Right up until the Open Day itself, all the planning went smoothly. Too smoothly. Mrs Chandri had estimated how many people she thought would turn up, and had bought food and drink at a discount rate. She’d sorted out prizes for the competitions and we’d helped to build the enormous campfire with our fathers. (I think they were still a bit miffed that we’d conned them like that, but they were kind of excited about it too, you could tell.) Ruth had checked out the stable yard and told Mrs Chandri where she wanted to put her stuff for the line-dancing, and they’d even rigged up a special sound system too. And Stuart had delivered the Bucking Bronco and a whole pile of crash mats to land on. Did this sound too easy or what?

The night before the Open Day, we all went down to the stables. The whole thing looked pretty awesome.

“This is going to be so cool!” we giggled.

“And don’t forget we’ve got the sleepover to look forward to as well,” I reminded the others. “So don’t forget all your sleepover goodies, will you?”

As if!

The next day we got to the stables by two o’clock. It was humming with activity, but Mrs McAllister was pacing about looking very anxious.

“I’m sure it’s going to rain,” she moaned. “And what will we do then? The whole day will be a complete washout!”

“I’m sure it won’t,” I tried to reassure her. “Look, the sun’s starting to shine. Shall we just put our stuff in the barn?”

She nodded weakly.

“Crikey, she’s not much fun, is she?” Kenny moaned. “All that effort we’ve put into arranging this and she doesn’t seem grateful at all!”

“I’m sure she’s just anxious,” I said, flinging open the barn door.

It was very dark inside, and smelt of warm hay.

“Come on! Make yourselves at home!” I giggled, running up the large straw bales which were piled up in one corner.

The others stepped in gingerly. Suddenly Fliss started to scream.

“I’m not sleeping in here!” she yelled. “Not with that thing around!”
