Tonight, her cousin, Shanara, has come over because of the typhoon hitting the island. Suddenly, the power goes out! But they were ready. In the lamp light, Shanara asks to hear one of Mikay's stories. She wants to hear a scary but fun story. Before Mikay begins her tale for the night, she asks, "Are you ready?"

This father and daughter team brings Micaela's stories to everyone. Micaela is an eight-year-old that loves to tell stories to everyone.

Once a story was finished, her daddy would work on weaving her story into something that parents and children everywhere would enjoy. Mikay, the main character telling the story, is Micaela, and her daddy tries to capture the real things she does when she tells a story.
