"You mean a litter?" Dylan asked.

"What's a litter?" Ellie asked.

"A bunch of kittens." Joel replied.

The trio continued on their way to Ellie's birthday surprise, moving deeper into the forest. The three made it to a small ledge. Joel pulled back the tree's branches, allowing the twins to head over first. Dylan took Ellie's hand and held on tight, making sure his sister didn't slip.

"Mind your step." Joel said as the twins made their way over.

"We got it." Ellie replied as they carefully moved past Joel.

"Oops." Joel said as he shoved the twins into the lake.

Ellie and Dylan fell into the lake and Dylan helped Ellie up as they emerged from the water. Upon hearing Joel's laughter, the twins turned to see him enjoying the moment.

"Where?" Ellie asked.

"See it? Just through there, look." Joel pointed at the deer.

The twins joined Joel as they looked across the water at the deer.

"Yeah." Dylan replied.

Dylan looked to his sister and winked as he nodded his head in Joel's direction.

"I see it..." Ellie said and nodded back to Dylan.

"Yeah." Joel replied, unaware of what the twins had planned.
