It was the night before their first day of kindergarten and Kai and Kya were excited and a little nervous because kindergarten will be all day,while pre school was only a few hours, But they would be in a class with all their friends so they were happy about that.
Kya's pov
My mommy came into my room and woke me up but I didn't want to get up. I was still tired.
"Kya you have to get up and go to school." Mommy said making me sit up. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I wasn't ready for today. Before I could get out of bed Kai came running through the door and jumped on my bed.
"Kya come on. Get dressed. It's school time and tito's making banana nutella crepes." He exclaimed and ran back downstairs. He had to much energy for me in the morning. I sighed and got out of bed and went downstairs with mommy.
After breakfast I was more awake and we went upstairs to get dressed in our new outfits we got for the first day of school. I was proud of myself when I put my pink dress that had Anna and Elsa on it on all by myself. After I was dressed Kai came into my room. He was wearing blue shorts and a red shirt with blue sleeves and blue flip flops.
"Kai I thought Spiderman was sposed to be on your shirt?" I asked.
"He is." Kai answered looking down at his shirt. He looked back up confused.
"I think your shirt is on backwards." Mommy said going over to Kai and helping him with his shirt. I put my pink flip flops on.
"Kya your shoes are on the wrong feet." Mommy told me. I quickly took them off and put them on the right feet. Mommy put my hair in a french braid and spiked Kai's hair up and then we got our backpacks and waited by the door for mommy to finish getting ready. As we were waiting we saw the big yellow bus pull up in front of our house and Jerwin,Alex and Athena ran outside accidently leaving the door open letting Hana out.
End of kya's pov
Kai and Kya ran to the front door along with Ernesto who was about to leave for work. Ernesto saw that Hana got hit by a car. He quickly closed the door so the kids wouldn't see what happened. Grace came down the stairs a few minutes later and Ernesto whispered to her what happened. She looked sad but quickly hid it before the kids could notice. Ernesto went outside to make sure the kids didn't see the body. He came back a few minuts later and everybody left.
The drive to school was quiet and quick. They got out and walked to their classroom. Kya no longer felt nervous. As soon as she saw all of her friends were there she felt better. The goodby was quick and Grace soon left the school and headed for work.
"Hey are you guys excited for kindergaten?" Tommy asked happily as hecame up to them wearing a blue reptar shirt with green sleeves and blue jean shorts. The twins just nedded.
"What's wrong guys?" Kimi asked.
"Our dog Hana got out this morning." Kao explained.
"I'm sure she'll come back." Chuckie assured.
"I hope so." Kya said sadly."Hey where's Dil?"
"He's still in pre school." Tommy explained. Kai and Kya went to pre school early so they could learn more English.
Soon in walked a dark haired woman. Everyone stopped their conversations to look toward the door.
"Hello class. My name is and I'll be your teacher this year. Now who knows the ABC song?" She asked. All of the kids raised their hands except for Kya and Chuckie. They had trouble rememberig all the letters.
"Ok so I see most of you know your alphabet but just to make sure we're going to sing the song a few times. Now everybody sit in a circle." The class of about twelve kids all sat down around the teacher while she sang and pointed to each letter making the kids sing after her.
After they sang the song a few times they got to practice writing their names.
"My name is eay to right." Kya commented happily.
"Mine to but I why is there a A in my name?" Kai asked.
Tommy looked over at Kai's paper and noticed his name had three letters in it but sounded like it only had two.
"Hmm good question Kai. Why don't you ask Mrs. Mentzel." Tommy said looking back at his paper and making a Y as neat as he could. Kai raised his hand and Mrs. Mentzel came over.
"Yes Kai?" She asked as she came over to the table where Kai,Kya,Tommy,and Chuckie were sitting.
"How come my name has a A in it if you don't say it or here it?" Kai asked.
"That's a good question. Your name has what is called a silent vowel. We'll more about it soon. For now just practice writing your name ok." The teacher explained.
When they were done writing their names they went outside for recess.
"What do you guys think of kindergarten so far?" Tommy asked.
"I like it." Kimi answered.
"I don't. Why's my name gotta be so long." Chuckie complained."And it has silent letters which I keep forgetting about cuz you can't hear them."
"Me too." What's the point of silent letters anyways?" Kai asked.
"I'm not sure but you'll get it soon. Now let's play something." Tommy said. Soon he and Chuckie,Phil,and Lil started a game of tag while Kya and Kimi went to the swings.
After recess they had stiry time. The story was about a little owl who was afraid of the dark and with the help of his friends he wasnt scared anymore. All the kids enjoyed the book. when the story was over they all sat at their tables and ate their packed lunches.
"Hey Phillip, that's my Reptar bar." Lil yelled at Phil when he took it.
"Nu uh Lillian. It's mine. You ate yours already." Phil said.
"No I didn't." Lil cried back.
"Yes you did." Phil yelled and glared. Before the argument could go any further Mrs. Mentzel came over to Phil and Lil.
"What's goimg on here." She asked.
"Phil took my chocolate." Lil explained.
"No I didn't. She ate hers." Phil answered. The teacher looked around and didn't see a rapper from the bar anywhere. She realized that there might only be one as there wasn't any chocolate on either of the twins faces.
"Ok why don't you two share this one." She said splitting the chocolate bar evenly amd handing the twins half each. They seemed satisfied with this and happily ate their share.
After lunch they played with clay. Kya had white clay and syatyed rolling out three balls.
"What are you making Kya?" Kimi asked.
"Olaf." Kya answered proudly.
"Cool. I'm making a rainbow." Kimi said scooting over so Kya could see.
"Ooh, I like the bright colors." Kya said putting Olaf's head on.
"Ok kids. It's almost time to go home so put your clay in the window so it can dry and you can finish it tomorrow." The teacher said and all the kids did as they were told.
When the bell rang all the kids rushed outside to meet their parents or get on the bus. Kai spotted auntie standing outside her dark blue cand graabed Kya's hand so they wouldn't get seperated and made their way over to her. On the way home she told them that Hana went to join Sadie in Heaven. They were upset and cried all the way home.
The next day they didn't go to school.
"Hey Chuckie where do you think Kai and Kya are?" Kimi asked.
"I don't but we're supposed to go over to their house after school today." Chuckie answered.
The rest of the day passed by quickly. They practiced writing their names again. Kimi and Lil could write theirs pretty well. Tommy had trouble making his letters neat and Chuckie forgot the K in his name. Phil was still putting an F instead of finished their clay projects and were allowed to take them home.
After school Auntie picked up Kimi,Chuckie,Phil, and Lil. Tommy went home with Didi because his grandparents were coming over for dinner.
In the car the other kids noticed how quiet Kai and Kya were being.
"Why do you guys look so sad?" Lil asked.
"Cuz Hana's gone like our other dog." Kya answered sadly.
"I'm sorry guys." Kimi said patting Kya on the shoulder. The rest of the ride home was quiet. When they go to the house they had a snack.
A little while later Mia walked through the door carrying a pet carrier.
"Hey guys I got a surprise for you." She said as she opened the cage. A little gray kitten soon appeared.
"A kitty." Kya exclaimed excitedly reaching to pet the kitten. It purred and curled up in her lap.
"I want to see." Kai said reaching to pet the cat. When he got closer he started sneezing.
"I think your going to have to keep the cat at your house. Looks like Kai is allergic." Auntie said. All the kids played with the cat except Kai, who couldn't go near it without sneezing.
"I gotta go guys but you can see Simon again at my house." Mia said as Kimi handed the kitten and she left.
"Sorry your cousin's cat didn't work out. We'll think of something else." Auntie said as she looked at the still sad kids.
Kai and Kya went to school the rest of the week and finished their clay projects and wrote their names without copying the paper that it was written on. Kai finally learned about silent vowels.
The following Sunday Grace took Kai and Kya to her work. She didn't actually have to work that day but she had a surprise for the kids.
"Wait here." She said to Kai and Kya. They sat on the chairs in the waiting room. It wasn't long before she came back out.
"This is Ginger. She's going to be our new dog. Somebody brought her here because they didn't want her anymore."
"Why didn't they want her?" Kai asked going over and petting the dog on the head.
"She's not a puppy and some people only want when their puppies." Grace explained.
"What kind of dog is that. It looks squishy." Kya giggled amd pointed at the dog's wrinkled head.
"She's a chinese Shar Pei." Grace explained to her children."That's why she has some wrinkles and her head is like a gippo's and guess what?"
"What?" they asked i unison.
"She's going to have babies soon." Kai and Kya were excited. Not only were they getting a new dog but soon they would have more. They were finally starting to feel happy.
The next day at school they told everyone the good news. It was recess so they had timee to talk.
"We got a new dog yesterday." Kai said excitedly.
"And she's going to have puppies." Kya exclaimed.
"What does she look like?" Kimi asked.
"She's this tall." Kai said holding his hand up about halfway up his body.
"She's tan with black on her nose and mouth." Kya explained."She's so cute"
"I want to see her." Lil said.
After school Auntie pulled up to the parking lot and all the jids got to see Kai and Kya's new dog.
