"Everyone, we have a new student joining our class today!" The small school principal stated as she smiled warmly "Everyone, this is Nadwe." She gestured to the small five year old beside her as Nadwe smiled brightly. He waved estactically and giggled "Hiya! I'm Nadwe!" The principal smiled and looked out to the class of maybe 19 other kids. "Everyone, let's say 'hello' to Nadwe!"

"Hello Nadwe!" The entire class chirped back.

Nadwe beamed happily as he rocked back and forth on his feet. The principal nudged him forward "Go ahead and take a seat." Nadwe nodded softly and ran over to one of the tables that had a chair available, sitting down and scooting closer to the table. The principal looked at the teacher for a bit before turning and walking out of the classroom, shutting the door behind her.

"Alright children, today's assignment before lunch is arts and crafts. You all know the rules; no glitter since Miss Swan thinks it's 'dangerous' to let one of you use the vacuum in the closet."

Nadwe quickly raised his hand.

Ms.Bennet sighed heavily "Yes?" Nadwe lowered his hand "I dunno where the arts and crafts stuff is ma'am." Ms.Bennet blinked and registered what he said "Oh, right, uh; Tabatha, show him where the stuff is alright?"

"Yes Ms.Bennet."

The class quickly got up from their tables and walked over to the large arts and crafts chest in the rear of the class with everything neatly organized inside. The small girl named Tabatha had shown Nadwe the general direction of where the chest was before running over herself to grab some supplies.

There were enough supplies in little organisable containers for each table; so one kid from each table brought them to their table as the rest were grabbing whatever paper, bendy straw, pipecleaner and whatever else they wanted to use. Nadwe was looking at different colors of crafting paper as he turned his attention to a few other students.

One small boy who was like a few months younger than Nadwe was holding the lucky star stickers as a little taller, chubbier boy quickly snatched them away. The first one jolted and whined "Tommy! I had those first!" Tommy laughed and held them above his head just out of reach "Then come get it freak!" The kid whined and tried to reach for them to no avail.

Nadwe was not having any of that shit as he dropped the paper he was holding and came over "Hey! You big meanie! Why don't you pick on someone as fat as you!?" Tommy looked over at him and glared "Dofus, the saying is 'your own size'!"

"Yeah but no one here is as fat as you, you fatty fat fat! Give that kid back those stickers, he had them first! Tommy smirked and laughed tauntingly again "Well why don't you take them from me?" Nadwe huffed and crossed his arms "If that's an invite for a scuffle, I can'ts do that!" Tommy scoffed and lowered the stickers "Well why not wuss?"

"My daddy taught me you do not start fights, you end them. And since you didn't start a fight with me, I can'ts fights back and end it!"

Tommy looked at him with a weird look as the kid quickly snatched the stickers and ran back to his table "HEY! THOSE STICKERS WERE MINE I HAD THEM FIRST!!"

Ms.Bennet looked up from her desk glaring as she huffed "Who took your stickers Tommy?" Tommy pointed over to the kid as the kid stopped, frowning "But he took them from me!" Ms.Bennet waved him off "Excuses, give them back to Tommy now." The kid looked really upset as he whined quietly "B-But-" he looked down as Tommy came over with his hand out for the sheet of stickers. He reluctantly gave them back as Tommy had a smug grin on his face, walking over to his own table triumphantly.

Nadwe huffed and crossed his arms, glaring at Tommy "What a big meanie." He looked back over at the other kid who sulked back to his table. He frowned a bit and glared back at Tommy who was making sure he used every last of the lucky star stickers

Sitting outside of an office, Dino was messing with a small rubix cube in hand as he was waiting to be called in. He won't lie; Dino's been really and strangely lonely since Woolfster moved away to the college campus and he's been looking for ways to fill in that gap that he left.

Dino's job can't have him stay longer than he is legally required since there are now high school students who need those hours. The majority of everyone else is busy with their own jobs and/or personal lifes to hang out constantly and Dino felt like his cat was becoming sick of him being with him all the time. So he opted for the last option other than trying to find someone who would date his aromantic ass.

He booked an appointment with a local 'Big Brother/Big Sister' program; which older males, females or transgender people could sign up to essentially foster an orphan around 5 years old to 16 years old.

Dino was pretty skeptical at first because he isn't that sure if he could mentor anyone else besides Woolfster, and a child no less. But it was either sign up for the BBBS program or start dating. He paused working on his rubix cube to linger on that thought for a while.

"...yeah no that ain't happening." He muttered softly to himself as he focused back onto his rubix cube. He hummed quietly as the office door opened quietly "Excuse me?" Dino stopped messing with his rubix cube as he looked up at the man "Oh hello." He stood up and put his cube away in his pocket, "Are you-"

The man nodded, "Yes, we are ready for the initial meeting." He held the door open for Dino as he walked inside, taking a seat in front of the desk. The man walked back inside and shut the door, sitting beside a female supervisor as Dino sat up; clearing his throat softly. -Alright, it's been a while since I've been in an interview; time to nail this-

"Tell Me About Yourself."

"I'm Dino; I'm an associate with the local library. I'm Aromantic and single."

"Why Are You the Best Person for the Job?"

"I essentially raised one of my friends"

"Why Do You Want This opportunity?"

"Because you're looking for people?"

"How Has Your Experience Prepared You for This Role-"

"I just said I raised one of my friends"

"What Is Your Greatest Strength?"

"I'm not a furry"

"What Is Your Greatest Weakness?"

"People calling me something I am not"

The two looked over at each other and at Dino "Final question; How would you describe yourself?"

"Enrolled in the program and assigned to foster a child."

The male blinked confused as he looked over at the female supervisor "C-Can he do that??" He whispered as the female supervisor looked impressed. "Yeah, I'm somehow very impressed." She chuckled softly, "You're really good at interviews." Dino smiled softly and relaxed "Thank you, I like to think of it as one of my talents." The supervisor smiled and set down a small packet onto the desk as Dino moved closer to sign it.

Once it was signed, the man took it away as the supervisor shook Dino's hand. "We'll keep in touch, we just have to wait for any of the foster care and orphanages for a response, when we do we will relay that info to you." Dino nodded and let go of her hand. "Nice meeting you two." He turned around and walked out of the office, shutting the door behind him. He waited a few seconds before pumping his fist silently, turning and walking out of the building.

Nadwe was running around outside on the playground as he and a few other kids chased a soccer ball. It was now after lunch recess and in around 20 ish minutes everyone would be released back to their parents who were waiting by the front gate. He soon grew tired of the game of chasing the ball and stopped running after it, looking around and ran over to the swing set.

There was one swing left as he ran over, jumping into it as he was laying on his chest on it. He looked over at the other kids who were swinging on their own or with help from one of the chaperones. He stood up and sat on it right and looked a little nervous. Nadwe never swung on a swing before without Laff, one time he fell off and flew a clear 4 feet away from the swing set, he could have broken his arm if Laff wasn't there to quickly catch him.

One of the chaperones saw Nadwe just sitting there as he walked over "Hey there little guy, need help?" Nadwe looked up at him and nodded softly "Yes please sir." The chaperone nodded and pulled him back a bit, letting go as Nadwe started swinging carefully.

He clung to the ropes tightly as he started swinging. He slowly relaxed as he kept swinging, slowly getting higher and higher with every swing as the chaperone made sure he didn't go too high. Nadwe started giggling happily as he kept swinging, smiling brightly.

On the playset the kid from earlier was playing with his stuffed turtle as Tommy came up behind him and tried to take the turtle away from him. The kid started whining loudly as he clung to it tightly "TOMMY STOP IT ITS MINE!"

Nadwe quickly saw what was happening and waved his hand back at the chaperone "Hey! Hey! I wanna get off! I want off!!" The chaperone quickly grabbed the ropes, bringing Nadwe to a stop as he quickly squirmed off. The chaperone looked confused as Nadwe ran over to the playset. "HEY!" Nadwe called to Tommy as he quickly climbed up the rope ladder "Leave him alone!"

Tommy let go of the turtle and tried to make himself look intimidating as the kid backed up quickly "Why don't you make me?" He advanced over and shoved Nadwe "Make me freak!"

Nadwe stumbled a bit and blinked as he glanced over at the kid, who was cowering in fear. "...uh, okay-" Nadwe quickly shoved back twice as hard; sending Tommy down the slide headfirst. Tommy hit his head when he fell onto the woodchipped covered ground. He sat up and started bawling loudly "MEANIE!!!" He got up and ran off sobbing loudly. Nadwe huffed softly and dusted his hands off "Congrats dummy, you've won a stupid prize you Tosser."

The kid was staring at Nadwe in awe as he stood up straight, smiling happily "Woah! You helped me! No one's ever stood up to Tommy before!" He giggled "He is wrong about you, you're not a freak! You're a hero!-"(Ima not finish that cause I know everyone else will xD)

Nadwe blinked and then smiled "Oh, thanks, I guess." He turned to face him "Has no one else ever stood up to him before?" The kid shook his head "No, he's Ms.Bennet's kid so everyone's afraid to." Nadwe scoffed softly and stood proudly "Well I am not! I am not scareds of anything!" He smiled and looked at the kid "By the way, what's your name? You've never told me your name."

The kid giggled happily and smiled happily "My name's Muffin!" Nadwe put his hand on his chin "Huh, you are named Muffin." He looked at him "I've never heard anyone who was named Muffin! But I have plenty of other family who have just as we-uh, unique names!"

Muffin gasped softly "You didn't call me weird!" He giggled again "You called me unique!"

Someone blew a whistle as the two look over at the main gate being opened "Aw man, days over." Muffin still looked happy "Hey can we play tomorrow? In case Tommy tries to take my turtturt again?" Nadwe looked at him and smiled "Of course! I'll bring my dad doll to and we can play together!" Muffin was smiling as bright as he could as he ran over to the slide and went down it, squealing loudly as he ran over to the gate. Nadwe went down the slide, grabbing his backpack and ran over to the gate; looking around for anyone he knew.

"Hey Nad! Over here!"

Nadwe looked over at Joocie and Tbh and smiled brightly, running over "Uncle Joocie! Uncle Tbh!" Joocie chuckled quietly and crouched down to hug him "Hey there kiddo." He let go and stood up "How was your first day?" Nadwe smiled brightly and threw his hands up "It was awesome! And I made a friend!"

Tbh smiled and picked him up, putting him on his shoulders "Oh a little friend didya? Well it's not like they will be a better friend than us will they!?" Nadwe squealed and covered his face; he was scared of heights. Joocie noticed and punched Tbh in the shoulder "TB, you KNOW he hates heights put him down." Tbh laughed quietly and set Nadwe down "Sorry Sorry!"

Nadwe quickly recovered and giggled softly. Joocie smiled and took his hand, starting to walk with him and Tbh. Nadwe looked around and saw Muffin with his mother as he looked back at them. He pointed to him excitedly as his mother looked over at Nadwe. He smiled brightly and waved as Muffin waved insanely back, squealing loudly. Nadwe giggled softly to himself as Joocie smiled warmly, not really sure why he was giggling but was happy he was happy regardless.
