Summary: First-grader Guy Gardner is facing the biggest crisis of his whole life: a girl likes him and probably wants to give him cooties.
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Partially inspired by the astronomical cute factor of Jeff Smith's Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil, even though there's not actually any Marvels to be found in this one. Also, Brucie Wayne says: First-graders are a cowardly and superstitious lot.
