The Alphabet is for Drabbles (A Hey Arnold! Fanfic)

Kaleidoscope

A pre-school tale

It was a strange day, little Helga thought. The teacher had set them in groups of two for a special experiment, one which involved kaleidoscopes. It was a hard word to pronounce, so she called them "colorful looking through thingys", or something like that. Not wanting to be paired with other kids, she stayed by her new friend's side. But Phoebe got stuck with Sid, another classmate. She cried and cried, saying that it wasn't fair. But when she got her own working buddy, she suddenly calmed down. She would be looking at the colorful thingys with the boy she liked, the one with the blue hat, and she was immensely glad that her friend was with another person.

It suddenly wasn't a strange day after all.
