A/N : So I get in the car last night, and instead of my usual music being on (and yes that is Glee, because by this stage it doesn't do what happened next to me) the radio is playing; and the song is an old fave of mine "That's What Friends Are For" - and almost immediately I am thinking curses, crap, not again; because this little idea popped into my head of story within the "Everywhere" verse, and one of how Mikki and Kurt came to be best friends; because I have already alluded in stories that fall in and around this verse, that the two of them have been friends for a very, very long time; and therefore the start of their friendship taking them back to when they first met in kindergarten; and then over the years how that friendship grows even stronger.
I will try and get regular'ish updates on this; but with so many other stories on the go, it is just when I get struck to write a new bit for this; even though at the moment, I can totally see the next chapter already playing in my mind; but I have to quickly have to do some fact checking first because obviously I am very unfamiliar with that of the American school system, sine I am Australian!
Anyway, you all know what to do now, please review, fave or follow if you love this! And as always, if there a character you don't recognize they belong to me and cannot be used without my permission; all character from Glee are property of their creators, and I just play with them for fun!
Thanks for reading!
Love,

1993; five year old Mikayla Kapowski, or Mikki as she more or less got called by everyone; and the full version of her name only ever used if she was in trouble; walked over to the table that was set aside for coloring at the kindergarten where she was attending for the very first time that day, and took a seat, across from another little boy who was already seated and drawing and coloring as well.
Picking up a blue pencil to start drawing and coloring, she looked over to little boy sitting opposite her; who had gathered up all the pink pencils and was holding them in his left hand why he used his right hand to draw and color with one of them.
"You have to share" said Mikki, looking over to the little boy; who in turn looked up at end and shook his head and then looked back down again.
"Hey" said Mikki, trying to get his attention again, but this time he didn't look at her and continued with what he was doing.
Frowning at the little boy who was not willing to share, she stood up and went around to where he was sitting and took the pencils he wasn't using from out of this hand.
"Hey" said the little boy, looking to Mikki. "They're mine"
"No they're not" replied Mikki, shaking her head. "They everyone's"
"Give them back" he said, going to try and take the pencils back from Mikki, who shook her head. "I had them first"
"Got to share" said Mikki, going back to where she had been sitting, and put the pencils down near her and picked up one of the pink ones to start coloring and drawing with; and the little boy then stood up and went over to where she was and picked up all the pink pencils again, and snatched back the one that Mikki was also using.
"Hey, don't" replied Mikki, standing up and then hitting the little boy in the arm; and he looked at her and screamed; which then alerted the kindergarten teacher to what was going on.
"What is going on over here" said Miss Potter, coming over to where they were and looking at the two of them.
"She hit me" said the little boy, pointing to Mikki.
"He's not sharing" replied Mikki, looking to him and then the teacher. "He took all the pink pencils"
"Kurt" said Miss Potter, looking at the little boy. "Why are you not letting Mikki have any of the pink pencils"
"Because I'm not meant to like pink" replied Kurt, on the verge of tears. "And I want to use them"
"Kurt, sweetie" said Miss Potter, looking at him with a small smile. "I'm sure Mikki will share the pink pencils with you", and she looked to the little girl with a small smile as well; and Mikki nodded.
"I can share, yeah" she replied, looking to Kurt.
"Kurt?" asked Miss Potter, looking to him; who in turn was looking at Mikki. "Can you share as well?"
"Okay" replied Kurt, with a nod.
"Good boy" said Miss Potter, with a smile. "Now why don't you both do some lovely drawings for when your Mommy's come and pick you up in a little while?"
"Okay" said Mikki, with a nod and sat back down.
Kurt nodded as well and went back and sat where he had been, and looked over to Mikki who gave him a small smile and picked up a green pencil to start coloring with.
"Did you want a pink one?" he asked, putting the collection of pink pencils he had and then holding one out to Mikki.
"Thank you" replied Mikki, with a smile to him and took the pencil from him. "I promise to always share the pink pencils with you"
"Thanks" replied Kurt, with a smile as well, and Mikki nodded. "The other girls before said boys can't like pink, but it's my favorite color"
"Mine too" replied Mikki, looking at him. "And boys can like pink, I like blue as well, it's pretty"
"Yeah" said Kurt, with a nod. "Do you want to be my friend?"
"Okay" replied Mikki, with a smile to him; and she and Kurt continued to talk whilst coloring and drawing.

Later that same day, when it came time for parent pick up from the kindergarten; Mikki and Kurt had by that time become friends; and when they both saw their Mom's there for pickup went running over to them.
"Hi, my gorgeous little boy" said Lizzie, Kurt's Mom as she hugged him. "Did you have a good day?"
"I made a friend" replied Kurt, giving her a smile.
"That's wonderful sweetheart" said Lizzie, placing a kiss to her son's cheek.
Kurt looked at her and nodded. "She's really nice"
"I'm sure she is" replied Lizzie, with a smile; happy to see that Kurt seemed to be making friends as she and Burt were a little worried about their little boy starting kindergarten since he was an only child and didn't necessarily like what boys were meant to, and much preferred to help Lizzie with that of cooking, rather than go into his Dad's car workshop that was located at their house and where he ran a business from.
Over where Mikki was, Midge looked at her oldest daughter; who seemed to be more interested in her younger sister, Kitty who was in the stroller that her mother had bought in with her along with that of her other child Marley, who was just a little over a year old in another part of the stroller.
"Okay sweetie" said Midge, looking to her eldest daughter with a smile. "I know you missed your sisters"
"I made a friend too" said Mikki, looking to her Mom with a smile.
"I'm sure you did" replied Midge with a laugh; knowing that her oldest daughter wasn't at all shy and would find it really easy to quickly make friends, since she had that of two younger sisters who she seemed to love being around; as a little boy and another mother walked over to where they were.
"Bye Mikki" said Kurt hugging Mikki with a smile. "Can we play again tomorrow?"
"Yeah we can" replied Mikki, hugging him back as well. "Bye Kurt"
Midge and Lizzie both smiled at the sweet exchange between that of their two children, and looked at one another.
"Hi Lizzie Hummel" she said, holding her hand out to Midge with a smile.
Midge looked to her with a smile, and took her hand and shook is. "Midge Kapowski"
"Lovely to meet you Midge" said Lizzie, giving her a smile as well.
"You too" replied Midge, with a nod.
"You have a very pretty daughter" said Lizzie, looking to Mikki who was still talking with Kurt and laughing.
"As you do, with your little boy" said Midge with a smile.
"Thank you" replied Lizzie, looking to Kurt and Mikki also. "I must admit I was kind of worried about Kurt starting kindergarten, as he hasn't really been around other children much since he's an only child. But he has seemed to take a shining to your daughter"
"Well Mikki is very use to being around other children" replied Midge, with a small laugh.
"Yes, you seem to have your hands full there, with three young children" said Lizzie, with a laugh.
"I do, yes" replied Midge, with a laugh also. "And all girls as well, so I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like when they are all teenagers"
"Stressful I am sure" said Lizzie, with a smile; as Midge nodded.
"And if Kurt ever wants to come over to my house to play with Mikki, then he is very welcome" said Midge.
"I think he might like that" said Lizzie, with a smile to her. "And if you ever want a break from having three young girls at home, then Mikki is most certainly welcome over at my house"
"That would be a nice break" said Midge, with a laugh. "Because Mikki and Kitty who is the second of my three, can sometimes be quite a handful"
"Well I will give you my number" said Lizzie, getting a small notebook out of her handbag as well as a pen, and writing down her phone number and then handing it over to Midge.
"Thank you" said Midge, looking to her with a smile. "I can give you mine as well, and if you ever need anyone to pick Kurt up anytime from kindergarten, then please call me"
"Same here" said Lizzie, as she handed Midge the notebook and pen to write down her phone number. "Especially if it makes it easier for you, and trying to juggle two other gorgeous little girls to come and get Mikki"
"I might just take you up on that offer sometimes" replied Midge, with a laugh as she passed the notebook back over to Lizzie who then put back into her handbag. "Sometimes getting that of three girls to want to cooperate with one another, is very exhausting"
"I can imagine it would be" replied Lizzie with a smile. "It was lovely too meet you Midge"
"You also Lizzie" replied Midge, with her own smile. "I guess I will see you tomorrow"
"Yes you will" said Lizzie with a nod, and then looked to Kurt and Mikki, who were now both looking at Marley who was asleep in the stroller. "Kurt, sweetheart; time to go home"
"Look Mommy" said Kurt, looking to her with a smile. "Mikki has sisters"
"I know and they are very precious" said Lizzie with a smile to her son; as Kitty tapped Kurt on the head and laughed; and Kurt gave her a smile as well, which in turn made Kitty laugh also. "Say bye to Mikki, and you can see one another tomorrow"
Kurt looked at his mother and nodded and then looked to Mikki again and hugged her. "Bye Mikki, thank you for being my friend"
"Bye Kurt" said Mikki, hugging him back with smile. "And you are my best friend"
"Okay" replied Kurt, looking to her with a smile; as Lizzie took her son's hand with a smile as well.
"See you Midge" said Lizzie, looking to her with a smile; happy to see the two of their two children seemingly to get on with one another so well.
"Yes bye Lizzie" said Midge, with a smile of her own; as Kurt waved to Mikki who returned that of her own wave, and Lizzie then left the kindergarten with Kurt.
"Ready to go, sweetie?" asked Midge, looking to her daughter with a smile; and Mikki looked at her nodded.
"Yeah, can Kurt come around to play one day?" asked Mikki, as Midge started to push the stroller out of the kindergarten, with Mikki walking beside her.
"Yes, he definitely can" replied Midge, with a nod; and once getting her three girls into her car, headed home.
End Note : Thoughts on the start of this little story and the beginnings of that of Kurt and Mikki's friendship - and where it has the potential to go.
Hopefully will get another chapter up for this or one of the other many stories that I have on the go here, soon!
Thanks for reading!
Love always,
