      "Really Drake again?" Amy stared at her twin in disgust, "I've told you a million times, just because it looks like you have a tattoo you don't look any cooler."
      "But."-
      "I'm not finished,  and why a stupid lion, Mr. Dragon, wouldn't one of them make more sense! I mean it's basically what your name means."  She stormed over to his side of their huge shared room glancing around and once again realizing how lucky she was that her brother had thought of the partition in the middle.  He sat there reading a book with a wet rag on his arm.
      "All right, Amirite, but we have more important things to worry about.  I've been looking through all my science books and nothing points to anyone ever finding a way to stop time, and no one even close." Drake sighs turning to the next page in his book.
      " I told it was just a prank and some weird optical illusion or whatever, it doesn't matter." She grabbed a basketball and went to the door, "And in case your wondering I'm not going to throw this to see how fast it falls compared to an egg.  I'm taking it to the park to play with my friends."  With that she slammed the door and stormed out of the house.

      At the park Amaria found her friends Jackson,  Claudia, and Emily in their normal place under a tree.  "Ok two on two losing team owes the winners candy.  Jack, over here your on my team.  Ok girls, and one guy I guess, go!"  Amy passed the ball to Jackson and it bounced away.  "Jack what are you...  wait where's Jack? Hey anyone!"  She span around but no one was there. Amy blinked and when she opened her eyes a draped figure stood a few feet away from her.  "Who are you, how did you get there so fast."
      "Oh you're worrying about the wrong things miss." The man whispered in an almost snake like voice.
