With a few shopping bags full of supplies she'd need for school, Lexi Carlton made her way into Eeylop's Owl Emporium. She couldn't spend all her money on herself, now could she? Poor little Apollo was in dire need of some treats, and Lexi would feel absolutely terrible for turning up at the house without a few stick insects or a maybe a green fly.

Speaking of which, ...ew. Stick insects and green flies? Lexi was glad she hadn't been born an owl. She'd starve to death! She made a slight face at a jar of flies just before glancing up a few shelves. Oh! Owl pellets---those seemed normal enough. That's what Apollo would get, too---a nice packet of non-disgusting owl pellets.
