I'm back, after months of lurking around Fanfiction! I don't think you guys remember me, haha. I usually write High School Musical stories; occasionally writing other stories. Here's something I wrote a year ago, and I just rememebred that I could post it on here. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Maddie, London, Corrie, Sharpay, and Ryan belong to Disney. Credits to Junie B. Jones for inspiring Maddie's personality. I don't own much, do I? ;)

My name is Madeline Fitzpatrick. There are other names to it, but I think it's too long. So don't call me Madeline. Call me Maddie, for short.

I have a Mommy and a Daddy who love me very much. Even if I never eat the yucky veggies that Mommy cooks for dinner. And also even if I sneak into the cookie jar before dinner.

The other two people in my family are my big sister and big brother. They are twins. But I remember in Preschool, there were twins named Lacey and Tracey and they look e'zactly the same! So I wonder what happened to Sharpay and Ryan.

Sharpay is my big sister. She takes care of me when Mommy and Daddy aren't home. Except that is not called babysitting, 'cause I'm not even a baby anymore!

Ryan is my big brother. He also takes care of me. But he can't seem to ever get a learner's permit. Only Sharpay can. They are old enough to drive. But that's only thirteen years apart, so I'm almost there.

I love my entire family more than a puppy. I really, really, really want a puppy, though. I asked Mommy for one and she said that I could get one the day that pigs fly. But I know pigs will never fly, so what kind of day is that?

And I'm e'zactly five years old.

That means I go to a place called Kindergarten. I don't know why it's even called that, 'cause there isn't a garden in sight over there. Mommy and Daddy made me go. They want to make me a smart lady when I get bigger, only I don't know why. 'Cause at Kindergarten, all you do is print your letters and color and do some math, which I already know how to do!

My teacher's name is Mrs. Laura. She said it was Miss Laura, but I think Mrs. Sounds better. I met Mrs. Laura on Meet the Teacher Day.

"Welcome to Kindergarten, Madeline," she said. "You're going to have a lot of fun here!"

I frowned. 'Cause she didn't call me Maddie, apparently.

"No!" I yelled. I stamped my brand new green shoes with the pink laces on the ground. "Call me Maddie. Don't call me Madeline!"

Mrs. Laura looked surprised at me. Then she looked at Mommy.

Mommy had an angry look on. I knew that face. It meant that I was in big trouble when I got home. I hung my head.

"Sorry," I whispered. Mommy and Mrs. Laura looked happier. She took my hand and showed me other things in the room. Like the crayons. And the paper. And the tables where we sit. And the cubbies where we put our stuff.

Then she showed me the best thing of all!

His name is Snowflake and he is big, white, soft, and fluffy! Mrs. Laura told me that he is our class bear, and that we would take turns bringing him home on the weekends. Snowflake also came with two bear books and a journal for us to write about our weekend with him.

"Hey! Can I take Snowflake home first, Mrs. Laura? Please, please, please? Can I, can I, can I?" I stood on a table so I could be taller and look bigger.

Mrs. Laura's eyes got wide and she lifted me down. "We'll have to wait and see, Maddie," she said. I smiled at my name. "In Kindergarten, we pull names out of a hat to choose who takes him home."

I crossed my arms in front of me and looked at the ground. "But that isn't fair." Now I would never get to take Snowflake home.

Mrs. Laura bended next to me. "Don't worry, Maddie. If you're lucky, you might be first!"

"Okay," I said.

Mrs. Laura then got a shiny red pencil and a slip of paper from her desk. She walked me to a chair and handed them to me.

"Maddie, can you write your name on this for me? Then you can see if your name will be pulled first." I smiled.

"Of course I can! Grandma says I print my name like an angel," I told her. She laughed a little, but I don't know why. I didn't see anything funny. I wrote my name very carefully. "M-A-D-D-I-E. There. That spells Maddie."

"Yes it does," she said. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," I said. Then Mommy and her talked for a million zillion minutes after that. Finally it was time to go.

"Say bye to Miss Laura, Maddie," Mommy said. I waved.

"Bye, Mrs. Laura."

"Bye, Madeline, see you at school on Monday!" We walked away to the car, but I was frowning on the inside. 'Cause guess what? She called me Madeline again.

"Maybe, maybe not," I said. He chuckled and went to turn off the light and close the door.

And I smiled to myself 'cause tomorrow at Show-and-Tell, I would be the star of the whole entire production.
