Walking into the classroom, the 4 1/2-year-old Justice holds onto the leash of her golden retriever tightly. Today is show and tell and Justice has brought her dog. Another boy, who seems to have arrived earlier than Justice, notices the cute puppy and his face lights up immediately. His brownish-yellow hair sways in the wind as he quickly runs over to give the dog a pat on the head. This boy's name is 'The Sun.' He is only 3-years-old, younger than the required age to enter kindergarten, but he still somehow manages to attend. Perhaps it was due to him having the height of the average 7-year-old? "What's their name?" The young Sun asks with his shining, brown eyes. "Her name is Susie and she is a golden retriever!" Justice huffs proudly. Susie lays down leisurely, seemly enjoying The Sun's soft pats. "Adorable...." sighs The Sun. Just in that moment, two other figures walk in.  An average and listless looking child with long brown hair, and a short (even for a 5-year-old), blonde haired girl. Those two are 'The Magician' and 'Judgement.'  "Wow...You brought Susie, Justice?" Judgement gushes. "Is this fate? I just wrote a story on a dog!" exclaims a happy Magician. Justice's face blooms into a happy and curious smile. "Oooh, can I see it????"  The Magician nods, and then the three girls run over to a corner of the room, giggling all the way. The Sun looks at them with envy, wishing for someone to talk to.  Suddenly, a smug voice scoffs, "Hmph, losers." The Sun, quickly turns his head, surprised by the suddenly voice. "The Moon?! When did you get here?" The red-eyed and black haired Moon looks at The Sun with a conceited look in his eyes. "I've been here way before you. It makes sense if you couldn't see  someone as noble as me with your weak human eyes, though." He mocks while sticking his tongue out. The Sun face heats up, you can tell he is very upset. "You are annoying! I will report this to Mr. Fool when he arrives!" The Moon reveals a look of panic before saying, "No you won't!" "Yes I will!" "No!" "Yes!" The two boys both bicker back and forth, with no sign of stopping.  

After who knows how long, the other four kids arrive. They seem to have arrived together. It's the four oldest kids. The World, The Star, The Hermit, and The Hanged Man. "Goodmorning, everyone! Wow, everybody else is here!?"exclaims a shocked The Star. "Star, we came very late,  just look at the time." Says The Hermit, pointing at the analog clock on the wall. "You know I can't read that!" The Star cries. The Hermit shakes her head, then taking out a book from her backpack and sitting on the fluffy rug to read. The Hanged Man looks at the two with an emotionless face. He was preparing to sit down, but before he can, the giant Sun rushes over to him, leaving the arrogant Moon alone. "Goodmorning The Hanged Man!!!!!!" He greets enthusiastically.  The Hanged Man looks surprised for a second before an evil smile spreads across his face. "Goodmorning, The Sun. Do you want to hear about the time when I defeated a whale with just my pinky?"  The Sun's eyes sparkle, and his head nods rapidly. He seems to have gotten lied to once again. Looking at all the rowdy kids, The World has a brief smile on his face.

After all the kids have settled down, talking to their friends, playing with their dolls, etc, the enigmatic Mr. Fool arrives.  "Goodmorning to my lovely students!" All the kids stop what they are doing, stand up, and yell, "Goodmorning Mr. Fool!" The Fool laughs calmly. "Alright everyone, please get to your desks. Show and Tell is about to begin!"
