah, good morning class!”She put the scissors on the table next to her.Class: “Good morning Ms. Frizzle!”Ralphie:(whispers to Keesha) “Boy I wonder when she’s going to pop. She’s enormous!”Keesha: “Ralphie! Don’t let her hear you! Shhh!” She looks at Ms. Frizzle who looks at them both. (Because we all know the Frizz knows everything that is going on.)
Thanks for that helpful note. Ms. Frizzle certainly does know everything that's going on, unlike several fics that would lead you to believe she's unaware of Carlos and Ralphie's shenanigans in the back of the bus. Please note the bolding is the author's and not mine.

- Carlos: “What was that? Did someone spill something?” Everyone looks around to see what happened.Ms. Frizzle: Whoops! Clumsy me…..my water broke. She said shocked and worried.
So apparently, Ms. Frizzle, who is capable of shrinking children down and setting them loose in someone else's body, is shocked and worried by her water breaking of all things. Okay.

- Tim: “My mom had a baby once. We had to take her to the hospital.”Ms. Frizzle: “Right you are Tim.” Arnold stands up on a desk.
My dad got bit by a bobcat once. We had to take him to the hospital. I just thought I'd volunteer that information as y'know, a point of interest.

- Wanda: “Okay I’ll go get it.” Wanda goes to the closet to
get the rolling chair out. (And again random stuff fly out.) She rolls
out the chair and puts it right beside Ms. Frizzle. Carlos and Arnold
pull her up and Arnold holds her hand to keep her balance. Ralphie then
takes her chair and pushes it out of the way. Then he rolls the rolling
chair directly beneath Ms. Frizzle. Carlos and Arnold help her sit
down. She shuffles to make her self comfortable.
Thank you for those helpful details. They certainly help to advance the narrative.

- Ms. Frizzle: (whispers) “I don’t think I can wait much longer. I need to get to the hospital.” Oh this baby is pressing so down so hard on my abdomen! I feel as if I could just die right here, right now! (she holds her stomach) oh these kids are so sweet. They are trying to help me in anyway they can!” (she similes to herself.)
I similie to myself all the time. In fact, I similied to myself just now about this fic: "This fan fiction is like candy corn: No one knows why it exists, and no one admits to liking it, but yet, there it is."

Medic: “Ok I think we are ready. Thanks kids!” He starts rolling her up the ramp and into the ambulance.D. A.: “Wait! Please let us come1”Class: “Yea!”Carlos: “We won’t be any trouble! Promise!”Medic: “Well...how many of you are there? Let’s see...1...2...5...9! That’s pretty tight. But since you seem so attached, come on in.”
Hey, let's shove a bunch of kids in with a pregant lady. Why not right? It's not as if they'll get in the way or anything!
In case you missed it, the kids are actually piling into an ambulance. That's right. It's a Magic School Bus fic where they never actually use the Magic School Bus! Because it's not like the MSB can magically morph into anything they need it to be.... oh wait.

- Arnold: “Umm… does anyone know how we are going to get home?”Tim: “Come to think of it, how are we?” Everyone looks at each other.Medic:
“I’ll tell you what. I’ve got to go pick some supplies up across town.
Why don’t you kids come and I’ll drop you off at your school on the way
there?”Class: “Yay!” So all the kids follow Phil to
the ambulance and hop in. The car starts and they drive away awaiting
for the next fantastic day of school.
I knew I should've stayed home today.
