After what felt like a million years. Alex, John, and Charles were allowed to go back to school. Alexander spared no time. Five A.M. sharp he arrived at the school. The school doors were never locked (Alex thought that wasn't the safest thing to do, but...he is five and half) so he pushed the door open. The fierce kindergarten rushed to the kindergarten room, expecting it to be empty, was shocked when he saw his teacher sleeping on the floor.

Alex snatched a ruler from, Mr. Washington's desk. He began to poke and prod the bald mango several times until it began to stir.

"..Alex?"

Alex nodded at the half asleep/awake teacher."What...what time is it," Yawned George while stretching.

Alex made a confused face, "That's a silly question, I don't understand the concept of time."

Washington clicked his tongue and brought his wrist in front of him. He frowned at the time.

"I expected you to be early..but not two hours early.."

Alex shrugged as he made a steady eye contact with the man.

"Uh..can you go do something...safe?"

Alex raised a skeptical eyebrow at the teacher, "Is that a challenge?"

"What? No-"

"Challenge accepted!"

Before Washington could even began to open his mouth, Alex had rushed to the other side of the room with...duct tape? Where in the world did he get that? The child began to tape four pillows on him, and put a dress up construction hat on. And then..he stood. He just stood there.

"Why..don't you sit down?" inquired Washington.

"Sitting is too dangerous."

The man sighed, "I swear if I had hair, it would be grey now because of you."

For the next two hours Alex had stood with pillows strapped on, and a fake helmet on.

An extremely tired looking Lafayette, trudged into the classroom, hardly acknowledging Alex….scratch that. Not acknowledging him at all. He simply sat down and put his head down. Alex tilted his head and waved his hand a small bit. George frowned as he walked towards the small French child.

"Hey..how you feeling bud." Asked George with the same worried look Alex had on.

Lafayette nodded. Uh…

"What...what does that mean?"

He shrugged.

George sighed, "Laf, can you look at me?"

Lafayette lifted his hand and struggled to look at his favorite person. George felt Lafayette's forehead with the back of his hand to see if he had a fever or not. He did.

"You have a fever, you have to go to the nurse's office" Stressed the teacher.

Lafayette shook his head and whined, "No..I..I want to see….uh...Alex."

The teacher pointed to Alex, who was standing looking at his friend with increasing worry.

"Oh….well I..-" Lafayette began to search for excused in his mind, "Oh look, Hercules is here, gotta go say….uh...what's that word….hi!"

"Nope" George popped the P and Lafayette let a sigh out.

Off to the office."Bye Lafayette!" Waved Alex.

At least he had-

"Oh...uh..Mr. Washington...I forgot...I glued my feet to the floor."

"WAHT?"

"Well..you see, I thought I might fall. So I glued myself to the floor. And I'm stuck now" Alex explained while trying to pull his foot up.

"That. Is. Just..lovely."
