"Are you sure it's a cat?" Agnett asked the little girl who was drawing with brown crayon on a paper. Her blue eyes radiated in the sun and her cute pony tail seemed like a lotus blooming on the head.

"Yeah. It's her nose, her eyes, these are her tiny paws and it's the tail! Isn't she beautiful?" She pointed to every part and said the name of the creature who seemed more like a monster instead of a cat. Her words seemed broken and immature but it sounded so adorable.

Agnett tried to contain her laughter. "Definitely. Why don't you colour it?" She picked another crayon and handed it to her before leaving to check up on other things. It was 7 and the guests started to fill up.

"Mr. Shannon, you really got the taste, eh! The decoration is wonderful." A man around the age of Mr. Shannon complimented him and he chuckled at his careless way of talking.

"Well, I just judged the dish but the cook is someone else. Let me introduce her to you." Mr. Shannon called out for Agnett who was keeping a close eye on everyone and welcomed the guests. She excused herself and walked up to him.

"Yes grandpa?"

"Meet Mr. Davidson. He's one of the top most experienced oncologists who also owns an NGO hospital for Cancer patients." Agnett gave him a warm smile and shook his hand in respect.

"And this is Agnett. The one who prepared the whole event, from the look to the management." Mr. Shannon proudly presented his granddaughter.
"It's nice to meet you sir."

"Pleasure is mine dear. The park is a real Beauty. Nice work." He complimented her and she felt satisfied. The days of her hard work finally paid off.

"Thank You so much sir. Hope you're enjoying the best." She said and he nodded curtly. After a while Xavier came up to Agnett and mumbled something into her ear. She nodded her head before excusing herself to the corner.

"What happened, tell me now?" She asked carefully.

"The stage is done and the whole projection system is in position. We're ready for the kids." He explained and Agnett nodded in excitement.

"Let's go." They both went to the groups of men and women who belonged to the NGO community. She informed them to take the kids outside the park and all of them ran outside in enthusiasm.

Agnett herself helped some of the handicapped kids on wheelchairs and settled all of them comfortably in front of the projector.

There were around 600 children in which somewhat 200 belonged to handicapped or disable group and around 150 belonged to the cancer group. The rest of them were orphans who were taken care of by the Orphanages.

"Okay so, what would you guys like to watch? We have lots of things here and you can choose any of them." Agnett stood on a raised tile and asked loudly so all of them could hear her.

Suddenly the whole place filled with screams and murmurs as every child suggested different things. "Okay okay, what about we vote?" She suggested and they agreed.

"Okay at first, uh... we'll go...this! Who's with beauty and the beast?"
Half of the children raised their hands and she chuckled. "Okay, next one, Luca?"

This time lesser kids raised their hands. "Fine, what about Coco?"

The hands were average this time.

"Okay guys, this is the last one and then we'll choose the one which has the most votes and second most votes. Let's see...yes! Who's with Encanto?!" She shouted and almost everyone raised their hand.

"We'll go with Encanto first, then beauty and the beast. Are you ready kids?!"

"YEESS!" They shouted in unison, almost giving Agnett the adrenaline.
