78 Home For once, the tube journey was quick. They popped to Melody Road so that Peanut could change into her uniform. She ran up to her bedroom while Little-Bit and Rockwell waited downstairs. Peanut looked around her room. She saw the drawing of the broken vase and the dead flower on her bed, the slightly damp Fantastic Four postcard on the wall, the empty piece of paper stuck to the wardrobe door, and the small pile of grey powder on the carpet beneath it. Then she saw the wooden box full of Post-it notes. She couldn't quite believe that Little Tail wasn't in the secret compartment any more. She thought about everything that she had seen in

78 家 这一回，地铁之旅居然走得格外轻快 他们匆匆赶到旋律路，好让皮娜换上学服 她跑回自己的卧室，小点点和罗克韦尔在楼下等候 皮娜环顾了一圈自己的房间 她看到床上放着画着碎花瓶和枯花的画，墙上贴着微微发潮的神奇四侠明信片，衣柜门粘着一张空白纸，衣柜下方地毯上有一小堆灰粉 接着她看到了那个装满便利贴的木盒子 她简直不敢相信，小尾巴已经不在秘密夹层里了 她回想起自己在那里见过的一切

Chroma and all the characters she had met: the kaleidoscoppi, the ink storm, Jonathan Higginbottom, the Bunker, Lulu Kawaii, the Rainbow Lake, the Markmakers, Table Guy, 72. How she wished she could tell her dad about it. He was the one person she wanted to share it all with. "Soon," she said under her breath. "I'll tell you everything soon." As she folded up her dungarees, a piece of paper fell out of the pocket. It was the map of Chroma that Mrs M had given her. She picked it up and added a little drawing of a door and the words "Queen Victoria, National Portrait Gallery" at the edge of the Green Valleys district. She wondered if there were any more portals elsewhere in the city. Maybe one day she would find out. She put on her school uniform, headed back downstairs,

克罗马，还有她遇见过的所有人：万花族、墨风暴、乔纳森·希金博顿、地堡、可爱露露、彩虹湖、标记匠、桌子哥，还有72号 她多希望能把这一切都告诉爸爸呀 他是她最想要分享这一切的人 "很快，"她轻声说道 "我很快就会把一切都告诉你。" 她叠背带裤的时候，一张纸从口袋里掉了出来 这就是M夫人送给她的克罗马地图 她捡起地图，在绿谷区的边缘添了一扇小门，还写上了"维多利亚女王，国家肖像馆"几个字 她好奇城里其他地方还会不会有更多传送门 说不定有一天她会找到答案 她换上校服，转身走下楼去

grabbed three apples from the fruit bowl and handed them out. "Come on then," she said to Rockwell and Little-Bit. "Those lessons aren't going to learn themselves." The two friends dropped Little-Bit at her school before taking the shortcut to St Hubert's through the churchyard. Oh no! The physics test!" shouted Rockwell, startling Peanut so much that she almost dropped her apple. "Er, and...?" "And... I HAVEN'T DONE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF REVISION!" "Well, I guess that's cos you've been too busy RESCUING PEOPLE AND HAVING AN AMAZING ADVENTURE!" Rockwell ignored her. "I bet Newton's Second Law comes up! Must remember... acceleration is inversely proportional to mass... acceleration is inversely proportional to mass... acceleration is inversely proportional to mass..." Peanut couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny about not wanting a detention with Death Breath?" "Nothing." Peanut smiled. "Nothing at all. Go on then, give me that textbook and I'll test you. But I'm warning you, if you get any questions wrong, I'm going to make you walk five metres behind me. Peanut Jones cannot be seen to be friends with a doofus."

从果盘里拿了三个苹果分给了大家 "来吧，出发了，"她对罗克韦尔和小点点说 "功课总不会自己跑到脑子里来呀。" 他们先送小点点到她的学校，之后走教堂墓园的捷径前往圣休伯特学校 糟了！ "物理考试！"罗克韦尔大喊一声，吓了皮娜一大跳，苹果差点掉在地上 "呃，那又怎么了？" "而且……我根本没复习够啊！" "害，那还不是因为你忙着救人，还经历了一场超棒的冒险呀！" 罗克韦尔没有理她 "我敢打赌牛顿第二定律肯定会考！ 一定要记住……加速度和质量成反比……加速度和质量成反比……加速度和质量成反比……" 皮娜忍不住笑出了声 "不想被‘死亡呼吸’留堂，这有什么好笑的？" "没什么。" 皮娜笑了笑 "真没什么。 来吧，把课本给我，我来考考你 不过我警告你，要是你答错任何一道题，你就得跟在我身后五米远走 可不能让人看见皮娜·琼斯和笨蛋做朋友。"
