Meteora was hopping up and down in her new crib, giggling and smiling all the while. Eclipsa ran a hand through her hair and sighed in frustration as Star, Marco, Tom, and Janna watched.
"Meteora, it's time for bed." She said.
"No tire!" The little girl babbled as she hopped all around the room.
"She's pretty hyper tonight, huh?" Tom commented.
"Yeah, I probably shouldn't have let her polish off the leftover Halloween candy I brought with me." Janna commented, casually tossing a plastic pumpkin bucket to the side.
"What?!" Eclipsa exclaimed; she glared at Janna. "You told me a rabid raccoon ate it! Whatever a raccoon is."
"Rabid raccoon, your daughter. Hey, what's the difference?" Janna shrugged her shoulders; Eclipsa sighed and shook her head in frustration.
"Hey, why don't we try to tell her a story?" Marco chimed in. "It always works when I watch Mariposa."
"Oh! Good idea, Marco." Eclipsa said before she reached out and quickly grabbed her daughter from the ceiling before she could fall. "But there are so many stories. Which one should we tell?"
"I know of a few..." Tom said as he pulled out a book of scary stories.
"Tom, no horror stories." Star intervened, grabbing the book and tossing it aside. "What Meteora needs is..." She went over to the bookshelf and pulled out a book of fairy tales. "...one of these."
"Fairy tales? Please." Tom scoffed. "I'm way too old for those." He sat down on the bed and pulled out a comic book. "Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna read something a little more sophisticated."
Marco took a glance at the cover of the comic Tom was holding and raised an eyebrow. "The Haunted Lighthouse? Seriously, dude? That's just grade A GORE."
"You read comics by Cecil Newtmincer, too?!" Janna exclaimed.
"Yeah!" They high-fived.
"Okay, okay. That's enough." Eclipsa said as she put Meteora back in her crib. "Who's going to tell a story first?"
"Ooh, ooh, ooh! I'll go! I've got a good one." Star cried out, excitedly raising her hand.
"Good. Go ahead, Star." Eclipsa said as she sat down next to Meteora's crib.
Star stood up, cleared her throat, and began. "Once upon a time..."
