So, after thinking long and hard, I have decided to update N.A.G.P. I don't really know how I'm going to go about this. I just know that I want to do better and you guys giving me reviews are one of the best ways, so keep that in mind. Also, I have changed the lore ('lore') around a tiiiiiinnnnnnnyyyyy bit. Anyway, enjoy the new, updated, N.A.G.P. Also, warning, new semi-dark backstory for Ender ahead.

New Chance

RIIIIIINNNNGGGG! RIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

A hand slapped down on the annoying alarm clock, silencing it. The child groaned and rolled out of bed. There was a perk to waking up so early; don't have to wait for siblings to get out of the bathroom. Daniel, Or 'Ender' as he called himself, stepped inside of the bathroom, for the third time this week, without a line. It was essentially heaven right now for him. After doing all his… necessities (by God, this is already cringe/ trash), he stepped back into his room, throwing on jeans, in freaking summer, might I add, and his black and purple hoodie, again, in summer. He stepped back into the bathroom to check his hair.

"Have to reapply soon," Ender said as he ran his hand through his almost entirely blonde hair. Ender took a moment to just stare at his reflection. He was just a kid who didn't want school to start. He wasn't special. He was the quiet kid, the loner, only a small friend group. He liked his… well, school life, yes. Home life? Not so much. Ender walked downstairs, quietly, trying to get as much alone time with his adopted mother as possible before his siblings woke up. He stepped downstairs and into the kitchen, where his mom (I'm not saying adopted mother every time) was cooking up a quick breakfast.

"Hey sweetie, how'd you sleep?" Ender's mom asked as he came over to hug her real quick.

"Fine. Although didn't get to sleep until like, twelve because of Jim." Jim was Ender's foster 'dad'. While Ender loved his mom, he did not like his dad. His dad was a drunkard and ran loud Poker games six out of the seven days of the week. Another reason was, well, it's better rather not put into words. But I think you understand.

"Aww, I know sweetie, but only a little while longer, then we can move to the house I have set up." Ender's mom said in an attempt to cheer him up. Now, this was music to his ears. A house where he and his siblings didn't have to deal with Jim. Ender couldn't wait. He had completely forgotten all about it. Ender nodded then turned to the "Poker Table", where there were beer bottles and leftover cards from last night. Ender grabbed a trash bag and walked over. This is what he did every morning, even though not a responsibility. He cleaned up from last night's poker game. It usually took a minute, but this time, Ender decided to just… slow down and think. Think about his life so far. He thought about how he always took his sibling's punishment, instead of them. Sometimes, he volunteered to take the punishment, other times, it just happened because he was older. It was a short think time (and really that was only used for some non-useful exposition) as even when he went slowly, he finished quickly.

"Also, sweetie, I have one more surprise for you." Ender's mom had snuck up behind his back and was pulling something out from behind her back. She pulled out an envelope with a very familiar seal to Ender. It was a circle with two slashes, one horizontally, one vertically. Ender's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. After the shock, came the tears of happiness. Ender started jumping up and down with his fists in the air. He hugged his mom and broke open the letter.

Dear Mr. Anderson,

We, the staff at Nintendo Gaming Academy, formally invite you to attend schooling here until your graduating year of High School. You will be learning among some of the best and most notable gamers out there alongside you. Do not take this offer lightly.

-MH

Ender read the letter over and over; so much that he could repeat the letter in his head without looking at it. Suddenly, he flew into his mom's arms and gave her a huge hug.

"Hahaha, you can't go without knowing how to get there, there's more, silly." Ender's mom said then ruffled Ender's hair. Ender pulled out the other papers in the envelope, the schedule and map of the school. He flipped over the letter to read if there was anything on the back.

Meet us at your front lawn by 10:00 AM sharp on the first day of school. A chaperone will be there to pick you up. We hope to see you this school year.

Ender shook his head to get it out of the clouds. He was going to the best gaming academy in the world!

"Mommy? What's going on? Why is Bro-bro crying?" One of Ender's siblings, Amanda, had come down the steps with her twin brother Adam in tow. They were two of the nicest in the house and often helped Ender keep the others under control. Well, sometimes. Most times Ender just let them go ahead and play with his other siblings… I'm getting off-topic, aren't I? Uh, ignoring that, back to the present.

"He's crying tears of joy." Ender's mom hopped up and down a few times, on the verge of crying herself. Ender wiped away his tears and turned to his siblings. In Ender's house, everyone was a gamer, so when Ender showed his siblings his letter, their jaws hit the floor.

"Oh my gosh," Both twins said in unison.

Later

Ender lay in his bed, tossing and turning. The first day of school was tomorrow and the chaperone was also supposed to be here tomorrow. Ender sat up and read his clock. It read: 2:00 AM. Ender flopped back on his bed and tried to block out all his thoughts. It actually worked, and he woke up six hours later to the second time for his alarm clock. He got ready and packed some final necessities before heading downstairs where his mom and siblings had prepared a large going-away breakfast. They sat down, talked, and celebrated, for two hours until the bus came. Okay, they started cleaning up right before the bus came, but you get the idea (I got to stop breaking the fourth wall, this is a third-person POV story). The bus squealed to a stop right in front of their front yard. They heard a knock on their door, which Ender's mom opened for him. A tall, green-haired lady in a white and red dress stood at the door with a pleasant smile on her face.

"Hello, you must be Mrs. Anderson." The tall lady said, holding out a hand to shake. Ender's mom slowly took it and shook it.

"My name is Mrs. Palutena, and I'll be your son's… sandbox teacher. I just wanted to introduce myself to you personally and tell you all about the wonderful things that Ender will do at our school." Palutena continued to talk to Ender's mom, giving Ender a moment to grab his bags. He stood behind his mom as he waited for Mrs. Palutena to finish speaking. Finally, she noticed Ender.

"Oh, and you must be Ender. I must say, it's a pleasure to meet you." Palutena held out her hand to shake yet again and Ender hesitantly took it.

"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Anderson. Ender, I'll give you and your family a moment. I can take your bags." Mrs. Palutena held out her hand and Ender placed his backpack in her outstretched hand. He also rolled his suitcase over to Mrs. Palutena, who then began to walk back towards the small bus that seemed to be full of kids. Ender turned around to his family, who were all trying not to cry. Ender pulled his mom into a hug and slowly, one by one, his siblings pulled in for a large group hug. After a long time, they pulled out and Ender wiped away the tears that had been shed. He then turned to the second oldest, Jack, who was nine at the time. Ender knelt down to eye level.

"Hey, you'll look after mom and everyone else right?" Ender asked. Jack nodded.

"Just don't volunteer for punishment. I don't want you going through it." Ender whispered. Jack nodded again, getting teary-eyed. He saluted Ender then hugged him once more. Ender smiled and pulled out from the hug. He stood back up and wiped away his tears. He smiled at his family one last time then walked towards the bus, entering it and giving his family one last wave goodbye before the door closed.

Whoa, that was a long chapter. I know, crappy cliffhanger, but I just wanted to end this cause it's getting long. I will try to update every week, but this week will just be fast uploads just to get this prologue out of the way. Uh, review below and tell me how you feel about this new NAGP and give me suggestions. I think this one will be Rated T, just to be safe. I doubt there will be cursing but there will be possible mention of alcohol and booze (I'm looking at you teenagers Peach and Daisy), but I'll always warn you guys about that stuff beforehand. Anyway, see ya guys, Peace.
