Moments after Sherlock got into the car, Sherly unlocked her door and came out. Mary thanked her as Sherlock stood next to John.
"What did you tell her?"John asked as Mary introduced Sherly to her teacher. Sherlock shrugged.
"I just told her why school is important," Sherlock answered with a sigh before getting back into the car. John looked around, confused.
"There's no way she would have gone in there if you told her why school is important from your point of view," John informed, keeping the door open. Sherlock rolled his eyes and stuck his head out the window.
"That's because I didn't tell her why I thought school was important. I told why she might think school is important," Sherlock answered, looking up at Watson. "I told her about all the friends she would make and all the laughing and show and tell."
"You told her about show and tell?" John inquired, hinting at a smile. Sherlock shrugged.
"I needed her to go to school so that you could help me on a case. Of course I told her about show and tell," Sherlock replied shortly, nearly making John laugh.
"Was that your favorite part of primary school?" John whispered, looking around again. Sherlock sighed irritably.
"Maybe," he muttered, folding his arms. John straightened and smiled, trying to keep from laughing. He could just imagine a little five year old Sherlock bringing in a snake or something into the classroom, spilling details about the snake as all the girls screamed and the boys marveled. Soon, Mary came up to the car, glancing at the two.
"You ready to go?" she asked as Sherlock nodded.
"What took you so long?" he asked as she slipped in the driver's seat.
"Good to know you were having fun," she teased as her husband got in the car and they drove to Sherlock's newest crime scene.
