Ani and Charlie had never gotten along, not since - well, if Ani was going to put a date on it, or a First Event, it was the second time they met, which would have been the third preschool Ani had gone to, the good one, the one that was fun, the one where Ani fit in.

There were three things wrong with that, possibly 5, and it was a title only 5 words long in the Imperial language, one in the explorer's native tongue - Pialejiarnna.
