"Hello?" I overheard Theo's voice beside me. It must be his best friend, Stanley. He's currently in another country, so whenever they talk, it's a special bonding moment for them.

He's quite lively and noisy, just like me, and he got a charming personality that's even more bubbly than Theo's!

My birthday is just a week away, and I can hardly contain my excitement! It's my tenth birthday, and as promised by Dad, we're going to a famous amusement park to celebrate. I've invited all my friends, and even their parents are joining us! I'm so thrilled!
