TWO PATTERNS: flat and round methods

Meet Lizzie and Eliphy! They are twins!
Eliphy was so excited, that she will meet her long time friend, so she was practically flying on the wings of happiness all time long!
This change didn’t go unnoticed, her twin sister was so intrigued about Eliphy’s journey, and she decided to go with her.

• I’m going with you to Theodore! - decided Lizzie.
• It’s wonderful news! - said Eliphy! - I’ve got a feeling this will be a very special journey to my friend Theodore! Now, I’ll spend my time with two my best friends!
