Sable hesitated, then nodded very, very slowly. Quietly, like a kitten testing water, he climbed onto the back of the banana. Boo cheered, "Banana power, activate!!" and zoomed forward.
Sable's eyes widened in wonder as the banana floated around the room, his small fingers gripping Boo's shoulders tightly. His mouth opened in the tiniest smile, and Alina's heart melted behind her camera.
She chuckled softly to herself. With Boo's dramatic shouts and Sable's quiet amazement, the whole scene looked straight out of an anime.
Meanwhile, Drake shouted, "I CALL NEXT TURN!!" and tried to chase after them, only to trip over Rocky, who was busy arranging three pebbles in a perfect line.

The reaction was instant.
"NOOOOO!!" Drake groaned, throwing his head down dramatically on his desk and hugging it with both chubby arms. "My poor dragon brain can't do numbers today!!"
