"You sure you want to wear this, sweetie?" Mrs. Sangster asked her four year old son, Thomas who sat on his bed in his pajamas, kicking his legs back and forth with a wide smile on his face

"Yea" The young blonde nodded, "I want to make a good first impwession"

Mrs. Sangster couldn't help but smile at that, "alright then. Let's get you dressed, yea?"

Thomas nodded once more, "Otay!" he grinned as he hopped down from his bed before lifting his arms above his head, allowing his mom to take off his race car pajama shirt and putting a white dress shirt in its place. She then put a small tie around his neck, tying it before grabbing his navy blue sweater and pulling it down over her son's head

Looking down at his shirt with a wide grin, Thomas smiled back up at his mom before climbing back onto his bed so that his mom could help him change into his black dress pants

Eventually the young boy was dressed, "You look amazing sweetie" Mrs. Sangster knelt down beside her son while he looked in the mirror

"You think they will like me?" Thomas asked, turning to look at his mom

"Oh sweetie" Mrs. Sangster gave him a kiss on the head, "Some of them will probably be mean. But you don't need to listen to them, ok?" she gave him a look that Thomas couldn't quite understand, "Don't ever listen to them, you hear me?"

Thomas nodded, "Otay"

"Thomas" his mom repeated, "promise me you won't listen to them"

"I pwomise"

"Good" Mrs. Sangster smiled softly, "Let's get your shoes on and go to school, alright?"

"Yea" Thomas nodded before running off to grab his shoes

"Have a good first day of school, Tommy" Mrs. Sangster called as her son ran inside the building, "I love you"

"Wove you too mum" Thomas called back with a wide grin.

"Hello little tadpoles" A short haired redhead female spoke with a smile, "come in and take a seat in the pond on one of the lilypads"

Many of the children ran over to the blue rug that had green circles on it. Thomas noticed a couple of the children looked at him, pointing to him while they talked to each other. Looking away, the four year old focused on the teacher, giving her a smile

"Alright, settle down friends" the teacher put a finger to her lips, "we have a new friend with joining us on our adventure" she gave a smile, looking over at Thomas, "Why don't you stand up and tell us your name, friend"

Nodding, Thomas stood up, glancing around at his new classmates, "Hewo" he greeted, his british accent coming through slightly, "My name is Thomas"

"You talk weird" a young boy spoke up. Thomas noticed his eyebrows were really thin, "and why are you dressed like my daddy?"

"Will, that's not very kind" The teacher told the boy, who was supposedly named Will, "you wouldn't like it if another kid called you weird, would you?"

"No, Miss V" Will replied looking down at his lap, "Sorry Thomas" he added to the blonde

"It's otay" Thomas gave a smile, "fwiends?"

"Sure" Will replied, giving a small grin in return

Eventually recess came and all the kids were outside on the playground. Thomas was by himself by the side of the building, "Hm? He looked up as a bluejay landed near him

"Hewo birdie" he smiled before taking a step towards it, only to frown as it flew off, "Awe bye-bye birdie" he let out a chuckle before noticing something on the ground. It was a feather. Smiling to himself, the young boy picked it up to examine it

It was blue with black stripes on it. The young boy grinned as he began to play with the feather, drawing in the dirt with it

"Hey Thomas" Looking up at the sound of another voice, Thomas grinned as he saw Will and another girl coming towards him

"Hewo" Thomas replied, standing up to face them only to be pushed back down by the girl. "Owie" he frowned, looking up at them. "Why did you push me..?"

"Because we don't like you" The girl replied, "You talk funny and you dress weird too"

Looking over at Will, who was snickering at what the girl had said, Thomas felt tears fill his eyes, "I fout we were fwiends?"

Will only laughed even more, "You really fink I would be fwiends wif a weirdo?"

"Hey!" a new voice spoke up from behind Will and the girl, "Weave him awone"

"Or what?" The girl replied

"Or I'll tell Miss. V. dat you guys are being meanies"

Will rolled his eyes, "Whatever" he spoke before turning to the girl, "Wet's go Kawa"

The girl, now known as Kaya, nodded before both of them ran off, past a boy who thomas guessed was the owner of the new voice, and back towards the playground

The boy watched them as they passed before turning back to Thomas with a toothy grin, "You otay?" he asked, kneeling down beside the young blonde

He had short light brown hair and a navy blue long sleeve shirt with his sleeves rolled up a bit. Thomas noticed that he had blue jean shorts on as well. Looking back up to meet his eyes, the young blonde noticed that the boy had brown eyes

"Yea" Thomas replied, wiping away the few tears that were trailing down his face, "I'm otay"

"I'm Dylan" the boy smiled, "You name is Thomas, wight?"

Nodding, Thomas gave a small smile, "Yea"

"Wanna be fwiends?" Dylan asked

Looking over at Dylan, Thomas felt his smile grow a bit. "Sure"

"Yay" Dylan grinned. Looking down at the feather that Thomas had dropped when he was pushed down, the brunette picked it up gently. Looking back up at at Thomas, he then put the feather behind the blondes ear, "dere we go!" he smiled in triumph, "feather boy" he chuckled before hugging Thomas tightly

Thomas chuckled as well while he returned the hug. "I'm a feather boy" he laughed

"Alright little tadpoles" Miss V soon called out, "time to go back inside for nap time"

"Awe" Dylan frowned, looking over at Thomas, "I'm not tired"

"I'm not eifer" Thomas replied before taking the feather out from behind his ear and going over to a small rock, placing the feather under it, "dere" he grinned, "now no one will take it"

"Yea" Dylan smiled, walking up beside the blonde to look down at it as well, "It can be our wittle secwet"

"Our wittle secwet" Thomas nodded in agreement

"Dylan? Thomas?" Miss V's voice came from behind the two boys, "It's time to go inside for naptime"

"Alwight, Miss V" Dylan replied with a smile before grabbing Thomas' hand gently, "Let's go tommy"

"Otay" Thomas grinned before both boys ran off, heading back inside. Miss V smiled to herself, shaking her head in amusement.
