'''This editing thing is actually super fun, I'mma do the rest for fun. Although I'm a little confused on the little sister's name, did you misspell Brittney? Because Sophia and Brinley sounds like a prime example of Aerith and Bob.'''

Chapter 1

"This skate session is over, please exit the rink, and thank you for coming," The loudspeaker blared. Sophia did some final tricks before skating off towards the exit, quickly leaving the ice.. A few people clapped, and Sophia tugged on the bottom of her blue hoodie, a nervous habit of hers.

I feel like I'm forgetting something, Sophia thought as she tugged off her skates, shoving them into her backpack. ''Oh, yeah. Tomorrow's my birthday.'' She walked the few blocks to her house, right in time for dinner. "Sorry I'm late! I'll be right back, just gotta feed Luna first!" Sophia dashed upstairs, quickly shaking some food into her chinchilla's food bowl and dropping her backpack. She walked back dows, and sat at the table next to her sister Brinley.

"How was skating?" Her dad asked.

"Pretty good, it wasn't super crowded, so I had plenty of space to skate without knocking a little kid onto the ground."

"How come I couldn't go? It's Friday, so as you very well know, I've only got one worksheet, which I clearly needed an entire afternoon on, despite finishing it in half an hour,"​​​​​​ Brinley complained. "And it's not like I could've done it over the weekend, right?"

"Speaking of weekends, isn't there a birthday over the weekend?" Sophia's dad asked.

"Yes. Several people all over the world have birthdays this weekend. In fact, someone is being born as I say this," Brinley said dryly. "But seriously, we do need to do something special for her sixteenth birthday. So what do you want to do, Solaria?"

Brinley always called her Solaria. Something about saying she needed a fancier name so it made sense that her name was so fancy. "I don't know, book shopping? Anyways, I'm ready to turn in for the night, may I be excused? Thanks, bye!"

Sophia ran upstairs, quickly brushing her teeth and putting on pajamas, before grabbing a copy of Flashback off her bookshelf and letting the warm drone of filler sooth her to sleep.
