Against the backdrop of her darkened bedroom, Annie could just make out the shining silver brilliance it cast in her direction. Or at least, to an over-attentive 10 year old, it seemed like it was shining just for her. Covers quickly tossed aside, Annie did her best to tiptoe closer for a better look. Ever so quietly she crept, fearing she might wake Mom, Dad, or even Chris who was soundly asleep just down the hallway. No, this was Annie’s secret investigation, her personal discovery. She would much rather uncover its mysteries uninterrupted and savor the moment without having to go into lengthy explanations she may not have answers to. Annie’s nose quickly pressed hard against the grate. Her big blue eyes shone like little diamonds.
On the other side of the grate, which might as well have been the other side of an entirely new world, Meep could only see big round saucers, like little stars, pointed in her direction. Lying close by was the object of both their interest and Meep knew it was her responsibility to ensure it was kept safe at all costs. Secret it was, and special, and it needed to stay that way.

The building stood tall and majestic, like a castle...
