Alitana, was at a music festival she and her friend Commenta went up to his room and
played it anyway.
Then, when Alitana got home, he found out that his PS2 was
broken and then he found out that Fluffita was playing with it. Then Alitana told
his mom and dad that Fluffita broke his play station 2.
