//------------------------------// // 8. The New Kids // Story: A Dazzling New Life // by Joshua the Dragonslayer //------------------------------// It had been a few days since the Dazzlings has started kindergarten. And the Dazzlings were loving every second of it. Kindergarten was fun for them, from playing with their new friends to coloring and playing all kinds of games. Everyone was involved in the fun no one was ever left out. Aria had gotten close with Dean, Derek, and Bael. Sonata had gotten close with Valex and Joy. And Adagio on the other hand had gotten close with Frizzle and Athena, but not in a good way. Athena and Adagio were friends sure but they were more rivals than friends. Whenever one would do something the other would try to do better. Then it would just turn into a whole competition where they would both try to outshine the other. It was another day at Kindergarten. Well, it was until something happened. Everyone had just taken a seat and was waiting to see what they were going to do today. But their teacher had told them all that they were going to expect some new students. Once they said that the doors opened. It was a boy and a girl. The girl had a flower crown on her head. She had pink eyes, brown hair, and golden skin. The boy on the other hand had brown hair, black eyes, and cyan skin. They looked around the room and smiled, they looked like they were already enjoying themselves. They could already tell that they were going to like it at kindergarten. "You two must be the new students we've been expecting. Come up here and tell us about yourselves." The teacher said letting the boy and girl walk to the front of the class. The two new students walk up to the front of the class. The boy looks at the girl and she nods her head. The girl walks up, and the boy walks back. The kids had guessed she was going up first, and then the boy. "My name is Phoebe. I like being outside and I hope we can all be friends." Phoebe said as she bows her head smiling at everyone. The class cheers for her as she takes a seat next to Dean. The class stops cheering as the boy walks up. "My name is Leon. I like dragons and cars. I hope we can all be friends, thank you." Leon said as he bows her head also smiling at everyone. The class cheers as Leon takes a seat next to Bael. The teacher walks up back to the front of the class. The Dazzlings were going to make two new friends after today. The class stops cheering and looks at the teacher. "Now then since we have two new students I hope everyone will be nice to them. Remember in this class we're all nice to each other we're all family in this room. With that let's get going with today's game of the day. Now I want everyone to get into a big circle." The teacher says as everyone starts doing as their asked. The class gets up, takes a chair, and makes a circle around the room. Once they do that they take their seats and wait for the teacher's instructions. The teacher takes a seat for herself and takes a seat between Adagio and Athena. She has some sort of hat with paper in it, from what Adagio could see. "Now this hat will go around the circle. Once you get the hat you will put your hand in the hat and pull out one piece of paper. Every piece of paper has a question. The question you will get, you will answer the question. I'll start." The teacher said as she puts her hand in the hat. She searches the hat for a while until she grabs a piece of paper. She picks up the piece of paper and looks at the question on the paper. "The question says: What is your favorite animal? My favorite animal are dogs, now I'm going to give the hat to Athena. From there it will go to Athena all the way to Adagio. Adagio will give me the hat by the end of this game." The teacher said as she hands the hat over to Athena. Athena puts her hand in the hat and pulls out a piece of paper. "What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Frozen." Athena says as she hands the hat to Derek. "What is your favorite color? My favorite color is Blue." Derek said as he hands the hat to Aria. "Who is your best friend? Um... I would say Bael." Aria said as she hands the hat to Phoebe. "Do you like the inside or the outside? I like the outsides." Phoebe said as she hands the hat to Frizzle. "What is your hobby? My hobby is probably doing magic." Frizzle said as she hands the hat to Valex. "Who do you look up to? My parents." Valex said as he hands the hat to Joy. "What is your favorite food? My favorite food is probably cupcakes." Joy said as she hands the hat to Sonata. "Who is your favorite sibling? Uh..." Sonata looked to see both of her sisters staring her down, Sonata knew she couldn't say one over the other because then the other one would be hurt. "Aria and Adagio are both my favorite siblings." Sonata said as she hands the hat to Leon "If you had the choice to have a hundred dollars what would you do with it? I would probably... give it to my mom and dad." Leon said as he hands the hat to Adagio. "What are you most excited about Kindergarten? Getting to know all of you and just having a good time." Adagio said as she hands the hat back to the teacher. "Thank you. Good job all of you, now we know each other a bit better. I hope you all enjoyed that game cause now it's time to go over some math." The teacher said as she gets back up. Every kid gets back up and grabs their seat. They put their seats back at the tables and sit back down. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all look at each other, they were having fun here. It was currently recess time for the class. They had decided to go outside to the playground for today. The Dazzlings and the other kids look at the playground. Even though they've seen the playground many times they still couldn't shake off the size of the playground. The playground looked like a mansion to them. The teacher let the kids go and have some fun. The Dazzlings go over to the playground and start to do what any kid would do, start to have some fun. The kindergarten playground was one of the biggest playgrounds ever. There were slides, monkey bars, you name it. After a while of playing on the playground, the Dazzlings saw Phoebe and Leon just talking and not playing on the playground like everyone else. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all stop and head off to their two new students. It was weird to them. Why would they not be playing on the playground like all the other kids? "Leon, Phoebe, why aren't you playing on the playground like everyone else?" Adagio asked the two friends. "Oh, no reason. Me and Phoebe were just talking that's all. We'll play on the playground soon." Leon said looking at the girls. Aria could tell Leon was lying. Why was he lying? Aria didn't know why, maybe the conversation they were having was private and the Dazzlings came at a bad time. Aria would keep it to herself but to her, the two new students seemed a bit off. The Dazzlings leave Leon and Phoebe and go back to the playground. They start to play with the other kids trying to not think about Leon and Phoebe. But while they played they stopped and realized Leon and Phoebe were still talking and not going to the playground like they said they would. After a while play time was over and everyone went back inside. Aria had asked the teacher if she had to go to the bathroom. As she was walking to the bathroom she passed Leon and Phoebe. They were still talking so Aria decided to get a sneak peek at what they were saying. "Those are the Dazzlings that Gabby was talking about?" Phoebe asked Leon. "Yep, they're definitely the Dazzlings. Now we need to tell Gabby about what we learned. She's going to be proud of us." Leon said as he thought back to the Dazzlings. "They don't seem bad and mean as Gabby said. They seem very nice, maybe it's a mix-up." Phoebe said confused by everything. "No, I'm pretty sure they're the Dazzlings. You heard about what Gabby said about them. They match the description perfectly." Leon said as he got up. "Fine whatever. Let's get going we don't want to be late." Phoebe said as both she and Leon got up and headed back to class. Aria couldn't believe what she had heard. Leon and Phoebe were like secret agents. Who was this Gabby person? Who were the Dazzlings? Maybe her mom would know who they were. Aria walks away from Leon and Phoebe forgetting that she had to go to the bathroom. She had to know. Who were these Dazzlings that Leon and Phoebe were so interested in? But for right now the urge to use the bathroom came back to her, and she then ran to the bathroom.
