Chapter 1: Kate Gives Dora a Birthday Gift

It was 9:00 in the morning and the clock alarm went off and Dora woke up and she turned off the alarm.

Dora gasped and said "It's my birthday today!"

Dora got out of bed and brushed her hair and got off her pajamas and got into her clothes.

Dora is 10 years old now!

Dora got back to her room and sat on her bed for a little bit and looked at the window until there was a knock on the door.

"It's open!" Dora said. The door opened and it was Kate that knocked on the Door.

"Hola, Kate!" Dora greeted.

Kate waved and said "Happy Birthday, Dora!"

"Aw! Gracias, Kate." said Dora.

"I have a surprise birthday gift for you!" said Kate as she sat next to her .

"Really? What is it!" said Dora.

"Close your eyes." Kate said as Dora giggled and closed her eyes and Kate said "No peeking!" Kate put the pink paintbrush on her lap.

"Okay, now, open your eyes!" Kate said as Dora gasped and saw what was on her lap.

"A new paintbrush! I love it! Thank you, Kate!" said Dora.

"Your welcome, D!" said Kate as she and Dora hugged each other and Kate said "You're my best friend and I wanted to give you a Birthday present."

"Well, I gotta go. Bye, Dora, and happy birthday!" said Kate waving goodbye.

Dora waved back and she thought for a second 'Could my friends be forgetting about my birthday'?

Dora walked out of bed and went outside for a walk around the city.
