*That night* Dudley laid there on the bed "You sure your okay with this Luna?" the blue cat walked in and nodded "Yeah, you slept on the couch for a couple days now anyway, so I'll sleep on out there tonight okay?" Dudley sat up "Luna, you don't have to, this is your house after all" Luna smiled at him "It's okay, you need a place to get some real sleep anyway" Dudley moved over and patted the bed.
"Come on Luna, we'll share it" Luna looked confused "Are you sure?" Dudley nodded "Yeah, it's just big enough for two" Luna's smile only grew "Okay, wow we'll be like a real family huh?" Dudley looked at her confused "Family?" Luna shook her head "Oh never mind" She goes next to the bed and lays down next to him.
"Dudley? I've been thinking" Dudley looked over at her "About what?" Luna tapped her fingers on her stomach while looking at the ceiling "What if...we have Kitty go to school?" Dudley got confused "What? Why?" Luna shrugged "Well, it would make sure that nobody knew that was Kitty, no villain would ever think a five year old going to school would ever be Kitty Katswell" Dudley had to agree with her on that.
No one would ever believe that the Kitty Katswell was a five year old going to school "Alright, why not" Luna looked over at him "Really?" Dudley nodded "Yeah, it's a great idea, plus I get to mess with Kitty more so it all works out" Luna laughed softly "Come on Luna, let's get some sleep" Dudley said as he put the covers over them.
Luna blushed as he did this, she had to admit, she always dreamed of her and Dudley as a couple and this, her laying down next to him was the closest she's ever gotten "Okay, good night Dudley" Dudley turned so his back was facing her and she sighed and went to sleep.
*The next morning* Kitty sat there in front of a mirror and Luna was brushing her hair for her " Your hair is so pretty" Luna said and as she brushes the five year old's hair "Luna, why can't I do it?" Luna smiled a bit "Because, I've always wanted to brush your hair!" Kitty was so embarrassed, she hated how Luna would baby her but she had to admit, she kinda liked having Luna take care of her.
It had almost been a week and Keswick no idea if there was even a cure, she looked at her tiny hands and wondered if she would ever be an adult again "Luna?" the blue furred mother figure smiled at her "Yes?" Kitty sighed "Will I ever be an adult again?" Luna looked at her confused "Well the way I see it, ether they find a cure, are you'll age back naturally" Kitty didn't like the second option, she wanted to be with her friends, not be forced to make new ones.
Luna brushed Kitty's hair as Kitty sighed "Hey Kitty, I had an idea last night and me and Dudley were talking about you, going to school" Kitty's little eyes widened in horror "What! No way!" She turned to Luna "I put up with Dudley and you already, I'm not going back to school!" Luna simply smiled at her "Think of it this way, no one will think a five year old kitten going to school would be the great Kitty Katswell" Kitty thought about it.
She had to admit, that was true, going to school would sell that she couldn't be Kitty "Well, I guess so, but do I have to!" Luna pulled out a small backpack full of school supplies with the name Mary on it "Your name will be Mary from now on, until you get turned into an adult again" Kitty looked at her, she knew Luna was enjoying this a bit to much.
"Fine, I'll go" Luna took out a hair tie and turned Kitty around and started fixing her hair "Yay, can I call you Mary?" Kitty narrowed her eyes annoyed "Don't push it" Luna puts back her hair into a ponytail "Well...I sort of registered you in Kindergarten...under that name..." Kitty mentally slapped herself.
"Really! Oh come on!" Luna sighed "I'm sorry, it was Dudley's idea to not tell you until after the fact" Kitty growled "Dudley! I'll kill him!" Luna tapped Kitty's forehead which confused her "A young lady shouldn't talk like that" Kitty turned to her "I'm not a young lady, I'm an adult! I'm over twenty years old!" Luna laughed softly.
"All I see is a five year old cutie, so you should enjoy life as a kid again, I wish I could relive my childhood" Kitty shook her head "I worked hard to be a secret agent, I went through my childhood already, it wasn't fun!" Luna put a hand on Kitty's shoulder "It's okay, I understand troubled childhoods, I went through some pretty bad stuff myself as a kid" Kitty breathed and calmed down.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to Kindergarten under Mary" Luna smiled again "Don't worry Kitty, I packed you a lunch and I got you everything you need, so just have fun and remember your nap time" Kitty grabbed the pink backpack and nodded "Yeah, okay mom, jeez" Luna's eyes sparkled at that "Um, Luna? Are you okay?" Luna nodded happily as tears started to form in her eyes.
Kitty got confused "Did I upset you?" Luna shook her head "You called me mom, I'm just happy" Kitty rolled her eyes "Luna, I was annoyed, I wasn't calling you my mother" Luna stood up and wiped away a tear "Well, I'm still happy, your the closest thing I have to a daughter" Kitty felt bad for Luna, she remembered Luna talking about the very low chance she had to get pregnant, and that was on her planet, she wondered if Luna even could breed with an earthling.
Luna went over to a closet and took out a little girl school outfit "I prepared for this, so I made sure you had a school uniform" She handed the outfit to Kitty and she changed into the blue skirt and white flower shirt "I haven't worn a skirt in years" Luna nodded "Yeah, that's a shame, you really pull it off" Kitty smiled "Really?" Luna nodded again.
"Yeah" Dudley opened the door and saw Kitty "Hey you ready for school, Mary?" he said holding back a laugh, Kitty wanted to hurt him for that, but Luna took her tiny hand and smiled "Let's go" Kitty nodded and they left the room, Dudley followed after them and they went outside "You'll have so much fun back in kindergarten!" Kitty glared at Dudley as Luna took her outside to the car.
"Don't worry Kitty, as Mary you'll be undetectable to villains" Kitty smiled at Luna, she was happy that she had friends that worried about her safety "I hope your right" Luna strapped Kitty in the car and turned to Dudley "Okay Dudley, I'll take her to school" Dudley looked at her confused.
"Why can't I come?" Luna gave him a look that said, Really? You have to ask, and Dudley sighed "I was only going to tease her a little, and you can't drive yet remember?" Luna sighed, she hadn't gotten what the earthlings call a drivers license yet, even though she knew how to use a car "Okay fine, but it's her first day and I want her to not be embarrassed, okay?" Dudley almost laughed, if he wasn't going to embarrass Kitty, Luna was going to even if she didn't mean to.
Kitty rolled her eyes "Can we get this over with please!" Luna smiled and got in the car "Ready?" Kitty adjusted the seat belt "Fine" Dudley got in the drivers seat and started the car after putting on his seat belt, soon they drove to Petropolis Kindergarten and Luna helped Kitty out of the car "Luna, I can do it myself" Luna took her tiny hand and Dudley got out of the car and they walked inside the building.
They went to the principal's office and walked in, Luna went over the front desk lady "Excuse me?" the lady looked up at them "How can I help you?" Dudley smiled "We're here with Mary..um.." Luna looked over at him and spoke up "Mary Puppy" Kitty and Dudley looked over at Luna confused and Luna shrugged as the front desk lady checked her notes.
"Ah, here you are, so it's your daughter's first day of school huh? Well the principal will see you now" Dudley nodded "Okay, one second please?" He took Luna's hand and pulled her to the side so no one could hear them "Puppy? Luna, she can't use my last name, what if my mom hears about this?" Luna looked down to the floor.
"I..I'm sorry, I didn't know any other last names other then Katswell, and we can't use that" Dudley sighed "Luna, she'll be back to normal someday, we can't do anything permanent, or at the very least you could have used your last name" Luna looked at him confused "But I don't have one, and it's your job to watch her, I'm only helping" Dudley got a little angry.
"Well your helping is only making things worse, I'd be in so much trouble if my mom heard I had a kid!" Luna choked a bit getting scared "I..I'm sorry..." Kitty walked over to them "Dudley! Leave her alone, she's only looking out for me" Dudley crossed his arms "But!" Kitty glared at him "Stop it Dudley" the white dog felt bad now for yelling at Luna, he didn't like seeing her scared.
He breathed and looked at Luna "Luna, I'm sorry, I understand you were just trying to help" Luna smiled again "It's okay, I'll fix the name" She goes over to the front desk "I'm sorry, the last name I gave you was inaccurate, can you change it?" the lady nodded "Of course Miss, under what name?" Dudley was relieved that she was fixing that name, but he felt guilty at the same time.
"Just change it to Alley, please?" the lady nodded and wrote it down "So, Mary Alley then?" Luna nodded and then the lady motioned them to the principal's office, so Kitty walked over to Luna and she took her hand "Come on" Luna nodded and they went into the office, there was a male raccoon looking at them.
"Hello, you must be Luna Alley this child's mother?" Luna nodded "Yes, I'm Mary's mother" Kitty wanted to roll her eyes when she saw Luna's smile but she knew she needed to play along right now so their plan worked "Um...you two don't really lookalike, if you don't mind me saying" Luna thought about it.
"Oh well you know, she got her looks mostly from her father" the raccoon looked confused "That dog that's outside?" Luna shook her head "Oh no, he's a friend, just a friend" The raccoon nodded "I see, well little Mary will be looked after with care" Luna smiled "Good, I've been very busy and I believe school will help her get some friends" Kitty was surprised that Luna thought this far ahead.
The principal hands Luna some papers "I just need you to sign here and Mary can go to class" Luna takes the papers and a pen and signs it "Okay Mary, Dudley will be here to pick you up after school okay?" Kitty nodded as Luna got up and petted her head "I'd like to see the class room please?" the principal nodded.
"She'll be in classroom 12B" Luna took Kitty by the hand "Okay let's go" Dudley watched them walk out and they went over to him "Okay, Mary Alley is ready to go" Dudley smiled and they left the office and started to look for room 12B, Dudley turned the corner and saw a door sign above the door that read 12B "Hey Luna I found it!" Luna walks around the corner and smiles.
"Good job Dudley!" she goes and opens the door "Excuse us?" a bunny turned and looked at them "Oh hello, how can I help you?" Luna smiles and walks over to her and offers her hand "My name is Luna Alley, and this is my daughter Mary Alley" Kitty put on a smile even though she wasn't happy "Hello there little one, I'm Ms. Hopper I'll be teaching you from now on" Kitty nodded and Ms. Hopper saw a free seat near the windows.
"Take a seat over there, and I'll catch you up to speed on our lesson" Kitty sighed and Luna kissed her forehead before she went over to her desk and sat down, Luna waved to Kitty and smiled "I'll see you later Sweetheart" she leaves and the other kids started to laugh, Kitty put her face down on the desk and was completely embarrassed.
