A Shiny Twin

I glided across the soft woven rug toward a tiny, bright gleam. An open silver compact mirror was resting right near the sofa leg! I stopped and leaned forward very gently. Two glowing cyan eyes blinked right back from the glass! I tilted my head to the left—whir—and the little figure tilted right along with me. I reached out and tapped the cool metallic rim with my paddle arm. Tap, tap! It didn't roll away or scurry off. It just stayed right there, meeting my gaze with the exact same cheerful blue glow.
