CHAPTER ONE "Come on, Honey!" cried Freya as Honey, her unicorn, weaved in and out of a row of upright poles. Bending round the final pole, Honey raced towards a table with two beanbags on it and a large hoop on the ground. Freya could hear her friends from Diamond dorm cheering them on. "Go, Freya! Go, Honey!" "You're in the lead! We can win!" "Miss the hoop!" chanted the boys from Topaz dorm as Honey skidded to a halt by the table. Freya ignored them. Leaning down and grabbing the first beanbag, she aimed carefully and threw it into the hoop on the ground. Honey nudged the next beanbag closer to Freya's hand with her nose and Freya threw that one into the hoop too.

第一章“来吧，亲爱的！”弗雷娅叫道，这时她的独角兽霍妮在一排直立的柱子间进进出出。 霍妮绕着最后一根杆子弯下腰，奔向一张桌子，桌子上放着两个豆袋，地上放着一个大铁环。 弗雷娅可以听到她在戴蒙德宿舍的朋友们在为他们加油。 “去,弗雷娅!去,亲爱的!”“你领先了！”我们能赢！”“投丢了！”当霍妮在桌子旁滑倒时，黄玉宿舍的男生们齐声喊道。 弗雷娅没有理睬他们。她弯下腰，抓起第一个豆袋，小心翼翼地瞄准，把它扔进了地上的铁圈里。 霍妮用鼻子把下一个豆袋推到弗雷娅的手上，弗雷娅把那个也扔进了筐里。

"Thanks!" she gasped as Honey set off, galloping determinedly towards a tall tube standing in the grass. It was a Sunday afternoon and Diamond and Topaz dorms were holding an obstacle race in the grounds of Unicorn Academy. The two dorms got on really well and hung out a lot. They'd set the course up together. The fastest to finish would win but time was being added on for every mistake each unicorn-and-rider pair made. So far, Honey and Freya hadn't got anything wrong! Reaching the tube, Freya threw herself from Honey's back. She'd been looking forward to this challenge! The tube had a small white ball inside it and the rider had to somehow get it out of the tube without touching it and put it into a cup. There were two long-handled spoons beside it. Everyone else had taken ages to release the ball using only the spoons, as they kept dropping it. Freya loved making things work and this was her kind of challenge. "I need water!" she told Honey as she dismounted. "Can you get some from the bird

“谢谢！”她喘着气说，这时霍妮出发了，她毅然决然地奔向草丛中的一根高高的管子。 那是一个星期天的下午，钻石和黄玉宿舍在独角兽学院的场地上举行了一场障碍赛跑。 两个宿舍的人相处得很好，经常出去玩。 他们一起设定了路线。 跑得最快的人获胜，但独角兽和骑手组合每犯一个错误，时间就会延长。 到目前为止，霍妮和弗雷娅还没有做错任何事！走到管子旁，弗雷娅从霍妮的背上跳了下去。 她一直期待着这次挑战！管子里有一个小白球，骑手必须在不碰它的情况下把它从管子里拿出来，然后把它放进一个杯子里。 旁边有两把长柄勺子。 其他人花了很长时间才用勺子把球弄出来，因为他们一直把球弄掉。 弗雷娅喜欢让事情顺利进行，这是她的挑战。 “我需要水！"她下马时对霍妮说。 “你能从那只鸟那儿弄点吗？

bath? As much as you can!" Not stopping to ask why, Honey galloped to the bird bath, filled her mouth until her cheeks bulged and galloped back. Freya pointed to the tube. "In there, Honey!" Honey spat a stream of water into the tube. As the tube filled up, the ball was pushed upwards. When it reached the top, Freya scooped it out with one of the spoons and tossed it into the cup. It had taken almost no time at all. "We did it!" she cried, jumping on to Honey's back. The two of them raced across the finishing line with Honey's long red and gold mane and tail streaming out behind her. "Freya won by miles!" shouted Rosa, who had been timing Freya's round along with Miki from Topaz dorm. "Diamond dorm are the best!" she whooped. Freya and Honey were quickly surrounded by the rest of Diamond dorm and their unicorns.

洗澡吗?尽你所能！”霍妮没有停下来问为什么，她飞奔到鸟浴池，嘴里装满了东西，直到她的脸颊鼓起，然后飞奔回来。 弗雷娅指着电视。 “在那儿，亲爱的！”蜂蜜往管子里吐了一股水。 当管子装满时，球被向上推。 当它到达顶部时，弗雷娅用一个勺子把它舀了出来，扔进了杯子里。 这几乎没花多少时间。 “我们成功了！"她叫道，跳上霍妮的背。 他们俩冲过终点线，哈妮长长的红金色鬃毛和尾巴在她身后飘动。 “弗雷娅遥遥领先！”罗莎喊道，她和托帕石宿舍的米基一起为弗雷娅的回合计时。 “钻石宿舍是最好的！” 弗雷娅和霍妮很快就被钻石宿舍的其他人和他们的独角兽包围了。

"That was brilliant!" exclaimed Matilda, throwing her arms round Freya. Freya wriggled away. She didn't really like hugging or being hugged. "You were so clever on that last challenge," said Ariana. "I can't believe you thought to use water to get the ball out," Violet agreed. Freya grinned. "It was fun, wasn't it, Honey?" Honey whinnied in agreement. "Rematch!" shouted Himmat from Topaz

“太棒了！”玛蒂尔达喊道，伸出双臂搂住弗雷娅。 弗雷娅扭动着身子走开了。她真的不喜欢拥抱或被拥抱。 “你上次挑战时真聪明。”阿利安娜说。 “我真不敢相信你居然想到用水把球弄出来，”维奥莱特同意道。 弗雷娅笑了。“很有趣，不是吗，亲爱的？”蜂蜜哼了一声表示同意。 “重赛！”托帕石的希马特喊道

dorm. "Let's go again." "OK," said Rosa eagerly. "You're on!" "Count me out," said Freya. "It's been great, but I've got stuff to do." "Your big secret invention?" asked Violet. Freya nodded. "Oh," Honey complained. "Can't we stay, Freya. Please? You can work on your invention another time." "No, I really need to do some now," Freya said, dismounting and giving Honey a pat. "You can stay though." Honey didn't know yet that the secret project was a present for her birthday in just three days' time and Freya still had lots of work to do on it. "It won't be the same without you," Honey said, nudging her with her nose. "Please stay?" But Freya wouldn't be persuaded. She said goodbye and hurried back through the gardens towards the school. Her invention– a robotic unicorn that would bring Honey treats whenever she wanted– had been inspired by the automated trolleys that trundled around the stables moving

宿舍。“我们再去一次吧。”“好吧，”罗莎急切地说。 “你!”“别把我算进去，”弗雷娅说。 “这很棒，但我还有事情要做。” “你的大秘密发明？”维奥莱特问。 弗雷娅点了点头。“哦，”霍妮抱怨道。 “我们不能留下来吗，弗雷娅？”好吗? 你可以改天再做你的发明。” “不，我现在真的需要做点什么，”弗雷娅说着下了马，拍了拍霍妮。 “不过你可以留下来。”霍妮还不知道这个秘密项目是她三天后的生日礼物，弗雷娅还有很多工作要做。 “没有你就不一样了，"霍妮说着，用鼻子轻轻地碰了碰她。 “请留下来?”但弗雷娅不听劝。 她道了别，匆匆穿过花园回学校去了。 她的发明是一个机器人独角兽，它会在她想要的时候给蜂蜜带来食物，它的灵感来自于在马厩周围移动的自动手推车
