Chapter 01: The new student
A/N: Hi, I've been watching Bluey for a short while now and I'm very interested in the life of that little energetic blue heeler girl. So I started reading fanfictions of that show, too. In this fic I introduced a new character. She and her family will be the only OC's I'm going to fit into the world. Have fun reading!
It was a sunny morning in Glasshouse Primary School. Suddenly we hear a voice ringing through the building. „Children, come here, please." It was Calypso's voice. The kids gathered around their teacher to listen what she has to say. It was unusual that she gathered them after all. „I want to tell you, that we are going to get a new student today. She's going to be here soon. I'd like you to be nice to her for she's new in the neighborhood and that's why she doesn't have friends here yet." She shouldn't have told them for now there was no chance of listening from the children. „What will she be like?" „Do you think she likes to play family?" „What kind of breed do you think she will be?" That's some of the questions you could be hearing if you were there. But that's not the question a certain blue heeler has going through her mind. 'Will she be liking me? Who am I kidding. She has to. Well, as long as I'm not going to be to difficult to play with.' That's what Bluey was thinking.
Some time later...
„Hello, I'm Kate." The children of Calypso's class were sitting there with their mouth' wide open. „Careful or a fly or bug gets into your mouth" „But you … you are" „A cat?" Bluey asked not knowing what to think of this. For all she knew cats don't talk or go to school. „I know. You've got a problem with that?" „Children, we tolerate each other no matter what. Doesn't anyone has a question for our new friend?" „I have" a dalmatian said. „Is it true that cats hunt birds and fishes?" „Chloe!" Calypso tried to stop her. Bluey looked at her best friend. She knew exactly why she asked. It wasn't that long ago that she herself found a little bird which was most likely hunted by a cat and died shortly after she and her father brought it to the vet. „It's okay, Mrs Calypso. I'm cool with that kind of question. And yes, some cats are. But I myself prefer cereals, fruit salad and ice cream." 'She likes the same things to eat as me? Maybe we can be friends' Bluey thought her tail wagging a bit. 'Now I just have to find a way to get to know her better.' „That's it, children. Time for a little break. Who wants to show Kate around and tell her our rules?" Bluey was the first to raise her paw. In fact she was the only one. 'Good. I knew I could always count on her with that kind of thing.' Calypso thought. „Thank you, Bluey. I'm counting on you."
„And that's where we dress up for our pretend adventures. Do you like to go on adventures?" Bluey was still showing her around trying to get Kate to open up so they could become friends. But up until now she had no luck. It's always something whether Kate don't like a certain game or it's too noisy or too quite. Bluey was starting to regret she volunteered. But she wouldn't give up. 'The show must go on!' „Actually, I don't know. We didn't have something like that in my old school." „Ugh, fine. It's … wait, did you say you don't know?" „Erm, yeah. Like I said, we didn't have something like that in my old school. Can you show me? By the way, are there any books to read? I'd really like that." Blueys eyes went wide. „You can read? For real life?" „What? 'For real life'? What does that mean?" Bluey looked a bit confused. „It means 'no kidding'" she said matter-of-factly. „Soooo, back to my question. You can read?" „Yeah, I can. I have to 'cause I have to read my brother his bedtime stories." „Can you teach me?" Bluey asked excited to know someone of her age who can read already. „I always wanted to learn but noone ever got around to try teaching me to read." „Sure, Bluey. I open the door of literacy for you and you can teach me of those pretend adventures. Deal?" „Deal!" Bluey shook her paw to seal the deal. Her tail wagging out of excitement. „Who starts?" she asked. „Well, I can start teaching you. So, where are the books?" „I don't know. Let's ask Calypso."
„Once up... upon a t... ti... oh, time … once upon a time. I started it, right?" „Sure, here I have an interesting book you can borrow. Would you like to?" „I don't know. It could get lost if I have it at home and I don't want to disappoint you for losing your book." Bluey said looking down while holding her right arm with her left paw. „It's okay. I just want you to read a few sentences every day so you get better." „Oh, okay." „Here you go." „Thank you. I'm usually the one lending things. But I normally don't get them back. Mostly 'cause I forget it. But with your book it will be different, I promise." „Whoa, calm down. It's okay as long as you promise to treat my book well." „I will, I promise."
That's how Bluey met Kate and quickly became friends with her. What they didn't know was that there were a pair of eyes watching them in jealousy.
A/N: That was the first chapter of Bluey: Some things (n)ever change. Hope you enjoyed it. I want to get better at writing such stuff so feel free to leave a review if you liked it or PM me for suggestions for improvement. Being back soon!
