The Magic Museum: Fairies V.S. Pirates

Once there was a boy and a girl and they lived near a big museum. It was huge. The girl's name was Ana and the boy's name was Julian. Ana and Julian went to the museum one day. Ana believed in magic and in the museum was an exhibition with fairies, unicorns and lots of other fairy-tale things.
Julian said: "Listen: we are not going to the fairy exhibition, okay?"
"No! I want to go now!" said Ana.
"No! There is no such thing as magic!"
Ana stuck her tongue out at Julian, then said: "Please Ju, pretty please, I beg you!". Julian sighed. "Okay, but next time we will not go there. Promise?"
"Promise!". Ana ran and hugged him.
"Okay, okay" said Julian and hand-in-hand they went to the magic exhibition.
"Do you remember the way to the exhibition?" said Julian. "I don't"
"Of course I do! I go there every day!" Ana said, running ahead of him. Julian ran to catch up.
"Ana?" He called. "Ana!". There was no answer. Julian finally found the magic exhibition. He saw Ana looking at a picture on the wall. When she saw him she said "Look, Ju, look! There's a new picture in here. Come and see!"
Julian went and saw the picture. It was a picture of a pegasus pony and some fairies. "Jeez" said Julian to himself. As you know he does not believe in fairies and pegasus ponies. Ana suddenly saw a new picture on the other side. She ran to it feeling very excited because she thought it was a picture she would like. When she got there her face fell. It was a picture of a pirate ship with three pirates in it. Julian went to the picture. When he saw it he jumped with joy. He sort-of like pirates and pirate ships and believed in them. "Finally there's a picture that I sort-of like!" he said. Ana huffed, crossed her arms and turned around. After ten minutes
Ana turned to Julian.
"I have decided to make that picture my favourite picture." She pointed to the picture she liked. "Get out my notebook".
Julian took his backpack off and took out a notebook. On the front cover it said: 'Ana's Book of Pictures from the Museum'. Julian opened the book, but before he could write a thing, Ana said:
"Wait! Could you put it in the 'Maybe' column? I'm not so sure that I want that picture as my favourite. There will be lots of pictures coming soon - I'm sure of it."
Julian wrote the name of the picture in the 'Maybe' column. It was almost full. "Five more and she will have to make another 'Maybe' page" he said silently.
Suddenly, he saw something shiny in the picture of pirates. He turned and saw a pirate wink at him! He gasped and turned to Ana. She was staring at the picture of the pegasus and fairies. Ana turned to look at him - her eyes were wide with fear. Then she said: "The pegasus pony winked at me!"
"The pirate captain winked at me too!" said Julian.
They looked at eachother and ran out of the museum, down the street to their house, openned the front door and ran into their room.
