“Ouch!” Clover landed on a hard surface, jarring her bare feet. She’d already changed into Wishworld clothes—a sparkly purple miniskirt and fringed jacket. Of course she’d chosen a hat, too—a cute purple cap with a brim that covered her face. But she hadn’t been wearing shoes before, so she’d forgotten to pick a new pair.

Quickly, Clover scrolled through some choices and settled on a pair of purple flats. Instantly, they were on her feet. She took a tentative step and smiled. The landing hadn’t been so rough after all; already her feet felt fine.

Before she did anything else, Clover picked up her shooting star, folded it up, and placed it carefully in the front pocket of her backpack.

That accomplished, Clover gazed around, trying to get her bearings. She seemed to be in some sort of open-air building. Parallel yellow lines were painted on the cement floor in neat rows.

Finally, she saw a sign: G2. That was a funny name for a building. But then again, maybe all Wishling buildings were called by letters and numbers and no other Star Darling had noticed it. She wondered if she should add it to her Cyber Journal. Then she decided against it. She wasn’t sure, and anyway, right then she needed to get going. She most likely wouldn’t even have time for observations on her mission, since she had gotten such a late start.

First step: find her Wisher.

Clover flicked her Star-Zap for directions. She followed the route, going around and around the building, walking down ramps separating floors marked F, E, D, C, B, and then A. Hmmm, the letters must be for levels, she thought, glad she hadn’t entered the observation in the journal. That would have been slightly embarrassing.

Also, she noted the lined spaces were for Wishling vehicles. She recognized them from looking through the Starland telescope. But they seemed much more primitive up close, with clunky shapes and actual wheels. As Clover went lower and lower, more and more spaces were filled.

Beep! A vehicle was coming right at her, honking like a glowgoose! Clover jumped out of the way just in time. These Wishlings should slow down, she thought, moving to the side, where she thought it would be safer.

She checked the directions again and found a door marked PARKING GARAGE EXIT. That’s where she was! A parking garage. A sign below it read MALL ENTRANCE.

Mall, she said to herself. It sounded familiar. She’d learned about it in Wishling Ways…something about a place where teenagers “hung out” and shopped for friends. Basically, that was what she’d be doing. Making friends with your Wisher was the first step to finding out the wish. So the location seemed promising!

Stepping inside the mall, Clover was immediately surrounded by people. There were some teenagers. But the crowd was really a mix of all ages: some adults pushing little wheeled vehicles with wee Wishlings inside, Wishling kids holding their parents’ hands, older Wishlings walking in pairs. They all held bags and rushed here and there with determined looks on their faces.
