“I love the hats,” Melli added. She pointed to one on the page. “Can you really make these by tomorrow?”

“Sure as sugar,” Berry said proudly. “It will be a close finish, but I am sure I can deliver.”

Melli put out her caramels on a plate for her friends. “Even though the Daily Scoop reports that the day is not going to be all rainbows and clear skies, this will be a Mint Jubliee to remember,” she said.

Dash flew up in the air. Her wings were moving so fast that she took flight. “I just had the most brilliant, delicious idea!” she exclaimed. Berry laughed. “Slow down, Dash,” she said. “Come back down and tell us.”

“This is not a race,” Raina said, giggling. “Though it is beginning to feel like one. The royal Mint Jubilee is in two days!”

Dash came back down to the blanket. “If we are going to make this event the best, we’re going to have to work super fast.”

“I’m up for that,” Cocoa said. “What are you thinking, Dash?”

“We can make our own blue skies and rainbows!” Dash exclaimed. “We can decorate the ballroom at Candy Castle with rainbows and make the room minty colorful!”

“That is the most delicious idea ever!” Berry cried. “We could definitely come up with some colorful decorations. Very smart, Dash!”

“Sugar-tastic!” Raina cried. “But can we keep the hats, too? I was getting excited about a Berry original design.” She smiled at Berry.

“Sweet strawberries, of course!” Berry exclaimed.

“That is a supersweet idea,” Melli said.

Cocoa put up her hand. “Hold on,” she said. “We need permission from the castle to change the place and theme of the jubilee.”

“What’s this about the jubilee changing?” Prince Scoop asked as he landed next to Dash.

Berry, Raina, Melli, and Cocoa were shocked to see Prince Scoop standing on Dash’s blanket.

“Um, I forgot to mention that we were going to have a special guest for Sun Dip tonight,” Dash said, blushing. In all the excitement, she had forgotten to mention that she had invited Prince Scoop. “I guess this was a good time for you to come!” she said to the prince.

Berry pulled her cotton-candy woven wrap around her. “Oh, Prince Scoop,” she said, “Dash didn’t tell us you’d be joining us. We’re really not prepared for such a special visitor.”

“I wish we had known so we could have prepared a big feast,” Melli said, looking down at just the few bites of sweet treats left.

“Oh, Berry,” Dash said, “you look perfect! And Prince Scoop doesn’t care about all that formal stuff.”

“Please sit on my blanket,” Melli said, flying over to sit with Cocoa to make room for the prince.

“It’s so mint that Prince Scoop came, don’t you think?” Dash said, grinning. “Make him feel comfortable!”

Prince Scoop laughed. “Oh, please,” he said. He settled down on Melli’s blanket. “I am happy to be here. I’m glad you weren’t expecting me. I wanted to come see you without being all royal.” He winked at Dash. “This is really nice. Especially with the rain stopping.
