Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE We all followed Dad back into the house to the kitchen. A giant cake stood in the middle of the table decorated all over with stars and bats and stripes. Hundreds of candles were stuck into the icing. 'That's a lot of candles!' said Samantha.

'It's the way they do it at vampire and fairy parties,' I explained proudly. Mum and Dad smiled down at me and then everyone started to sing. 'Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, Isadoraaa...' I tried hard to blow all the candles out. It took a long time and in the end everyone had to join in. Dad started to cut the cake. 'This top layer is the red layer,' he said. 'Specially for vampires.' He handed a piece to Oliver. 'The second layer is for fairies,' said Mum. 'It's got flower petals in it and changes flavour whenever you take a bite.'

She cut a slice from the fairy layer and handed it to Samantha. 'The rest is regular human cake,' said Dad. 'Who wants a slice?' Everyone put up their hands but no one wanted to eat the regular human sponge. They all wanted a slice of the fairy and vampire cakes. 'It's so yummy!' said Oliver. 'You'd better have some red juice to wash it down with,' said Dad, handing him a carton from the fridge. 'This has been the most exciting party ever!' said Zoe happily.

'I'm sad it's almost over,' said Samantha. 'Well, you mustn't leave without your party bags,' said Dad, hurrying out to fetch them. He came back and handed my friends one each. 'Ooh,' said Sashi pulling something out of her bag. 'What's this?'

'It's a packet of seeds,' said Mum. To grow your own flowers with. Nature is very important. 'There's also some more cake in there,' said Dad, 'wrapped in a tissue like it's supposed to be.' 'I've got a pot of hair gel!' yelled Bruno.
