On the morning of her 10th birthday, Avery woke up to a glittering shimmer floating in her room. She rubbed her eyes. It wasn’t a dream—there was a swirling, golden bubble floating right above her bed!
Taped to it was a note:
? “Happy Birthday, Avery! You’re now a double-digit dreamer. Step inside to celebrate in a way only 10-year-olds can!” —The Birthday Time Keepers ?
Avery giggled, grabbed her favorite sparkly sneakers, and stepped inside the bubble. Whoosh!
In a blink, she was standing in a magical world filled with clocks that told jokes, trees that baked cupcakes, and balloons that carried wishes. And there, standing proudly, were her friends and family—Kiki, MJ, Loren, Dad, Danielle, and even Karl—all waving and wearing party hats made of stardust!
But this wasn’t just any party.
The Time Bubble had a surprise: Avery would get to visit every birthday she’s ever had, and glimpse a little bit of the amazing person she’s growing into.
From her first birthday when she smashed a cake with her whole hand, to her fifth when she wore fairy wings, to this very moment—turning 10, bold and bright, with big ideas and an even bigger heart.
After her journey, Avery was given a final gift: a tiny watch with a glowing center. The Birthday Time Keepers whispered:
“This will remind you: your time is magical. Use it for good, for fun, and for kindness.”
Avery beamed.
And when the bubble gently brought her home, she hugged everyone extra tight and shouted:
“This is the BEST birthday ever!”
? The End ?
