I drew Keesha from The Magic School Bus Rides Again.

I drew her Fennekin and added a picture of Ribombee.

Carlos and Keesha are taking a vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth, posing in front of the Disney castle.

Here me out, ‘Kay?

So like, you know how in rides again Valarie passes the bus down to Fiona? If you don’t the difference between them, Valarie is our original Ms. Frizzle, in the reboot known to be Professor Frizzle. Fiona is her younger sister and the newer teacher from the reboot.

Sadly, I can’t get any photos from what I’m about to say, but like in the beginning of the first episode in the reboot, like I said, Valarie throws the keys to Fiona, giving her control of the bus and getting the bus to like listen to her and have magic over it. I don’t know if that means that Valarie still has magic in the bus and can still control the bus, or it just means the bus completely just listens to Fiona.

I’ve seen various fics of who will be the next bus holder out of the students (omg it’s giving guardian of the miracle box 😂) and most popular was Arnold, but u beg to differ.

I dint have much supporting information but I honestly think Keesha may have the chance or be closest to it. Now you might think “Why Keesha? She’s literally the most down to earth person in the group?”

Other than the fact Keesha knows of magicware, Keesha is very down to earth. Fantasies and stuff isn’t believable to her until she sees it herself, so how would she be able to take chances, make mistakes, get messy, and be magical? Why would she even want to?

Well, I was rewatching episodes bc why not? And I noticed a detail that had me jump out of my seat (I get giddy about stuff, don’t judge) because I noticed a connection.

I know I said I couldn’t find anything but I remember I could do stuff myself 😮‍💨
