"What is it supposed to be?" Sibby asked.
"A fairy!" the other said.

"Do you always have to be so literal? Come on! Let's get going."
Sibby grudgingly followed her classmates down the street. She could think of so many other things she could be doing right now besides going to a fancy dress party with these girls who didn't even give her a say in her own costume.
