CHAPTER ONE "Stay very still," Olivia whispered to Snowflake as the pair of them hid behind the marble statue of a flying unicorn. "Should we go now?" asked Snowflake eagerly. The December air was icy and Snowflake's breath froze in little clouds as she spoke. "Not yet," said Olivia, her green eyes on Isabel, who was patrolling in front of the apple tree that the girls were using as base in their game of tag. "We need to wait until Isabel and Cloud get distracted." Her hand flew to her mouth. "Oh no! I think I'm going to…

第一章“不要动。”奥利维亚小声对雪花说，两人躲在一只会飞的独角兽的大理石雕像后面。 “我们现在可以走了吗？”雪花急切地问。 十二月的空气是冰冷的，雪花说话的时候，她的呼吸凝结成小云。 “还没有，”奥利维亚说，她的绿眼睛看着伊莎贝尔，伊莎贝尔正在一棵苹果树前巡逻，女孩们把那棵苹果树当作捉迷藏游戏的基地。 “我们得等到伊莎贝尔和克劳德分神了再说。” 她的手捂住了嘴。 “哦,不!我想我要……

Aaaatishooo!" "There they are!" yelled Isabel. "Go, Snowflake!" shrieked Olivia. Snowflake leapt out from behind the statue, the sunlight making the gold and blue stars on her white coat shine. She charged towards the apple tree, swerving nimbly around Cloud. Olivia's red hair flew out behind her as Snowflake tried her hardest to get to base, but Scarlett and Blaze, who were also catchers in the game, came galloping up from the right-hand side. Scarlett's arm was outstretched. Snowflake tried

Aaaatishooo !”“他们在那儿！”伊莎贝尔喊道。 “加油，雪花！”奥利维亚尖叫道。 雪花从雕像后面跳了出来，阳光照着她白色外套上金色和蓝色的星星闪闪发光。 她向苹果树冲去，敏捷地绕过克劳德。 奥利维亚的红头发在她身后飞扬起来，雪花用尽全力想要跑到垒上，但思嘉和布雷兹，他们也是游戏中的接球手，从右手边疾驰而来。 思嘉伸出胳膊来。 雪花尝试

to get past Blaze, but Blaze was one of the fastest unicorns at Unicorn Academy and Scarlett's hand lightly tagged Olivia's arm. "Got you!" Isabel whooped. "Way to go, Scarlett!" "Sorry, Snowflake," Olivia apologised as they came to a stop. "It doesn't matter," whinnied Snowflake, shaking her long mane. "It's fun whether we're the catchers or the people hiding!" Isabel looked round. "Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!" she sang to their three friends, who were still hidden. Olivia caught a glimpse of multicoloured mane behind a rose bush. "Sophia and Rainbow are over there!" she cried. "Catch them!" The game continued until all of the girls from Sapphire dorm had been caught. "I need a rest!" said Olivia, fanning her face. "Me too," said Layla, trotting up on Dancer. "Play for a little longer, pleeease?" begged

但Blaze是独角兽学院里跑得最快的独角兽之一，斯嘉丽的手轻轻地贴在奥利维亚的胳膊上。 “有你!”伊莎贝尔欢呼。 “干得好，思嘉！"“对不起，雪花。”他们停下来时，奥利维亚道歉道。 “没关系，”雪花摇着她长长的鬃毛，呜咽着说。 “不管我们是捕手还是躲起来的人，都很有趣！”伊莎贝尔环顾四周。 “出来!出来!无论你在哪里！”她对他们的三个朋友唱道，他们仍然躲在里面。 奥利维亚瞥见玫瑰花丛后面的五彩鬃毛。 “索菲亚和彩虹在那边！”她喊道。 “抓住他们!”游戏继续进行，直到蓝宝石宿舍的所有女孩都被抓住。 “我需要休息！”奥利维亚说着扇了扇脸。 “我也是。”蕾拉说着，小跑到丹瑟身上。 “再玩一会儿，好吗？

Scarlett. "It's our last weekend before the graduation ball. There won't be time to play next week and then after that we'll all be going home." The six girls from Sapphire dorm sighed. They had started at Unicorn Academy almost a whole year ago. In that time they had all been given their own unicorn to love and bond with and they'd had loads of exciting adventures together. "It's going to be so strange not being here any longer," said Ava, looking round wistfully. "I'll be here still," Olivia pointed out. "Snowflake hasn't discovered her magic yet and we haven't bonded so I won't be allowed to graduate." Bonding was the highest form of friendship. When a person and their unicorn bonded, a strand of the person's hair turned the same colour as the unicorn's mane, showing they were friends for life. From that moment on, it

斯佳丽。“这是毕业舞会前的最后一个周末了。 下周没有时间玩了，然后我们就都回家了。” 蓝宝石宿舍的六个女生叹了口气。 他们差不多一年前就开始在独角兽学院学习了。 在那段时间里，他们每个人都有了自己的独角兽来爱和联系，他们一起经历了许多令人兴奋的冒险。 “不再待在这里会很奇怪，”艾娃说着，怅惘地环顾四周。 “我还会在这里，”奥利维亚指出。 “雪花还没有发现她的魔力，我们还没有结缘，所以我不会被允许毕业。” 亲密关系是友谊的最高形式。 当一个人和他的独角兽结合在一起时，他的一缕头发会变成独角兽鬃毛的颜色，表明他们是一生的朋友。 从那一刻起，它

was their duty to help protect Unicorn Island– the beautiful land where they all lived. Olivia's friends all had a colourful streak in their hair– Sophia's was multicoloured like Rainbow's mane, Ava's was purple, Isabel's was silver and blue, Scarlett's was red and gold, and Layla, who had bonded with Dancer most recently, had an indigo, orange and pink streak. Olivia touched her own red hair, wishing she could have a blue and gold streak to match Snowflake's mane. As if sensing her sadness, Snowflake turned and nuzzled her leg. "We'll bond soon," she told Olivia. "There's time before graduation." "Yes, there's still ten days!" said Sophia. "We'll help you to find Snowflake's magic so we can all graduate together." "We're not leaving you here with horrible Valentina, Delia and Jacinta," said Scarlett. "They haven't bonded with their unicorns yet either."

保护独角兽岛是他们的职责——独角兽岛是他们生活的美丽之地。 奥利维亚的朋友们的头发都是五颜六色的——索菲亚的头发像彩虹的鬃毛一样是五颜六色的，艾娃的是紫色的，伊莎贝尔的是银色和蓝色的，斯嘉丽的是红色和金色的，而最近和丹瑟交往的蕾拉的头发是靛蓝、橙色和粉红色的。 奥利维亚摸了摸自己的红头发，希望自己也能有一条蓝色和金色的头发，和雪花的鬃毛相配。 雪花仿佛感觉到了她的悲伤，转过身来用鼻子蹭了蹭她的腿。 “我们很快就会联系在一起的，”她告诉奥利维亚。 “离毕业还有时间。” “是的，还有十天呢！”索菲亚说。 “我们会帮你找到雪花的魔法，这样我们就能一起毕业了。” “我们不能把你和可怕的瓦伦蒂娜、迪丽娅和杰辛塔留在这里，"思嘉说。 “他们也没有和他们的独角兽建立联系。”
