Hope couldn't help but smile back at him. Imagine someone being so happy about getting a bag! And it wasn't even as if she had provided it, it was just part of the class. Hmmm, this 'playing it cool' wasn't as easy as it looked. Hope expected it would take some practice to get good at it.

But...unicorn hair?! Yes, it must be!!

"Oh, yes, it is!!!" Hope breathed, reaching out to touch the hair softly before the bag closed over it. Then she sighed to herself and walked on with her group.

Were those goofy sounds?

As in… a unicorn’s hooves?

Ary shot his groupmates a look. Were they hearing this?!
Suddenly Ary stopped dead in the path in front of her, causing Hope to nearly run into him. And then she heard it...something moving, very softly but nearby in the forest next to them. Not a bird, or a hare, or a fox, or a squirrel. Something with hooves. Like a deer, or a... or a... Hope hardly dared hope for it.

"Unicorns!" she whispered softly.
