The door to the classroom swung open, as a small girl stepped into the room. She carried a stack of boxes that were taller than here, as she struggled to carry them.
Mrs. Rose realized that she was having troubles grabbing these, as she was cleaning up a mess that had occurred from knocking over one of her glass figures from her desk. "Desmond, dear, will you help Penny with the juice?" she asked.
The little boy lifted himself out of his seat, walking towards her. He was rather shy compared to the other children, but with no doubts, rather polite.
"Let me help ya out there, sista'" he offered, taking several boxes from her.
From behind the boxes, the girl was short but pretty. Or at least to Desmond. She had long, but not too long, blond hair with shining blue eyes.
"Why thank you!" she replied, smiling warmly. Desmond glanced around as he began to walk towards the cubbies closet.
"So you brought Arthur Juicy Juice, eh?" he remarked, seeing the little aardvark with the glasses smiling up at him.
"Oh, yes! My daddy says its 100 real juice!" she insisted. He nodded his head in response.
"Aye. Did you know he's an aardvark?" he questioned, as he set down the box in the corner.
"No, I didn't," she replied, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.
"Yes, they eat ants! Kind of like my Mum's vacuum," he stated, as he waved his arm around as though sucking up invisible ants.
"Want a Juicy Juice?" she offered, handing him a tiny carton from the box. He nodded vigorously, as they each took one.
"I'm Penny Widmore, by the way," she introduced as she handed the box to him. He smiled as he ripped the straw away from the box.
"I'm Desmond Hume," he replied, as they sat down to have a drink.
Meanwhile, Ben and Juliet were planning revenge against their adversary…Kate Austen. They had decided to advantage of 'coloring time', as they drew scribbles on the back of the paper with crayons.
"You see, I'll distract Kate from the front, and then you can come from the back. And while I distract her, you hit her from the back with the blue foam bat! IT'S GENIUS, GENIUS, GENIUS!" he crowed.
The rest of the class gazed over at him with fear, as Ben shrunk back into his seat. Juliet patted him on the back with sympathy, as she gave the group a glare.
"Maybe we should plan next time more quietly…" she remarked, as he gave a small nod.
He continued his plan. "I will distract her during free time…We'll have to distract those two boys…Her…FRIENDS…" he sat back thoughtfully.
Juliet gave an evil grin. "What if we told them that Kate was hurt on the playground?" she recommended.
Ben tapped his chin in deep thought. "That might work… Excellent, my minion."
Free time had rolled around, and Jack was busy building an army with Sayid and Shannon.
Jack set up his army soldiers, hastily ready to play. Sayid shook his head, as he rolled his eyes.
"No, no, Jack. The enemy will cut straight through the ranks if you do that. Shannon, will you hand me that mini bat over there?" the small boy asked.
Shannon obliged, bringing it over to him. "Here you go, Sayid," she replied, smiling lovingly at the boy.
Sayid blushed warmly, as he took the little bat and placed it into the army man's hand. Just then, Claire came running up to Jack.
"JACK! JACK! Kate's missing! Someone said she ran out to playground and got hurt! You've got to go find her, you're the doctor!" she insisted, almost out of breath because of the run.
Charlie was close behind her, as he placed a hand on her arm. "Slow down there, luv," he said, trying to get her to calm down. It wasn't healthy for a baby, or at least, that's what he heard his Mummy say.
Jack leapt up immediately, dashing towards the playground. He was determined to help her, no matter the cost. He glanced nearby, seeing Sawyer running close behind.
"Did ya hear that Freckles was hurt?" he panted frantically, looking worried much to Jack's surprise.
"Yeah! You go that way and I'll go this way!" he explained, as they ran separate directions. Meanwhile, Ben walked up behind Kate, who was playing quietly in the corner alone.
"Hello Katherine," he greeted, scaring the unaware girl.
Kate's eyes grew wide. "Hi…" she said uncertainly. "Where's Sawyer and Jack?"
"Why Sawyer first?" he asked coolly, sending shivers down her spine.
Kate stared confusedly at him, unable to figure out what he meant. "Huh?"
Just then, out of nowhere, Juliet came out and whacked Kate on the head. Kate yelped, as she rubbed her head in pain.
"Hey, you made me get an owie!" she growled, fighting back tears. Getting an owie was NOT pleasant.
Juliet whacked her repeatedly, that is, until two boys ran in their direction.
"Hey, get off 'er!" Sawyer yelled, as Jack brought up the rear. The boy pushed Ben over, as Jack began giving him the 'beat down'.
Juliet rushed forward to hit Sawyer with the bat, but the boy was by far more clever. He caught the bat, hitting her over the head with it.
Kate scrambled back, watching her best friends beating her attackers. Within a few moments, it was all over. Jack walked over to her, checking her head.
"Are you okay?" he asked sweetly. Sawyer stood back, knowing to give her a little bit of space after being whacked over the head. Not to mention he had to nurse his own injuries.
Jack gazed back at Sawyer. "Could you go get some ice? It might help Kate's boo boo," he recommended.
Sawyer nodded, racing over to get the ice from Desmond.
Kate whimpered, as she gazed up at Jack. "It's a bad owie…" she whispered.
Jack nodded. "I…could kiss it like my Mommy does to my boo boos," he offered.
"Okay…" she replied with a smile, as he gently kissed her forehead.
"All better?" he questioned.
"All better."
