"Rose, didn't we promise mommy and mama Lijda to watch out for Kiwi but she's in the corner playing with blocks and talking to her magical friend, we should encourage her to try some of the awesome things like the jungle gym." Rockie told Rose seeing her nodding because it was a few hours later after their moms had dropped them off.

"Yeah, we did and we should show Kiwi, how fun kindergarten is." Rose replied as they went over to where Kiwi and her magical friend that she could see and hear which was a fairy she named Sora wondering what her cousins wanted, her whiskers twitching nervously hearing the teacher calling them over to the rug for stories.

"It'll be okay Kiwi, you love storytime at home, the classroom is fun and nice." Sora told her.

"Hai but not sure about the other kids, Sora-chan but hope mommy's okay as she looked as scared as me leaving us here." Kiwi mumbled softly getting an idea goi)g to her desk she'd be sharing with Rose and Rockie making the teacher understand, that Kiwi was shy and would take some time to get used to kindergarten making Rose and Rockie sigh feeling they were letting their moms down.

Around pick-up time, Kiwi, Rose and Rockie were still in the classroom, watching other parents picking their classmates up knowing their moms wouldn't forget to get them seeing Kiwi playing dress upgrinning, they loved playing in their dress up armour imagining, playing either Guardians or being New Warriors giggling unaware their parents could hear them, entering thekindergarten room in awe of their cubs seeing them stop.

"See, Casey, Kiwi's fine and looks like she was having fun, like her cousins are." Yoko told Casey seeing Kiwi grin hugging her moms knowing having super-powers like her, they loved her super-strong hugs making Linda smirk as she and Shocket were leaving noticing Rose and Rockie seemed sad makijg Linda and Shocket exchange a look, asking them why.

"We didn't do a good job of looking after Kiwi, she was in the corner with Sora playing with blocks and tried super hard even at storytime, she was co,ouring instead of being with everybody on the rug, we're bad New Warriors." Rose explained to them as Rockie nodded seeing Shocket hug them.

"It's okay as I had a feeling that would happen, Aunt Yoko too but don't give up on her as cubs like her need friends the most, she reminds me of Aunt Emily back then when she had Indigo and she's the president of this planet." Shocket told them seeing them in awe as they returned home by marching which Rose and Rockie loved arriving home at the New Warriors penthouse apartment noticing their aunts and uncles were gone.

"They must've went on a mission, they'll be alright-" Shocket said feeling her comm-bracelet vibrating making Linda anxious seeing Rose and Rockie curious knowing what that meant hearing her telling them to go with Linda into the kitchen as she answered it, hearing her friends needed her, taking a deep-breath going to tell Linda what was happening seeing lots of PB and J knowing if their cubs were distracted, then it was alright like Linda eating lots of cheese as her coping mechanism when she wasn't on a mission with her Shocket.

"Be careful for Groot's sake, I can hold down the fort and know how to handle the girls, go help our friends." Linda said kissing her before she left in her armour making Linda sniffle but had to be a mom right now seeing Rose and Rockie ask if she was sad and wanted cheese or mac and cheese seeing her nodding making herself something for lunch making a big bowl of mac and cheese for herself as it would ease her anxiety over Shocket goingto help the other New Warriors hoping that it wasn't like her going into the multiverse which they'd kept secret from their cubs.

"Mama and I are so happy you guys had a good first day of kindergarten along with being brave compared to Kiwi." Shocket said to both Rose and Rockie after she'd returned from the mission she and the New Warriors had been on way past their bedtime as they had school in the morning and she along with Linda were doing their bedtime routine even though Linda would be up all night knowing Rose and Rockie asked about that which Linda explained was complicated joking she sometimes nibbled on their mom.

"Mama Linda is a vampire-duck so vampire-ducks can stay up all night compared to lil cubs that have kindergarten in the morning." Shocket told them telling them stories about vampire-cubs who stayed up all night having fun and night school which was soothing them into sleep kissing their furry lil heads turning on the night light before leaving them to rest seeing Linda hug her when she joined her in their room taking a relaxing soak in their pond like bath knowing Rose and Rockie loved doijg cannonballs when it was bath time noticing Linda was getting cute and chunky making Shocket smirk.

"Today's been quite a day, our cubs starting kindergarten, then that unexpected mission, were you worrying." Shocket said

"Y-yes I was us against the galaxy, soulmates for life remember." Linda replied to her feeling Shocket hug her which was helping her feel better besides cheese plus she had to be brave for Rose and Rockie which Shocket got knowing things would be okay seeing Yoko inviting Rose and Rockie over for a playdate seeing Linda nodding, guessing Casey and Yoko were helping Kiwi with her social skills
