The meeting seemed like it took forever. It was boring and I remember nothing about it. All I remember is what I did with my new friend. We sat under the table, exploring a map and book she owned. The map was fun to look at and see what was wrong and right. It looked like my land wasn't that big. It didn't look that big anyway. She pointed out where and what she was. It was a little area that later would be called New Orleans. 

"How come you are taller than me even though I'm bigger?" I whined a bit. 

"It's okay Dika! When we get older and if you outgrow me, you can carry me around all you want!" Alex told me with a bright smile. Oh how she would regret this so much. 

The book kind of scared me. She told me it was a magic book her dad gave her. She said some spells and what they did. She even demestared one by turning my shoe from brown to purple. It was weird and I didn't like it. At the time I said I would never like magic. I also have to take these words back. Magic is pretty cool. I enjoy it now. 

Once the meeting was over, Papa too my hand and smiled. I waved Alex goodbye has her fathers came and carried her off. She smiled and waved back, quickly turning my shoe back to brown so no one noticed. 

"So how as the first meeting?" he asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"Good. Alex was fun to hang out with. Are you close to her parents." 

"Little Sunflower, I'm not really close to anyone there. So no, I am not. But we do talk so I could probably get you a play date soon." 

"Really?" 

"Really."

I smiled a bit, getting ready for my play date with Alex. I was brushing my hair which was quiet long at that time. I heard someone walk in and than they covered my eyes. I knew who it was the moment she covered my eyes.

"Hi Alex." 

"Come on Dika, I was bragging to my brothers about you," she whined, turning me around. 

I blinked when I saw two boys standing behind Alex. They were twins, I could tell you that. They looked very similar but did have differences. One had blue eyes while the other had purple eyes. One's curl went up in a somewhat straight fashion. The others went down in a normal curl way. The one with blue eyes waved at me. 

"Hi! You must be Dika! Alex won't stop talking about you!" he told me, taking my hand and shacking it. "I'm Alfred!" 

"Nice to meet you Alfred," I chuckled a bit, shacking his hand back. 

"Alfred let my friend go," Alex told me, looking a little angry. He sighed and let go, looking a little annoyed. The two looked at each other before they busted out into laughter. 

"Mattie say hi," Alfred told the other boy. He walked foreword and held his hand out. That's when I noticed he was holding a stuffed polar bear toy. 

"Hi," he said in a quiet voice. "I'm Matthew." 

"I'm Dika," I told him, taking his hand. "I like your toy." 

"Thank you," Matthew told me with a smile. "His name is Kumajirou. He's my best friend." 

"Nice to meet you Kumajirou! Can I call you Kuma for short?" I asked the bear like he could answer. Matthew made the bear nod and I couldn't help but giggle. 

"Oh can I show off my pet rabbit?" Alfred asked, holding up a white and brown bunny. 

"Oh I like him!" I said, rubbing the rabbit. "You guys are so lucky! I don't have any animals!" 

"You don't?" Alex asked. 

"Nyet. None." 

"We should find you one," Matthew told me. I smiled. 

"You all would help me find a pet?" 

"Sure! Come on!" 

The three siblings lead me out of my house, all of us waving by to our parents. We rushed towards the forest that was near my home, all of us looking around for something normal. Of course we couldn't find a rabbit in this snow, so we went deeper. 

After a while I felt like I was being watched. When I turned around though, nothing was there. I frowned a bit but kept following the siblings. 

"Come on out animals!" Alfred called. 

"You're going to scare them all away," Alex told his brother. Another turn by me. 

"Am not!" 

"Yes you are!" 

While the two argued, Matthew looked around the area. I helped him before I heard something. Before I could look, a brown strike ran by, grabbing Kuma and running off. 

"No!" Matthew called. 

I rushed after the thing, keeping a close eye on it. The others couldn't move fast in the snow and with the trees by I could. I kept close to the creature, making out some things on it. It had a little tail. Hooves with long legs. Tiny little antlers. It was a moose! 

The moose stopped by a pond before dropping Kuma into the water. I gasped a bit, rushing over but the moose stopped me. I watched has the toy sank bellow my reach. I felt crushed. Matthew loved that toy and now I couldn't get it back. I was about to yell at the moose when the water stared to bubble a bit. I watched has a little polar bear cub that looked just like Kuma crawled out of the water, looking at me. 

"Who are you?" it asked in a soft voice. 

"I'm Dika." 

"Do you own me?" 

"No, but I can take you to who does!"

"What happened again?" Francis asked, trying to make sense of why his son had a living polar bear again. 

"I told you, he just came to life!" I explained again. 

"And why do you have a moose?" Papa asked. I hugged my moose tighter. 

"She is my friend and she doesn't want to leave me alone!" 

The two were about to argue when Arthur chuckled a bit. The two men looked at him. 

"I think it's wonderful that Matthew and Dika have pets now. After all it is quiet a magically thing to have." 

I didn't understand why Papa and Francis looked ready to murder Arthur till later. It turns out Arthur had used his magic to turn Kuma into a living animal for Matthew to have someone to really talk to. He never said how in the spell and figured that my moose was magically it some way. I didn't believe it since all that lazy thing does is sleep and eat. But after some arguing and talking they finally agreed to let us keep them. 

Matthew kept his bear named Kuma and still has him to this day. Stupid thing doesn't remember his name though. Meanwhile I still own my little moose. Oh, I named her Rita by the way. Thought it matched. Rita and Kuma are best friends because of the way Kuma came to be.
