"Higher, Tuney, higher!" Lily cried as her sister stood behind her swing, ready to push her even harder.

"Are you sure, Lily?" Petunia asked the giggling girl. "You're going high enough already."

"Higher!" Lily just shouted back among her giggles. From her highest point, she could see just above the tops of the trees that circled the playground. If she was just a bit higher, she could possibly even see the top of their little house down the street.

"Lily," Petunia said worriedly, though she still pushed her sister as she asked. How bad would it be if Lily just went a bit higher.

That was the push she needed. Lily felt as if she could soar right above the trees if she just wished hard enough. She extended her arms and shook herself free of the swing and jumped at the highest point.

"Lily!" Petunia cried, running around the swing to where she expected Lily to fall, her arms extended to catch her little sister. But Lily went straight over her head, higher than she had seen anyone jump before, her long red hair whipping behind her in the wind. Petunia couldn't believe her eyes.

Lily giggled, barely landing on her feet a few yards away. "Tuney! Did you see that! I flew!"

Petunia looked between the smiling face of her sister and the swing falling in descending arcs before she gave a shaky smile. "Yes, you did."

Lily ran back and grabbed Petunia's arm. "Now it's your turn!"
