A big burly white shark. Wanna see my sharp teeth?” Ace chuckled at the joke, his mouth now pulled open wider to show his molars. “Sharks are moody and impulsive?

I’ve met some great people here and although I miss my sisters, being away from them is an adventure and well, I love adventures. I’m from Neverland! Second star to the right and straight on til morning. ”
