"Emmy, do I really hafta?" Ember felt a slight tug on her leather pants as her little brother's voice piped up.
"I'm sorry, Danny, but Clockwork says you gotta go. I don't want you to go either, but our Mom and Dad can't take care of us both with our baby brother on the way. The humans will be better parents for you," she told him.
The little boy sniffled. "I don't want to be a human, Emmy."
Ember bent down and gently looked him in the eyes. "Danny, it won't be so bad. I promise you, I'll learn to play my guitar better and when I do, I'll come and find you."
"It's cold out there in the human world, Emmy," her little brother complained.
"It's September, Danny," she laughed. "It's nothing compared to December's bone-chilling cold or the coldness of the stars in space."
"What's space?" Danny asked, cocking his head curiously.
"How about if I tell you, my dear child?" the voice of the Time Master spoke from below them where they floated above a balcony in his tower. "I know a lot about the human world."
Danny released his big sister's hand. "Really?"
"Like a parade," came the reply.
"I like parades," Danny smiled up at the old blue ghost.
"I thought you might," the Clockwork Chronos answered, smiling back at the boy.
