“What’s this?” Elizabella said, approaching Minnie.

“The Bilby Creek Science Spectacular Shop is opening today,” Minnie said.

“Oh wow,” Elizabella replied. “I’d love to check it out but I should really get home to write this play . . . and hang out with my cousin.”

“Yeah, true,” said Minnie. “Plus I have banned having fun until I move to New York . . .”

Elizabella and Minnie looked at each other.

“But . . .” said Minnie, “Maybe I can make an exception for one afternoon?” And she marched over to the robot, grabbed a flyer and started to run.

“Come on, Elizabella!” she cried out.

Elizabella felt torn. She had promised to go straight home to hang out with Isabeth. But how could she refuse Minnie when she finally wanted to have some fun?

“Minnie,” she said after a moment’s pause. “You know I can’t run as fast as you!” She laughed, trying to catch up to her friend.

“Your legs are as long as house ladders!”

Minnie sprinted all the way into the Bilby Creek village with Elizabella trailing behind her. Past the GoodTime Supermarket and L’Escargot Bilby, the offices of the Bilby Creek Gazette and the Shelter for Citizens of Bilby Creek in Need. Eventually they arrived at the brand-new Bilby Creek Science Spectacular Shop. It was teeming with kids from school. On either side of the doorway two clowns stood on stilts, towering over everybody in their sparkly garb, blowing bubbles down onto the throng of people that had gathered there.

“Come on!” Minnie cried, weaving her way inside.

The shop was bursting with chemistry kits and working model trains, plants that changed colour when watered, magic eggs to hatch and electrical circuits to build. All the kids were trying everything out, with great excitement.
