It all started, in a small classroom in Oregon, Phoenix.

Amy: "Once Upon a time, there lived a young girl named little red riding hood. Little red wanted to go visit her sick grandma in the woods. She made sandwiches for her and decided to head-off. But by the time she arrived at her grandma's house, she found her asleep at her bed.  And when red leaned a little closer, she noticed something rather strange about her grandma. She had big ears, pointy teeth and deep red eyes. And little did red know..."

This. Was Amy Vernoly. And just like any other kid in the world, she loves to read. In this particular situation though, summer was almost around the corner and the only thing that she had to do was to complete her school demerits. In this case, reading to a bunch of kindergartners. Fortunately, the school bell finally rung.

Kids: Awwwwwww!!!!

Amy: I'm sorry guys! I promise to continue the story tomorrow.

Boy: PLEASE AMY!!! Can't you just finish it?!

Girl: PLEASE MS. AMY!!!

Amy: I'm really really really sorry kids, but I have to go. My ride's here. I PROMISE that I'll continue reading tomorrow. Bye KIDS!!!

As she gathered her things, a lean man was standing right outside the classroom.

Toby: Well, that was a pretty long session! I can't believe you told them THAT story.

Amy: Of course, why wouldn't I? You know that I love that classic tale!

As they were walking to the car, random questions started popping in Amy's mind, she couldn't help her self. So she then asked her brother;

"Do you believe..."

Toby: In the story?

Amy: No, I meant... ughhh....

Toby: The what?

Amy couldn't muster out enough energy to spit it out. She thought that it would might sound totally ridiculous when her brother hears it. So instead, she blocked off the idea entirely.

Amy: You know what, never mind...

With a look of disinterest, Toby couldn't just stop staring at her. SO to break the awkward silence, he then blurted out:

"Hmph, C'mon! Let's  head home. Dad might be looking for us."

Amy: Not if we make it there first!

*And, in case you guys are curious and confused like Toby, here's what should have been the question of Amy: "Do you believe in werewolves?" I mean, ridiculous... isn't it?*
