Location: The old park near their elementary school.

The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows over the sandbox. Seven-year-old Keifer sat on the highest bar of the jungle gym, looking down at his "squad"—Aries, Percy, and Yuri.
"This is our spot,"Keifer declared, his small arms crossed."No one else is allowed."
Suddenly, a loud thud came from the bushes. Out crawled a girl with messy pigtails and a smudge of dirt on her nose. She was holding a jar full of fireflies.
"Move it, Grumpy,"she said, looking straight at Keifer. "You're blocking the best view of the stars."
Keifer's face turned bright red."Who are you? You can't talk to me like that!"
"I'm Jay-jay," she shrugged, climbing up right next to him without an ounce of fear. She opened the jar slightly, letting the glow illuminate her face.
Keifer opened his mouth to yell, but the words got stuck in his throat. She smelled like sunshine and grass.
Beside the jungle gym, Yuri watched her with wide, sparkling eyes. He didn't say a word, but he slowly reached out to help her steady herself on the bar.
"I like your fireflies,"Yuri whispered softly.
Jay-jay grinned at Yuri, then stuck her tongue out at Keifer. And just like that, the "Kings" of the neighborhood found their Queen—and their first real headache.
