Hello, everyone!

"Good luck, Stephanie!" Jesse called, waving goodbye to his niece as she followed DJ out the front door.

"Have fun!" Ashley added.

The door shut behind the two girls, and Danny glanced between his brother in law, friend, and oldest daughter.

"I'm glad that's over," Danny breathed.

"I still remember DJ's first day of school. She was fine, but Danny, Pam, and even Ashley had identical breakdowns," Jesse laughed.

"At least Stephanie didn't freak out. When I had my first day of school, I clung to my mom's leg for an hour!" Joey exclaimed.

As if on cue, the door opened, and Stephanie Tanner stepped inside.

"I've changed my mind!" she yelled, her voice thick with apprehension and unshed tears. "I'm not going!"

Jesse and Joey blinked in surprise, but Ashley had almost expected this. She knew her little sister like the back of her hand, and she knew that Stephanie, despite her seemingly bullet proof excitement and confidence, wouldn't be able to attend to school without at least a small case of first day of school jitters.

Stephanie plopped herself down on the steps leading away from the door, and Jesse raised an eyebrow.

"Why don't you want to go?" He asked.

"I'm sick," Stephanie lied.

"You don't look sick," Joey pointed out.

"But I am," Stephanie said before giving a weak and obviously fake cough.

"Come on," Joey chuckled. "If you're going to fake being sick, at least do it right," he said before turning his lips in and hacking into his fist. Stephanie mimicked him. "Yeah, really hack. Now, you're getting it!"

DJ rushed back inside and said, "Steph, we're going to miss the- are you okay?" She exclaimed upon seeing her sister's imitation of a sick person.

"Now, you're tricking people!" Joey laughed, although he was still worried about Stephanie's anxiety about school and her refusal to go to Kindergarten.

"You go ahead, Deej," Ashley told her. "I'll drive Stephanie."

DJ, a little confused, nodded. She obviously wanted to ask more questions, but if Ashley had to pick the one thing that she admired about DJ the most, DJ Tanner knew how to pick her battles. If she continued to press you on something, it must be important to her.

"Stephanie, you need to go to school," Danny said, sternly, after DJ left.

Stephanie sighed before shaking her head, her anxiety written clearly across her face.

"Stephanie, once you get there, it won't be so bad," their dad added.

Stephanie shook her head again.

Ashley stepped forward and nodded at her father.

"I've got this, Dad," she whispered.

Her father had complete trust in Ashley when it came to discipline, so he took a step back and leaned against the couch beside Joey and Jesse.

"Steph," Ashley said, kneeling down in front of her little sister. "I'm going to tell you a story, okay?"

Stephanie's eyes sparkled with interest.

"Five-almost-six year old Ashley Tanner woke up on August tenth like so many other kids, ready for her first day of school. She thought she could do it; she was so excited, but the minute she grabbed her lunch box, the first day of school jitters caught up to her. She started sobbing, wailing, and her father freaked out a little, but her mother… her mother was very calm about it. She knelt on the floor and do you want to know what she told Ashley Tanner?"

Stephanie leaned forward, wanting to hear more.

"She said… 'baby girl, today is a big step for you, and coming from someone who has taken a lot of big steps in their life, big steps are scary. You're afraid of falling flat on your face, just like I am when I take big steps. But the truth is… I never regretted taking those big steps because if I hadn't taken some very big steps, I never would've married your father and you wouldn't be here.'

"Steph, there are going to be some scary things in this life, but sometimes the best things can be born from the scariest ones. If you go to school today, twenty years from now, you could own the most successful business in all of San Francisco. You could meet your future husband at school. You could meet your best friend. But the thing is… you won't know until you get there, will you?

"Steph, I will stay with you today, and I won't leave your side until you say I can. I promise."

Stephanie smiled.

"Will you go to school?" Ashley asked.

Stephane nodded. "Yeah!"

Jesse gaped. "How did she-"

Danny shrugged. "Ashley always knows what to do when it comes to discipline. She can get DJ to clean her room; she can get Stephanie to do the dishes; she can even get Michelle to eat her food instead of spitting it up all over the place… most of the time, anyway."

"She has a gift," Joey added.

"Besides, Kindergarten will be easy!" Stephanie exclaimed. "I already know my alphabet and how to write my name and I can read a few of those books on my bookshelf. Not all of them, but DJ's helping me to learn how to read the rest of them."

Ashley stared at her sister with raised eyebrows. A five year old that can read a book from cover to cover?

Ashley grinned.

Ashley Tanner speaking. I love all of my siblings, but I know that Stephanie will be the one to truly reach for the stars. I know DJ and Michelle will have good lives. They'll have families, careers, and they'd have ultimately great lives…

But Stephanie would be the one to truly make it. She'd make her mark on the world, make a name for herself, go down in history. I believe that with my whole heart.
