So much fun, Ani lilted, her cheeks actually aching with the broadness of her smile.

They didn’t even make it as far as the village’s borders before Stratos appeared, perhaps drawn by the sisters’ voices. Ani chose to see it through a more imaginative lens. They were meant to be, after all, so of course he would magically appear to meet them!

Stratos! she cried, nudging Chickadee and bounding closer. It’s so good to see you too! This is Chickadee. She’s my sister and my best friend in the whole wide world. Chicky-D, this is Stratos, Ani introduced formally.

She took half a step backward then to let the two formally greet each other. Her eyes danced between them, hoping to see signs of chemistry between her crush and her sister. It would please her immensely if they took to one another just the same way Ani and Stratos had.
