Under the quiet cloud-arch, Kira pressed felt, ribbon, and three shiny beads into a lumpy star badge. She wanted to make a welcome gift for Pip, the little sky unicorn, all by herself. But her silver thread ran out with a tiny snap. Snip! Kira tucked the unfinished badge in her pocket and stepped past the soft grass tufts, where the clouds smelled like cool rain.
