An hour passed quickly as Theodore did some simple magic that varied from the coin behind the ear trick to some basic card tricks.
Rose's attention was grasped tightly by the surprising arts of Magic. With every trick, she gave startled shout before showing a joyful smile.
Theodore looked at his laptop and saw that he was still not getting viewers, he then looked at the time and saw that it was already bedtime for Rose.
"Six twenty-five, Princess it's time for night-night," Said Theodore as he lifted her up into his arms
"No, Night-Night. Want Magic" Said Said Rose with a sad pout
"How's about a Night-Night story" Said, Theodore
"Story? Yes story" Said Rose with a quick nod
Looking back to the BoxCam he instructed "BoxCam, follow from the front"
Theodore made his way up the stairs while the BoxCam getting a perfect view of Rose drifting to sleep in his arms.
The moment they entered the bedroom Rose appeared to have some newfound energy and was no longer sleepy.
Placing her in the baby cot and tucking her blanket. Then he closed the curtain and turned the nightlight on.
Walking to a small bookshelf on the side he pulled out a picture book at random.
Putting a pillow on the carpeted flooring and with the wooden beams of the cot separating him from Rose he laid down.
The BoxCam hung over them as they got comfortable. He pulled out his phone and signed into the WideView app and opened his stream. He stuck it the side of the cot as he got back to the thing at hand.
Pulling her blanket up to chin Rose she questioned "Book?"
"Yep, Today's book is The Horse And The Snail. See, this is the Horse and this is the snail" Said Theodore as he pointed at the brown horse and green snail on the cover.
"H-hOrse, S-sal" Said, Rose with some difficulty
"Close but still very good," Said Theodore
Theodore then told the story "Once upon a time, there lived a horse in a big jungle. He was very proud of himself. He saw a snail. Seeing how slowly the snail moved, the horse started teasing him. "Hey, snail! Shall we have a race?" the horse asked. The snail was very angry with the horse. "Okay! Let's do it! We will race on Sunday," said the snail"
Theodore's voice possessed an enchanting spell that caused his daughter to listen intently. Without even noticing Theodore's stream steadily grew with it hitting a solid 135 views.
A little over 3 minutes passed with Theodore showing the picture and explaining what was happening.
"The poor horse finally gave up after trying really hard. "Okay! I lose!" said the humble horse. The snail laughed out loudly. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! The End" Said, Theodore

Rose had fallen to sleep so he sneakily stood his self up put the pillow away and did the same with the book.
He went back to the living room and put the BoxCam into its place.
He looked at the Chat and saw that they were recommended multiple short stories. Then he saw that someone questioned whether he had a power that had to do with his voice.
"Hello, I'm Theodore you can call me Theo or whatever you like. Let clear a few things up. Yes, I am a dad and no. My power has no relation to my voice. I am in fact a Super-Power holder. My ability is cloning, See" Said Theodore as he stepped back to present a clone of himself lacking a personality and life.
He then made it disappeared as he looked at his donations. What he saw was an astonishing $300 total.
"Thank you so much to all who donated and sorry for not noticing as I was telling my kid a story. For those recommending books thank you but please recommend something that is copyright free" Said Theodore sincerely
[RicherThanYou Donated $100: Wow me, and I'll drop a 2k donation. No pressure 😏]
*Gulp* Theodore was immediately put in hot water. He quickly recollected his thoughts and thought back to his original plan.
"RicherThanYou thank you for your donation. I hope you don't go back on your word" Said Theodore with a confident smile.
Walking to the side of the room he stood to the side of a clear white wall. He then removed the shade of a lampstand nearby and pointed it towards the wall and turned it on.
He then moved the coffee table and raised it to be shown in the spotlight. He placed a beautiful bouquet inside. He took out a pair of pruning shears.
He stood back and looked at the messy bouquet not sure of what to do. The chat watched on confused.
Theodore moves around the vase before snipping a protruding stem from the bouquet. He put the shears down. Chat was quickly losing interest as confusion turned to boredom.
"Please bear with I'm at loss at what I need to do" as he pulled out a book on flower arranging.
Everyone in the chat was disappointed before they noticed an anomaly. The chat spammed the words "WTF!!!!" over and over again.
Their reaction was due to the fact that the shadow of Theodore's arm and hand holding the shears was still shown on the wall.
Theodore was still looking through his book appearing to not notice.
The shadow arm began to move in closer towards the bouquet's shadow before it maliciously attacked, cutting a flowers head directly off from the stem.
When the bouquet's shadow was attacked the very same thing appeared to happen simultaneously to the real bouquet.

The shadow arm slipped out noticing that Theodore closed the book and turned back to see his now ruined bouquet.
"What!? Who did this? It's a clean-cut so it definitely didn't just break. Hmm, let's see" Said Theodore with a shocked tone.
He then skimmed through his book and pointed at it dramatically while saying "Ah that's it, water should fix it"
He looked up at the wall and saw the shadow of an arm holding a jug. Walking towards the wall he put his hand out waiting for it to be gently passed to him only to see the shadow arm rudely drop it.
The shadow of the small jug fell before Theodore caught it and it transformed into a real glass jug that had water in it.
"Bro careful you nearly broke it. Thanks anyway" Said Theodore as he turned back to the flowers not bothered by the fact he just got help from a shadow.
Just as he was about to pour the water into the vase he realised what he had just experienced.
"Hold on did I just. Shady, come out" Said Theodore in scolding tone
The shadow arm popped out with the hand facing down towards the floor as if portraying a child lowering its head when scolded by its parent.
"We discussed this before that you would not come out on your own" Said Theodore while pointing at it
The shadow arm then nodded understandably. The shadow began to bob up and down excitedly before its fingers began to change into a shape.
"Wait, we'll play after I fix the flowers I take it was you," Said Theodore
The arm replied by nodding with its hand.
Theodore picked up the jug of water and poured it over the flowers.
As the water hits the bouquet the cut flower seemed of been picked up by the wind before it returned to the top of the stem and reattaching itself.
"Okay let's play, sorry everyone this is Shady the shadow of my arm. I was gonna show you some beautiful flower arranging but it seems you'll get to see us play a game of shadow fighting. Say hello Shady" Said Theodore
Shady responded by waving enthusiastically.
