Said Regy.Then a yellow car came and halted near Regy''s house and classy looking guy stepped out of the car,it was their father returning from his duties.He said "Regy,my boy,come here we are going on a tour this vaction,we are gonna stop at magcity to do that paintjob and stickers you asked for."
