Mikey’s in a wheelchair, right?
What if he got into an accident that was so bad which caused him to be in a wheelchair? Mikey was so depressed that his dad and Carlos joked around all the time to make Mikey laugh so he’d feel better now and then?
I think that’s why Carlos and his dad are such jokesters.
a crazy msb idea hear me out:
the magic school bus? not real. miss frizzle’s field trips? all in your head.
eight kids on a school bus field trip get into a crash on their way to their destination and fall into a nine month coma — or so they’re told. they don’t question it when they wake up in the hospital and are told as such.
years later, these kids start realizing their stories are matching up, their teacher is reappearing in town, and perhaps the magic school bus is real. the questions now are what really happened that day, who’s trying to keep the truth from them, and why.
god why this fandom lol
