I hold on to Mr. Crush (Her stuffed turtle) close because he always makes me calm when I'm upset. Mrs. Jennie said that my brothers would love me, even though I look really ugly. But I'm also really excited to see them; I hope they can play with Mr. Crush and me. Oh! And now that we are in Florida, we can swim too. Mama says that Florida is like an island; it's surrounded by water and sea fishies.

I'm gonna make friends with all the sea fishies!

While I and Mrs. Jennie and Mr. Squirt were looking for my brothers, the older people kept staring at me weirdly. I was a bit uncomfortable, so I kept my head down. But then I remember what mama use to tell me,

"Mamas, keep your chin up. Show them that you're not afraid, and keep them wondering. Don't let them faze you."

I didn't really understand what she meant, but if it meant being brave, then I'll be the bravest girl in the whole world! No, wait-

UNIVERSE!

I smiled and lifted my head. My eyes gazed at a big sign with sparkles and balloons with my name on it. I gasp; I think that's them.  I pull on Mrs. Jennie's sleeve, pointing her in the direction of the sign.

I try to hold my excitement, but I couldn't help but jump around. Mrs. laughs as she guides me to them. Mrs. Jennie starts talking to a man, which I'm pretty sure is my oldest brother, but I slipped straight past them and to great my other brothers.

"Hi! My name is Annabella, but you can call me Anna and I'm 5 years old!" I said, holding up 5 fingers; yup, I can count all the way to 50 too!

They all stared down at me with smiles, "Hello Annabella, my name is Alexander." He crouches down to my height, and I couldn't help but stare at him.

"You're so pretty Alex." I blurted out without meaning to. The boys behind him laugh, and Alex gives me a bright smile before picking me up in his arms.

"Hi, beautiful, my name is Oliver. There's no need for you to know the rest of the boys because I'm going to be your favorite anyway." Oliver pokes my stomach, and I giggle.

"Hi Anna, I'm Joshua. And I'm obviously gonna be your favorite brother; every princess needs a big and brave knight and shining armor, no?"

I smile, "No! Because I'll be the knight! And I'll protect you." I couldn't hold back my giggle, "Because you gonna be the princess in this story, yeah? All of you."

"No way, I'm not dressing up in a pink dress." Said a boy who looked younger than Joshua and Alex but a bit older than Oliver.

"You!" I point at him, "Speak your name, please!" I always say please and thank you because I'm a very polite person.

"Tyler."

"Tyty."

He groans, and the other boys laugh,

"No, Tyler"

"Tyty," I smile brightly.

"Why, you little-"

"Ignore him, princess; my name is Noah. Are you hungry? Do you want some nuggies?"

I gasp; I love nuggies!!!

"Yes, please!"

𓆉

Noah and Alex order us some food, but, TyTy and Oliver were the only ones who got food. The others said they weren't hungry, but I believe they were just too lazy to get their own food and try to steal mine.
