In a happy land named Cubis, there was a girl called Lucia. Lucia was a quiet girl, but she was very pretty, with the bluest eyes and a smile that hang around her lips. Lucia enjoys exploring the unexplored places in Cubis. But most of all, Lucia loves to dream, at school, at home, on the bus. Because of this, everyone thinks that Lucia is abstruse, except for her best friend, Matilda. Matilda is a smart girl but is not very patient. She feels that others know Lucia wrong and wants other people to treat Lucia better.

"Want to ride our bikes tomorrow?" I asked.

"Sure. See you tomorrow."

I went home happily, hoping that tomorrow would come soon. So I prepared lunch and rolled my bicycle down the port.

"Are you girls going to the park tomorrow?" Asked Mrs. Walters, my mother.

"Yes, mom." I answered.

"Just be careful not to go exploring. You know what happens very well if you get caught going to a prohibited area." Mother reminded.

The next day, I rode her bike to meet my best friend. I wonder if mother would give me a new bike instead of this old bike she was given when she was seven. As I was thinking, something extraordinary happened. For a fraction of a second, I saw her bike change.

"That's weird", I thought, "What happened?"

I told myself that sI had seen wrong, and continued to ride my bike to the park. After a while, I looked at her watch, "Oh no!" I thought, "I'm late!" I pedaled faster to the park.

When I arrived at the park, I looked around, trying to find Matilda.

"Halt!"

I froze and turned around, anxiety filling my body.
