The interior of a moving school bus. Mark, a teacher in his 30s with disheveled hair, sits in the driver's seat, his head drooping as he struggles to stay awake. The soft hum of the bus and the faint sound of children's chatter serve as the background. Mark's eyelids begin to close as he grips the steering wheel loosely. The bus is filled with the warm, dappled sunlight of an early afternoon.

Mark's eyelids drooped as the school bus hummed down the road.

In the school bus, a 10-year-old girl named Lizzy with a determined look on her face notices the steering wheel wobbling. She is sitting near the front, leaning forward with her eyes widened in realization. Around her, other children are visible, some playing with toys, others chatting quietly. The background shows the interior of the bus, seats slightly worn.

Tommy, a tech-savvy boy of 10, grabs the teacher's phone from Mark's cup holder. He has an intense look on his face as he quickly dials 911. Lizzy, meanwhile, is crawling toward the driver's seat, her face set in concentration. The background shows Tommy's backpack open, with various gadgets peeking out, and other students starting to get nervous.

Tommy swiftly dialed 911 while Lizzy headed for the wheel.

The bus is veering slightly, and students are clutching their seats, gasping in fear. Tommy stands nearby, distributing aromatic gum from his backpack to calm everyone down. The background shows the bus moving along a winding road, trees and buildings blurring past the windows.

'What now, co-pilot?' Lizzy steered the bus with laser focus.
