We stood at the windows of the train, watching as Jackie in her blue dress grew smaller and smaller behind us. The conductor gently asked us to sit down.

"I don't see you telling the adults to hurry up and sit down," Rebecca objected.

"Do we even have a lawyer?" Zinnia wondered. "I think it would be nice to have a lawyer."

"We must have one," Annie said. "We have a CPA."

Then, as the train picked up more and more speed, a blue dot zipped by the windows.

"Did you see that?" Marcia asked.

"I've never seen anything like it," Pete said.
