“Oh, Clara,” sighed Addie, and that familiar sisterly tension filled the air between them.

They were quiet for a few moments until a high voice crashed through the silence.

“Hey!” Sky Dance snapped at them. “Not everything is a competition, you know. You’re two different people, so it’s okay to actually be different!”

Clara’s jaw dropped open and she took a step back.

“I know,” said Addie. “She talks. Also, she has magic. And she needs—we need—your help.”

Clara shook her head hard. “No way. You are tricking me. Stop it!”

Addie whispered to Sky Dance, “Remember how seeing is believing?”

Sky Dance nodded, then took flight, flitting back and forth over the backyard, searching for something. When she landed, Addie knew she was supposed to bring Clara over. She beckoned to her sister, and fortunately her sister followed.

Sky Dance was sitting on an acorn that was lying in the grass.

“Are you watching, Clara?” asked Addie. Clara shrugged.

Sky Dance fluttered up and flew three circles around the acorn, leaving her personal pink, turquoise, and white rainbow ribboning behind her. As the colors dissolved into sparkling dust, Clara and Addie both gasped at what had happened.

The acorn was now a tiny seedling with green leaves, just a few inches high.

“Give it ten or fifteen years,” said Sky Dance proudly. “That oak tree will be as tall as your house!”

Clara dropped Squish and sank down onto the grass. “Whoa,” was all she said.

“Clara,” said Addie, kneeling down across from her. “I’ve discovered something wonderful. And I want to share it with you. Will you let me?”

Maybe it was the word “wonderful,” or maybe it was the word “share,” but Clara lit up in a way Addie hadn’t seen since before their parents had told them they were moving.

“You said something about needing my help?” asked Clara.

Addie and Sky Dance nodded.

“Count me in.”
