Above the quietest cloud, Wren tucked one warm wish under a spotted party hat and waited for the first guest to arrive. Balloons bobbed on their strings, slick as soap bubbles, and confetti clicked softly against Wren’s points. The biggest balloon carried birthday words across its round face.

Wren opened the wish like a window, and the echo tumbled out, bright and ringing. It bounced from balloon to balloon until every star, dot, and streamer seemed to answer.
“Share it louder,” Wren whispered. The echo did, and joy rolled through the sky party in silver loops. If you peek at the biggest balloon, maybe you can guess where the extra wish first learned to sing.
