The invitation to Emily’s roller-skating party had arrived, but for Daniel, it was just fuel to the fire. His birthday, he decided, would be all about laser tag.

He spent the day scouting for the perfect arena, his mind racing with strategic plans and joyful visions. His voice was bright. He felt warm. He was in his element.

He drew up a list of teams, selecting the most challenging competitors. The thought of the competition, the flashing lights, and the adrenaline rush, filled him with delight.

"This will be so much fun," he declared to himself, imagining the day.
