The Corps Discovery Expedition: A Short Story

“Okay Arnold, if this doesn't help you, nothing will.” Mr.Yola said, “You see, I have two magical history books, and if you write “Meanwhile” on a page, you’ll go to that time and place. But we can't have too much interaction with the things there. So where do you wanna go first?” As Arnold and Mr.Yola were discussing about the place they were going to, Dwayne snuck in and heard their conversation. And plotted his despicable scheme. “If Arnold goes back in time and actually learns history he might pass his test and become a successful person In life!” And so he conjures up a plan in a stroke of genius; He plans to stop Arnold, or at least disrupt history so Arnold will fail his test no matter what, so he steals one of the books and gets ready

“You see Arnold, Thomas Jefferson hired Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and sent them on a expedition known as the “Corps discovery expedition”. They discovered many plant and animal life and people too. they luckily found help from native tribes and people, or else they probably wouldn't’ve made it.” Arnold was obviously not paying attention because there was a caterpillar.

Fortunately they leaped out just in time and ran into the forest, out only to see Dwane. Looking at them. In a tank. While the Germans around Dwayne were talking, Mr.Yola uttered, “Can barely pass a simple history test, but knows how to fully operate a tank… Quick Arnold, what are the Germans saying?” After he made a really odd face he managed to understand them.

“They’re saying how Dwane “donated” his sauerkraut, beer, and sausage to them. And I guess they let him try out the tank… wait how does he know how to speak German?”

“Good question Arnold!” Dwayne yammered out, “I don't, but beer speaks for itself. Anyway don't worry boys, I got this!” After a Grammy winning scream from Mr.Yola, they dashed into the woods, with Dwyane closing in and firing at their
