~The Young Stark~

"Oh my gosh! It's Kaycee Stark!" Kaycee heard someone say. She was finally able to convince her father to let her go to the mall by herself, but of course Happy had to tag along. Happy was currently sitting outside the clothing store she was in.

Kaycee turned around just in time to see three girls her age walking with a fast pace towards her. Kaycee folded the graphic tee that she was looking at and sat it down on the table.

"Hi!" The first brunette girl grinned.

"Um, hi." Kaycee said nervously.

"OMG! You are so pretty!" The second brunette girl said. "Just like in the magazines."

"Uh, I- thanks." Kaycee smiled. These girls were actually really nice. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to make friends after all…

"So do you know Justin Bieber or Chris Evans?" The blonde girl asked.

That confused Kaycee, why would she ask that? So she just shook her head with an innocent look on her face and said "I'm sorry, I don't know them."

"Forget those two," the first brunette girl said. "Can we meet your dad? He's actually pretty cute!"

Kaycee's eyes widened. She opened and closed her mouth quite a few times, not knowing what to say. She finally chose what to say after a minute of silence. "I'm sorry, I-I have to go."

With that, she rushed out of the store and found Happy sitting in a chair, playing with his phone. He looked up and saw her strange and uncomfortable expression.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "You look a little shaken up."

"I-I'm fine. Can we go?" she grabbed his arm, pulled him to his feet and led them out of the mall.

~The Young Stark~

Just thinking about that memory made Kaycee's face flush with embarrassment. She never wanted to feel that way around kids her own age ever again.

After she had that disagreement with Tony, she'd ran to her room and hadn't come out since. Instead, she spent the time resting on her bed, thinking about all those awkward situations with other teens.

"Arghhh!" she groaned loudly. "I'm so awkward!" Kaycee lifted the purple pillow up from next to her and covered her face.

Two minutes later, a soft knock came from the bedroom door. Kaycee fought against getting up and answering the door, so instead she just laid in bed and called out "Who is it?"

"It's your kind, loving father who wishes to apologize!" Tony replied from the other side of the door. He honestly felt awful about the argument only thirty minutes ago.

"Come in," her muffled voice announced. Tony opened the door slowly prepared to see his little girl sitting on her bed with tears streaming down her face, but instead she was laying down with a pillow covering her face.

Tony closed the door behind him and approached his daughter carefully, taking a seat next to her. "I'm sorry about the whole school situation. I know how much you want to go to school and make new friends. I guess I'm just afraid of those kids just wanting to be your friend because you're just famous or rich."

"It's okay." Kaycee said shortly after. She finally removed the pillow from her face and sat up. "I guess I'm just over reacting."

"Nah," Tony wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "you have every right to. I mean at your age you want to have friends to go to parties with and hang out.

Kaycee smiled. "You know most parents don't really want their kids to go to parties with their friends."

"Well unlike most parents, I'm a fun parent." her father responded.

"Awww I love you dad." She smiled and hugged her dad.

"I love you too, squirt." he replied, returning the hug. The two of them stayed like that for a few seconds until Tony pulled away and stood up.

"Do you want to come back down stairs? I just signed the company over to Pepper and the notary, Natalie, pretty much kicked Happy's ass." He chuckled, heading towards the door.

"Nah- I'm good." she said. "Wait, you signed over the company to Peps without me?"

Tony just shrugged. "I wanted to give you some time to ," he thought for the right word. "recover? No, no calm down."

"O…kay? Oh are we still up for Monaco?" she asked hopefully.

"Yep, you bet!" he said just before he left the room.

~The Young Stark~

The next day Kaycee, Tony, Pepper and Happy were on their way to the Monaco Grand Pix. Kaycee loved going to Monaco, it was always just so fun. Her father entered his own car into the race every year so she had a good bet against Happy that they would win. For some reason, he had his doubts.

On the plane ride, Kaycee was sitting next to Pepper, who looked extremely nervous.

"You okay Peps?" Kaycee asked a bit concerned.

"Yeah," Pepper replied. "Just a bit… nervous."

"Don't worry, there won't be too many reporters."

"That's not what I'm worried about, its just the first time I've been in public since your father signed over the company and oh my god I am psyching myself out!"

"Oh just breath and you'll be just fine." Tony took a seat across from the two. "Just smile and introduce yourself, not that hard."

"Easy for you to say," Pepper mumbled.

After a few minutes of silence, Kaycee finally spoke. "Um I was just curious… what was high school like for you guys?"

"High school?" Tony asked. Kaycee nodded.

"Well it was high school," Pepper answered. "Nothing too great, especially since I was probably the biggest nerd there and everyone called me names and…I refuse to finish…"

Kaycee felt bad for Pepper. She wasn't a nerd, just really smart compared to the other kids. Maybe it was a good thing she didn't attend school.

"I remember being your age," Happy jumped in. "I hated being your age. Everyone made fun of me because my parents were stupid enough to name me 'Happy'."

Happy too? Now Kaycee felt even worse…

"Well…" Tony started. "Everyone loved me. I was like the coolest and probably the youngest kid there!"

Pepper and Kaycee face palmed. "Of course everyone loved you Tony! You were always throwing parties and was the richest kid there!" Pepper said.

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked…." Kaycee said.

A/N: Yes, I am ending it there. Don't worry I have plans for the next chapter haha Let's just say the action will begin. Anyways, please review!
