Sienna the Saturday Fairy : A Rainbow Magic Book (9780545308830) Read online

  “There he is!” cried Kirsty, spotting a large green ear that was poking out from behind a black dress. But once again, the goblin ducked away before the girls could reach him.

  Rachel followed the sound of his footsteps and caught sight of his long nose sticking out of a man’s suit. She made a lunge for him, but the goblin bounded away just before her fingers grasped the flag. This time, he dashed right out of the room.

  Kirsty and Rachel raced after him, with Sienna zooming alongside them. They saw him run into the makeup room. It was empty now, except for some hairbrushes and makeup.

  Kirsty shut the door behind them and carefully looked around. There weren’t many places to hide. There were no boxes on the floor, or closets to duck into. There were just the three large swivel chairs where the girls had their hair done earlier. All three chairs had their backs to Sienna and the girls.

  “He must be in one of those chairs,” Kirsty mouthed to the others.

  Rachel nodded thoughtfully. Then she took a deep breath, grabbed hold of the closest chair, and swung it around.

  Whizz! The chair spun around on its base, but it was empty.

  Kirsty spun the second chair to face them, but that was empty, too. She and Rachel looked at each other. The goblin had to be hiding in the third chair!

  Kirsty grinned. “Sienna, could you use some fairy magic to spin that chair around really, really fast?” she whispered.

  Sienna gave a low giggle and nodded. She waved her wand at the third chair, and a flood of bright pink sparkles whirled out of the tip. The chair suddenly began to spin faster and faster and faster, until it was a blur in front of them.

  Now the girls could see that the goblin was indeed in the chair, and he was getting awfully dizzy!

  “Stop! I feel sick,” he moaned. “Let me off!”

  Sienna waved her wand again. The chair slowed down and came to a stop. The goblin looked very pale as he stumbled out of the chair. He swayed from side to side and then tried to run past the girls to the door. Unfortunately for the goblin, he was so dizzy that he couldn’t go in a straight line. He was wobbling all over the place!

  It was easy for Kirsty to grab the flag from his fingers. “I’ll take that, thank you very much!” she cried triumphantly. Then she raised her hand and held the Saturday flag well out of the goblin’s reach.

  Kirsty handed the flag to Sienna. The fairy waved her wand over it, shrinking it to its usual Fairyland size.

  “Thank you,” Sienna said. Then she shook her finger at the goblin. “You’re lucky I don’t tell Jack Frost what you’ve been up to!”

  The goblin stuck out his bottom lip in a childish pout. He tried to storm off, but he was still so dizzy that he bumped into one of the makeup stands and sent everything flying! “Achoo!” He sneezed, and a cloud of face powder filled the air.

  The girls couldn’t help giggling as the goblin stomped away, dusty with powder and sneezing miserably.

  “Good job, girls,” Sienna said happily. She waved her wand over the spilled powder, and it immediately vanished. All of the makeup brushes and hairspray bottles bounced up from where they had fallen. At once, they neatly arranged themselves back on the stand. The jar of face powder was instantly full again, and its lid twisted itself tightly closed. “That’s better,” Sienna said. She grinned at the girls. “And now you two should get dressed in your final outfits!”

  “Oh, yes,” Rachel cried, heading for the door. “I’d almost forgotten about the show!”

  Back in the dressing room, the girls quickly pulled on their outfits. They wore sparkly tops with jeans and pretty pink-and-white sneakers. Sienna helpfully waved her wand to tie the shoelaces as soon as the girls put them on.

  “Thanks, Sienna.” Kirsty smiled, checking her hair in the mirror.

  “Good luck,” Sienna replied. “I’ll go back to Fairyland now to charge up my wand. Hopefully, I’ll be back with some Saturday Fun Day magic very soon!”

  Kirsty and Rachel ran to the catwalk, and Susan and Caroline checked their outfits before they went on.

  “You look wonderful,” Caroline told them.

  “Everyone’s been great,” Susan added, smiling at some of the other models nearby. “In fact, the whole show has been great!” Then the smile slipped from her face. “I just can’t understand why the audience isn’t having a better time.”

  Caroline nodded. “It is kind of disappointing,” she admitted.

  Rachel felt sorry for her cousin. It was obvious that Caroline and Susan had worked incredibly hard to pull the whole fashion show together. “Hopefully, they’ll love these last outfits,” she said with a big smile. “I know I do.”

  Caroline hugged her. “Thanks, Rachel,” she said. “Now you two had better get ready. You’re on next!”

  Kirsty and Rachel went to their entrances and stepped onto the stage when Susan gave them their cue.

  A party tune began to play, and a huge, sparkly disco ball started to spin above the catwalk. The glittery ball sent tiny colorful twinkles of light all over the audience.

  “Oooh!” people said in delight. Kirsty and Rachel couldn’t help smiling at each other. This was more like it!

  “This is Sienna’s magic. I’m sure of it,” Rachel said happily.

  The girls began dancing down the catwalk, and then Susan and Caroline ushered the other models onto the catwalk, too, to dance along behind them. It wasn’t long before the audience was up on their feet, dancing and clapping, and having a fabulous time.

  “All of a sudden, this feels like a party!” Kirsty cheered.

  “Yes, thanks to you-know-who!” Rachel replied. The girls glanced up to see Sienna riding on the twirling disco ball. The fairy was waving merrily at them. Then Sienna blew them a kiss and waved her wand. There was a loud pop, and glittery confetti and streamers, in all the colors of the rainbow, showered over everyone.

  A huge cheer went up from the models and audience. Everyone was having a wonderful, glittery time, and the Gazette photographer was taking lots of photos.

  Sienna fluttered down, hidden within the confetti, to say a last goodbye. “Thanks again, girls,” she said to Rachel and Kirsty. “I must go and do more of my Fun Day work. Enjoy yourselves, and good-bye!”

  “Everyone’s having lots of fun now, thanks to you!” Kirsty said, smiling.

  “Yes, thanks, Sienna,” Rachel agreed. “Good-bye!”

  Sienna waved and disappeared in a whirl of pink sparkles.

  The music ended a few minutes later, and the audience gave Caroline, Susan, and the models a standing ovation.

  Rachel couldn’t stop beaming. “The fashion show was a huge success,” she whispered to Kirsty.

  Kirsty nodded. “And now there’s only one flag left to find!” she added happily.

  Six of the Fun Day Fairies have their magical flags back. Can Rachel and Kirsty find the final flag with some help from

  “I can’t believe it’s Sunday already!” Kirsty Tate said, glancing at her best friend, Rachel Walker. They were in the Walkers’ kitchen, wrapping sandwiches in plastic bags. “My mom and dad are coming to pick me up tonight,” Kirsty added. “This week has gone so quickly!”

  “Yes, it has,” Rachel agreed. “That’s because we’ve been busy looking for the fairies’ Fun Day Flags!”

  Just then, Mr. Walker hurried in, carrying a large straw picnic basket. Rachel stopped talking immediately and grinned at Kirsty. Nobody else knew that the two girls had a magical secret: they were friends with the fairies!

  “Let’s hurry up and pack the food, girls,” said Mr. Walker, putting the picnic basket on the table. “We want to get an early start so we can make the most of this sunny weather.”

  “It was a wonderful idea to have a picnic at Windy Lake, Dad,” Rachel said, as she popped a plastic container of potato salad into the basket.

  “And all this food looks delicious,” Kirsty added, looking at a large peach pie.

  “Put the pie and sandwiches in last, or they’ll get
squished,” Mr. Walker suggested as the girls added bottles of water to the basket. “Will you finish packing while I get the car out of the garage?”

  Kirsty and Rachel nodded.

  “We only have Sarah the Sunday Fairy’s flag left to find now,” Rachel said, when Mr. Walker had gone.

  “Yes, but this is the last flag. So the goblins will be even more determined to find it first,” Kirsty pointed out.
