Chailyn's smile broadened as she ran, bare feet padding in rhythm on the damp forest floor. Ahead, Danny and Joseph were laughing harder than ever. "What?!"she would yell, every once and a while, hoping to be let in on their jokes. Only once she had thought she'd heard an answer, but it had sounded like Mara, and her sister could not be here. This was a different land. A magic land. A land only Chailyn could come to. She stifled and giggle and cranked up her speed. Her land. No Mara, no mom, no Juji. Only her. And Danny and Joseph.

She could hear them whispering somewhere closer in front of her now. They had stopped laughing, but they sounded excited. "What's going on?"She asked quietly, finally slowing in her long, exhausting run. "Danny? Joseph?"For a moment, a strange tingle of nerves floated in Chailyn's stomach, but Danny's voice rang out, and her smile sprung back onto her face.

It's nigh, now," he called, "just a little farther."

She hadn't even seen the surprise yet, but Her Land was so much fun. She never wanted it to end.

Danny and Joseph were laughing again.
