A one-shot dealing with kindergarden Shane, the kingdom he got tricked in and the new kid.

Ben- The New Kid

Just before Queen Tibby let us out for recess she announce that a new student will be joining our class later on. I hope it's a girl so I can save her from dragons and unicorns. Most of the girls in my class tease me when I say I love them. I don't know why. They're all pretty but I wouldn't touch them. I don't want to die of cooties. Oh, I wouldn't save Mitchie thought, after she got me in trouble the last time she doesn't deserve to be saved. Trouble is that I love Mitchie more than anyother girl in class.

She's rude.
She makes fun of me.
She's a meanie.

All the wonderful qualities I love.

I pranced around in the jungle jym castle. The dumb cupcake princess Mitchie made me court jester. It's not fair. I can fight just as good as the other kids. Why can't I be a Knight again? Just 'cause I'm small don't mean a thing. My mom says I'll be as big as dad one day. When that happens, Mitchie will want me as her king. I just hope the cootie bugs wash off her by that time. It's a shame she's not a-munne like Kayla.

I know Kayla doesn't have cooties cause sometime ago my mom made me kiss her good-bye after a play date and I didn't die.

But I know for sure Mitchie was cooties. I swear I saw some crawling in her hair back in day care.

Anyways, I continued to dance but the royal court looked uninterested...

Shucks, I should have rejected the offer of coming back to this kingdom. My heart is with Miss. Queen Tibby. She's the most beautiful Queen that ever graced the playground. The Knights and Knightette of the rectangle table are free to roam wherever their heart pleases. Why did I take Mitchie's twinkie? Rodney was right. It was a trick.

Oh why did I fall into temptaion?

I began to sing but the court looked way, interested in something else. Usually my singing is great, my mom told me so. I turned to see at what everybody else was looking at. A smaller kid with baggy clothes and scabby knees wanted to join this kingdom. Cupcake Mitchie sneered at him.

He has no place here.

He called himself Sir Ben, the Brave. That brought everybody to laughs. I didn't see what was so funny. If he says he's brave then he's brave, right?

The other kids begin to make fun of him.

Ben kept a straight face.

He is awfully brave.

I jumped off from the jungle jym and smiled at the kid.

"What are you doin' Shane!?" Mitchie screeched.

"He's brave!" I called.

She scoffed, "Your a dummy!"

They laughed again.

Those kids are nothing but meanies! I grabbed a hand full of sand and chucked it at cupcake Mitchie. She spat dirt out as she began to cry.

"Shane Grey, you are banished!" She cried as she ran to Miss. Queen Tibby. I frowned.

"I'm Ben," He said. "I'm new to Miss. Tibby's Kingdom."

Ben and I sat with the powerful true Queen of the playground for the rest of recess hour.

All Hail Queen Tibby.
