Ten minutes later, Coppelia was in the alcove dressed in Rosa’s ballet clothes and Rosa was sitting on the stool wearing the doll’s red and white dress. Luckily, her hair was the same colour as the doll’s. Rosa had tied it up in plaits and pulled the bonnet down over her face.

“You look perfect!” Nutmeg told her.

Just then there was the sound of a door slamming. Nutmeg raced back to the alcove as King Rat strode into the hall with the orb in his hand. “Time to try again!” he declared, wiping chicken pie off his whiskers with the back of one paw. “Now, let’s see what haven’t I tried…?”

Please don’t throw it, Rosa prayed. To her relief, King Rat didn’t. Instead, he breathed on it. “I wish Coppelia would come to life!”

Rosa put her head up sharply.

“W…what?” King Rat stared at her. “It must have worked!”

Rosa heard the sound of music swelling out. It was Nutmeg! Even though the fairy couldn’t do strong magic in the castle, she could still manage to do a little bit, and making music play was one of the easiest magical things to do in Enchantia.

Rosa had watched the ballet of Coppelia, where the ballerina acted as if she was a doll coming to life. She moved her hands sharply down to her sides, keeping every movement precise. The music really helped. She drummed her toes quickly on the floor, perfectly in time with the short, quick beats of the music and then stood up.
