A/N: Here's Richie, Maria, and Timmy's first day of school! Ooh, I hope they can do it, the first day of school is always hard especially when you come during the beginning of the year unlike everybody else!
The next morning, Bubbles woke up in surprise to see a box of chalk on her side of the room, then remembered that she had asked Sakura for the pieces to do her own artwork. She smiled, ready for recess today, but she hoped she would be able to focus in classes. Sakura had also gotten everyone their school equipment.
"This is some of my homework, you can look it over so you know what you're dealing with." Blossom handed school papers to Richie.
The boy took them and looked at them.
"You can take Spud to show and tell if you want." Bubbles told Maria.
Maria was a little scared about leaving her new doll home and was clinging to it.
"What kinda things do you do at recess?" Timmy asked Buttercup. "Do you torture each other?"
"No... We play games." Buttercup explains.
Sakura hummed softly as she made breakfast.
"With wheels, chains, and daggers?" Timmy leaned in with a grin.
"No..." Buttercup says.
"Then what can you do?" Timmy whined.
"Dodgeball." Buttercup grins.
"What's that?" Timmy got interested in that.
"It's a game where you throw a ball, but you have to dodge it and catch it and try and hit the other person with it..." Buttercup explains.
"Cool!" Timmy sounded excited.
Buttercup grinned again.
"I think we're ready." Maria took out her new backpack which was purple.
"I dunno, looks tough..." Richie stared at the homework assignments.
"I can tutor you." Blossom told him with a smile.
Buttercup looked at the pancakes they were made. Sakura smiled at them.
"I guess we're ready." Richie said nervously as they went to get their breakfast.
"Don't worry about it, the first day always seems big and scary at first." Blossom coaxed.
Buttercup waited for the others to come in before she would eat. Sakura served everyone plates of the delicious fluffiness that were the pancakes. The girls and boys smiled at their breakfast.
"What do we say?" Blossom prompted their three guests.
"Oh, right, we almost forgot." Richie said.
"Thank you for having us and making us breakfast." Richie, Maria, and Timmy said at once very politely.
Sakura smiled. "You're welcome, darlings." she says.
Blossom smiled at them for remembering their manners she had taught them. Timmy was wolfing his down.
"Slow down, you'll get a tummy ache!" Bubbles cried.
Buttercup was eating the same as Timmy. Sakura shook her head slightly, amused. Richie was about to eat his own way, but was starting to copy Blossom.
"I'm so excited to try out drawing with chalk today, Saku!" Bubbles looked up happily.
Sakura smiled softly. "Just remember, no doing it on the walls or on people's things." she says, hugging the girl a little, then giving the others a kiss on the top of the head.
"Oh, yes, of course." Bubbles nodded.
Sakura smiled. The kids then quietly ate their breakfast. Ms. Keane might have to retire very early if she had to teach the Rowdyruff Boys, so just Richie, Maria, and Timmy would be in school and Brick, Butch, and Boomer would probably stay at home without a decent education. Sakura thought about teaching the boys herself.
"Didn't they have schools where you guys come from?" Blossom asked.
"I don't think so," Maria shrugged. "We were only taught to be bad and cause trouble... It was fun at first, but after we met Sakura and Him, we kinda felt bad about it."
Sakura hugged Maria then. "Don't worry, darlings." she smiled.
"You called us dumb too." Richie glared at Maria.
"I was just mad." Maria folded her arms, but enjoyed the hug.
"Okay, we all done?" Sakura asks then to break the tension.
After taking a long drink of juice, Buttercup nodded.
"Ready~" Bubbles beamed as she grabbed her backpack, now carrying chalk.
"I'm excited to play this dodgeball game." Timmy grinned.
Buttercup grinned. "Yeah." she says.
Sakura took them to school. Bubbles hummed a little song to herself, Blossom was watching the others fondly, and Bubbles just sat annoyed and had her arms crossed. Sakura was helping out Ms. Keane. The Girls went to the front of the class with their new family members.
"Oh, these must be our new friends," Ms. Keane smiled before class started as she stood with Sakura. "Now, you adopted these children... Where are they from?"
"Halloween Town." Sakura says, she would let them explain if they wanted to.
"Halloween Town?" Ms. Keane blinked. "That's an odd name for a home, but I'm sure they'll be welcomed."
Sakura smiled. Buttercup grinned. The bell then rang.
"Class, we have three new students joining us today," Ms. Keane told her students as she had the three still stand with the Girls. "Everybody meet Richie, Maria, and Timmy."
The three kids looked a little nervous about being part of the class and shyly waved.
"Hello, Richie, Maria, and Timmy!" the students sang.
"They're out niece and nephews." Blossom explained.
"And they come from an awesome town." Buttercup grins.
"Halloween Town!" Bubbles added.
"Does anyone have questions for our three new friends?" Ms. Keane asked warmly.
Sakura looked at the kids, smiling.
One girl raised her hand. "What's Halloween Town?"
"Our old home," Richie answered, rubbing his arm nervously. "Sakura came to visit with the Girls and umm... Well, she just decided to take us as her kids... I guess..."
Sakura smiled.
"How are you Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercups' nieces and nephews?" Mitch asked.
"Uhhh..." the kids drew a blank.
Blossom stood in front of them with a smile. "Okay, you know Sakura is our older sister, right? And we're her sisters, right? Well, they are adopted children by Sakura, so that make us their aunts and since they're her kids, that makes them our niece and nephews."
Sakura nodded.
"Ohhh..." the kids then said.
"Welcome to our school!" Robyn chirped. "I know what it's like to be new."
Maria smiled, she liked this girl so far. Sakura smiled. After more questions, the kids were told to sit down. Richie, Maria, and Timmy looked around for places to sit, the Girls seemed to have their own table. Sakura helped them get situated. The kids smiled at Sakura and joined their new classmates. What an interesting adventure this school thing would be. Sakura helped the children out.
"Now, kids, we usually go home at noon for lunch, this is a morning Kindergarten class, but we do have a snack after nap time and then recess." Ms. Keane told her new students.
"Naps?" Richie spoke up in slight shock. "Are you saying we can sleep in school?"
"Inside voice, Richie." Sakura warns gently, but firmly.
"Sorry." Richie said softly.
"Yes, you can," Ms. Keane told him.
"Yeah, what're ya, stupid or something?" Mitch laughed, which made Blossom shove him, but not in a way to get herself in trouble.
"Mitch..." Sakura warns.
Mitch grumbled. "Whatever."
Ms. Keane sighed at him. "When will this boy ever learn?"
Richie glanced at Mitch, but gave a smile to Blossom, making her blush a little. Sakura looked over everyone. Everyone began to work, after nap and snack time, it was finally time for recess.
