Ecstatic from there scores, Clara praised Comet with so much love, that she thought everything would always be perfect.

But she was wrong.

She walked out of the arena, her parents, they were crying.

Everything, stopped.

"I'm so sorry Clara," Her mother choked to her.

"It's time for him to go back."
