“Well, you clearly didn’t shut it properly, did you? You complete and utter…”

Ella continued to rant, but Jasmine had stopped listening. She ran into her room, just as the sky darkened and an enormous clap of thunder sounded. The door of the chinchilla cage was open, and there was no sign of Daisy and Clover. Jasmine looked inside their sleeping boxes, but they weren’t there either.

She looked up as Tom appeared in the doorway.

“Not there?” he said, and she shook her head. “Where do you think they’ll be?”

“Either here or in Ella’s room, I guess,” said Jasmine.

“Bagsy I search in here,” said Tom.

Jasmine took a deep breath and went back to Ella’s room.

Ella was still alternately ranting at Manu and sobbing, while fruitlessly scrabbling around picking up tiny pieces of paper. “All that work! Look at it! And now I’ll have to do the whole lot again and I’ll never get it finished by the start of term!”

“It’s not my fault,” Manu was saying. “I definitely shut the door. They must have opened it themselves.”

“They can’t open it themselves,” said Jasmine. “You didn’t shut it properly. And you’re not even allowed to take them out of the cage when I’m not there, anyway.”

Ella started ranting at Manu again. Jasmine turned her back on them and began to search the room. The chinchillas must have been tired after all that chewing. They had probably curled up in a corner somewhere and gone to sleep.

Ella’s room wasn’t very big and Jasmine searched everywhere. She was going through all the drawers, looking under Ella’s clothes, when Tom reappeared.

“Have you found them?” she asked.

“Yes, and it’s so cute. Look at this.”

He led the way to Jasmine’s room and over to her bed. Gently, he peeled back the duvet. And there, in the middle of the bed, snuggled up together, fast asleep, were two balls of silver-grey fur.
