Hikre looked down sheepishly, embarrassed at herself. How could she have possibly forgotten that? All the days spent gazing at clouds, making up stories about them? It seemed crazy that she had forgotten them. In a sudden act, she lay down next to Enu. She looked up at the clouds, like he was doing.

[Kitsumi]

Shea smiled. Apparently his sister hadn't completely forgotten. Suddenly not caring how childish he would look, he sat down on the other side of Enu. He looked up at the clouds. For once, he didn't feel foolish, or stupid, or immature. He just felt...content.

[Kitsumi]

Enu sighed happily. He suddenly noticed that his brother and sister were sitting next to him. "Hey, guys," he said. "How about we play that game we used to play?" he asked. "The one where each person only says one sentence of a story. We can make up a story together. Do you want to?"

[Kitsumi]

Hikre could have laughed out loud. They hadn't played that game in years! But still, today seemed like the right kind of day to reminisce with her brothers. "Hey, I'm game if you are." she said finally. "Shea? What do you think?"

[Kitsumi]

Shea groaned inwardly. He hated these games. But then, when he thought about it, he realized he actually liked them quite a bit. He was just becoming too concerned about his appearance to play them. "Sure, let's have at it." he said.

[Kitsumi]

"Yay!" Enu clapped his hands like a child. "We should make it a fairy tale. With trolls and ogres and stuff. Those ones are the absolute best!" he said. "Who should go first? It's not gonna me, I always go first. One of you guys start it this time."

[Kitsumi]

Knowing that Shea would never do it, Hikre sighed. "I'll start." she said. "But does it have to be a fairy tale?" At Enu's insisting nod, she sighed again. "Ok, ok. Let's just do this." she thought for a moment. "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Lilac."
