Ellie looked upset. “Who would be horrible enough to do that?”

The girls and Goldie shared a glance.

“Evie loves surprises, doesn’t she?” said Lily. “It must be her and Masha!”

Lily gently wiped the duckling’s foot with velvety moss while Jess explained what had happened to Evie.

“So Evie didn’t mean to be unkind,” Jess said. “She just can’t help it at the moment. Masha’s spell is making her love messes—and messy surprises!”

Goldie came over with her paws full of raspberries. She popped them in Ellie’s basket. “There aren’t any blackberries left, but these will make a nice pie,” she said.

Ellie’s eyes sparkled. “Thanks, Goldie!” she quacked.

The girls and Goldie hugged the duckling good-bye, then hurried through the forest.

After a while, Goldie stopped and held up a paw. “Something’s moving up ahead,” she said. “Maybe it’s Evie and Masha.”

They heard a sharp giggle. “Hee-hee!”

Goldie whirled around, her ears pricked. “I can’t tell where it’s coming from,” she said.

“Perhaps that sneaky pair are following us,” suggested Lily.

“Let’s not worry about them for now,” said Jess. “We need that jewel collection. Come on!”

They hurried on and finally emerged from the trees near the entrance to one of the tunnels leading to the cavern.

Lily jumped as a twig snapped, right above her head. She looked up.

“Evie and Masha!” she cried. “So they were following us!”
