"Come on, ma fleur. We don't want to be late for school." the soft voice of Charlotte rang through the living room, making Morgane get up from her chair to clean up her breakfast dishes.

Today was going to be her first day at école élémentaire and Charlotte was bringing her with the car, even if the school was only a three minute walk. She didn't want Morgane to be alone obviously, and walking in public was not always the best option for them as the media was always trying to catch a glimpse of their lives.

The girls got into the car and they drove off. "Are you excited to go to school?" Charlotte asked, giving a quick glance at Morgane who heavily shook her head yes. She chuckled from the excitement from the little girl.

Morgane was a keen girl and learned fast, so she was only looking forward to going to school. She also knew that the brunette beside her was more nervous for her going to school than she was herself.

"Don't worry about me Cha. I will have Maëlys as a friend and I will easily make some more. I am going to have fun. I am going to learn about the world." the little girl reassured Charlotte without looking away from the window. Charlotte gave Morgane a faint but genuine smile. She knew that her "daughter" would be just fine, but still she was scared that others would treat her differently. Maybe because she was living with a 'famous' family, or maybe because she had no real parents at all. Or at least one was dead and the other was still going mental, even after six years.

Really, Charlotte couldn't quite blame Camille as she had never been in the condition the poor blonde was in, luckily. And Morgane did indeed look a lot like Jules, her father. It was like they made a female replica of the man. Charlotte knew it sometimes hurt Charles as well, looking at the beautiful young girl, and maybe Charlotte was happy to never have met Jules, as so she wasn't able to notice the resemblance of the two completely.

It was true that Morgane was going to have her best friend Maëlys around. The two little girls met a couple of years back at the playgroup nearby. The two were inseparable and Charlotte was glad the girls could rely on each other, even though they were still so young.

"What are you most excited learning about?" The older girl asked, excited to hear Morgane's answer, as it was probably going to be an unusual answer for a six year old.

Morgane thought for a second before her face lit up with happiness. "The stars and the moon and the sun. All of the galaxy." she exclaimed. There it was, the unusual answer for a six year old.

Though Charlotte knew very well that the little girl was most definitely not going to learn about the galaxy on the first day of school, she didn't dare to ruin the little one's joy. She just hummed in agreement, making a mental note to remember to teach her things about space in the future. "And what about meeting your classmates and learning about them first? That's quite important."

"Yes, I know. I am looking forward to that too." Morgane replied. They arrived at the school and both females walked in. Charlotte was allowed to go inside as well as it was still the first day at school for Morgane and it could get too overwhelming for her. So for support, Charlotte walked alongside the younger one.

They got stares from every direction and they both tried to ignore them. Charlotte wasn't that well known, but the stories about Morgane were still there and both of their faces sure were recognizable. Charlotte ruffled her hand through the small girl's hair and gave her a gentle push to walk inside. Once inside the classroom, the stares were much less. The older brunette noted that there were more familiar faces. Not of people she knew personally, but people she recognized from being famous for whatever. Morgane was not going to be a girl with a special reputation, and deep down she was kind of glad about that fact. Morgane was going to have a normal and equal chance to do well at this school, without being praised just because of her story or family.

The first hour went by fast and it was time for the parents (and carers) to leave the school. All they learned so far was how the educational system was arranged and a small name round for the kids. Morgane thought it was rather boring and was constantly eyeing her best friend who was sitting across from her. If it wasn't for Maëlys being the shyer friend and constantly looking away, Morgane would've gotten into trouble on her first school day already. And though the teacher ignored the little girl's actions, he knew that she was going to be a little troublemaker and he was going to keep an extra eye on her.

Charlotte pecked Morgane on the head before leaving and told her to behave well and that she would pick her up again at three, when school was over. It was finally time to learn real things. Things about animals, nature, galaxies, cars, sports. Or at least those were Morgane's expectations.

But as the day went by, it became more and more clear that her high expectations weren't going to be true. It saddened the little girl, but she didn't let it get the better of her. She was going to spend the day with her friend and make the best out of it.

Finally it was three o'clock and to everyone's surprise, Morgane was relieved and excited to leave the building instead of staying inside to learn more things. She ran towards Charlotte and Charles, who was there as well to her surprise. She thought he was going to be training the whole day, but seeing him here, waiting for her, made her disappointing day a little better. She greeted both of them with a hug and got into the passenger's seat next to Charles, making Charlotte sit in the back. "How was your day at school, chérie?" she asked, leaning a bit forward to brush some strands of hair behind Morgane's ear.

The young girl looked up from her lap and broke her silence she had been in ever since they got into the car. Normally she was very talkative, so her being quiet hadn't gone unnoticed by the woman. "We didn't get to learn about the stars. Neither did we learn anything about sports. All we did was play silly games and make easy puzzles."

Morgane's sulking made it hard for Charlotte and Charles to keep a straight face and remain serious and compassionate with the disappointment of the girl. Charlotte caresses the youngster's cheek making her look back to let brown eyes meet. "Not everyone is as smart and quick to learn as you are, mon petit fleur. Your time will come, just have a little patience. How about we will look for a fun sport for you after school so you have something to spend your free time on?"

Charlotte's proposal sounded nice and she would really like to get into something she'd like, yet she looked up at Charles for some sort of confirmation. He looked at the girl next to him to find her beautiful eyes looking at him in question. All he did was give her a nod, he knew that his gesture would be enough of a confirmation for her. Morgane's famous smile returned to her face and suddenly her day wasn't that bad after all.

author's note: hello loves, i have some exciting news! it has nothing to with the story really so you could skip this a/n if you want to.

but, i am going to france in a couple of days! i'll be traveling to the south of france for nine days all by myself and am planning on capturing as much moments as possible. one of the platforms where i'll be capturing memories on, is snapchat.

i'll be making a separate snapchat story for it and you can be in it! if you want to be added, you can send me a pm with either your username or ask for mine if you are more comfortable with that!

as fun and exciting it all is, it also means that i have no idea how good my connection for data or wifi will be, meaning that i am unsure if i can keep up with the daily uploads.
of course i am hoping to be able to continue uploading everyday, but if i suddenly stop updating for a week, you'll know the reason ;)

anywaaay, let me know if you want to be in the snapchat story for my adventures in france
