"Honey? Where are you?" a soft female voice asked, looking around in a train wagon. Receiving no answer she tried again. "Danni, honey, come out now, please. We need to practice for tonight. Dick is also searching for you and your dad is already in the practice tent, waiting for us." Still receiving no answer, she crossed her arms and smirked. "I'm going to call them if you don't come out now."

A small girl, about nine years old, quickly came out of hiding from under the closet that was in the wagon.

"Mommy, don't tell Dick where I am. We're playing hide and seek." The girl begged standing up.

"The game is over. Now go change and come to the tent." the girl's mom said turning around to leave the girl to change in private. Glancing back and seeing that she hadn't moved, she decided to taunt the little girl.

"If you don't start changing now, I'm declaring Dick the winner of the game." She said with an amused voice. Danni paled a little at the thought of losing the title as the ultimate winner in hide and seek, she always found Dick easily and he never found her.

"No no no, that won't be necessary mommy. I-I'll start changing now." Danni said waving her hands and shaking her head, running to get her suit.

Her mother watched her run towards the closed and smiled victoriously. "Good. Be in the practice tent in five minutes." She ordered with a sweet voice. When Danny nodded, her mom left to leave her to change.

Danni quickly took off her clothes and started putting on her suit. It was a white sleeveless spandex suit with purple boots, belt and collar. She wore her raven black hair in a ponytail and had little bird earrings in.

Her mom went to where she last saw Dick searching for Danni. When she arrived just outside their train cart, she saw that he was still searching for Danni. "Honey, you can stop searching for her." She said. Dick turned around to face his mother with an annoyed look on his face.

"Don't tell me you found her so easily. That way I'm never going to win." He said annoyed crossing his arms.

"Why do you always want to win?" she asked, even though she knew the answer. Dick looked at her like she just asked the dumbest question he ever heard.

"It's a twin thing, you wouldn't understand." He stated as if it was obvious.

His mom smiled in amusement. "Oh, but I think I would." She said.

He signed and looked away as if he was ashamed. "It's because she is the younger one, but she always beats me, comforts me and helps me when you guys can't." He confessed. "I'm supposed to be the older brother who takes care of his younger sister but I feel like it's the other way around."

His mom placed a hand on his shoulder. Dick looked up to see his mom smiling at him. "You're only older by a few seconds. She just has a kind heart and can't stand to see you upset. But you also forget the times when you comfort her, make her happy again and help her. Do you remember the time that she was playing with her friends form the city we lived in, before we went back to the circus, and she came home crying?" his mom asked with a knowing smile.

Dick nodded his head. "She went to play with her best friends at the fair. But after a hour she needed to leave 'cause she had to perform with her dance studio. But there was a mix-up by the studio, and she only needed to dance in the final. 3 hours after she left the performance was over so she went back to her friends. But they weren't happy that she left them only to dance in the final, so they said really mean thing to her and said they weren't friends anymore. Danni was so heartbroken, 'cause they were her only friends she had and the only ones in her class at school that didn't hated her except for me, that she ran home crying her eyes out. When she came home you and dad weren't there so I had to cheer her up." He said.
