September 9th, 1998

"Come on baby. It's time to wake up." Kurt's mom, Elise, said gently shaking the boy.

"Mommy I don't wanna." He curled into the tiniest ball he could and a hand over his eyes.

It was Kurt's first day of preschool. Elise and Burt tried to convince him that it was going to be different and fun but he knew better. He was scared. He didn't want to be away from his mommy.

"But you have to, baby. You're gonna be just fine. You'll have fun, you'll make new friends, and you'll be back before you know it." She picked him up and carried him to the bathroom. "Now, come on, get in the bath."

"But momma-"

"It'll be okay. Just get in the bath."

Kurt stripped down and got in the tub. He let Elise bathe and dress him. He ate his cereal slowly and then it was time to go. He grabbed his little Toy Story backpack - containing crayons, a coloring book, his little blanket, lunch, and his favorite stuffed monkey - and let Elise buckle him into his booster seat.

The school was only blocks away. Sunnyside Preschool was mentioned to Elise by a friend whose son was attending this year as well. Most parents would be sad and crying when their kids started their first day of school but she was happy that Kurt was getting out of the house. She wanted him to have friends. She was kind of over his imaginary ones. She could only hope that Kurt would become friends with Andrew.

She pulled into a parking space and attempted to get Kurt out of his seat.

"No momma! I don't wanna! I don't know nobody!" He started thrashing.

"Well let's see if Maggie is still here and Ill introduce you to Andrew. Deal?"

"Fine" he said jumping out of his seat and sucking one of his chubby little fingers into his mouth.

They walked inside and stopped outside of the room where Maggie was standing with Andrew waiting.

"Hi Elise" Maggie smiled.

"Hi. Is this little Andrew?" Maggie nodded. "Say hi Kurt." She said pushing him towards Andrew.

"Hi" he whispered.

"Hi. What's your name? My name is Andrew." The little red headed boy said proudly.

"Kurt. My name is Kurt."

"Cool! Wanna be friends?" Kurt nodded.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Elise asked kneeling down next to him. Kurt nodded and threw his arms around her. "Well, be good. Okay? I'll be here to pick you up soon." He nodded and let her go. With that, Elise and Maggie left.

"Wanna go in now?" Andrew asked.

"Okay." Andrew grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room.

"Wanna meet my other friends?" Kurt nodded again and continued to be pulled to a group of other kids. "Guys this is Kurt!"

"Hi" they all said in unison. Kurt waved his chubby little hand at them.

"That's Cassie" he said pointing to a girl with a blonde braid hanging down her back. "That's Mandy" pointing to another girl with short black hair. "That's Finn" pointing to a boy this time slightly bigger than the rest of them. "That's Kasi. Don't get it mixed up with Cassie" he told Kurt pointing to another boy with curly blonde hair. "And that's Blaine" he finished pointing to yet another boy with curly black hair.

The teacher walked in and asked everybody to sit in a circle on the carpet.

Kurt looked scared again.

"You can sit next to me, Kuht." Blaine said not quite knowing how to pronounce his r's yet.

"Okay, Bwaine." Kurt answered still not knowing how to pronounce his l's.

"We can put ouw backpacks oveh hewe."

"I wike yours. Mines Woody and yours is Buzz Wightyear. They match. Coow!" Kurt said excitedly. Blaine nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

He grabbed Kurt's hand and pulled him over to the circle. They plopped down in between Cassie and Andrew.

"Okay" the teacher said sitting at the front of the circle. "First, you guys can call me Mrs. Karen. Preschool is pretty much just to get you ready for Kindergarten. I will teach you your colors, your numbers, and your alphabet. So why we don't start with your name, how old you are, and your favorite color" she said condescendingly. She pointed to the boy sitting next to her to start.

"My name is Bryan. I'm four," he held up four fingers. "My favorite color is green!"

It kept going until it reached Cassie. "I'm Cassie. My favorite color is pink. Oh! And I'm four!"

"I-I'm Kurt. I'm four and my favorite cowor is," he put a tapping finger to his chin, "bwue!" He answered nodding his head in approval.

"Kurt can you say blue?"

"Bwue!"

"Can you say it with an 'L'?"

"Bwue!" his face turned pink.

"It's okay, honey, we'll work on it. Your turn sweety" she said gesturing to Blaine.

"I'm Blaine. I'm fouw and my favowite colow is blue too!" Kurt smiled at him.

"My name's Andrew. 'M four and love purple!" he said still proud.

And it continued on. Kurt learned that Finn and Kasi were both five and they both like orange. He also learned that Mandy was 4 and like the color blue too.

"That's wonderful guys! My name is Mrs. Karen and I am 25. My favorite color is red. Just so you guys know we have lunch at 12 o'clock and you get to go home at 1. For now I want you guys to go play with each other."

"What do you wanna do Kuht?" Blaine asked.

"Cowor."

"We should play house!" Cassie yelled.

"What's that?" Kurt asked.

"Come on. We'll show you!" Kasi said running over to a table. Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and pulled him to the table as well.

"Finn can be the daddy, I'll be the mommy, Blaine and Kasi can be twins, Cassie can be the sister, and Kurt can be the baby." Mandy said satisfactorily.

"But I'm not a baby!"

"It's okay, Kuht. It's just pwetend. Babies awe small and cute. It's okay." Blaine reassured him.

"Okay" Kurt said slipping his thumb into his mouth.

He ran to his backpack and pulled out his monkey and tiny blanket for comfort. He played and let them act as if he was a baby. And before they knew it, it was time for lunch.

The little group of kids sat at a table and opened their little lunch boxes. They pulled out various types of sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Kurt pulled out a half of a turkey sandwich, gushers, and 3 Oreos.

"Hey, Kurt, I'll give you my apple slices if you give me a cookie" Finn offered and Kurt agreed.

"I'll give you half of my owange if you give me a cookie" Blaine said.

"Okay" Kurt said handing out his cookies.

They all traded and started eating. They talked and ate and then it was time to "learn some colors" as Mrs. Karen had said.

She held up different objects and asked what color it was. She held up a banana. "Kurt, darling, what color is this?"

He sat up proud because he knew. "Yewwow."

"Can you try it with an 'L'?"

"Y-yewwow," Mrs. Karen moved her mouth to make the 'L' sound so Kurt could try again, "yewwow! I can't do it." He said resting his chin in his hands. Mrs. Karen moved on.

Blaine patted Kurt on the head, "It's okay, Kuht. I can't say wed wight."

Kurt giggled. "I can say red."

"I can say yellow."

At 1 o'clock parents started to show up. Kurt kept looking for his mommy but instead found his daddy.

Kurt ran over to him, "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

"Hey kiddo," he said patting the kid on the head, "What's up?"

"Wanna meet my friends?"

"Sure, bud" he grabbed Kurt's backpack and let Kurt drag him to a small group of children.

"This is Cassie, Kasi, Finn, Andrew, Mandy, and Bwaine!" he said pointing to each as he named them off.

"Hi Misteh Kuht's daddy" Blaine said.

"Hi, bud."

"Kuht's weally fun. He's my fwiend now." Blaine beamed.

"That's great. Come on, Kurt, time to go."

"Okay. Bye" he said waving his little hand at his friends.

The drive home was filled with chatter about Kurt's new friends and how much he loves preschool.

"B-but Mrs. Karen says I don't say bwue and yewwow right."

"It's okay, Kurt. I'm sure some of the other kids can't say words right."

"Bwaine can't say red" he said proudly.

"See? You're only four, you'll learn."

"Okay" Kurt said with a yawn.

When Kurt got home he dropped his bag, told Elise about his day, and fell asleep in the living room.

A/N: So, I'm not one to beg for reviews, I personally hate it when people ask, but I just was wondering if you give me a little feedback? I just want to know what people think. I was scared to even post it because I thought people would hate it and that's just how I am. Now, I know this is short but they're little right now. They don't have a lot of angst. If this fic goes into the direction I would like it will get angsty. There's a lot I want to do with it. Maybe switch POV's in the future because these characters will be very important later. Thanks for reading! -HC
