Inky—while Emma was getting ready for the slumber party. She had packed her bag with everything she needed, including a skeleton mask, an enormous bag of sweets, and put her pillow and Floppy on top of the bag by the front door. Elle’s mum would be there any minute to pick her up and take them both to Hannah’s house.
    â€˜Are you going to be okay?’ said Mum, coming up behind Emma, putting her arms around her and giving her a squeeze.
    â€˜What do you mean, Mum?’ asked Emma.
    â€˜Well, you know, are you worried about the slumber party and the scary stories and maybe being a bit nervous in the dark?’
    â€˜Not anymore Mum. I could do it with my eyes closed!’
    Her mum smiled, then the doorbell rang and Emma ran to the door. It was Elle and Isi and both of them were excited. Isi was possibly over-excited. She hugged Emma so hard that Emma could hardly breathe.
    â€˜This will be so much fun,’ cried Isi and then, whispering into Emma’s ear added, ‘but Em if I get a bit scared, will you look after me? You don’t seem to be scared of anything.’
    Isi got scared too? Emma smiled before whispering back, ‘Of course I will, we can look after each other.’
    â€˜Grab your stuff Em,’ said Elle. ‘We are going to have the scariest, best slumber party ever. Are you ready?’
    â€˜Are you kidding?’ cried Emma. ‘Of course I am!’
    And she was, thanks to a little help from EJ12.
