"What's this lunch?" Claudia teased eyeing the small children who stared at them having stopped there game.

"ha ha,no",he looked to an older women who came out and was handing out small coins to the kids."she ,gives her own money to the kids ,so they can make a wish"

"So?' Claudia was frowning more. ''If she wants to go broke she can."

Luce sighed."i give up"

"Give up on what?" Claudia frowned more.

Luce looked to her."trying to show you that its okay to dream and hope...."

"But it doesn't make sense for that old woman to give up her money when she could use it for other things." Claudia shrugged. ''Dreaming and hoping get you nowhere you have to do it or keep still."

Luce sighed.Clearly they were raised differently."hey wnat to find the others?"

"sure." Claudia took his hand not sparing a backward glance for the children who were racing around laughing.

Luce smiled as they walked along."i think we found them",he said pointing to a tree

'Hey!" Armand waved to the keeping a tight hold on Ace's leash.

"He's so excited...is that a dog?" Claudia grinned at the puppy.

Luce blinked."looks liek it",he said grinning

Kayuki looked up at them."hey you too!"

Claudia hugged Kayuki with a smile. "I'm glad we found you." she nodded to Armand.

"Hello Lady Claudia, Luce." Armand bowed to Claudia.

Luce smiled some."you guys look like your having fun"

Kayuki smiled."why so glad?something wrong"

"Of course nothing wrong. We had a great time." Claudia grinned at Luce.

Armand blinked at Ace let Claudia pick him up. ''At least he likes you.'' he was glad for that if the puppy hadn't gotten along with the others he would have been disappointed.

Kayuki smiled."good"

"unless Luce is unhappy." Claudia held up Ace who licked Luce face then bark softly tail wagging happily.

Luce lauhed."im very happy.He's cute",he said gently patting its head

Kayuki walked beside Armand."so cute"

Claudia blushed a little. "Thanks. Hey how are you going to take Ace out in the morning?"
