So, I just watched the episode 'Todd Falls In Love' and it got me to thinking "What if Todd had never eaten Ms. Mush's Mushroom Surprise and actually became Maurecia's boyfriend?" That's what gave me the inspiration to write this...so here goes, I guess.
About 10 minutes ago, Todd had told his classmates that he would rather eat Ms. Mush's Mushroom Surprise than be Maurecia's boyfriend. Now he and the rest of Mrs. Katherine Jewls' class were now on the 15th floor in the lunchroom headed up by Ms. Mush. An explosion had taken place and when the smoke cleared, Ms. Mush had appeared with her infamous Mushroom Surprise in hand. Looking on was 11 year old Todd Randall, the smartest yet sensible kid in class.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." Todd lamented. This brought a gleam to Maurecia's ocean blue eyes.
Meet Maurecia Oliver - the tomboy with a girly side. She was once a gentle girly-girl, but after her porcupine got turned into a pineapple by the evil substitute Mrs. Gorf, she became the action sports star of Wayside and took down Mrs. Gorf once and for all while saving her classmates.
"Really? So you'll be my boyfriend?" Maurecia gushed, looking lovingly at Todd.
'This really isn't worth it. I mean, who knows what's in that Mushroom Surprise?' Todd thought to himself before finally coming out with...
"Yes, Maurecia...I will be your boyfriend."
"YAY!" Maurecia cheered, kissing Todd on the cheek. In response, the rest of Mrs. Jewls' class cheered. Even Ms. Mush celebrated.
"Ms. Mush so happy for Todd and roller skate girl..." Ms. Mush said with tears of joy in her eyes. "Ms. Mush knew from spring costume dance that you and roller skate girl were meant to be!"
"Everyone knew, Todd...I guess you just needed that little extra push," Dana, the rule-loving girl of Wayside School, remarked. She giggled profusely, then gave her signature catchphrase "ENOUGH WITH THE FUN!"
"Wow...I had no idea everyone in school was rooting for us, Maurecia."
"Neither did I, Todd."
"Well, class...let's all head back upstairs! As for Todd and Maurecia, I suggest we move their desks together so that they can be as close as possible!" Mrs. Jewls said to her class as they headed back to the 30th floor.
"They're gonna be spending plenty of time together anyway, so why not get them started?" Myron, the class president wannabe, added in.
Once the class got back to the 30th floor, Todd and Maurecia took to their desks, only for Dana to move Todd's desk to the other side of the room before shoving Maurecia's desk right next to Todd.
"Okay...serious deja vu," Todd remarked.
"The ponytail incident?"
"The ponytail incident."
"Todd, I don't blame you for that. I really blame Dana for trying to force us together. I didn't want that, you didn't want that and personally, I was just waiting for that little push, like Dana was talking about earlier," Maurecia explained.
"Who would've ever thought it would be Ms. Mush's Mushroom Surprise?"
"I know, right?"
"So now that we're boyfriend/girlfriend...what do we do now? I've never had a girlfriend before," Todd admitted.
"Hey...you're my first boyfriend, Todd. I guess we just wing it and learn as we go."
Todd smiled and took Maurecia's hand in his, looking into her sparkling ocean blue eyes and thinking to himself 'You know...maybe I've been looking at Maurecia all wrong. She's very sweet and beautiful...perhaps being her boyfriend might not be so bad...'
Todd and Maurecia's adventures as boyfriend and girlfriend are only just beginning! Next up...I'm thinking their first Winter Dance.
Stay Cool, Crazy, Wild and Upside-Down!
