The Radiant Terriers headed out of town on Saturday for their first gig. They performed some songs they had written for the gig. The crowd enjoyed them, and their gig was a success. Leila looked at her mates and said, "This is our ticket to success. We're going to be famous." Greeley said, "I don't know about that." Abigail said, "I do. The audience loved us. If the right person comes to us, we'll have a record deal." Sammy remarked, "That's right. If the bullies could see us now!" Greeley said, "Indeed. I can't see them on a stage like this." After dinner, the foursome retired to their hotel. It wasn't an extravagant hotel, but the beds were comfortable. As Leila settled down for the night, she began to notice that she was becoming close with her band mates. She had never been this close with anyone other than her aunt and uncle, not even her childhood friends. For once in her life, Leila had true friends, and they were going to be famous together. She just knew it. Whenever Leila had a feeling about something, it was usually right. She went to sleep with a smile on her face, eager to see what tomorrow will bring.
When Jane's birthday arrived, she got everything she had hoped to get. Her favorite gift was a guitar. Her father said, "I know you always wanted one. I could tell it when you'd play the guitars in music stores." She said, "It's so amazing! Thank you!" After playing on her guitar for a while, Jane said to herself, "I enjoyed playing the guitars at music stores. It's great that I finally have one of my own." Just then, her mother said, "We have one more present for you." Jane said, "Really?! What is it?!" Just then, a Siberian Husky puppy ran up to her. Jane said, "Wow! I always wanted a Husky!" Her mother said, "We saw her at the shelter, and we knew she'd be a perfect fit for you. Her name is Shiloh." Jane said, "Like the first Husky they had on Gone to the Snow Dogs!" Of course, Jane's puppy, Shiloh, had a different coat color, red and white. As she went to bed that night, Jane was confident about starting at her new school the next day.

Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I lost my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about music like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best friends ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.
