“Look! There he is! Now’s our chance. We can free the Fairy Godmother!” Holly was already rushing forward, but the White Cat put a paw on her arm.

“There could be servants or anyone inside. We need to stake out the castle … think of a safe way to get in,” he shuddered. “Otherwise we might find ourselves trapped there too!”

Holly heaved an enormous sigh and as she dropped her head despondently, her eye caught sight of something twinkling inside a small shrub.

“What’s that?” In a moment, she was beside the shrub, and a second later she was waving a golden wand triumphantly in the air. “Look!”

“It’s the Fairy Godmother’s wand,” cried the White Cat. “She must have dropped it.”

“Can we use it to magic her here to us, instead of us going inside to her?” Holly asked eagerly.

The White Cat shook his head. “Only the Fairy Godmother can make magic with her wand,” he said sadly. Then his brow suddenly cleared. “But, of course! We could dance to make her appear, Holly! All you have to do is dance some of her steps. That is how the magic works!”

Holly looked at him in dismay. “Oh no! I knew I should have paid attention when Madame Za-Za taught us the sequence of steps.”

She thought for a moment. Could she do it? She had to! There was a small silence, before a feeling of determination came over Holly. “I think I know what I could do, though.”

Turning out her supporting foot and keeping her leg quite straight, she raised the other leg behind her, making sure her knee didn’t drop and lifted her arm to frame her face. Then, with a brave smile she began to count inside her head as the White Cat watched her curiously.

Holly held the position without flinching for a count of twenty, and just when she thought she’d collapse, there was a flash of golden light.

“Yessss!” cried the White Cat.

Standing before them was Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother.
