PROLOGUE

The seven friends were having a good time. Apollo II took out his father's two telescope inventions and they were viewing celestial bodies— the sky, the planets and constellations.

"That's the big dipper out there," Lobo claimed proudly.

"That's the little dipper," Julius said.

"The archer, can you see?" Lobo asked Julius.

"I see Orion, the great hunter," said Julius.

"When will you allow me to peek?" Hugh couldn't wait. "It's been all yours all night."

"Daytime is yours," Lobo said. They all laughed. Hugh pretended to squeeze Lobo's neck.

Andrea wanted a peek also. "I want my turn, too."

"You, too, can wait tomorrow," Julius said.

"Tomorrow is too late," Andrea said. She wanted to kid her friends so she changed into a she-wolf and growled as she tried to scare them. Hugh, Lobo, Apollo and Julius were laughing.

Tatin and Matthias were talking.

Then, something moved behind the grass.

They thought that they were in for another adventure.

Then, a kitten jumped from the bush. Tatin and Matthias' hearts also jumped a little. They picked the kitten, and smiled.
