21 years ago...

"Happy birthday!" Mommy and daddy and all my friends scream when I run downstairs.

I hug them and blow the candle that had a huge 6 in the middle of the cake.

Everyone cheers and I smile.

When the cake is shared I run out to play with my friends in the jumping castle.

"I like your tiara" a girl with blue eyes compliments me.

"Thank you"! I jump higher and higher until my tiara falls to the back of the castle through the window behind me.

I touch my head and look behind me.

There it is!

I leave the jumping castle and go to the back but it's not there anymore.

I keep searching with tears in my eyes.

"Hey sweetie are you looking for this?"

I look up and a man with dark brown hair and dark eyes comes in through the fence.

My tiara was in his hand.

"Yes! Yes thank you sir." I reach for it eagerly and he hands it to me.

"How old are you now?" He asks.

"Six" I raise my head high.

"Aww you a big girl now. What's your name?"

"Leigh-Ann"

"Alright Leigh-Ann. I've got to go now. I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I promise I'll come visit you later okay? Don't tell anyone you saw me"

"Okay" I say feeling a bit sad. He was nice.

He jumps back over the fence and fast walks away.

"Leigh-Ann! Honey where are you!"

"Uh mommy I'm here!" I run back to the front of the jumping castle.

My mom has a worried look on her face.

"I was looking for you everywhere"

"Uh my tiara fell so I went to get it"

She sighs in relief.

The party goes on and everyone is dancing and singing.

10 years later...

"Happy birthday!" Everyone shouts at the same time.

"Aww" I feel tears brim my eyes.

There are so many people here, I barely know all of them.

"Thank you all"

Someone brings in a cake with many lighted candles and the number 16 in the middle.

My smile widens as mom tells me to make a wish.

I wish nothing bad would happen to my loved ones.

Then I blow out all 16 of the candles as everyone cheers and claps.

The music starts and the dancing begins.

I jump around with my friends having fun on my sweet sixteen.

I get thirsty and head to the kitchen. Wow the house was packed.
