She knew they would soon find out the truth when attending school but why spoil a good magical tale for the two children.

“Why?” Spencer asked scratching her eyebrow.

“You know how stars shine bright?” The two kids nodded vigorously, “Well the sun is so much brighter, it out shines them so they don’t like the sun and hide when it shows up.”

“Oh,” the both cutely said together.

“Why did you want to know?”

Spencer’s eyes lit up giving her the most innocent of faces, “I wanna Ash my star,” she almost screamed in her excitement.

“You want to show her your star,” Paula repeated earning her a quick nod, “You’ll have to wait till tonight sweetie,”

Ashley kissed her on the cheek before blushing and glancing down, “Thank you Paula,”

Ashley nodded and scooted off the adults lap, clutching her hand around Spencer wrist she tugged her toward the swings, the two ran off giggling and screaming about stomach ache Friday’s.

“Mommy can you help me?” Paula raised her eye brows watching her seven year old son Glen walking toward her with a book and pencil.

“Glen where’s Clay?” she wondered searching behind him.

Arthur and her adopted Clay a year ago, the boys seemed really close and were never separated. While Paula was out side watching the girl’s play, Glen and Clay were sitting at the kitchen table helping each other with their homework which wasn’t much more than reading, spelling and math.

Glen shrugged, “He finished and went to play video games,”

Smiling she stood up and kissed his forehead, taking the book from his hands she turned to the girls, “Okay girls its time to go in,”

“But…”
