Chapter 3

Chapter THREE When we got to the theatre I held onto Pink Rabbit's paw tightly. It was very crowded in the entrance. It made me feel all hot and prickly. There were so many people all jostling around and it was very noisy. We had to go and wait in a queue for a long time. 'Oh goodness!' said Mum, who is not

used to being in small crowded spaces. She waved her wand so that a cool gust of air billowed around us. Dad was busy gazing at the posters of ballet dancers on the walls.

'Don't the men look suave!' he said, impressed. 'They are almost as sleek and well dressed as a vampire. That one even has a cape!' 'Everyone stay together,' called Miss Cherry, getting out her register again. 'I want to buy sweets,' said Bruno, pointing at a stand. 'Me too!' said Oliver. My mum gave me some money for food!' Once Miss Cherry had taken the register again we all scrambled towards the sweet stand. Mum gave me money to buy a packet of chocolate stars which are my favourite human sweets. Zoe bought some sour sherbet with her money.

'I think I shall have some strawberry laces,' announced Dad. 'They are the next best thing to red Juice.' Once we had all got our sweets, we followed Miss Cherry up some stairs and through a little dark door. 'Welcome to the theatre!' she said. I felt my mouth drop open in amazement. We were in a huge, glittering auditorium. There were rows of velvet seats stretching all the way to the back and all the way up to the ceiling. At the front of the massive hall was a stage with a curtain across the front. Everything looked very fancy.

Miss Cherry led us towards a row of seats in the middle of the theatre and we all sat down. 'I can't wait to see the ballet dancers!' said Zoe.
