AN: Thanks for your reviews Emily, G-Matt, and MadTom. I really enjoyed the positive response, you could say I've been feeling author concious at the moment. There are so many wonderful BtT fanfics and I didn't think any of mine would measure up. Pretty stupid thought though. Anyway, let the story begin. Oops, forgot to mention that yes, I know the chapters are short, but I'll hopefully be updating very frequently.

The Fastest Kid In The Fifth Grade
Leslie was feeling bored. Watching the girls play hopscotch was not one of her favourite pass-times. She was sitting on a fallen log outside of Lark Creek Elementary School. Leslie looked over to where a group of boys were huddled in a group talking. She ran over to listen in and maybe talk to that boy that was staring at her earlier. "Everyone in a line!" a boy barked. Everyone did what he said. Funny how they do everything he says. I bet if he told them to jump off a bridge they would, Leslie thought as she lined-up behind the staring boy. "Hey, what's this big race about?" Leslie asked him.
"Hu, wha..?"
"The race, duh."
"Oh. It's just a race."
"Just a race? What's the big deal then?" Leslie asked.
"Hey! New girl!" the big guy yelled, Leslie didn't even twitch, "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Leslie turned her head, looking amused, "This race is only for guys!"
"What'sa matter Hoager, 'fraid a girl's gonna beatcha?" The boy said. Yeah, he is. You wanna see me run, you're gonna see me fly, Leslie said to herself. That seemed enough for Hoager. He settled back down. "GO" The whole world was struggling to keep up with Leslie. She made it past all the younger boys. Wow, that kid sure is fast... She passed the bully, Hoager, then was at a tie with the shy kid. He had no chance against her long, even strides; she passed him by about two feet. Leslie turned around to watch as all the boys stopped and fell to the ground, huffing and puffing. She bent down and talked to the boy, "Hey, it's Jess, right?" A little girl about three years younger than herself had settled herself beside Jess. The girl looked at Leslie scornfully, and she helped Jess up. They walked away. What did I do?
