"All that's left is the star." Seth declared from his comfortable seat on the couch.

Ryan took the antique silver star out of the box and began to climb the ladder. Ryan was reaching out to place the star at the top of the tree when the phone rang, startling him. The star slipped out of Ryan's hand and Ryan reached to catch it, loosing his grip on the ladder. Both the star and Ryan tumbled to the floor.

"Ryan?"

When Seth saw his brother was alright, he grinned.

"You romantic! Trying to catch a falling star!"

Then Seth ran.
