Dillon hummed along with the song on the radio as his mom drove him to pick up 'Aya and Dad. He had spent the better part of the day lost, but he had made a new friend, and his mom had not even been mad at him for getting lost like she normally was when he walked away from the shopping cart. And now they would go and get 'Aya and Dad, and they would go to a birthday party to have some fun. 
 
"Hi Dillon!" Aya exclaimed, as she climbed into the car. She pushed her glasses up on her noise as they slipped down. 

 "Hi 'Aya!" Dillon replied. "Did you get any candy from the doctor?" 'Aya hated visits to the eye doctor, but Mom and Dad said they were important, and after every visit, 'Aya always received some candy that she would share with him. 

 "Yeah, but Dad says that I have to save it 'till later since we're gonna to Ziggy's and get to eat losta junk food." 

 "Not 'lots'," their father corrected. "Just 'some'." 

 "But Daaad!" Dillon protested.

 "No buts, buddy, if you eat too much, you'll get sick." 

 "Your father's right honey," Mom chimed in. "And don't you think that you've had enough excitement for one day?" 

 "Why what happened?" Dad asked. 

 "Dillon just had a little adventure in the park, today, everything's alright now." Dad turned up the radio a bit so he could talk to Mom, so Dillon began to wonder about what Ziggy's birthday party would be like. He imagined that all of his friends would be there--Scott would, because his dad and Ziggy's dad liked each other, and Ziggy probably invited some girls to be fair, though Dillon didn't see why. All girls, except 'Aya and his mom, of course, were icky, and they didn't make any sense at all! "We're here!" his mom announced. 

 Dillon and 'Aya raced from the car, and were to their friend in seconds.

 "Hi Ziggy, happy birthday!" Dillon greeted, thrusting a present into his friend's arms. 

 "Thanks Dillon! Hi 'Aya! Come on, everybody's on the other side of the house." They raced along, parents in tow to where the other kids were already playing with a pinata. He had been right, though, as he spotted Scott immeadiatly, trying to hit the donkey with a bat, and there were three other girls at the party, a blonde girl, named Summer, and two weird girls named Kay and Gemma. Gemma's twin, Gem, was there too, along with the English kid from their class, Flynn. 

 Scott broke the pinata and candy poured out, and everybody rushed forward to grab some. After they all grabbed fist full, and shoved them into pockets, Ziggy's dad called them over for pizza and then cake. Everybody, including Scott's scary dad, sang "Happy birthday" to Ziggy and then he tore through the many presents. Then they were allowed to go and play some more in the woods behind Ziggy's house, but only if they staid close.

 "Hey guess what?" Dillon asked, intent on answering before they could. "I met a robot today! And the power rangers!"

 "No way!" all of them exclaimed. 

 "When I grow up, I want to be the pink ranger!" Summer declared. 

 "I'm red!" Scott added. 

 "Tha's no' fair!" Flynn protested. "Red always gets ta be the leader!"

 "I don't want to be a color," Dillon decided, "I just want to be a wolf."

 "ooo! I wanna be a chicken--"

 "Or a tiger!" Gem and Gemma said in there twin speak. 

 "Do you think I could be a ranger too?" 'Aya asked. 

 "You could be purple!" Summer volunteered her. 

 "I wanna be a green phoenix," Ziggy chirped, out doing them all. 

 "Don't be stupid, Ziggy," Kay said. "Phoenix's are fire colored."

 "Yeah, but you can make fire turn green," he told them. 

 "Nuh uh," Kay retorted. 

 "Ya huh!" Ziggy said. "'Sides if I were gonna be an animal, it would be a phoenix, my mom said so." Nobody had a retort to that. 

 "But how do we make sure it happens?" Scott asked. "My Dad makes us move all the time, and we can't be a team if we aren't together."

 "We could--"

 "--Do magic," Gem and Gemma suggested. 

 "Ach, that always works in stories," Flynn argeed. 

 "Don't we have to use blood for that?" Ziggy asked, drawing a collective "ewww" from the girls.

 "No!" 'Aya protested. "It can be symmolic."

 "You mean 'symbolic'," Kay corrected. "And 'Aya's right, it could just be something that looks like blood. Or we could just ask, there doesn't have to be blood."

 "But who do we ask?" Dillon inquired.

 "God?" Scott suggested. 

 "Ach, but there's more than one," Flynn said. 

 "Maybe we could just ask the powers that be?" Ziggy said. "They were on TV the other night, and they help people that are good."

 "Okay," Summer agreed. "Let's try that."

 "Okay," Ziggy said. "Power that Be...um, we don't know if you're listening, but we hope you can hear us, and we really want to be friends forever." 

 "Yeah, so please don't make any of us move away or anything," asked Scott. 

 "Or...or if we have to go away, could we come back to eachother, please?" Flynn asked. 

 "And make sure that we'll stay together--"

 "For forever, or for a really looong time," Gemma and Gem said. 

 "Please, don't let anything bad happen to anyone," 'Aya asked.

"And please don't let us do anything stupid," Kay added. 

 "And grant us puppies and rabbits," Summer requested. 

 "And maybe you could let us be Power Rangers too?" Dillon asked. 

 "Amen," Ziggy said, everyone echoing him. "Now we all have to be really good so that our wishes come true."

 "Kids, come on, it's time to go!" one of the parent's called from the front of the house. 
 
"We're coming!" Ziggy called, running off. Dillon ran with his friens, contentedly full of cake and dreams. 

 'Now I really can't forget,' he thought. 'This was the best day ever!' 

Notes: This is from the perspective of a six-year-old, so such things, like saying Flynn is English, are not lapses in my Sanity, they are Dillon's ideas, since he does not yet know the differences between Scotland and England
