Chapter 6

Chapter SIX Mum led us to a clearing in the forest where there was a fallen log long enough for us to all sit on. Then she got the tent out of her rucksack and waved her wand. Immediately, it sprang up in the middle of the clearing. Then she collected some twigs and sticks and waved her wand over them so that pink sparks rained down and burst into a warm flickering fire.

妈妈把我们带到森林里的一块空地上，那里有一根倒下来的圆木，足够我们大家坐在上面。 然后她从背包里拿出帐篷，挥了挥魔杖。 它立刻出现在空地中央。 然后她收集了一些小树枝和小木棍，用魔杖在上面一挥，粉红色的火花像雨点一样落下来，爆裂成一团温暖闪烁的火焰。

'Lovely!' said Mum, warming her hands over it while Dad watched on in dismay. She got some vegetarian fairy sausages, marshmallows, and chocolate biscuits out of her backpack and started to make dinner for everyone. 'Mmm!' said Nova. 'That smells delicious.' We all sat round the campfire and ate the sausages and melted the marshmallows on the end of long forks, squishing them between chocolate biscuits. I felt so happy sitting there in front of the flickering fire with my family and with my new friend Nova. We told jokes and sang songs. I could tell that even Dad was

“可爱的!妈妈说着，用手在上面烤着，爸爸在一旁惊愕地看着。 她从背包里拿出一些素食仙女香肠、棉花糖和巧克力饼干，开始为大家做晚餐。 “嗯!诺瓦说。“闻起来很香。”我们都围坐在营火旁，吃着香肠，用长叉子融化棉花糖，把它们压在巧克力饼干中间。 我和我的家人还有我的新朋友诺瓦一起坐在摇曳的炉火前，我感到很开心。 我们讲笑话，唱歌。 我能看出来，就连爸爸也在

enjoying himself, though he pretended not to! When we had finished, the moon was high in the sky and all the stars were sparkling overhead. 'Pluto and I really had better get back now,' said Nova, standing up. 'Mum will be getting home from work very soon! I don't want her to worry. Thank you very much for having me and for the delicious campfire dinner! And thank you for helping me to find my moon kitten. I don't know what I'd have done without you.' 'That's quite alright,' said Dad, wrapping his vampire cape tightly around himself. 'Have a safe journey home.' 'It's been so nice getting to know you

他很开心，虽然他假装不开心！当我们完成时，月亮高悬在天空中，所有的星星都在头顶闪闪发光。 “普路托和我现在真的最好回去了。”诺瓦说着站了起来。 “妈妈很快就要下班回家了！”我不想让她担心。 非常感谢你们邀请我，并为我准备了美味的篝火晚餐！谢谢你帮我找到我的月亮小猫。 我不知道没有你我该怎么办。“没关系，”爸爸说着，把他的吸血鬼斗篷紧紧地裹在身上。 “祝你一路平安。“认识你真是太好了。

Nova!' I said, giving her a huge hug. 'Will you visit again?' 'I'm not really supposed to,' said Nova. 'But Earth isn't as awful as I thought it would be. Your human friends are lovely and I can't wait to tell everyone back home about my new vampire-fairy friend! I'll try and send you all some moon cheese through space post!' Miaow!' said Pluto. 'Pluto loves moon cheese!' laughed Nova. She held onto him tightly and then closed her eyes tight. Suddenly, sparks began to fizz out from their feet and Mum, Dad, and I stood back to watch. The sparks got brighter and brighter until

新星!”我说着，给了她一个大大的拥抱。 “你还会再来吗？”“我真的不应该这么做，”诺瓦说。 “但地球并不像我想象的那么可怕。 你的人类朋友都很可爱，我等不及要回家告诉大家我的吸血鬼仙女新朋友了！我会试着通过太空邮递给你们每个人寄一些月球奶酪！”猫叫!普路托说。 “冥王星喜欢月亮奶酪！”诺瓦笑着说。 她紧紧地抱住他，然后紧紧地闭上了眼睛。 突然，火花开始从他们的脚上冒出来，妈妈、爸爸和我都站在后面看着。 火花越来越亮，直到
