So this is my new Spoby story! I'm so excited to write more. I already have the first six chapters done! I'm in love with it! Please let me know what you think of my idea so far!

This story has no A. No Alison. Emily and Hanna will be in this story, and maybe Aria too.

"I am so nervous for tonight," Spencer admitted as she searched through her closet. "What should I wear?"

Hanna pulled out a short jean skirt and a purple tank, "Here."

"I'm not going to wear that at open house for my kindergarten class," Spencer rolled her eyes. "I need something that say's I'm professional. Parents are going to judge me when they realize I'm straight out of college."

"Why are you asking me then?" Hanna laughed. "That's what I would wear."

"Of course you would," Spencer shook her head. Spencer held up two outfits. One was a dark maroon blazer with black dress pants. The other was white button up shirt with black dress pants as well, "Which one?"

"They both look hideous," Hanna blurted out.

"Well I'm not going on a date, it's for my job," Spencer sighed.

Hanna grabbed the two outfits out of Spencer's hands and threw them on the ground. "What if there is a hot single teacher working there as well?"

"There's not," Spencer answered quickly. "We've already had staff meetings, they are all old."

"Well maybe there will be a hot single dad," Hanna smiled. Hanna pulled out a long black pencil skirt and a dark blue blouse. "Here this will do. You'll still look professional, but if there are any hot single dad's this will catch their attention."

"That's not bad actually," Spencer admitted looking at the outfit. "Thanks."

"You will do great tonight, don't be nervous."

Spencer collapsed on her bed and let out a huge breath. "I hope so."

"Daddy look!" Lexi yelled running out of her room.

"What?" Toby looked around confused.

"My outfit! Emily bought it for me when we went shopping," Lexi twirled.

"It looks nice," Toby laughed.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Lexi pouted.

"I'm sorry you're just so cute," Toby tried to stop smiling.

"When can we leave?" Lexi asked.

"We still have a couple hours before it starts," Toby turned to the kitchen. "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"Dinosaur nuggets!" Lexi answered immediately.

Toby laughed, "again?"

Lexi nodded her head. She followed him into the kitchen. Toby handed her two plates and silverware so she could help set the table. She grabbed two cups from the dishwasher. "What are we going to drink?"

"Uh , you pick!" Toby answered.

"Apple juice!"

Toby rolled his eyes, he already knew she was going to say that. After he finished cooking he served them dinner.

"Green beans?" Lexi complained.

"You have to eat something good after all those dinosaur nuggets," Toby scolded. "I want to see you eat every single green bean on that plate or no more dinosaur nuggets for a month!"

Lexi's eyes widened, "Ok daddy."

"Alright it looks like this is your classroom," Toby said pointing at the room in the corner of the hallway.
Lexi nodded her head and grabbed Toby's hand. "What if nobody likes me?"

Toby knelt down, "Hey don't say that. Everyone is going to love you!" Toby pulled her in for a hug.

Toby stood up still holding onto Lexi's hand. He walked in the classroom filled with parents and children. Most of the kids were already socializing and playing. The parents were scattered around looking at the classroom and talking amongst each other. "Hey look," Toby pointed at a group of kids. "They are coloring over there, you love to color. Why don't you go join them?"

Lexi looked up at Toby with worry in her eyes.

Toby lightly pushed her over to the kids and pulled a chair over so she could sit. She slowly sat down and observed the kids around her. Eventually a little boy handed her a piece of paper and a crayon. She gave him a small smile before she started to color. Toby backed away when she started to look more comfortable. She wasn't talking to any of the kids but at least she wasn't crying.

Suddenly Toby felt a light tap on his shoulder, "Excuse me?"

Toby turned around quickly to see a beautiful young women who looked to be his age.

"Hi, I'm miss Hastings," Spencer said extending her hand.

Toby shook her hand, "uh, you're Mrs. Hastings?"

"Yes I am, Miss Hastings," Spencer corrected. "You must be one of the dads?"

"Uh yes. Yes I am," Toby couldn't think. He almost felt like he was drunk. He was answering her questions way after she asked them. "Sorry, long day at work," he lied.

"It's ok, I've had a long day too." Spencer smiled at him. She was very glad she had decided to go with the pencil skirt today. "So which one is yours?" Spencer looked around.

Toby turned around to find Lexi. "That one coloring, with the pink and white dress on."

"Oh, ok!" Spencer spotted her. "So what's she like?"

"She is pretty shy at first. She gets nervous about making new friends. She is really smart, and fun to be around," Toby smiled. "She's really excited to start school. She couldn't wait to meet you."

"Aw, that's sweet," Spencer smiled back. Spencer glanced down at Toby's hand looking for a ring. She didn't see anything, but that didn't mean he was single. "So is your wife here today?" Spencer asked nervously fidgeting with her hair.

"Um no," Toby looked down. "I'm not married."

"Oh," Spencer tried not to look relieved. They both stood there looking at each other trying to find something to say.

Toby finally broke their gaze and turned around, "Hey Lex!" Toby waved her over.

Lexi quickly got up and walked over to him.

Toby pulled Lexi in front of his so she was right in front of Spencer. "This is your teacher Mrs., Uh… I mean, Miss Hastings. Miss Hastings this is my daughter Alexandra, but we call her Lexi."

Spencer bent down so she was eye level with Lexi, "Hi Lexi, it's nice to meet you."

Lexi smiled but didn't respond.

Spencer remembered Toby saying she was shy. "What's your favorite thing to do?"

Lexi looked down at her hands which were nervously tugging at her dress. Toby squeezed her shoulders, "Eating green beans and cleaning her room."

Lexi let out a laugh, "No it's not daddy!"

"Its not?" Toby faked being surprised. "What is it then?

"Playing dress up with Emily, or baking cookies with you," she said quietly looking up at Toby.

"I like to do those things too," Spencer smiled. "Obviously I've never done that with you… or this Emily that you speak of," Spencer blushed. Spencer wished she would have just left that last part out, now she looked stupid.

Toby let out a quiet chuckle.

"So," Spencer looked over at the table next to her grabbing a few papers. "This is all the things she will be needing for kindergarten. And the rest explain the curriculum. My email address is on there in case you have any questions or concerns."

"Ok thank you," Toby smiled. He looked behind him at the line of parents wanting to talk to her. "Well we better get going," Toby said reluctantly. "It was nice to meet you."

"You too, Mr.?" Spencer realized she never got a name.

"Cavanaugh. You can call me Toby."

"Ok," Spencer blushed before shaking his hand one last time.
