A/N: Sorry I made you guys wait 2 whole days. I was busy, and yesterday I started a new story! If you want to read it you can find it on my page. It has nothing to do with this fic. Anyway, this chapter is skipping ahead one week to Sherlock's first day of his second year of school! We meet John! Go on, cheer, I know you want to. Thing about John... I decided to make him a fourth grader. Sorry if it's confusing. It fits the story better. Disclaimer: I might have to move this to my summary, it gets depressing knowing that I have no money.

Sherlock woke up, and this time, instead of bouncing out of bed, he slowly got up and slowly got dressed into a polo shirt and jeans. Not the most normal look for a six year old, but then again, Sherlock wasn't normal, not even to his family, not yet. He would show them. He could be just as smart as the rest of his family.

The first day of school was a day where the boys took tests to determine their skill level. (A/N: I know, not normal. But I wanted him to prove he was smart.) Sherlock had crammed an impressive amount of knowledge into his mind palace in the short space of one week. As he walked into the school, he both saw and observed. Anderson was trying to hide the fact that his parents had inherited a lot of money which allowed him to continue attending the school. Sally was trying to hide that she had a rather large crush on her year-mate, Greg Lestrade. And Greg himself had traveled over the summer to an island, perhaps Hawaii? Greg waved at Sherlock even though there was a four-year age gap. Greg was on of the few people who could keep up with Sherlock, or at least he had been able to. Maybe that would change.

As Sherlock deduced summers, he also scanned for another friendly face, which he did not see. John Watson, Sherlock's other friend, had become so after protecting him from bullies that thought the smart six year would be fun to pick on. They had run away with black eyes and broken noses doled out by John. After that, no one dared to bully Sherlock, at least not when they knew John Watson was around.

Four bullies, all eight years old, looked around cautiously before stepping up to Sherlock. "Hey smarty-pants." one of them called. "Where's your friend? Did he finally leave because he couldn't stand you anymore? Or did he tell you he was going to meet you today?" Sherlock panicked for a second, but only on the inside. Greg usually would have said something by now if he'd noticed, and there was no way he couldn't have noticed. The whole yard was silent, holding it's breath. Sherlock glimpsed at Greg, who was sitting back, a smile on his face. Apparently Sherlock had lost one friend. He turned to face the bullies and saw why Greg was grinning, and smiled a little himself. "Hey, dork, we're talking to you! Don't smile! You have no right to smile! No one is gonna save you now!" The boy who seemed to be the ringleader smirked as one of his cronies talked for him.

A new voice entered. "Is that so? Boy, did I just waste my energy, sending your two henchman fleeing then, didn't I, Jim?" James Moriarty and Sebastian Moran turned to see their worst nightmare, John Watson, staring at them. Now it was John's turn to smirk. "Why don't you two run along now, those are good boys." Jim and Sebastian tucked tail and ran, not wanting to face John, whose father had served in the army. John knew how to punch so that it hurt the victim and not him. It was one of the first things he had learned from his dad. (A/N: No, he didn't learn it from experience. Bad children. Shame on you for thinking that.)

"Are you all right, Sherlock? They didn't touch you, did they?" Sherlock shook his head and almost hugged John, until he remembered that he wanted to be Spock. "Thank you, John." He said it crisply, afraid that if he said it any other way he would break down everything he'd built. Luckily John didn't catch it. He smiled. "Good."
