I don’t think any of us slept well that night. It’s just not the same having a sleepover without a midnight feast! And I guess the rest of us were worried about what kind of revenge Kenny was planning for the M&Ms. She definitely had something in mind, because she kept mumbling about it in her sleep.

“Splat Goblin’s face,” she murmured. “Kick Hughes water.”

None of it made sense of course, and in the morning Kenny denied saying anything at all. But she was still determined to get back at the M&Ms. Big time!

“We’ve got one more day to get ourselves in shape for the Assault Course Challenge!” she told us as soon as we woke up. “So we’re going to train for it in every spare minute we have.”

The rest of us groaned. Fliss pursed up her lips but didn’t say anything.

“Teletubbies are on cooking duty, aren’t they?” said Rosie.

“I think so, why?” asked Frankie.

“I was just thinking that we could raid their tent and try to get our midnight feast back while they’re busy,” replied Rosie.

“We could do,” said Kenny, “but I’m starving. Let’s go for breakfast first, or I’ll waste away!”

We got dressed as fast as we could and ran to the toilet block. Everybody else must have had the same idea because there was a massive queue.

“Oh man!” moaned Kenny, jiggling about. “I’m going to wet myself if we have to wait much longer.”

“You should all start wearing nappies!” smirked Emma Hughes, who was just emerging from Arnold. “We’ve always known that you were babies!”

Frankie find I had to use all our strength to stop Kenny from swinging for her. But even by the time we’d got to the front of the queue, Kenny was still seething. “Stupid witches!” she was mumbling. “I’m going to get them!”

Fliss, in contrast, hadn’t said anything. In fact she’d hardly spoken since we got up. She kept looking round as though she was searching for someone. As soon as we got to the camp fire and she saw Snowy Owl, she sprinted over to her.

“Looks like she’s going to get out of the Blue Peter Challenge,” Rosie whispered to me. But I wasn’t so sure. Fliss wasn’t looking too happy. We left Frankie to try to calm Kenny down, snatched some toast from Emily Berryman in Grange Hill and wandered over to Snowy Owl.

“But I’m terrified of going on the assault course, Auntie Jill!” Fliss was moaning. “And I’m no good at it anyway.”

“That’s a ridiculous attitude, Felicity,” said Snowy Owl sternly. “You don’t know what you’re capable of until you try it.”

We quietly went to sit down beside Fliss.

“That’s what being a Guide is all about,” continued Snowy Owl. “It’s about gaining confidence in things and learning some independence.”

“Fliss, don’t worry about the Challenge,” I said. “We’ll help you.”

Rosie nodded and squeezed Fliss’s arm.

Snowy Owl smiled at us. “And it’s about working as a team,” she said. “You can only try your best, Fliss, that’s all anybody asks of you. Right, girls, I’ll leave you to it.
