“For me?” May asked, sniffing the flowers from Robin. “Who else?” Robbin replied. “But what’s the occasion?” May said. It wasn’t her birthday. She wasn’t sick. Was this a special day she didn’t know about? Robin just smiled. She was always full of surprises like this. “It’s Friends Day!” Robin exclaimed. May had never heard of…

She’d passed every test, and tonight, she would take the final challenge to become a Light Commander. Tonight, she would make fire in the sky to light up the night. She would be judged on the luminosity, power, and beauty of her craft. This was the most dangerous test but also the most rewarding.

“Good morning,” he called to the flowers and butterflies. He turned his face toward the sky to greet the sun and clouds when something new caught his eye.
“What’s this?” he thought as he a paw up toward a string dangling from the sky…
