Dust billowed up from the dirt road as Big Red raced through the country to the family farm. Dan drove his red car into the driv
eway as if it were on fire. The car barely had a chance to slow down before Dan was racing to Klairia's side. "Did you hear what's going on downtown?" he asked breathlessly. "It's on all of the radio stations and on every news channel on TV."
"No, I haven't even turned on the TV or radio today," replied Klairia.
"Our town is being used to film a movie!" Dan yelled. "We should head down to see if we can spot a celebrity."
Klairia clapped her hands in delight. The friends jumped into the car and were zooming toward town. Suddenly, Big Red choked, groaned, and ground to a halt. Steam spilled out from under the hood. Dan exited the car and propped open the hood, only to discover that the radiator was cooked.
"It doesn't seem like Big Red will get us downtown. I guess we will have to wait for some other time to spot a celebrity," Klairia said.
"If you're up for it, we can make the hike to town and see if a mechanic at Joe's Auto Shop can get Big Red up and running. I would hate for us to miss this opportunity," said Dan.
"I'm up for it," Klairia exclaimed.
After ten minutes of walking in the hot sun, they detected the sound of a car engine. Turning around, they beheld a black limo coming to a stop behind them. The face of Rockley Sloan, the new up-and-coming actor on the hottest TV show, All the King's Horses, popped out of the back window.
"Do you guys need a ride into town?" he asked.
Klairia and Dan looked at each other in disbelief.
"Yes, please!" they said in unison.
Klairia and Dan climbed into the limo, barely concealing their excitement. Their dreams were coming true!
