    He is doomed. I foresee that Chester will come later and kill Nate after he is kissed by Kim.

    I wanted to say this since forever: Nate is being such a hypocrite. He had a crush on Jenny for a very long time, but she wasn’t noticing him. Meanwhile, Nate wasn’t noticing Kim (and he doesn’t notice still), when she had a crush on him.

    Beginning a new story! This will be a continuation of my previous story, so enjoy! Also I changed my profile picture of my pug, I’m gonna do this throughout all of April :P

    BIG NATE AND THE FIELD TRIP: PART 1

    Nate is anxiously sitting in class, painfully waiting for class with Mrs. Godfrey. He lets out a long sigh. Everyone else is chatting with their friends or finishing up some homework from yesterday, but Nate has his head down on his desk, almost with the urge of sleeping. Mrs. Godfrey stands up and claps her hands.

    Mrs. Godfrey: Everyone! Settle down! Settle down!

    Everyone turns and looks at Mrs. Godfrey, listening to her. She writes “Boston Tea Party” on the chalkboard.

    Mrs. Godfrey: Today, we will all be learning about the Boston Tea-

    There is a knock on the door. Mrs. Godfrey stops writing on the chalkboard and walks over to the door. It’s Principal Nichols. He goes to the front of the classroom.

    Principal Nichols: Everyone, I have news for you! Last week, when you participated in the raffle, I randomly picked out a ticket and you guys have won!

    The whole class cheers, even Nate, letting out some weak clapping.

    Principal Nichols: That means you guys will be going on a field trip to New York for the second time!

    Everybody cheers again.

    Principal Nichols: …but, in order to go on the field trip, your parents need to sign this permission slip and you need $55.70 to go!

    Everyone groans, including Nate, groaning the loudest groan. Principal Nichols gives the permission slips to the students and walks out the door.

    Principal Nichols: That is all! Have a great day!

    Mrs. Godfrey closes the door and resumes her lesson.

    part 1 of Purge day Nate‘’This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning until 7 a.m., when The Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn. May God be with you all.’’ Those words blared on the sirens. Then all the windows closed shut and the doors were locked. We were locked in. At first I thought that meant we were safe. Quite the opposite. You’ll see. Let’s start the introductions. I’m Nate Wright, a 12 year old boy. My two best friends are Francis Pope and Teddy Ortiz. My other friends are Dee Dee and Chad. After we were locked in, everyone in my class stayed silent. For like 20 seconds. Then Q-tip screamed and jumped at Nick with a knife in hand. There was a look of shock on Nick’s face right before he died. Q-tip then threw the knife right into Nick Blonsky’s face. Q-tip screamed: “THIS IS PURGE DAY! ANARCHY!!” Our class erupted into chaos. continued in replies

    Also, I’m not sure if anyone else knows this, but I found a video animated in the same style as Big Nate. It seemed like it was written and directed by Peirce. I’ll leave the link down below. It’s really interesting.

    JEFFERSON RAMPAGE PART 4: It was great. The party was a blast. There was a dancing pit, and, for once, the boys weren’t left at the snack table! Kim tried to get me to dance, but I said I had a girlfriend and left. Sheila said that we should have had a place where couples make it out. Girls are so weird. Anyway, the next day the school was buzzing about the party… and the dance that night. “We’re going,” Kim said to me at my locker. “I’m going with Ruby.” I replied. As if to prove my point, Ruby walked through the door, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and said, “Can’t wait to go to the dance with you!” after she left, I gave Kim a look, and went to home room. Later, Francis and Teddy are talking about how Teddy got back together with Paige again, but I keep quit. “Hey, we should triple date!” Teddy said. “Okay, can we talk about something else? Like, do you guys know how to get Kim to stop bugging me? She and Chester broke up.” I said. “Throw mud on her,” Chad joked as he sat down. “Did you here? Jenny and Artur broke up.” “WHAT?” Francis, Teddy, and I all explode out of our chairs to find Jenny. “Did you and Artur break up??” Teddy asked. “Yes,” Jenny said. PART 5 TOMORROW

    Part 5 of Big Nate and the ULTIMATE plan

    Later…

    Nate: Chester, can I borrow an eraser?

    Chester: No.

    Chester grabs Nate and when he was going to punch Nate…

    ‘’GET OUT OF HERE, YOU JERK!’’

    It was Jenny! She hit Chester and Sheila, Teddy, Francis and Dee Dee joined her (Chad was eating lunch) and they eventually defeated Chester, who ended up in the trash can.

    Nate: Thank you, guys. I owe you that one.

    Others: No prob!

    That afternoon, while the group walked home…

    Chad: Hey guys! Look! A thunderstorm!

    Nate: RUN! Follow me!

    As they head to Nate’s house, they hear thunder in the distance.

    Ding dong!

    Dad: Nate, dinner’s rea…

    Nate: Just open the door! Hurry!

    Dad: Oh, no! a thunderstorm!

    They enter. After dinner, they deciede where to sleep.

    Nate: Ok, we will sleep in the basement. My room’s too small and Ellen’s smells like potpourri and is small too.

    They search for sleeping bags.

    Part 6 tomorrow…
