His bubbly sister started to bounce up and down, her hair doing the same. "I'm sorry, I'm just SO EXCITED!" She jumped onto her bed, and quickly wrapped herself in her pink blanket. "What's tonight's story?"

"Ohh, umm..." Leo started. He was too concerned into his battle strategy plans to even think of the story he was going to read to Elise. "Hmm..."
