With more spectacles and feelings, this is no ordinary fanfiction. Reynie must learn to accept a surprising change, and his friends will follow in with it. Rated K+, this story is not recommended for all ages, as romance will be expected to occur. Nothing too mature, though. =) Please leave feedback; this is my first fanfiction.
As the car was turning down the gravel driveway, Reynard Muldoon was having a mental battle of his own. He took off his black horn-rimmed spectacles and began to polish them. So much for being myself, he thought while putting them back on. He had recently been prescribed spectacles without further notice and, much to his dismay, they were almost at their destination: Mr. Benedict's house.
As they parked on the driveway, Mrs. Permual glanced at Reynie from the drivers seat. "So, Reynie, what do you think of your spectacles?" she asked.
"Amma, what if they think I look weird?" Reynie complained.
"Don't say that!" Mrs. Permual said. "They are your friends; they will love you for who you are."
Reynie shrugged uncomfortably and took a deep breath before opening the car door and making his way to the front door. After one week, he was being reunited with his friends; but most of all, he was being reunited with that familiar blonde girl: Kate.
Meanwhile, everyone else and Kate were having a conversation about breakfast foods, right up until they saw a car pulling into the driveway. Kate, Sticky, and Constance smiled and said at once,"Reynie!"
Before they could get up from the table, Mr. Benedict ushered them back down. "Why are you all in such a - where's Kate?" Everyone's eyes flashed to Kate's chair to notice that she had disappeared. They exchanged glances and rushed to the window. There she was, running down the driveway to greet Reynie with a bear hug.
"Reynie, you're back!" Kate beamed. "I've missed you - I mean we've missed you- so much!" Reynie nodded curtly and trembled nervously. Kate held his shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Reynie, hold yourself together! You don't look that bad in spectacles." In fact, Kate thought, he looks good in spectacles.
"Thanks, Kate," Reynie said, with a noticable improvement in his confidence. And with that, they started back up the driveway to find themselves greeted with a smirking Constance and a happy Sticky.
"Ha! You look funny!" Constance said while pointing at his spectacles. Reynie rolled his eyes and took them off for another good polishing, only to be the object of Constance's new poem.
Before Constance could continue on, Kate nudged her and said,"Constance, you know better!" Constance rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out while making her way back through the front door.
Sticky smiled at Reynie and they both greeted each other with pats on the backs. Sticky commented on Reynie's appearance in glasses, going on about when they were first made. He finally stopped himself when he realized how stupid he sounded and excused himself to adjust his contact lenses. Reynie waved back at him and turned back toward Kate.
"Soo, what do you want to do, Reynie?" Kate asked. "It's only eleven o'clock." Reynie looked around until he spotted what he was looking for and turned back to Kate.
"Let's sit down on the bench", he said, and with a curt nod, they both went down over to the bench and started chatting right away.
Author's Note: I hoped you enjoyed it so far; it still felt cheesy though. All Mysterious Benedict Society characters and references belong to Trenton Lee Stewart, not me. Please review & leave feedback. Expect new chapters by once every 2 weeks, or occasionally sooner. Later! =)
