Editing D.W. All Fired Up

==Plot==

D.W., [[Emily]], the [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|Tibbles]], and the rest of D.W.'s preschool class are playing with toys, messing about, etc. when a teacher pops in and talks to their teacher, Mrs. Morgan, for a minute. When he leaves, Mrs. Morgan tells everyone that during this week, they'll be learning about fire safety and sometime soon, they're going to have a fire drill.

However, D.W. finds out soon that that's not what a fire drill is. Instead, D.W and her class find out that a fire drill is a plan that they use to get out of the building if there’s a fire. The preschool class practices lining up for the impending drill, goes out and practices "stopping, dropping, and rolling" (a technique that the Tibbles tell D.W. that this is what she should do if her clothes caught fire). The Tibbles, thinking real fire will actually be involved, relish the thought of having a fire drill with a great deal of sadistic glee... except D.W.

That night, D.W. wakes up, and looks up at the smoke detector in her room. She then tests it by poking it with a broom, so that it starts going off. Then she goes around the rest of the house, setting off the others. [[Jane Read|Mom]] and [[David Read|Dad]] rush downstairs, half asleep, (since it's the middle of the night) and tell D.W. that smoke detectors aren't toys, and she shouldn't be messing with them unreasonably.

Back in bed, D.W. continues to worry, and has a nightmare where she can't escape from her bedroom, since she's suddenly only very tiny. When she manages to get out of her room, she finds that it's not her regular hallway, it's the school hallway, catching on fire! The firefighters are the Tibbles! They laugh, repeatedly shout "Fire Drill, Fire Drill" and run off into a big cloud of smoke.

D.W. spends the day at home with [[Nadine Flumberghast|Nadine]] (D.W. is dressed in her dungarees, as opposed to her normal outfit) and sees the Tibbles walking home that afternoon. She asks if anything important happened today. The Tibbles tell her they did some coloring and glued some sticks together. Also, D.W. realizes that there wasn't a fire drill. Her subterfuge didn't work then... she'll have to face the fire drill eventually.

The next day, on the way to school, D.W. is a bit nervous, being sure the fire drill will be that day, though Mom reassures her, saying it'll be like the fire drills they did at home. D.W. just answers with a "Yeah, I know."

D.W. acts pretty calmly, probably due to all of her additional fire drill duties. She correctly tells Emily to not pick up a load of blocks, but to leave everything behind, as the class leaves the classroom under the guidance of the teacher. The Tibbles overreact, acting as if there really is a fire, and some of the other kids are a bit concerned (Emily says that the crayons will melt. James says that he has to go to the bathroom. Sarah says that her shoelaces are done.)
