The Sleepy Gull Café was one of Bea’s favourite places because her best friend, Keira, lived there. She and Bea had been friends for years and Keira loved visiting Ruby Palace almost as much as Bea loved coming to the café. Keira’s parents, Mr and Mrs Makali, cooked lots of dishes. The spicy spring rolls and crumbly chocolate brownies were among Bea’s favourites.

Bea made her way into the café, breathing in the delicious cooking smells.

“Bea!” Keira ran out from behind the counter. She had smiling brown eyes and her long hair was pulled into a ponytail. “Dad’s been making a fresh batch of tacos. Would you and Alfie like one?”

“They smell amazing! But we actually came to ask you a favour. Please could we put a poster up on your wall?” Bea explained about rescuing Tiger from the tree. “I hope Tiger’s owner will see one of the posters. No one at the Kite Festival knew where he came from.”

Keira’s eyes widened. “Poor little kitten! I’ll ask mum and dad about the poster.” She disappeared into the kitchen.

Bea couldn’t hear their conversation over the sounds of chopping and sizzling. Keira came out a moment later with her mum.

“Of course you can put up your poster, Princess Bea,” said Mrs Makali, straightening her flowery apron. “Then you and Prince Alfie must try some pineapple milkshake. It’s the latest new flavour I’m trying out.”

Bea stuck the poster on the café wall and she, Keira and Alfie drank the delicious pineapple milkshake. Then Bea said goodbye to her friend and they hurried along the cliff path towards the palace. The sun was already sinking in the sky and they didn’t dare be late for dinner.

They took a short cut and climbed into the palace garden, scrambling down a plum tree that grew right beside the wall.

Bea jumped down first and as she landed she spotted someone in a grey jacket moving among the trees. “Hello, is that you, Mrs Cherry?” she called, expecting it to be the palace gardener.

Leaves rustled and the figure moved out of sight.

“That was strange,” said Bea. “Maybe it was one of the grooms from the stables.”
