They dug through five more boxes. Ava wasn’t very careful about keeping things neat. In fact, in fifteen minutes, the whole room was a disaster! She was no longer thinking about Legos. She didn’t care that she and Dean were locked in a room. She didn’t care that their parents were probably looking for them.

None of this mattered. There were only two words in Ava Squeakerton’s head.

Battery and flight.

Finally, after what seemed like an hour, they found a box under the other boxes. It was big and heavy and hard to open. On the cardboard was a magical word.

Toys.

They found a collection of plastic zoo animals. They found an art kit with half of the paint gone. They found a sword, a doll, and a toy mouse.

There was some sort of black case that had buttons on it. Maybe another remote control. Ava didn’t know or care. She ripped open the back. A battery fell out. But it was a rectangle and not right for the airplane. She knew it the second she saw it. She wanted to cry.

“Ava. Ava. Look!”

Ava hung her head. She had been so close to flying. So close. She would never have this chance ever again. She would have to sit on that roof of the great, big White House and watch the planes overhead and dream her days away. She was, after all, only a mouse. Mice are small and they probably shouldn’t dream so big.

“What,” Ava said. It wasn’t really a question.

“A Lego!” Dean screamed.

And there it was. The object they had never been sure existed. A whole bin filled with Legos in a rainbow of colors. There were boxes with pictures of castles and spaceships too. Dean could build every day for the rest of his life and still not use all those Legos.
