    A whirl of stars and sparkles enveloped her, transforming her night dress into a beautiful ballet tutu. Her eyes shimmered with excitement as she stepped onto the fantastical ballet stage.

    She joined the dancers, twirling and leaping in the air. Her heart was brimming with joy and she danced like she had never danced before, losing herself in the rhythm and the magic.

    The stars and sparkles began to swirl around her again, and the magical ballet stage started to fade away. Jai’Elle closed her eyes, carrying the precious memory in her heart.
