With Cressida on her back, Breeze sped across the clear stones leading up to the front door of Spiral Palace. When they entered the front room, they found Sunbeam, Flash, Bloom, Prism, Moon, and Firefly standing in a circle.

“I’m not going,” Moon said, shaking her head. “Last time was just too scary. I never want to go anywhere near a giant kite again.”

“What if we made sure to give you the calmest kite this year?” Sunbeam asked.

Moon shook her head.

“Would it help if I rode right next to you?” Flash asked.

Moon shook her head again.

“If you want, you could share a kite with me,” Prism said. “Would that work?”

“No, but thank you for offering,” Moon said.

“But if you don’t fly with us, it will ruin the Blast,” Bloom said. “It won’t be any fun without you.”

Moon began to cry, and she stomped her front hooves angrily. “How many times do I have to tell you? I’m too scared. I’m not flying this year. Please stop trying to make me change my mind.”

Breeze loudly cleared her throat, and her six sisters turned toward her. “We weren’t expecting to see you back here right before the Blast,” Flash said. “Is something wrong?”

“Yes,” Breeze said. “When we got to the Windy Meadows, we discovered gigantic bats sleeping on the kites. Cressida tried to shove them off. And I tried to push them off with a gust of wind. But they were too big and heavy. I’m worried we’ll have to cancel the Blast.”

“There are bats on all the kites?” Moon asked, suddenly grinning. She looked absolutely delighted that the Blast might be canceled. Meanwhile, all the other unicorns’ faces fell.

“Oh no!” Bloom and Prism said in unison.

“That’s terrible,” Firefly said.

“Sounds like Ernest made another mistake,” Flash said, grimacing.

“What will we do?” Sunbeam asked.

“Well,” Breeze said, “Cressida says she has one last idea.”

All the unicorn princesses turned toward Cressida. She smiled and nodded. And then she said, “I do have a plan, but we’ll need Moon’s help.”

Moon shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I have to admit I really want the Blast to be canceled. I still have bad dreams about the time I fell off my kite. I don’t think I can help you.”

Flash, Sunbeam, Bloom, Prism, Firefly, and Breeze all began to talk at once, trying to convince Moon to change her mind.

“Excuse me,” Cressida said, politely but loudly. The unicorns stopped talking and turned toward her. Cressida remembered again how scared she had felt of swinging after she had fallen off her swing—and how much she wouldn’t have liked anyone pushing her to swing again before she felt ready.

“Moon,” Cressida said, “would you be willing to help get the bats off the kites if your sisters agreed to stop trying to get you to fly in the Blast? Maybe you could just watch this year. Or, if that’s too much, you could come back to stay in the palace during the Blast.”

Moon thought for a moment, and then she nodded. “I know how much the Blast means to Breeze and my other sisters.
