Olee asked Alexandra her soft dolls in the shelf and she offered them for him to play with. Suddenly, she remembered her old toys in the attic. She went upstairs and she looked up at the door on the ceiling that was between the two rooms. She have to use the ladder to reach and climb into the attic. That's too heavy for her to bring upstairs from the basement and that's why she never wanted to go to the attic but now she really wanted to. A chair would not be enough to reach the door, given her minimum height. An idea popped on her head.

"Dawne, can you come upstairs?", she called him. Dawne came upstairs while staring at her phone, reading about World War one and two. 

He saw her waiting for him, while looking up at the ceiling.

"Dawne, can you try and reach that door?", she pointed to the ceiling.  

Dawne's eyes followed up to the ceiling and he said, "I don't even have to try."

He sent a wave of his Energy and the door opened with a loud creak. "What is up there?"

"It's the attic. We store things up there. I have some of my old toys and some playing stuffs up there. I want give them to Olee.", she said, looking up at him in awe. 

"Oh.", he inserted the phone into his pocket and jumped one time, effortlessly reaching the ceiling, he climbed into the attic and looked down at Alexandra. She stared at him, with her mouth agape. "Do you want to come up, darling?"

"Yeah, wait, I'll get a chair, you have to help me up.", she was about to go into her room.

"Or...", Dawne stopped her with his telekinesis. Alexandra felt tingling sparkles around her and she felt her socked foot leaving the floor. She instantly looked up at the 'alien in the attic'. She was freaking floating!

"Oh my god!", she was amused.

Dawne leaned down, reaching her and wrapping his right hand around her small waist, and he securely placed her right beside him in the dark attic. 

"Oh my gosh, I felt that! There was this tingling thing around me. Is that the...?"

"Yes, it is the Blue Energy.", he chuckled. 

"Wow.", she giggled and slowly stood up carefully. "We need light. Can you give me the-"

She was cut off as he materialized a bright shining sword. It illuminated almost half of the dark attic. "Is this better, darling?"

"I was about to ask my phone so that I can turn on the flash but yeah, this much better.", she smiled at him and saw his face behind the glowing sword. He looked so majestic and with the smile he was wearing, he looked so handsome.

She took her eyes off when she felt that he was staring at her too. She walked to the right side wall and opened the windows, welcoming the sunlight inside the attic after years. She went to the next window and opened it too.

Dawne vanished the sword and looked around the dusty area, filled with boxes, cobwebs, chests, some old furnitures and two shelves in the corner of the room. He saw a white dress hanging near the shelf and was looking at it closely. 

"That's my grandma's wedding dress.", she said, walking to it and she touched the old fabric filled with cherished memories. She saw the big chest under the dress and opened it. It made a groaning sound due to the years of dust and rust.

Dawne stood next to her and looked into the chest filled with many toys, playing boards, albums, clothes and pictures. He looked one of the pictures and a sweet smile made a way to his lips at the recognition of the familiar features of a girl, "Look at that. Look who was so little and pretty in that cute little pink frock!"
