Tiny-Time Tammy was born in the clouds; in the clockwork city of Cloudonia. Shaped and molded from the toughest of stars and given the mind from the purest of dreams, she was the kindest of them all. Though some people may not have acknowledged or appreciated her kindness, that never put her down because that’s how she was born to be. She always had a special will to help others and her family was very supportive of her, however, they didn’t think that she would be able to survive in the world of Cloudonia, in their small, insignificant clockwork city.

For background, Cloudonia is a vast land above the clouds made up of hundreds of smaller cities and civilizations. Tiny-Time Tammy’s ancestors were the founders of the Clockwork city, and it was their job to make sure that time keeps moving forward without interruption. They built a massive clock in the middle of their town that was powered by the sun’s rays and the clock-keeper, which was the most respected job, was there to keep the clock in check by using the powers given to them as the destined keeper. These powers included the ability to jump as high as the stars, and the ability to manipulate time.

So for years, the family trade has been handed down for generations, and as Tiny-Time Tammy is the oldest of her siblings, it is her duty to one day become a clock-keeper just like the rest of her family…but is that what she wants?

As she grew older and learned more about her powers and the responsibilities she must endure, she found that she had gotten quite lonely. Her siblings are much younger than her and she is always too busy to go out and talk to others, so oftentimes she goes to the library to study or read. This time, however, was different. As she was looking for a book to read, she came across one that was titled, “Earth: A Land Beneath the Clouds”. She had never seen this book before and was quite puzzled about it. “A land beneath the clouds?”, she wondered, wanting to know more about this mystical place. For hours she stayed in the library, searching for more about this land and its inhabitants. “People”, she recited, “what kind of creatures are those”? Finally, she found a book that showed her a way to this land that read, “Walk towards the path at which the sun rises and you will find the edge of the clouds”. So the next day she decided to sneak out of her little town and explore for a day. She walked and walked until she found the edge. She then used her powerful legs, took a leap of faith, and jumped down over the edge.

Once she made it to the bottom, she accidentally landed on a girl around her age. “Ouch!”, the girl shouted, “Watch where you’re fal-”. She caught a glance at Tiny-Time Tammy. “Who are you?”, the girl questioned as Tiny-Time Tammy got up, helped the girl up slowly, and apologized.

“I’m Tiny-Time Tammy, but you can call me Tammy, Tiny, Triple T, Tick-Tock, T-Money, or just Tam. What shall I call you?”, she asked.

“I’m Bailey Flora Franklin”, the girl responded, “but you can just call me Bailey. Where did you come from?”.

“I came from Cloudonia, a land of the clouds. Do you want to be friends?”

“Sure”, Bailey replied, “you can be my friend, my friend of the clouds”.
