"Jiminie! Wake up!" A young boy shouted, jumping on his brother that was still sleeping soundly. The boy lazily opened his eyes and looked up at his older brother. "It's too early, I still wanna sleep..." The younger said, already starting to drift back into slumber.

"But today's the first day of real school!" The older boy Hoseok shouted, and by 'real school' he means elementary; Jimin sat up quickly, looking at Hoseok with wide eyes. He rushed out of his bed and into his dresser, slipping on a t-shirt on the way, "can you believe it? we're finally in the first grade!" Hoseok yelled to Jimin who was currently in the washroom.

Jimin returned and looked at Hoseok with nervous eyes, "I'm kinda scared...There's gonna be big kids there..." He said with a small pout, hanging his head low. "But we're big kids now Chim! We don't have to worry!" "But what about our... you know...?" Jimin asked pointing at his hair, "As much as I don't see a problem with it, I got us some hats!" the slightly elder boy went over to his bed and took out a box from under it, opening it to reveal two black baseball caps.

The younger boy sniffled at his brother's kindness; taking one of the caps and placing it on his head. "T-Thank you Seok..." "No problem Chim!" Hoseok said, giving his brother a quick hug before getting interrupted by their mother. "Boys! The bus is here!" The brothers rushed out of their shared bedroom and downstairs into the living area, "Be good, boys, I don't want a call from the school while I'm at work" their mother said, bending down to plant kisses on their foreheads.

"We will! Bye, Mom!" Hoseok chirped, a small 'bye Mom' coming from Jimin as he was dragged out of their home and to the yellow bus waiting at the front of their house. Before they entered the bus Hoseok turned to his brother who was nervously fiddling with his shirt buttons, "Everything's gonna be okay Jimin, I'll look after you!" Jimin looked up at his sibling with a smile, "A-Alright!" he squeaked.

Hoseok took Jimin's hand into his and leads him into the bus, taking an empty pair of seats at one of the middle rows, letting the smaller boy slide in first before sitting beside him. 

It was a decently short ride to Kepler, passing by various other people trying to get to their job in other planets; all of the children looking out of the windows to see the billions of stars as they crossed over. Jimin gawking with bright eyes, practically smushing his face into the window to try and get a better look. He saw a number of beings walking along the crossover, some just talking small strolls while others having a set destination in mind. 

As they finally arrive at Kepler and their school, the brothers take notice at how huge the school was, and this was only one of the elementary school this planet had to offer. 

The second the bus doors opened a hoard of kids pushed and shoved each other to get out of the vehicle, the two waiting for the mob of children to exit the bus before getting out themselves.

Hoseok took his brother's smaller hand and walked him to the entrance of the intimidating elementary school. "Don't be scared Chimmie, we'll be fine" The taller of the two said, patting his brothers head. Jimin nodded and held onto Hoseok's hand as the latter leads them both inside.

They both gawked at the massive interior, it was nothing like their old kindergarten that's for sure. "W-Why does it k-keep getting scarier..." The small boy squeaked out, trying to hide behind his brother. "It's not that scary, it's fine~," Hoseok said, leading them both to their classroom that they had been assigned to.

Above the door was three large cartoonish stickers: one of the sun, another of the moon, and the last of the earth. The school didn't mix too many races together since they all need to learn different things about their own powers and such.
