Chapter 24-First Day of School (Lily)
The next picture was similar to Aiden's picture except, it was Lily and Alice, Tucker's daughter, in front of the school. Lily was wearing a lavender sleeveless dress with a blue headband and blue doll shoes. Alice was wearing a yellow tank top with an orange skirt and yellow sandals. They both had their arms around each other and were smiling broadly.

"Momma, do I have to go?" Lily asked as Sam brushed her hair and placed her headband on it. She looked at her daughter through the mirror and smiled.
"Of course you have to go, Lily." Sam said smiling. Lily made a face before pouting.
"But I don't want to go. There's just gonna be big meanies there." Lily said crossing her arms and looking at Sam who just laughed and sat beside her. She looked at Lily through the mirror before stroking her hair.
"Lily, it's not that bad. Besides, you'll have Alice to go with you. You two could make more friends there like big bro." Sam said smiling. Lily thought for a second before mumbling an "okay" to her mother and going out the door.
"Hey Lily. Ready for your first day of school?" 10 year old Aiden asked as he grabbed his back pack. Lily nodded and went with her brother and father to the car.
"Big bro, is school 'fun'?" Lily asked once they were inside the car. Aiden thought for a second before nodding.
"Yeah. I mean, once I'm with Jay and Court, I have tons of fun." Aiden said smiling. He patted Lily on the head before looking out the window.
"How about you, daddy? Was school fun for you?" Lily asked Danny who was currently driving. He looked at his children from the rear view mirror before smiling.
"Well Lily, when I was in elementary school with your mom and Uncle Tucker, I had tons of fun with them too. But sweetie, you can't always expect school to be 'fun' all the time. Sometimes, it has to be difficult and challenging. Like the bullies for example. And lots of homework. Especially in high school. But don't worry sweetie, you'll understand what I'm talking about once you get older." Danny said smiling warmly at his daughter. Lily only nodded and smiled a little, still feeling nervous. After a short while, they arrived at their destination. Aiden got out of the car first before helping Lily. Danny got out as well and faced his children… well, Lily mostly.
"Don't worry too much about it Lily, you have Alice with you and I'm sure you and her will make new friends." Danny said as he kissed her on the forehead before giving his son a high five.
"Look, there's Jay and Alice now." Danny said pointing to the two children in front of the school with their father.
"Come on, Lily!" Aiden said as he took Lily's hand and they dashed off to meet their friends. Danny smiled and walked towards them.
"Hey Jay! Hey Alice." Aiden said as he high fived his best friend and stroked Alice's hair.
"Hey dude. Hey Lily." Jay said as he patted Lily's head.
"Alice!" Lily said as she hugged her friend. Once Danny got there, he greeted Tucker right away.
"Hey Tuck." Danny said as he and Tucker did their secret handshake.
"Hey man, it's been too long." Tucker said smiling.
"I know right. What do you say that maybe, you, Sam and I could hang out some time? Like we always do when we were teenagers?" Danny asked grinning. Tucker nodded and was about to say something before a little feminine voice interrupted him.
"Aid! Jay!" A girl with shoulder length light brown hair came running towards the two boys. She was wearing a light green shirt and black jeans. She was wearing an orange headband on her head and orange doll shoes. The three of them collided and collapsed in a fit of giggles.
"Oh sorry. Hey Mr. Fenton. Hi Mr. Foley." Courtney greeted with a wave before turning towards the younger girls.
"Hello, Lily. Hi, Alice." She said patting their head.
"Hey, Courtney." Both girls said at the same time before giggling.
"What are you so excited about, Court?" Aiden asked. Jay giggled.
"What else? She's excited to see you!" Jay said before making kissy noises that were soon stopped when Courtney elbowed him in the stomach. Aiden laughed before turning towards his dad.
"Told you she's tough." He said. Danny and Tucker exchanged glances before smirking.
"Looks like there's a new pair of lovebirds now." Tucker whispered making Danny laugh. He then turned to the children.
"Alright, off you go. You don't want to be late for school. Especially these little girls over here." Danny said pointing towards Lily and Alice who grinned.
"Alright, bye daddy! Bye Lily." Aiden said as he hugged his father and kissed Lily's forehead before joining his friends.
"Race 'ya guys there!" Courtney said as she dashed off with Aiden and Jay following close behind.
"Bye daddy, love you." Lily said as she hugged Danny's leg before she and Alice ran off towards the school.
"Bye kids…"

Danny smiled. When Lily got home, she wouldn't stop talking about her first experience of school with Alice. She even mentioned that they met new friends named Jake and Cassandra. When Danny told Sam about Aiden and Courtney, Sam smirked before patting her son's head who blushed a light shade of pink.
Danny smiled before proceeding to the next page.
