A/N: I just wanna say that I think when they were younger, Jo wasn't always the brightest kid. But that wasn't entirely her fault. I don't think Kai told her that he got beat by their father. If he had, I think she'd have been more careful. Tried to help him and prevent the beatings from happening. But because she didn't know, she sometimes did something that would get Kai into trouble, which was result in Joshua Parker beating his son. And I don't like thinking that their father beat Kai, but I get the feeling he did. I mean Kai said that his father treated him like crap for 22 years. I'm sure he was emotionally abused, but I think he was also physically abused.

It was September 6th, 1977 and it was the twins first day of kindergarten. Kai and Jo shared a room. Their mother; Michelle was pregnant again, only about two weeks. She had Kai, Jo, and Nicole. Nickie was only 4 months old. Oh how, Michelle prayed that this time she'd have twins.

She didn't know how much more of this she could take. By the time she had this baby or these babies, she'd have 4 or 5 children. More than she ever wanted. All she wanted was a girl and a boy, which she had. Speaking of her twins, she was supposed to wake them up and get them ready for their first day of school.

Mrs. Parker went upstairs to the twins' room. Quietly she walked over to the bunk bed and said, "Hey. You guys gotta wake up. You have school." The twins only rolled over and groaned. Kai's eyes opened first and he said, "Can I sleep in school?" Then, Jo sat up and rubbed her eyes. "I don't fink so, Kai." Michelle told them that there would be nap time in school. And that made both Josette and Malachai happy. They were excited and scared. They wished their mommy could go to school with them. Or at least Jo did. Kai didn't really care. He wanted to go show all the kids that he and his sister were witches, but he knew they couldn't not really anyway. If they did, their daddy would hurt them. Jo climbed out of bed and told Kai to do the same. He started climbing down the stairs of the bed. He had gotten the top bunk bed. Jo said she was too scared of the height. So she had chosen the bottom.

Their mother went to pick out clothes for both twins. She picked a blue dress for Josette and a blue beret for her hair to match her blue eyes. And for Malachai she picked a grey and blue striped t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a black belt to match his grey-blue eyes. She helped them get dressed and then told them to go brush their teeth. The twins went into the bathroom and started to fight over who'd get the stool first seeing as neither was tall enough to reach their toothbrushes. Mama Parker said sternly, "Stop fighting." She ended up brushing both twins' teeth for them. After, they went downstairs and she made them pancakes and eggs. They ate their breakfast and had a glass of orange juice to go with it. Their mother helped them put on their shoes and gave them each their backpacks. Jo's was light blue with princesses on it and Kai's was a darker blue with superheroes on it. Michelle carried Nickie with her as she walked them to the bus stop, which was just at the end of the street and waited for the bus to come before going home.

At school:

Kai and Jo arrived to the elementary school safely. Jo made a friend on the bus, her name was Carolyn. She just so happened to be in Kai and Jo's class. Kai still had only talked to Jo. He was lacking friends. Come on, Jo. Do you really gotta do that? Kai thought. He was kinda jealous that she had already made a friend and they hadn't even gotten to their classroom yet. Once they finally found the classroom they put their book bags down and sat down in their assigned seats. Thankfully, for Kai and Jo theirs were right next to each other. "I'm Mrs. Williams, I'll be your teacher and friend for the next 10 months. I'd like to think we're going to have a lot of fun together and make some new friends. So I thought, we'd start by introducing ourselves and telling a fun fact or two about each other. Doesn't that sound fun?" She said cheerfully trying to get the children excited. Not that she really needed to, after all, they were kindergartners so of course they were excited. They went in alphabetical order, not that they really knew that, but they'd learn. When she got to Josette, Jo didn't really know what to say so she just said the first thing that came to mind, which was "I'm Jo Parker and I'm a witch." Of course, Mrs. Williams thought she was joking. And then Kai's eyes widen. Josette, you can't say that! Kai freaked out on the inside but his demeanor remained calm. And then, he said "I'm Kai Parker. And I like the Hulk 'cause he destroys things." After that, he turned to Jo and whispered, "You're gonna get us in trouble with Daddy." He didn't want to get beat by his father because of Jo. She didn't know what she'd done wrong. She never did. And she'd never get in trouble for it either. It was always Kai getting in trouble for the stuff Jo did. Like, announcing they were witches to their whole class. Josette would never get in trouble for it. Nope, it's like, she's immune to getting in trouble. It's not fair. Kai thought to himself. She never gets beat by Daddy, but I always do.

Later that day:

Josette and Malachai Parker were playing with legos when Carolyn and Robert came over. "Are you really a witch?" Robert asked curiously. Kai turned and said, "No. Now leave us alone." "But why would-" Carolyn got cut off by Kai. "She just finks she is. Now bye." Kai said rudely. And he wondered why he couldn't make any friends. Then, Jo being Jo said, "Sorry 'bout him. He's mean. Stay and play wif us. I'll even show you my powers." That's it, Kai wasn't letting her reveal her magic. He grabbed her arm and started to drain her magic. There, now she couldn't….oops. He realized that he just revealed the one thing they weren't supposed to reveal. Jo hissed in pain and pulled her arm out of Kai's grasp. "Kai! That hurt." She whined. Mrs. Williams came over to see why Jo was upset. She bent down to Jo's level and said sweetly, "What's wrong, sweetie?" She wasn't expecting the answer she got from the four kids. Robbie answered casually, "He hurt her wif magic!" Carolyn jumped in and added, "Yeah! His hand glowed and everything!" Oh no. Kai and Jo would be in big trouble later. Luckily, Mrs. William didn't believe them or so they hoped. "Are you okay now, Jo or do you wanna go down to nurse?" She asked. Jo was fine now. "No. I'm okay." Jo said. Kai wanted to kill Carolyn and Robert. Didn't they know how much trouble he'd get in if his dad found out? No. They didn't. But he still wanted to kill them. He would try to one day when no one was watching. Oh, he'd certainly try, but not today. Today would be too obvious. He would wait until they didn't expect it. He smirked an evil smirk that would become a very familiar look on his face.

After school:

The twins arrived home and their father was waiting for them with a look that could kill. His arms were crossed. Oh no. He knows. I'm gonna get a beating. Kai was scared. He wanted to run in the opposite direction. Instead Joshua Parker's death glare faded as he saw the twins. He opened his arms and the twins ran into his arms. "How was your first day of kindergarten?" He asked as he put Kai and Jo down. The twins answered in unison, " Good." "That's good." Papa Parker said. And they left it at that. Then, the Parker family had a quiet dinner together. The twins were tired so after dinner they took a bath and went to sleep after a long day.
