woman lived with her beautiful younger sister, Flora.”
B was delighted to see that while the story unfolded, brown books floated down and gathered together to form a mountain behind B. Green books formed trees, and a few red books gathered together to make a little cabin on top of the mountain.
“One spring day, a prince ambled up the path to where Flora and her older sister lived. He spied Flora picking spring flowers, and stopped in histracks. He fell in love instantly and asked for Flora’s hand in marriage, but her older sister refused. ‘How can I give away my Flora?’ she asked. ‘You must pass three tests to prove that you are worthy.’”
The story went on. Even B forgot that she was standing on a stage in front of hundreds of people, the story was so exciting. When it ended, with Flora herself helping the prince complete the final challenge so they could be together, Madame Mel clapped enthusiastically. B was startled to realize that the applause was for her, not just for the story.
“Congratulations,” Madame Mel said. “You pass this level.”
“That was amazing!” Trina cried, as soon as B rejoined her in the hall. “We’re both going on to the final round!”
B squealed along with her friend and jumped up and down — then slipped on something and lost her balance. It was a patch of mud from the flowerpot spell. B sat on the ground, looking at the smeared wet soil. And then it hit her — that was what Jasonwanted with so much oil. Slippery, trip-over-and-hurt-yourself oil! She had to warn Dawn.
“How much time did that take?” B asked, switching gears immediately. “Do you think there’s been enough time for Jason to sabotage Dawn’s act at the talent competition?”
“B …” Trina said, shaking her head. “Your mom’s headed this way. It looks like she wants to congratulate you.”
“Keep her busy for me, please,” B begged. “Stall her. I only need a second to warn Dawn about Jason. I just hope I’m not too late!” And before Trina could stop her, B transported back to the school and arrived in the wings. She spotted George right away.
“George!” B gasped. “Where’s Jason?”
“I don’t know,” George said, looking worried. “I think he saw me following him and gave me the slip.”
“The slip is right,” said B. “He’s going to put that oil on the floor to sabotage Dawn — she could really hurt herself if she dances on it!”
George frowned. “We’ve got to stop him.”
The current act was only performing in the area in front of the curtain, so they could cross the stage without being seen. But after two steps, they both fell right onto their backs. Jason had already smeared oil all over the back part of the stage — the part where Dawn did her big running jump.
George picked himself up. “Dawn is next,” he said. “We’ve got to stop her from performing!”
Chapter 14
With effort, B got to her feet and slid back the way they had come, into the wings. They had to find Dawn!
B peeked through a gap in the curtains. A girl was making her trained Jack Russell terrier dance on his hind legs while balancing a dog biscuit on his nose. Beyond the girl and her dog was the judges’ table, and in the front row of the audience sat the other contestants. There, closest to B, sat Jason Jameson, grinning broadly as if he was the only one who knew a huge joke. He chewed loudly on a thick wad of gum.
“We’ll never find her in time,” B worried aloud.
“I’ll go get a mop and a bucket,” George said, “and I’ll …”
“There’s no time for that,” B said. “Even if you could mop it, it’d still be wet. No, George.
You
can’t clean this floor. But I can. Stand guard so nobody sees me. C-L-E-A-N!”
B concentrated on the floor, on a safe, sturdy floor that would let Dawn do all her jumping moves flawlessly. Magical bubbles and suds appeared and vanished over the entire surface of the spill. There was a whiff of French fries in the air for
