Well guys, apparently if's NIFF WEEK! Let's celebrate something right? Thanks to ohthesimplethings here on for indirectly telling me about it. Good thing I caught it before today was over eh?

If you don't know about Niff week, just google it, and then you'll find the tumblr page with all the rules.

So here I am, trying to write seven consecutive ficlets about 1) a series I've never written for but am obsessed, and 2) a pair I've never written. What can go wrong…right?

Disclaimer: I am not RIB+ for if I was, there would be a lot more Dalton character development, and each episode would be a full hour. Oh, the detail editing would be better too.

Warning: added in family members, simply because we don't know these characters more from what we each write about them.

Without Further ado…

XxXxX

Oh, and Happy Easter. What a wonderful day to rejoice.

Niff Weeek! 4/9-4/15 Because 3/6 day just isn't enough.

Day 1 Kid!Niff Pre-dalton.

Happy Easter

"Jeff! Wake up! Nick's here! " Jeff's mother hollered up the stair well, ushering a young Nicholas Duval inside.

"You can go on up, Sweetie. I'll be in the kitchen to help you guys when you're ready." She released the boy's shoulders, and they parted ways.

"Thank you. Happy Easter, Mrs. Sterling."

"Happy Easter, Nick"

Jeff was awakened from the dream of his mom yelling at him by a knock on his bedroom door. He lazily rolled out of bed and opened the door, pushing aside his bangs to come face to face with his best friend…

"Hey Nick!"

"Hi Jeff!"

Holding a basket of eggs.

Nick raised the basket higher once he noticed Jeff's staring.

"They're from Henrietta and Gertrude."

"Your aunts?"

"My chickens."

"Oh."

"Did you get the coloring kit?"

"um, yeah. Yeah, I think my mom did…"

By this time, Nick had made his way into Jeff's room, setting the basket onto the crowded desk, and sat on the unmade bed.

"What's wrong, Jeff?"

"Well, don't you—no, it's stupid."

"Tell me." The burnet coaxed.

"Don't you think we're a little old, I mean, for this" he gestured to the eggs in an impatient manner.

Nick just looked confused, "We went Trick or Treating last October."

"But we're 12 now. Almost in Jr. High"

"Well technically, I'm still 11." Nick grinned at Jeff's unamused glare.

"Come on Jeff, did someone say something to you, or…" He trailed off.

Jeff sighed and flopped down on this bed next to Nick. "My brother. He told me to grow up. Stop acting like a child"

"Jeff, Marcus is like 30, and has 4 kids. He has to be grown up."

"Well, but—"

"We have all of high school and college."

"But shouldn't we—"

"And then we have 60 years after that! Jeff, I don't want to turn into Harriet and Georgina!"

"…Your chickens?"

"My aunts!"

"Oh."

"Jeff, don't you want Adventure, and Fun?"

"I do really like Peter Pan."

Nick just smiled, and hugged Jeff back as the dirty-blond boy wrapped his arms tightly around his best friend.

"Thank you, Nick." He whispered.

"You're welcome, Jeffie. Now what do you say we go dye those eggs. Your mom said she's waiting."

"What do you say we have a race." Jeff sprang off the bed and ran out the door, grabbing the basket of eggs on the way.

"Last one there's a rotten egg!" He called from down the hallway.

Nick just smiled and took off after his best friend, the sheets left hanging off the bed. Things were going to be alright.

A/N: You know what I think? Niff should become a part of Glee. They're transferring season 4.
