Disclaimer: I don't own MONK or USA Network or anything having whatsoever
to do with this show at all.*SOB* !!! My life sucks! Ok not really.
Note: This is actually my first MONK story but I posted "Mr. Monk and the Rainstorm" first because it was shorter.
MONK
"Mr. Monk Goes to Kindergarten"
Five-year old Bethany Miller and Julie Simpson sat on a brick wall in front of their elementary school, Wade Elementary.
"You're sure Bethany's mom is going to pick you guys up right after school?" their kindergarten teacher, Ms. Walker had asked them.
"Of course!" they'd replied in unison.
Now they sat together chewing bubble gum and playing with each other's hair. Julie started tickling Bethany. Bethany started laughing so hard she couldn't breathe.
"Stop!" she gasped. Julie began chasing her down the sidewalk.
"Hey! We gotta stay here and wait for my mommy" Bethany protested.
"Oh come on! Let's go play on the slide, just one slide for both of us?" Julie begged, "Please?"
"Ok, race ya!"
Bethany took off for the playground in a sprint, her light-up sneakers flashing. The two girls took their turns on the slide. Just as they were going to start back, a man popped out from behind the jungle gym. Bethany swallowed and tugged at Julie's arm. Julie stopped giggling and looked up. The man loomed over them eclipsing the sun so all they saw was a shadow. But they didn't miss the glinnt of the knife he had pulled from his jeans pocket. The girls opened their mouths to scream, a little too late, the man covered each of their mouths with a hand and only 100 yards away, Bethany 's mom wondered why her daughter was late.

Adrian Monk hurried Sharona Fleming into the police station. "C'mon Sharona" he protested.
"Relax Adrian" she said glancing at her watch, "it's 9:59 we'll be on time!"
"But we have to be exact. Right on the ten o'clock mark."
Sharona sighed and gave her beautifully shining curly blond hair a shake. Her electric blue eyes flashed in mild frustration at Monk's obssessiveness. Being his private nurse and assistant, she was used to his shall we say "idiosyncrasies". Monk's obsessive compulsive disorder ranged from fear of tall buildings to a fear of milk. Life with Adrian Monk could be difficult but never boring.
She straightened her tight black low-cut knit top and reached for the door of Captain Stottlemeyer's office at Monk's request. He didn't want the doorknob germs on his hand.
"Sharona, Monk. Come in." the Captain greeted them. Sharona sat down while Monk remained standing.
The Captain was a tall, broad-shouldered man with wavy light-colored hair and matching moustache.
"I know you tow have been very busy with all the cases being handed to you lately. But we really got something special here."
Sharona shifted in her seat, "What is it?"
"Wade Elementary School, two days ago. Two five year old girls were murdered-throats slashed, their bodies found in a dumpster behind the cafeteria."
Sharona put a hand to her mouth, "Oh my-"
She glanced over at Monk who was swallowing hard.
"Any...any..uh anybody see anything?" Monk stuttered out.
"Nope. We have no eyewitnesses at the moment. The Captain answered. "But."he began with a glance at the two of them, "we do have a plan."
He turned to Sharona, "You studied education for some time in college, correct?"
"Yeah." Sharona nodded," Before I went into nursing.whoa, wait a minute," she started as she began to catch on.
"Yep" the Captain nodded, "you're going undercover."
"What?" Sharona cried.
"As a substitute kindergarten teacher."
"What?!!"
"And Monk will be your teaching assistant" the Captain finished. "WHAT?!?" Adrian and Sharona shouted in unison.
