Tiffany’s Adventure Chapter 1: Where It All Started “Donk, yay! I won against my sister again!” I said loudly, making a small earthquake. Wait wait . . . This is not even the start of the story!

I forgot to tell you that my sister was invited to her friend’s house, so she had to go all the way to Japan. That’s why she looks like she is not in Alaska.
