Dory Fantasmagory: Tiny Tough Page 4

by Abby Hanlon


  After our final challenge, an obstacle course in the backyard in the dark, we have an awards ceremony. Violet made awards for everyone!

  I get third place.

  Luke gets second place.

  And George gets first place! The gold medal.

  That night, George and I stay up late and eat cookies and nobody ever finds out.

  The next day, Violet makes me a friendship bracelet.

  And then she makes a whole bunch more. “Who are they for?” I ask her.

  “I have a lot of friends,” she says.

  “Really?” I ask.

  “Some real and some imaginary,” she says. She winks at me and smiles.

  THE END.
