Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO "Freya!" A banging on the workshop door made Freya jump and drop her spanner. She glanced at the clock on the wall. She'd been working on her robot for two hours. The time had flown by! "FREYA!" Recognising Rosa's voice, Freya ran to the door and opened it a crack. "What is it?" she asked. "Can I come in?" Rosa demanded.

第二章“弗雷娅！”车间门上传来的砰砰声使弗雷娅跳了起来，扳手掉在地上。 她瞥了一眼墙上的钟。 她已经在机器人上工作了两个小时。 时间过得真快！弗雷娅!”弗雷娅听出了罗莎的声音，跑到门口，开了一条缝。 “什么事？”她问。“我能进来吗？”罗莎问道。

"No!" Freya held the door tightly. Seeing Rosa's frown, she added, "Sorry, it's just I want to keep this invention secret because it's Honey's birthday present." She didn't want to risk anyone accidentally telling Honey about the robot before her birthday and ruining the surprise. Freya squeezed out through the door and shut it behind her. "What's going on?"

“不!”弗雷娅紧紧地抓着门。 看到罗莎皱着眉头，她又说：“对不起，我只是想保守这个发明的秘密，因为这是给霍妮的生日礼物。” 她不想冒险让任何人在她生日之前不小心告诉哈妮机器人的事，破坏了她的惊喜。 弗雷娅从门里挤了出来，随手把门关上。 “发生什么事了？”

"Matilda's had a brilliant idea," Rosa said. "You know everyone at school's been a bit freaked out and tense ever since the camping trip?" Freya nodded. The students had gone on a camping trip in Dingleberry Dell a couple of months ago. It had been really good fun until Diamond dorm had discovered that the ancient Heart Tree at the centre of the dell was being drained of its magic. A cloaked woman had appeared and attacked Matilda and her unicorn, Pearl. They had managed to scare her off, but who the figure was and why she had been draining the Heart Tree remained a mystery. It wasn't the only strange incident either. A few months before that, Diamond dorm had discovered that someone had been draining a magic waterfall in the forest. The teachers still had no idea who the villain was, and all the students were on edge. What if they struck again? "Well, Matilda thought that we should organise a big midnight party in the stables to help everyone relax and give them something else

“玛蒂尔达有个绝妙的主意，”罗莎说。 “你知道吗，自从那次野营旅行后，学校里的每个人都有点惊慌和紧张。”弗雷娅点了点头。 几个月前，学生们去丁格尔贝里戴尔露营。 本来大家都玩得很开心，后来钻石宿舍发现山谷中央那棵古老的心树正在失去魔法。 一个披着斗篷的女人出现了，袭击了玛蒂尔达和她的独角兽珠儿。 他们成功地把她吓跑了，但这个身影是谁，以及她为什么要抽干心树的水，仍然是个谜。 这也不是唯一的奇怪事件。 在那之前的几个月，戴蒙德宿舍发现有人在森林里给一个神奇的瀑布排水。 老师们仍然不知道谁是坏人，所有的学生都很紧张。 如果他们再次袭击呢？ “嗯，玛蒂尔达认为我们应该在马厩里组织一个盛大的午夜聚会，让每个人都放松一下，并给他们一些别的东西

to think about," said Rosa. "Just students and unicorns, no teachers. We could use the small barn by the stables. It's only got a few bales of hay in it at the moment and no one ever goes there. We're going to have a spooky theme– mix drinks to make a Witch's Brew, make googly eyeballs out of marshmallows and decorate the barn and stables with fake cobwebs. The boys in Topaz dorm said they'd help us organise it. Don't you think it's the best idea ever?" "It does sound awesome," Freya agreed. "When?" "On Wednesday night," said Rosa. "Three days' time." "But that's Honey's birthday," Freya pointed out. "Oh." Rosa thought for a second and then her face lit up with a smile. "Well, it can be a birthday party too! Honey would like that, wouldn't she?" "Yes, I'm sure she would," said Freya. Honey was really lively and loved parties and having fun. "I could give her my present at the party."

”罗莎说。 “只有学生和独角兽，没有老师。 我们可以用马厩旁边的小谷仓。 现在那里只有几捆干草，从来没有人去那里。 我们将有一个令人毛骨悚然的主题——把饮料混合成女巫的啤酒，用棉花糖做大眼睛，用假蜘蛛网装饰谷仓和马厩。 黄玉宿舍的男生说他们会帮我们组织。 你不觉得这是最好的主意吗？”“听起来确实很棒，”弗雷娅表示赞同。 “什么时候?”“星期三晚上，”罗莎说。 “三天的时间。”“但那是霍妮的生日，”弗雷娅指出。 “哦。”罗莎想了一会儿，脸上露出了笑容。 “嗯，它也可以是一个生日聚会！”亲爱的会喜欢的，不是吗？”“是的，我相信她会的，”弗雷娅说。 哈尼很活泼，喜欢聚会，喜欢玩乐。 “我可以在聚会上把我的礼物送给她。”

Rosa high-fived her. "Perfect! And we can all sing "Happy Birthday" to her at the same time. There's so much to organise!" Her eyes shone– she loved organising things. "We're going to have a planning meeting after dinner tonight in the lounge with Topaz dorm. All of Diamond dorm have to be there." She saw Freya start to open her mouth to object. "Nope, no excuses allowed," she declared. "You have to be there. Got it?" Freya sighed. "Got it, Rosa." After having lived with Rosa for ten months she knew there was no point arguing when she was in one of her bossy moods. Rosa beamed. "Great! This is going to be so much fun!" After dinner, Diamond dorm met with Topaz dorm to discuss the party. For a brief second, Freya considered slipping away to work on her invention. She was pretty certain she wouldn't be missed. But as she started for the door, Ariana

罗莎和她击掌。“完美!我们可以同时为她唱“生日快乐”。 要组织的事情太多了！”她的眼睛闪闪发光——她喜欢整理东西。 “今晚晚饭后，我们要在休息室和Topaz宿舍开一个计划会议。 戴蒙德宿舍的所有人都必须到场。” 她看到弗雷娅开始张开嘴表示反对。 “不，不允许任何借口，”她宣称。 “你必须在那里。明白了吗?”弗雷娅叹了口气。 “明白了，罗莎。”在和罗莎一起生活了十个月之后，她知道当她处于一种专横的情绪时，争论是没有意义的。 罗莎传送。“太好了!这将会非常有趣！”晚饭后，钻石宿舍与黄玉宿舍见面讨论聚会事宜。 有那么一瞬间，弗雷娅想要溜走，去研究她的发明。 她很确定不会有人想念她。 但当她向门口走去时，阿利安娜

caught her eye. "You're not leaving, are you?" Busted! Swallowing back a sigh, Freya shook her head. "Course not." Rosa clapped her hands together. "Listen up now, everyone. This is a planning meeting for our party. Remember, it's a secret! We don't want the teachers finding out. Right then, let's start with food. What can you all bring?" "Chocolate!" shouted Himmat. "Biscuits," said Violet. "My nani just sent me a box." "Hang on. One at a time," ordered Rosa. "Ariana, please can you write a list of food ideas?" Ariana waved a notebook in the air. "Already on it." Once the food had been noted down, Rosa moved on to the other things they needed to do. Ariana turned the page to start a new list. "Let's pick some purple pumpkins!" said Matilda. "There are some massive ones in the vegetable garden. We could put them in the barn and have a leapfrog race with them."

引起了她的注意。“你不是要走吧？”破产!弗雷娅忍住叹息，摇了摇头。 “当然不是。”罗莎拍了拍手。 “大家听好了。这是我们聚会的策划会议。 记住，这是个秘密！我们不想让老师发现。 那么，让我们从食物开始吧。 你们能带来什么？”“巧克力！”希玛特喊道。 “饼干。”维奥莱特说。“我奶奶刚给我寄来一个盒子。” ”等等。一次一个，”罗莎命令道。 “阿利安娜，你能写一份关于食物创意的清单吗？”阿利安娜在空中挥舞着一个笔记本。 “已经开始了。”一旦食物被记录下来，罗莎就开始做他们需要做的其他事情。 阿利安娜翻过这一页，开始写新的清单。 “我们采一些紫色的南瓜吧！”玛蒂尔达说。 “菜园里有一些很大的。 我们可以把它们放在谷仓里，和它们来一场蛙跳比赛。”
