Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR 'MIRABELLE!' I shouted angrily. 'It's not my fault!' cried Mirabelle. 'You weren't supposed to touch it!' 'Turn us back to the right size straightaway!' I demanded and reached out for Honeyblossom who was fluttering up into the air, as light as a feather. Then I had a horrible thought.

Is this exactly the same as the last potion we used to shrink ourselves?' I asked. 'That took twenty whole minutes to wear off!' 'No,' said Mirabelle. 'This is a different one we've been learning to make at witch school. You only have to puff a bit more of the powder onto your skin and you'll grow to your full size again. It's foolproof! Don't worry!' 'Oh good,' I said, feeling relieved. 'Give me the compact then! Now!' But Mirabelle flapped into the air with her special bridesmaid's

fairy wings and disappeared into the cake. 'I'll give it to you in a minute,' she called. 'I promise! But come up here and look at the cake first. It's so beautiful!' 'Don't touch anything Mirabelle!' I shouted and rose up into the air towards the cake with Honeyblossom, landing gently on a whirl of ivory-coloured buttercream. Honeyblossom wriggled to be free so I put her down carefully on top of a pink sugar flower.

Mirabelle was right. The cake was beautiful, like a magical wonderland! For a moment I forgot to be cross with my cousin. It was mesmerizing to be surrounded by icing flowers and sugar snowflakes. Everything smelt sweet and delicious. I couldn't help touching one of the walls of the fairy castle with my finger and poking out just the tiniest, tiniest bit of buttercream. It tasted amazing. I scooped out a teeny bit more. Aunt Crystal really

would never notice; we were so small! 'See, I told you this was a fun idea!' said Mirabelle.
