Chapter 10

CHAPTER TEN Layla got on to Dancer's back and he flew into the sky. He headed back across the school grounds towards the woods. "We should be able to see their tent easily from up here," he said. "We don't need to find their tent," said Layla. "Look, I can see them!" She had spotted the rest of Sapphire dorm and their unicorns standing at the edge of the woods. What are they doing? she wondered. Dancer flew towards them. As he got closer, Layla saw Rainbow stamp one of his front hooves on the ground. Multicoloured lights

第十章蕾拉骑在小舞的背上，小舞飞向天空。 他穿过校园，朝树林走去。 “我们应该能从这里很容易地看到他们的帐篷，”他说。 “我们不需要找到他们的帐篷，”莱拉说。 “看，我看见他们了！”她看见了蓝宝石宿舍的其他人和他们的独角兽站在树林边上。 他们在做什么？她想知道。 丹瑟朝他们飞去。当他走近时，蕾拉看见彩虹用一只前蹄在地上踩了一下。 五彩缤纷的灯光

suddenly illuminated a path through the trees. "Hello!" Layla shouted to her friends, excitement buzzing through her as Dancer flew towards them. What would her friends say when they saw Dancer flying? "Was that Layla?" Isabel said in surprise. Sophia was the first one to spot Dancer. Her mouth fell open. "Layla!" she squeaked. "Look up there, everyone!"

突然照亮了树林里的一条小路。 “你好!”蕾拉对她的朋友们喊道，当丹瑟飞向他们时，兴奋的情绪传遍了她的全身。 当她的朋友们看到丹瑟飞行时会说什么？ “那是莱拉吗？”伊莎贝尔惊讶地说。 索菲亚是第一个发现丹瑟的人。 她张着嘴。“蕾拉！”她尖叫道。 “大家往上面看！”

The other unicorns all whinnied in amazement as Dancer flew lower. Scarlett's eyes turned the size of saucers. "Oh my… Wow!" she breathed. "Dancer's got flying magic!" exclaimed Olivia. "And you've bonded," cried Ava, pointing at Layla's hair. "How did it happen? When?" demanded Isabel. Dancer landed and Layla got off his back. Everyone crowded round asking questions and Layla and Dancer told them everything that had happened since they'd left school to go camping. "Sounds like we missed a really awesome adventure," said Sophia, when she'd finished. Ava hugged Layla. "You've been so brave. It was amazing to go to the volcano all on your own." Layla grinned. "I wasn't on my own– I had

当小舞飞得更低时，其他的独角兽都惊奇地发出呜呜声。 思嘉瞪大了眼睛。 “哦，天哪……哇！” “丹瑟有会飞的魔法！”奥利维亚叫道。 艾娃指着蕾拉的头发喊道：“你们已经很亲密了。” “怎么回事？”什么时候？”伊莎贝尔问。 丹瑟着地，蕾拉从他背上下来。 大家都围过来问问题，蕾拉和丹瑟把他们离开学校去露营后发生的一切都告诉了他们。 “听起来我们错过了一次非常棒的冒险，”索菲娅说，当她完成后。 艾娃拥抱了莱拉。“你太勇敢了。 一个人去火山真是太棒了。” 蕾拉咧嘴一笑。“我不是一个人——我有

Dancer!" He nuzzled her hair. "So, what are you doing?" asked Layla, looking curiously at the path of lights. The others exchanged looks. "Um… We were planning a surprise for you," said Scarlett. "For me?" said Layla in surprise. Olivia linked arms with her. "We were missing you and we were planning to go back to school and see if we could persuade you to come back here with us." "We've done all sorts of things to try to make the woods less scary!" said Ava. "Come and see what we've done for you!" said Isabel, pulling her over to the lights. "You start here on this path of light that Rainbow made." Layla glanced around at her friends' eager faces and her heart filled with happiness. Sapphire dorm was the best! Putting her hand on Dancer's neck, she walked with him down the path of twinkling

舞者!”他用鼻子蹭她的头发。 “那么，你在做什么？”莱拉问，好奇地看着这条光路。 其他人交换了一下眼色。 “嗯……我们正打算给你一个惊喜呢，"思嘉说。 “给我的？”莱拉惊讶地说。 奥利维亚挽着她的手。 “我们很想你，我们打算回学校，看看能不能说服你和我们一起回来。” 艾娃说：“我们做了各种各样的事情，试图让森林不那么可怕！” “来看看我们为你做了什么！”伊莎贝尔说着，把她拉到灯边。 “你从彩虹创造的这条光之路开始。” 莱拉环顾四周，看到朋友们热切的脸庞，心里充满了幸福。 蓝宝石宿舍是最好的！她把手放在小舞的脖子上，陪他走在闪闪发光的小路上

rainbow lights with her friends following. After a little way, the lights changed to small blazing fires. "I made these!" said Blaze proudly. "They're magic so they won't burn anything they shouldn't." The fires led back to a clearing on the edge of the woods where there was a large pale blue tent with a bright blue flag. A campfire was burning outside the tent and a pot of gently bubbling hot chocolate was warming above it. A rainbow arched over the tent and all around it bloomed jasmine bushes, the tiny white flowers giving off a sweet, heady scent. "Star magicked up those flowers," said Ava proudly. "They're beautiful," said Layla, breathing in deeply. "So, will you stay the night with us?" begged Olivia. "We've got a spare sleeping bag and pillow for you."

彩虹灯和她的朋友们在后面跟着。 走了一小段路，灯光变成了熊熊燃烧的小火苗。 “这些是我做的！”Blaze骄傲地说。 “它们有魔力，所以不会烧任何不该烧的东西。” 火堆一直延伸到树林边缘的一块空地，那里有一顶淡蓝色的大帐篷，上面挂着一面亮蓝色的旗帜。 帐篷外燃着篝火，上面有一锅微微冒泡的热巧克力在加热。 一道彩虹在帐篷上方形成拱形，周围开满了茉莉花丛，小小的白色花朵散发出甜美而令人陶醉的香味。 “星星用魔法变出了那些花，”艾娃自豪地说。 “它们很漂亮，”莱拉说，深深地吸了一口气。 “那么，你愿意和我们一起过夜吗？”奥利维亚恳求道。 “我们给你准备了一个备用睡袋和一个枕头。”

Layla beamed around at all her friends. Her fear of camping by the woods had vanished now– if she could climb a volcano to do what she felt was right, she could do anything! "Of course I'll stay!" she said. As the sun set and darkness fell, the unicorns munched on fresh sky berries from a sky-berry bush that Star had grown, while the girls cuddled up in their sleeping bags around the fire, dipping strawberries and marshmallows on sticks into the hot chocolate. Layla didn't think she had ever felt happier. She glanced across to

蕾拉对她所有的朋友都眉开眼笑。 她对在树林边露营的恐惧现在消失了——如果她能爬上火山去做她认为正确的事，她就能做任何事！“我当然要留下来！”她说。 太阳落山，夜幕降临，独角兽们大嚼着星星种的新鲜天空浆果，而女孩们则蜷缩在睡袋里，围着炉火，把草莓和棉花糖蘸在热巧克力里。 莱拉觉得她从来没有这么开心过。 她瞥了一眼对面。
